Today I'm bringing you a review of the much hyped Golden Egg bath bomb by Lush. I picked this one up before I actually read any reviews from other bloggers, but absolutely loved the glittery appearance of this bomb, and lets face it, I'm a magpie for anything glittery.
So to begin, obviously, the overall look of this egg is a little bit special. It's thick with glitter making it look like a very luxurious and inviting bath bomb. I will however just say that mine was a little sticky to touch, & I'm not sure if this has been the case for everyone, but when handling it you get a significant amount of glittery residue stick to your fingers.
What Lush say; "A glistening golden bath melt and bath bomb rolled into one. Because of its luxurious bath melt outer layer, when you first drop this into the bath it will sink down, then bob back to the top as the bath bomb center begins to fizz away, filling your bath water with its sumptuous honey-toffee fragrance."Straight away you can smell the orange oil, which if you read my Midweek Treat series you'll know that citrus tones are my favorite kind of scent. So immediately I was really excited for this bomb. On hitting the water the Golden Egg span releasing all it's glitter and leaving me with a slow fizzing yellow bomb.
But also, if you've read any of my previous lush posts you may already be able to guess my final feelings towards this bomb. Yellow?! Why the yellow!? I don't know about you ladies, but I don't find bathing in piss coloured water particularly relaxing. And it was such a shame because this silky bomb smelt utterly delicious.
I cannot deny that I left the water feeling silky soft and smelling amazing, but i just can't get over the color. Lush bombs are famous for their bright colours and I cant help but wonder if this would have been better in an orange tone rather than yellow? - So, with much disappointment, I'm going to have to rate this bomb an unappealing 3/5. Unfortunately I don't think I;ll be running to purchase this pretty to boot bomb again.
