Lush Rose bombshell bath bomb | Full Review
Lush Rose bombshell bath bomb | Full Review
Now when it comes to the rose scented products from Lush I’m not a big fan.
The scent of rose is not something that interests me in the slightest which is pretty ironic considering one of my favourite flowers is a white rose.
But none the less, I absolutely love Lush bath bombs because they have so many ingredients in them that make your skin soft and smell amazing, making it pretty hard not to like a product just because of the smell.
However, the Rose Bombshell bath bomb is not one I would buy again in a hurry. There are loads more I would rather be snatching up instead like Dragons egg, space girl, twilight etc.
So I am very ok with the fact it’s a Mothers Day exclusive.

Lush Rose Bombshell Review
Design
First off, I wouldn’t say that its design is particularly eye-catching.
It’s nice and simple which in a shop full of bright, colourful products means it kind of gets lost. If it was me designing it, I think I would consider more colours through the bath bomb, a more prominent smell and probably a bigger rose bud in the centre to catch the customers eyes.
It’s also very similar in design to the Amandopondo Bubble Bar which is white in colour also, plus has a rose bud in the centre. So, it feels like they didn’t try very hard when it came to the design of Rose Bombshell.
Scent
The smell of Rose Bombshell isn’t great in my opinion. I LOVE strong smells, smells that are fairly fruity and remind me of summer or very musky and bold.
Rose bombshell is neither, It’s not a smell I particularly remember and I only used it 20 minutes ago! Usually when I use a bath bomb or bubble bar etc… from Lush, my bathroom smells of it for HOURS which is something I really love, but not with this one.
It is a very forgetful scent.
But with saying that, one thing that I haven’t forgotten is, I felt it had a pretty earthy smell once released into the water. I had a vision of being surrounded by trees while I had my eyes closed, inhaling the aroma.
Once this bath bomb was released into the water you could definitely tell it was a lush product. No doubt about it.
In the water
The bomb fizzed up all nice making it look very frothy in the water! For the first time since picking this product up in the shop, I was pleased and excited to see what was coming next.
Already I could feel the water getting very smooth around my skin and I had only just placed it in the water, This made me happy.
Ingredients
This bath bomb is packed with some of my favourite ingredients like Soya milk, rose and rose wood natural oils. No wonder I am loving how my skin feels!
It’s conditioning and moisturising, It’s heaven.
*Other ingredients in this bath bomb include fine sea salt, Orange flower absolute, citric acid and sodium bicarbonate etc…*
Visuals
Once the bath bomb had been fizzing away for a few seconds in the water, all I could see is the colour pink pouring out the side of it.
Now this is what I love about lush bath bombs, the surprise of what’s coming next!
Will it be another colour? will it start spinning uncontrollably? Who knows!
So it had definitely grabbed my full attention at this point.
The pink keeps going for a little bit then out pops the rose petals.
It’s beautiful to watch because they are coming out slowly then floating around the water. I was definitely feeling relaxed and pampered at this moment.
I’m not sure why, but rose petals in the bath scream relaxation to me.
The bath bomb was now starting to fizz out at that point and all the rose petals were on display floating around my bath tub.
The water was a nice milky colour with a tint of pink. I couldn’t really smell anything if I’m honest though which was a bummer.
My skin however did feel great and I was ready to just lay there in the bath and drift off into a nice little day dream.
Final Thoughts on Lush Rose Bombshell
All in all Rose bombshell is a nice bath bomb visually and I like how it made my skin feel.
I wouldn’t rush to buy this if it were to come out again in store though, however if I were to get it for mothers day or as a present at any time, I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed.
Despite the initial look and smell, I loved the rose petals and how smooth my skin felt afterwards.

I'm a huge Lush lover (in particular their shower gels) and did enjoy the Rose Bombshell. I just used the Shoot For the Stars Christmas bath bomb and it's like being immersed in the night sky. So amazing!Di
