Lush Review: The Phoenix Rising

Hello All!

This post is just going to be a little review on a particular product I got for christmas from Lush. I mentioned this in my previous post ('Christmas Lush Haul').
The product in question is the phoenix rising bath ballistic. I was so excited to get this, it's so pretty and I'd never tried it before. However I was not impressed with it to be honest.

Before I tell you why I wasn't happy with it I'd just like to point out that it may not be ALL of these products that are like this - I may have just got a dodgy one. However I do not want to buy another one just to compare just in case its not a dodgy one and they're all the same. See what I mean?

The product in question - The Phoenix Rising Bath Ballistic

Anyway. When I put it in the bath, it didn't start fizzing straight away like most Lush bath ballistics do. I just assumed it was maybe a bit slower than normal? Don't judge me, I was being optimistic.

Needless to say, it didn't start fizzing. I had to crumble a little bit off the side for it to start fizzing. 

Eventually after it had finished doing its thing, only the inside had dissolved. I was left with a purple shell floating around my bath. 

(Sidenote: I mentioned in my previous post that I hoped the things on top of the bath bomb would dissolve. They didn't - they were having a little float in the bath too. Yuck)

I tried to crush the shell hoping that it would encourage it to dissolve. That didn't happen, it just left a purple kind of powder at the bottom of the bath. 

Obviously like I say, I don't know if this bath bomb in general is just rubbish or if I got a dodgy one. I'm not going to be repurchasing it. I'm very unimpressed and a bit disappointed really... I absolutely love Lush products and I've never had a complaint before about anything I've tried, this would be the first. 

If i'm just being dramatic and you've tried and loved this particular bath bomb, please let me know and I might actually try another one. 

I'm sorry for this negative post, I just had to get this off my chest a little bit. 

Happy new year by the way! I hope you had fun!

Love

Sophie
