Project 10 lush items 1&2

First 2 items completely used. I did the "apple cider" bath cocktail. You use so white and cinders bath bombs and it literally looks and smells like apple cider. I decided I wanted bubbles (I usually do) and so I also used half of holiday bubble bar which went really well. This was one of my favorite baths ever. It smelled so delicious and my skin was so soft I stayed in the bath until the water was cool! I am very disappointed I didn't buy more of these products. I have enough left for 1 more cider bath. This year I was not prepared for the sale and didnt know of it until a few days in when stuff was gone. Next year I will be more prepared.

On to the individual item reviews.

So White bath bomb-lush project 10 pan item #1

It's normally completely white but as it was in the gift box with holiday bubble bar..it got a little stained. This is one of the smaller sized bath bombs so I used the whole thing, you probably could get away with half but i find the small bathbombs are more difficult to break so I don't bother. I ended up with 3 from the boxing day sale, I have 2 left.

Claims: to smell like fresh apples and create a frothy blanket of "snow" on your bath due to having bubble bar pieces in it.

Reality: I wouldn't say it smells like "fresh apples" but it does have a distinct, yummy apple scent. It smells absolutely amazing. This bathbomb didn't fizz like a normal bath bomb, it defiantly frothed. There was a layer of "snowy" froth on the water which was fun but you still need a bubble bar to have "real bubbles". It also dissolved very slowly, it took twice as long as a large size bathbomb typically takes. Also it floats. An added bonus, I found it kind of silky and moisturizing. The scent lingered on my skin (along with cinders) for about an hour.

Rating: 5/5 There is nothing I dislike about this bathbomb at all, except that it's a holiday item.

Repurchase?: YES!

This is my favorite bathbomb. I'm typically more of a bubble bar rather than bathbomb person, but I love this. I wish I would have grabbed up more. 2 will not last me until next season!


Cinders bath bomb-lush project 10 pan item #2

I ended up getting 2 of these from the boxing day sale, I have 1 left. This is also a smaller sized bath bomb. It has poprocks on the top and throughout the whole bomb.

Claims: To have a sweet cinnamon and orange fragrance. Is supposed to make your bath "crackle" like a fire.

Reality: It does smell like sweet cinnamon and orange. However eventhough I do like how it smells it can be sickening if I smell it for too long. So I'm not sure I would really like to use this alone. Also it turns the water the color of....pee. Because I added in the holiday bubblebar, my water was darker and literally a cider color. It dissolves much faster than so white, but probably what I would consider normal for a bath bomb. It sinks. And yes, It really does crackle. I've heard mixed reports about whether or not it really crackles. Well mine did. It started about a minute after i put it in. and lasted for about 3 minutes. It's actually really cool.

Rating: 4/5 because of the pee colored water and the scent being a little sickening after awhile (to me anyway).

Repurchase?: Yes!

Very fun bath bomb. I wish I had bought more. The "cider cocktail" really is nice.

Although I also used holiday bubble bar, i'm not going to post my review of that yet since I only used half.

In future, I think I might try to post a picture of the tub after the products have dissolved.
