Good day fair peoples!
This is a review of a Lush product I got for my birthday
last month. I just used it, so I thought I’d let you in on what I thought of it
^.^ (note this, nor any other review of things I’ve been given, will be
influenced by the fact I didn’t buy it myself)
So. To the facts. The product is Sunnyside, which is a
bubble bar that retails for £3.95.
Because of its sparkly nature, I chose to use this product
for a footbath instead to a proper, full-sized one. In retrospect, I should
have split it in half, and used it over two occasions but it worked fine this
way round as well, however it would have dissolved better if the quantity had
been smaller.
The product contains sweet wild orange, lemon and tangerine
oils as well as a tone of glitter. It smells delicate and decidedly clean, but
in a very natural, slightly floral way, in my opinion. As soon as I dipped my
foot in (which, I have to add, was all dry and gross from a weekend of
festivaling) I could tell this bubble bar was a good'un. My toes instantly felt
cleaner and less dried out. With a bit of a soak and a light pumice my feet were
good as new and squeaky clean.
Now, to the bad points. The only two I can think of is how
full of glitter it is (which wasn’t a hindrance in the footbath, but I think
would be in a proper bath) partly because of this, it was a bit tricky to open,
without getting glitter everywhere.
As you can see, I didn’t manage to just take it out of the bag and into the
tub. It wasn’t too much of a problem,
but because all of Lush’s products come in paper bags, it was slightly
difficult to manoeuvre.
Personally, I think this was an incredibly functional
product, and did really make the water very pretty. It smelt quietly lovely as
well. However, it is designed to go in a bath.
And I personally wouldn’t really like to use it in a proper tub. So in short, I
love it except for the glitter, which is what is meant to set it apart from the
other bubble bars. Hmm.
I reckon it deserves a 2.5 out of 5. It’s a very decent
product, but not perfect.
I hope you enjoyed this review!
Have you tried this product and if so, what did you think?
Have you ever tried any of the other bubble bars? If not, do you think you
would?
Love,
