lush love locket bath bomb

lush love locket review


Metaphorically, breaking hearts is a bad thing, but literally breaking this one is good ;) You can break this huge bath bomb in half, and inside is a smaller heart - making this useable for three baths, or so Lush says. Love Locket is scented with vanilla, jasmine, and neroli essential oils and even though I generally don't like anything vanilla scented, Lush knows what they're doing.

I took a kitchen knife, stabbed it in (carefully!), wiggled it a bit, and took it out to poke it in another place until I could break it apart. Word of advice: definitely have some old papers around because the mess will be inevitable.

Dropping one of the halves in - how pretty! It fizzed away much quickly than Northern Lights or Sparkler did, though those were designed for a better show. The outer halves are embedded with light pink paper hearts, which slowly dropped to the bottom of the tub. I was surprised at how moisturizing this one was! I didn't even feel the need to reach for my body butter once I stepped out of the bath, though I did have to slather some on my feet a while afterwards. But whatevs, my feet always need the extra attention anyway.

I had the luxury of taking TWO baths over the weekend for this post, and can I just say it's sooooo relaxing. Also, it seems like turning on my very orangey bathroom light makes the lighting better post-processing? Anyway, back on topic...

The middle part of the bath bomb. I thought maybe the inside would be jam packed with oils and fragrance since it's so tiny compared to all the other bath bombs Lush had to offer, but that wasn't the case. The middle piece is definitely not enough for a bath, so I'd suggest using it with another bath bomb or melt (even though I haven't tried those yet haha). Or maybe as a foot soak. I just chucked the other half in.

The hearts from the middle are darker than the outer halves, and those float. They're made of the same squishy material the stars from Northern Lights were made of.

The aftermath, which was easily washed away with a quick rinse from the shower.

Lush says you can use the entire thing at once for the most luxurious soak imaginable, but I found that just half of it was more than enough :) I'd purchase it again, for sure - in fact, I think I might need to stock up on these before they sell out!

  1. How cute are those little hearts!!! I do love vanilla scents so I would like this. That heart In the middle is super cute too, too bad it wasn't enough!! Omg their bath melts are amazing! They aren't as fun at the bath bomb, but the one called you've been Mangoed smells so amazing and it's super moisturizing too!

  3. This is HUGE! I like it when you're able to break them up to get a couple of baths out of one product. This sounds lovely & perfect for Valentines Day. I am going to treat myself to one .... or two

  7. It didn't cross my mind that some people don't have tubs! I was going to give a bath bomb to a friend for a Valentine's Day gift and I texted her asking if she had a bathtub. She thought I was on something hahaha. It's good to know that some people don't have bathtubs, cause if she didn't it would have been a pretty awkward gift :P
