review | lush northern lights bath bomb

lush northern lights bath bomb

It was intact when I got it, but it somehow broke in between me saran-wrapping my bath bombs after I took pictures for my haul post and right before I used it... boo! Sorry it's taken me so long to have this up - I absolutely hate being disturbed when I take baths so I only do it when nobody is home, haha. Northern lights isn't available anymore since it was only around for the holidays, but let's hope it'll come back next year.

lush northern lights review

Sadly I've come to realize that unless I have a decent photography light setup in my bathroom, the lighting is always going to be crappy because there's a wall between the tub and the window. So whenever I move out, I'll have to keep good, natural bathroom lighting in mind.

Like Sparkler, it didn't deliver in terms of moisture - but now that I think about it, I don't think most bath bombs were made for hydrating the skin unless it says in the product description, like Avobath or Butterball? Still, the mini-show in my bathtub was incredible and so was the scent - I'd say it was floral but sexy at the same time. If it came in a perfume, I'd wear it.

The final result: deep purple waters, with floating stars! For anyone that knows me, this is straight up my alley. I believe the website said they were confetti stars, but it's not papery and even though they reminded me of sprinkles you'd find on desserts, they didn't dissolve unless I squished them. I'd repurchase this without a doubt, though next time I'll probably try it with a bath melt.

  3. I almost believe that bath bombs are only good for
    the 'show' haha ;P and the scent.
    I also like the name given 'Northern Light' too!

  17. I tried another one and that was really moisturizing surprisingly! I like the name as well, if you ever watched shaman king, sakamoto maaya sings one of the songs named "northern lights"!

  18. I used to never be a bath person either, before trying Lush haha. I like everything I've tried from them so far!

  19. This is a gorgeous bath bomb! I've only tried one so far as I hate knowing how much I'm spending on one bath since I like to take them once a week (I am going all out before I go to college in the Fall and have to miss this wonderful luxury.) I tend to sprinkle a bit each time to make them last. You should try their bath melts as they are so incredibly moisturizing! Lush's Ro's Argan body conditioner is also a great product for leaving your skin nice and soft.

  20. Hahaha, at the rate I'm going I'm gonna end up taking one bath a week with Lush as well :P Going to school full time, working 5-10 hours shy from full time and blogging is quite draining and I feel that baths are the only thing keeping me sane at the moment! I want to try Ro's Argan body conditioner, but I have all those TBS body butters to use up first - trying to be good about using everything up before the next purchase!
