Lush review: The Golden Wonder.

So seeing as I got an obscene amount of Lush products this year for Christmas (someone must have heard about my new obsession, likely everyone) and considering how baffling it was to a relative Lush newbie to choose some products to try, I decided to review everything I use :) I honestly don't know if this is something that will interest you or not, but frankly I don't much care as it's my blog so I'm writing it anyway :) If I can help introduce just one person to magic of Lush, then my job is complete. I would just like to take this moment to simultaneously thank and curse Zoella and Sprinkle of Glitter for introducing me to Lush, I am now forever poor.

I'd just like to say, I took a ridiculously unnecessary amount of pictures of what this bath bomb does, so I will just pop them all on the bottom. I'm sorry, I'm easily excited. I'd also like to add that they are pretty crappy as they were taken on my ancient iPhone. Perhaps if these posts get enough interest I will feel brave enough to take my proper DSLR in the bathroom to take some photos of the other products :)

Anyways, let's get started. Today's review is for the limited edition Christmas Golden Wonder bath bomb. Firstly, I'd like to say this was a very exciting bath bomb, it had a lot of action when I put in the bath and gave me a right little show before I dipped into the water. However, this does mean that it is not a fast bath product, definitely not a drop in and go. This fizzes around for a good long while seducing you into the steamy water. It makes the water feel really soft on your skin, I'm pretty sure it includes some kind of moisturiser as it felt like silk to touch and my skin was all smooth after. It turns the bath a really pretty turquoise colour, which is cool, but I found that the smell wasn't actually that strong which is a little disappointing. That may have just been me that couldn't smell it very well though! The best part is unlike my first Lush experience, this did not require me to scrub at the bath for an hour afterwards to remove all the colour, it just washes out with the water :)

**SPOILERS AHEAD** For those who do not like to know what their bath bomb is going to do in the water, do not read any further!

When you pop it in the bath, the first thing it does is fizz up and the white top goes soft like a melting marshmallow. It fizzes around for quite a while, leaving a trail of turquoise behind it. Then it burst open and 3 mini bath bombs came out that fizzed around and spread more colour, green blue and purple. Those fizz around for a while spreading colours until your bath is completely turquoise. Then you will start to notice little gold stars everywhere. Now these are particularly awesome because when I first saw these, I had visions of finding them all over myself and the bath for days to come. But the clever clogs at Lush had already thought of that. These starts very cleverly dissolve in the water, no cleaning required. You will also notice when you get in the water, only in the right light, you catch glimpses of glitter. Again, this is very clever, because it's not actual glitter that sticks to thing, your water simply...sparkles :) it's magical.

So, all over I think it's a winner, and not bad for £3.50. Sadly, these little gems are only available around Christmas, hence why I have a little stash in my drawer. If you get to your local store quick, they might still have some left!
