Hello, Gorgeous


For everyone aware of my bubble bath obsession, this post might seem impossibly shocking. So I’ll admit that I had never used a product from LUSH (that is, until tonight). How is this possible, you ask? IDK really. I had never even HEARD of the store until I noticed the name constantly appearing in posts from my girl friends on Youtube. I thought it was just an LA thing or a tiny boutique that only the cool kids knew about it, until I saw a sign for it in the Macy’s at a mall near me. (I’m embarassed for myself, really. I pride myself on my shopping obsession and I had no idea this store was even IN my mall? Fail).

So after my initial browsing (I was terrified, overwhelmed, nauseated even from the overwhelming scent) I asked on twitter what products were the best to try… enter my new obsesssion:

I blame my new addiction on my friend, Holly (Hollyannaeree on Youtube, click here for her channel). She told me this particular bomb was her absolute favorite. I’d already seen her mention it in earlier tweets, and usually we like a lot of the same things so I figured this would be a pretty safe bet.

I instantly liked this one in comparison to the other bombs for sale because of it’s coloring and obvious flowering. It’s just so PRETTY! So I explained to the sales lady what I liked (Vanilla. Lots and lots of VANILLA) and she was telling me about all their new valentines day options (some ginger man that’s supposed to be an ex that you break and yell at? lady, I just want to chill… not channel my anger by decapitating some fake soap man) so I interrupted her awkwardly by turning to my sister and saying “BUT HOLLY LIKES SEX BOMB”. …I obviously can never return to the same location now that I sound like I have an imaginary friend.

So if you’re a lush newb like me, here are some pictures of the bomb actually in action in my favorite place- my bath tub! 🙂

SO PRETTY. I put it in when the water was at halfway and let it fizz as it filled.

THIS IS THE BEST. After the bomb is finished, the rose petals stay in your water- so you’re left with a deliciously smelling, beautiful looking, ridiculously pretty bath complete with rose petals. Light some candles and feel special now.

So my first time was everything I hoped: a little overwhelming, a little unexpected, and I’m ready for more 🙂

C’est fini
