Lush bath bomb and glitter = trouble.

I've got glitter in my lady garden. It isn't coming out. Ive tried everything, hopping in the shower, towelling it vigourously, it's not cutting it.

It was one of those royal wedding bath bombs with ticker tape and festive glitter in it. I was enjoying it ever so much up until I started washing, and discovered to my dismay that the glitter went much further than previously anticipated. The stuff is hanging on for dear life. Its like having shiney crabs. (not that ive ever had crabs, but if they were shiney, I bet this is what they'd look like).

For God's sake Hmm I thought I'd spruce myself up on my afternoon off to look nice for DH when he gets back from work. Instead, I've got some sort of accidental vajazzle.

Well...you could not tell him and just enjoy your evening (know what I mean, nudge nudge wink wink) and then your problem would also be his problem.

Also - towels aren't ruined as such, they'll still dry your skin - they'll just keep coating you in odd bits of glitter.

What's the purple one that smells sexy and divine and makes bubbles?
I had it on our wedding day, would like to surprise DH with smelling like it again! Wink

I think it was the Fairy Jasmine one that chemically bonded with the surface of my enamel bath and is still there, perhaps seven years later.

the ones with the stars in were less permanent.

'accidental vajazzle' heheheheh Grin

OP have you tried hoovering it off ?

It could look bad though if DH walks in and sees you hoovering your fanjo!Wink

I got one for ds with gold stars in, dd joined him in the bath. At no point did she ingest any water. They were covered, I was finding bloody glitter and gold stars everywhere.

Days later we were sat having dinner when dd sneezed and a load of gold shiny snot with stars in shot out her nose. Dh (who had only just got back from a trip and was not present for initial glitterpalooza) was Confused Shock and clearly wondering whether to dial 999 or call the Daily Mail (Toddler in cosmic snot miracle! Exclusive!) and Ds and I were rendered incapable of sensible explanation as we were laughing hysterically.

I brought the lush snow fairy equivalent for my mother in law at xmas and she only used it a couple of weekends ago and shes still finding glitter so is my father in law he said he never wants to see one again Grin

"dd sneezed and a load of gold shiny snot with stars in shot out her nose."

That's how they make Lelly Kelly shoes.

Ha ha, could you imagine if you dies in odd circumstances right now, and they found your body and the CSI folk were having a look for clues, and there were no marks or anything untowards about your body... except the glittery vag!

[imagines uk version of csi where they are seriously-facedly tweezing glitter from a ladygarden and are thinking of some crazy glitter-bath motive after they dust down your plug hole]

[not a euphemism]

This is amazing! just what i needed after a very long easter holidays!

Good luck OP, sounds like you will need it. Grin

BubblesMyBubbles · 26/04/2011 20:51

I think I am going to try one just to see what happens.
Courtesy of your Vejazzle, I have has such a laugh and just what I needed after a very non glittery day, so thank you. :O

SoupDragon · 26/04/2011 20:54

I think I may have a glittery one lurking in the bathroom somewhere... I could do with some sparkle in my life.

JazzieJeff · 27/04/2011 07:41

soupdragon don't do it to yourself!

Took ds to nursery this morning and kept noticing bits of glitter in his hair. Just popped back home and there's a kind of baby snow angel type shape of glitter on his mattress where he'd been in the night Blush

I got a lush gift box for christmas, the bath bombs were fine they were the non glittery kind, but I've only just got round to using the soap bar that was in it and it's a PITA. It's bright orange and every time anyone uses it, it leaves bright orange stains all over the white sink, I am sorely tempted to throw it out but I know they are expensive and it came from my brother who never has much money so it seems a bit mean.

I recently related our Lush disaster on here. DD convinced me to buy her a bit of lush soap. It had seeds in it. A couple of weeks later, our plughole grew a long grassy plant. It was impossible to get rid of it so I used to cut it back every couple of days.
[Wonders if new tenants in our old flat have managed to destroy the plant]

LaWeasel · 27/04/2011 12:23

hahaha!!

The plant is amazing!

I got a lush box last christmas but gave it away (I have allergies so only use certain products and cba to discover if lush is okay or not) starting to think I was very lucky!

Could you use a nit comb?

SoupDragon · 27/04/2011 12:30

You know those hundreds of little bags you have stuffed in a drawer... the ones that came with the washing powder tablets...? Put the bath bomb in one before putting it in the bath. It catches all the seaweed/confetti/petals (but not glitter)

SoupDragon · 27/04/2011 12:31

What sort of plant was it BTW?

JazzieJeff · 27/04/2011 15:57

soupdragon that's the best idea ever. I may well do that when I use my disease infested (see above posts) seaweed bath bomb.

teebee unfortunately it's not just in my pubes; it's on the skin surrounding it too and seems to be particularly attracted to recently shaved parts. It's like it's superglued on. I even tried scratching at the glitter earlier but to no avail.

kreecher hats off to you. Your plant blows my glitter tale of woe clean out the water Grin was it some sort of cress plant, perhaps? Those grow awfully quickly. I grew some in preschool on some damp cotton wool in three days.
