Lush - Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb Review with Pictures!

Phoenix rising is the most gorgeous shade of deep purple. It is decorated with gold dust and topped off with a cinnamon stick which floats around in the bath with you after the Bath Bomb has dissolved - Bonus!

Before I get on to the pictures of Phoenix Rising in the Bath I would like to declare that I, Claire Danielle, have taken my level of Lush-Geekiness to the very highest level! Last night while waiting for my bathtub to fill up I decided Matching Nails and Bath Bombs should totally be a thing! Perhaps I am taking my Lush Obsession too far but there was something about matching my nails to my bath bomb which really made me feel like I had my life together!

I didn't have the right shade of purple in my collection so I mixed Nails Inc - Upper Brook Street with Ciate - Shaken Not Stirred which created a gorgeous metallic pinky purple. I then used a Gold Leaf top coat on my accent nails to try and resemble the top of Phoenix Rising.

 

@clairelladaniella You know you've got your sh*t together when your Nails and Bath Bomb match! #WinningAtLife

Ok so back to the Bath Bomb! Phoenix Rising instantly turns your bath water pink before gradually deepening into a gorgeous pinky purple. When you drop it in your bath it sinks right to the bottom and then rises to the top. Lush says - We believe in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again. This Bath Bomb is a tribute to our belief that great things can rise out of the ashes, just like the mythical Phoenix''

Awwwwwww ♥

 

Who would have thought Pink, Purple and Green could look so pretty!?

Bath Pug was enjoying it as per usual! He tries to play it cool and act like he's not really interested but he was LOVIN' IT!

I hate to bring the mood in the room down because I know we're all having fun but the beautiful Phoenix Rising is one of the Victims of that Pesky Discon-Monster who has been running around causing havoc by discontinuing some of my Favourite Bath Bombs this year!

It has already been taken off of the Website so if you want to get your hands on it I would pop down to your local lush ASAP.

For the Official Discontinue List 2015 see my last Blog Post - Get your tissues ready!!

Quick Review of Lush Intergalactic Bath Bomb - London Oxford Street Exclusive - Pictures

 

This little beauty is another Exclusive Bath Bomb which I picked up from their Oxford Street Store in London. I was instantly drawn to it because I seem to love all of their 'sky' themed Bath Bombs (Twilight, Northern lights *Cries bring it baaaack!* and Shoot For The Stars *Cries even louder! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!*)

 

Upon first fizz there is an explosion of colour, which, funnily enough reminds me of 'Intergalactic stuff' like far far away Galaxies! I know, very observant of me right?

 

Unfortunately I was so busy staring at the bath and all the pretty colours,

 

...... oooooo pretty colours..... 

 

I didn't manage to take many photos of this one. I'm planning another trip to Oxford Street so I can stockpile this Bath Bomb so hopefully I will be able to do a much more informative review soon. For now I will just ramble on...

 

 

I just adore the Pinks, Purples and Blues in this Bath Bomb! Even now as I'm writing this review I just keep stopping and staring at the picture below. I take all my photos on the iPhone6, I like that they are true to life. I haven't used any fancy tricks, effects or lenses to change the look of the Bath Bombs. I just sharpen them, sometimes use the flash or turn up the brightness if the picture has come out too dark.

 

 

 

 

 

Even my Bath Friends are loving this Bath Bomb! Once all the pretty colours have disappeared you're left with this gorgeous dark blue bath water which is FULL of glitter!!

 

 

Oooo doesn't it just feel like you're floating in the night sky...    with some ducks.

Lush London Oxford Street Exclusive - Frozen Bath Bomb Review and Pictures

 

This Gorgeous little guy is an Exclusive Bath Bomb from Lush's London Oxford Street Store. It can sometimes be found on good ol' eBay so if you're desperate to get your mitts on it but can't travel to London it's definitely worth keeping an eye out for it on there!

It's a gorgeous ice blue with a turquoise band around the centre, and yes of course it's very glittery!!

You don't need to be a diehard Frozen fan to enjoy this Frozen-Inspired Bath Bomb. I reluctantly watched Frozen last Christmas (and secretly enjoyed every minute of it but I'll never tell anyone!) and I didn't feel the need to immediately rush out and buy everything 'Frozen'. So when I heard about this Bath Bomb it didn't even cross my mind to give it a go. In fact I ignored it for a good few weeks until I finally decided ''Oh what the hell! You only live once!'' and shoved one into my Basket along with lots of other goodies!

When the time came to drop Frozen into my bath (because I had run out of everything else) I immediately felt a deep sense of regret! ''How could I have been so cruel!?'' After weeks of ignoring it in Lush and then a further month of ignoring it in my room - leaving it at the bottom of the pile while I picked out all my more favourable Bath Bombs! I am finally noticing just how beautiful this Bath Bomb really is! Once dropped in the bath the ice blue shell creates a glistening white foam and the turquoise band turns the water the most AMAZING shade of Turquoise Blue I have ever seen! To be honest It didn't make me feel very 'Frozen-y'... it made me feel like a FLIPPIN' MERMAID CHILLIN OUT IN PARADISE!!

So... the moral of the story is 'Never Judge a Bath Bomb by its Name'. I will never forgive myself for making Frozen feel like the last Kid to get picked in PE - that's not a nice feeling...trust me! Maybe after I've taken it out for a nice expensive meal it will find it in its heart to forgive me (a lesson to be learnt their lads!)

Below is the picture which captured the exact moment I realised I was head over heels in love with this Bath Bomb!!

What do you guys think? Tell me you don't want to dye your hair red, dive right in there and pretend to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid??
