Lush Bath Bomb Review: Honey Bee.

Ahhhh, Lush. The word that makes most bloggers squeal with joy - including my own. I love the place! Yesterday I was in the city with my mum, so, with a few coins jangling in my pocket, I walked into Lush. I was originally going to get The Comforter, but considering that a) it cost more than I had and b) I had already tried the shower gel so I wanted to switch things up a bit, so I got the Honey Bee bath bomb. This thing is soooo pretty - I mean, just look at it!
I do feel that it is a real bang for your buck. I mean, I paid $6.50 (about 12 pounds? I think) for this, and I've gotten three uses out of this already. All the baths were still amazing considering the smaller portions I used, and I do have a feeling I'll be buying this again in the future.

However, they say to get the bad stuff out of the way first. So here are the minor complaints about it:
  • I was under the impression that all Lush bath bombs have bubbles. And I haven't had a bubble bath since I was ten years old. So I was kinda looking forward to that side of things. There weren't any bubbles, to say the least. But this is my own fault for not realising that, and the bath itself was still amazing.
  • This is going to sound really rude and horrid... But the colour it turned the bath? It looked like I'd peed in it. Once again, this didn't really change my opinion on the product and it was really good... But a bath is warm. So is pee. Really, it actually grossed me out a bit, because it felt like I was lying in a bath of my own piss.
However, I still really liked the bath! Neither of those things would stop me from buying it again (which I do think I'll be doing) and they're only minor problems. Now, let's get to the good side of this product:
  • The price! I really cannot afford some of the more expensive Lush stuff, mainly because... Well, when I get $5 every once in a blue moon, I'm not exactly going to rush to buy a 100ml shower gel for 10 bucks, am I right? But I really like that as well as having some more expensive products, they also have smaller bargains that others can afford as well.
  • The smell. Hands down, I love the smell. It smells like honey, obviously, but it also smells like so much more. It's BRILLIANT!! I don't even know how to describe it - kinda like honey mixed with a bit of spice? All I know is that you'll be finding every way possible to get into your bathroom the next day because it just smells so damn amazing!
  • It totally moisturises you. My skin was baby soft after this, and it was soooo soothing for me. It goes all the way through - Lush is no knockoff moisturiser! I was definitely very sleepy after this!
  • How many uses you can get out of it. I'm going to do a bit of maths now. So I think this will last me for 4 washes. 6.50 divided by 4 equals 1.15, or near that. And it does all of the above. I was really impressed by this side of things and it just makes me even more excited to try another bath bomb!
Overall, whilst the Honey Bee does have a few miniscule complaints from me, all around I was really impressed with this product. It does the job brilliantly, is extremely affordable, and has some major perks to it. This is a product I highly recommend! What are your favourite Lush products? Tell me in the comments below.

  1. Wow, this sounds really nice. I love your reviews - so honest & thorough! If your looking for bubbles, I'd recommend a bubble bar instead of a bath bomb xx

  5. Great post, here in England Honey Bee is £3.50 which makes it around the same price it is there (google conversions, oh you are useful). I've not tried this bath bomb from Lush but it looks really nice. My favourite lush scent is Rose Jam, particularly the bubble bar. I haven't been in there for a while becuase I find it quite expensive for bath bombs and would rather spend my money on clothes and that aha.

    2. Oh and also El, it's the bubble bars that create bubbles, not the bath bombs they just fizz and make your bath all slimy and sparkly and awesome. Just something to look out for.
