Hello! I tell ye what, one of the worst things about this unexpected heatwave/summer is not being able to enjoy a warm, bubbly LUSH bath (it’s just been beaten by sweat moustaches). It’s cooled down a little here which was all the excuse I needed to pull out one of my favourite LUSH treats from the stash – LUSH The Comforter Bubble Bar .
LUSH The Comforter Bubble Bar
£4.50 – LUSH
They say:
Sometimes you just need to shut yourself off from the outside world under a blanket of fruity foam that will put you back in the right frame of mind to face the world. This bar is supersized, so you’ll only need to crumble half a bar under your tap to make enough bubbles for a long, comforting soak. Cassis absolute gives a distinctive blackcurrant fragrance, while bergamot adds an uplifting note.
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Perfume, Titanium Dioxide, Bergamot Oil, Cassis Absolute, Cypress Oil, Limonene*, Linalool*, Colour 45410, Colour 17200. *occurs naturally in essential oils.
Vegan friendly.
I say:
The picture… oh I tried. I really did. I know it looks like one of those weird growths they cut out of people but appearances are deceptive; this bubble bar is a pure delight.
With bubble bars, you can’t just drop ’em in the bath and expect them to do all the work for you like the overeager bath bomb. With bubble bars, and especially with The Comforter, you need to crumble up the bar under a hot tap… or you can just crumble them into the bath when you’re done and swish the water to mix (like I do). Whilst you may think “this is a lot of effort!” I have some ways to make it fun.
1. Imagine you are The Hulk – HULK SMASH BUBBLE BAR, HULK LIKE BUBBLES.
2. Re-enact Season 4 Episode 8 of Game of Thrones… AND I’M NOT SAYING ANYTHING FURTHER.
… That’s it. My personal favourite is #2.
Your bath is transformed from a mundane, transparent bath of boredom to a pink, foamy hug in a bath. Oh I do love The Comforter! I say it all the time, but I do find it “comforting” when I’m feeling down or tired. It has a gorgeous blackcurrant-mixed-with-sweets smell that just envelops you into a state of relaxation. I don’t think “fruity” is a good description for this as I feel others will read “fruity” and automatically think of overpowering orange/apple smells when it isn’t. I would recommend The Comforter to anyone who needs some “me time” and just wants to forget about the world for a hour (or two). What I also love about The Comforter is that it has just the right amount of oil to make my skin feel soft, but not too much that I feel like a Saturday night kebab, or too little that I feel well… like the mouth of someone who went out on Saturday! This will be something I will always repurchase from LUSH.
Have you tried The Comforter?
