To wonder what Lush were thinking......

When they designed bright blue bath bombs?

My lovely husband bought me some bath bombs for Christmas to celebrate us having a bath for the first time in nearly two years (we moved into a complete renovation project and our bathroom is one of the last rooms to have been started). I've never really expressed a desire or even an interest in bath bombs, but really appreciate the thought behind the gift.

However, they're bright bloody blue!

I braved one tonight and I lasted about 3 minutes in the bath with it. The water went a deep blue and the hand I picked it up with is now very slightly stained a lovely shade of smurf blue.

I can't imagine anyone would bathe with one of those and come out feeling cleaner. I hosed the bath out once I got out and the blue and gold sludge that remained was disgusting.

I appreciate that I'm getting a little over invested in a bath bomb, but I know they were expensive and now I have about £15 worth of bombs that will never get used.

Is this a marketing ploy from Lush? It seems a strange one from a company so interested in being environmentally friendly.

When I get given bath bombs I smash them with a hammer and just put a few little bits in the bath at any time - that way you don;t get the staining because it is much more dilute, also you will smell slightly less like a bag of bubble gum. (But you are right Lush are awful for filling your bath with glittery sludge, old flowers petals and colours usually only seen on a Telly Tubby)

Send them my way! I love it - the brighter and more glittery the better

Lush really isnt environmentally friendly at all despite claiming to be. I've heard of plenty of people coming out funny colours and getting rashes etc from them. Could you regift them to someone you dont like very much and be upfront tp your dh about not wanting to be a smurf in 2019

I dont buy Lush - but back in the day poor DS was like Little Blue after a stupid bath bomb, the plug hole got clogged with stupid confetti and I won’t go into where all the the stupid glitter ended up. Sadists.

I’ve never used a bath bomb. I don’t have baths really but I imagine they leave you sitting in a soup of slimy, gritty perfume. The idea they might also give you a new skin colour is sealing their fate in my bathroom.

im the same as kurri,always do bit by bit

i do that with any bath bomb but lush are usually biger than norm

a big bath bomb lasts me 8+ uses sometimes

ive read that lush suggests that majority of their products are for 2-3 uses anyway

i dont buy them with bits in though,im ok will body butters that melt but i dont like bits floating

I've given up using LUSH products in the bath - those bombs should be called Thrush-Not-So-LUSH!

Lush is actually chemical-ahoy and a recipe for skin outbreaks and migraine from the smell for me! Yanbu

Blue I can cope with, it's their disco bomb i hate, that stained my bath black, so after a relaxing soak there I was scrubbing the bath clean for ages!

I'm sitting in a bath with a lush bathbomb right now. One of the very few that I could find withought glitter, it was actually for the kids stockings but I like the smell.

Bath bombs are a lovely thought. Relax in pretty water surrounded in delicious scents until you are chilled out.....
Then spend an hour scraping the bits out of the plughole and scrubbing the bath with cif cream.
Yeah, really relaxing....

I love them, the brighter the better!

Toast for more than one bath though, will be able to use this one 3 times so they can still use it.

I only use half a bomb at a time but even that method meant my children were blue for about 3 days afterwards. Never again.

*lasts not toasts

I sell bath bombs that don’t cost the earth and won’t stain the bath either. I’m having a January sale at the minute.

I've got Lush shampoo bar and a hair conditioner bar and I love both.
I like the idea of breaking them up and using a bit at a time. Luckily I don't have any with glitter in!

I love them. They never turn my skin a different colour and I’ve used all of them at some point. Maybe you’re imagining it.

Lush for me is migraine and asthma in the shop, eczema if I use the products.

Why they have to still use SLS escapes me.

Ebay

Lush flares up my eczema and I have come out in hives by just putting my hands in the water. Even their stuff for sensitive skin isn’t particularly gentle the smell is headache inducing too and I hate to think what’s in it all. Bomb Cosmetics seem to be much friendlier.

I’ve probably used hundreds of heavily coloured Lush bath bombs in my life and have never been stained...

Which one was it?

I love the ones I sell, pretty colours but no glitter! I can confirm none of them stain as I have tried them all - and I bet they're cheaper than Lush too!

My shampoo bars are definitely cheaper :)

Agree about the smell. Whenever I get dragged into one of their shops it's instant headache-inducing nausea from the smell. I occasionally buy things for the kids but the scents are so overpowering.

I don’t use them for myself but I get DS one every now and again. I usually break one bomb up into 4 so the colour isn’t as intense! Never had any staining on him or the bath.
