Review: Lush Creamy Candy Bubble Bar

Sorry it really has been awhile but had a few personal and technical issues (younger brother spilling half a jug of orange juice on my laptop doesn't really help it much!. Oh well, I will hopefully be posting much more regularly and without further ado onto my first Lush posting...

Now I love Lush, despite many years of finding it hard to breathe in the sickly smell walking past the shop, and I'm now getting into trying out their range of products. However, I am just a student and can not afford to buy items regularly from Lush – but that said I do have a few bits and bobs that I’m going to be using over the next few weeks. I’m definitely taking my time enjoying and hoarding them!

My flower got all shattered ):

The bubble bar is described as a combination of a bath melt and a bubble bar – and it definitely delivers on bubbles! The Creamy Candy bar has an obvious very sweet vanilla candy smell (hence the name I’m guessing!) and I LOVE vanilla scents - from memory I think this scent is very similar to the Rockstar soap.
Another thing I love about this bar are the chunks of cocoa butter in contains; they are really moisturising on the skin and leaves it feeling gorgeous (the almond oil also helps here)!

The bar is crumbed under hot running water and allowed to bubble up; it produces a great mountain of fluffy bubbles and turns the bath water a lovely pale milky pink (the pink water would be basis alone enough for my mum to buy it!).

Not a huge amount of foam as it was still filling and I only used a third of the bar

After getting out the bath the smell does remain on you, but not in an overly sickly way but a nice fragrance with very little or no residue compared to what you might expect.
The bubble bar is priced at £2.35 for 100g which although a bit expensive isn’t ridiculous pricing considering you can get at least two and possibly three baths out of each one – but they are definitely a treat for me on a day when I need a relaxing bath (I think things like this always feel better if they’re kept as treats(: )
If you are someone who loves and aims to use only natural products be aware that these bars do still contain some chemicals including the commonly used sodium laureth sulphate found in soaps and shampoos to induce foaming, so I suppose it is a necessity in bubble bars!

Pros:
- Can be easily split for multiple baths
- Produces plenty of bubbles and nice pink water
- Moisturising
- Lovely light initial and lingering scent

Cons:
- There aren’t any huge genuine cons other than the very slightly expensive price, but it is very affordable as a treat!

Price/Value for Money: 4/5

Rating: 5/5

Repurchase? I would definitely repurchase this but I really want to explore some more of Lush’s huge range first!
