Which Came First?

   There is an everlasting discussion that inspired this final LUSH Easter product review... Which Came First? Bath Bomb was previously released under the name Immaculate Eggception, and although the previous name was a bit more fitting (if you ask me) - it still packs a wonderful punch on all fronts and rules the LUSH Cosmetics displays with its extra large size.

"Eggs Benedict come-be-hatched!"

    Which Came First? is such a large bath bomb that it can easily be used for three baths... All I had to do was tap my bomb on the edge of my tub one good time and it broke in half rather easily. The yellow chick design inside can be popped out/cut out with a knife (please do not put yourself in harms way).

   When I picked up Which Came First? the vanilla absolute was the immediate fragrance that was noticeable, but as it lingered in the air, sharper citrus notes of grapefruit made themselves known... As the outer shell quickly dissolved in a flurry of bright pink, yellow, and blue, the inner yellow egg sunk to the bottom of the tub and took its time dissolving.
   As the yolk disappeared, the bath water began to look like something I should be dipping eggs into for Easter - SO PLEASING TO THE EYE! Once dissolved, my tub was full of brilliant pink-orange water... I noticed a small bead at the bottom of the tub and picked it up. At first I thought it was plastic, but it began slowly dissolving as I held it in my wet palm. It smelled strongly of citrus (almost tangerine, which makes sense for mixing lemon and grapefruit with vanilla), so I tossed it back in the water to finish dissolving. Did anyone else notice this little ball, or was it a happy accident?
   My skin wasn't left with much, if any, fragrance from the bath but this sweet combination is one I was okay with leaving in the tub... Not that it wasn't lovely, but I don't think it would compliment me much throughout the day like previous LUSH Easter scents. I was left a tad bit softer than before my bath though, and I always chalk that up as a plus!

   Once again, I need to make sure I get my hands on a few more of these before they're gone from the sites/shops... I give Which Came First? Bath Bomb a 4.5/5 for its gorgeous scent, multi-bath use, and absolutely gorgeous color display while fizzing about in the water. It is a product that embodies the decoration of Easter eggs!
   I hope you have a wonderful spring that is packed full of flowers, baths, and bike rides my darlings - and a Happy Easter to those that celebrate it.

Golden Egg

   Do you like bath bombs? Do you like bath melts? Well then you're in luck this LUSH Easter because Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt is here to cover your entire spring in golden lustre and chocolaty goodness... What more could you want?!

"Good as gold."

   Although my Golden Egg arrived with minimal glitter on it - compared to those in store or what I saw in other online orders - this product was still something beautiful to behold... Fair trade Colombian cocoa butter and fair trade olive oil surrounds the internal bath bomb, forming a bath melt shell. Once it hit the water, all the loose glitter fell to the bottom of the tub (shown in the photo just above this paragraph). After a bit of melting, releasing an absolutely gorgeous caramel and chocolate aroma, the internal bath bomb began to slowly fizz; creating a spinning effect that helped the melt evenly distribute about the bath.

   Add into the mix toning and brightening effects of sweet, wild orange oil and uplifting bergamot, the room filled with... Well... A completely delicious scent that made me feel like I was indulging in a truly luxurious experience, but also ready for a box of assorted chocolate creams.

   Once completely dissolved, the water was a very bright, florescent yellow which was sort of surprising with how classically gold and creamy white Golden Egg is... On the surface of the water, small pools of what felt like olive oil floated about. Even with my sensitive skin, I was able to used the oil to shave my legs while in the bath - to me, that is a big deal.

    At the end of my bath, Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt left my skin extremely moisturized (without feeling gunky from such strong butters/oils) and scented like a soft caramel... Lastly, there wasn't any oil residue left in my tub, but there was an abundance of gold glitter - which I can only imagine the cleanup with a fully glittered Golden Egg... I give this LUSH Easter exclusive a 4/5, because the cleanup did take more time than with any other bath product I've used in the past from LUSH Cosmetics. Worth it though, and I'll be grabbing another one or two of these golden goodies before they're gone!

Humpty Dumpty

   Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
   Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
   All the kind's horses and all the king's men
   Couldn't put Humpty together again.
   So LUSH Cosmetics seems to have made a mold in his honor and created the wonderfully giant Humpty Dumpty Bath Bomb for this year's LUSH Easter range!

"Shell suits make a comeback."

   This cute bath bomb comes with his own bow tie, so he's clearly ready for Sunday dinner! As one of the softest bath bombs I've ever worked with, it was extremely easy to take a knife and cut it in half to reveal the fried egg design inside. A pro to this softness (and size) is the fact you can easily break/cut this product apart to get two-three baths out of it, and the con to the softness is that my Humpty Dumpty arrived pretty beat up (I ordered mine on the UK Easter release day). I think it evens itself out...
   For the size, it was a far quicker fizzing bomb than expected but the second it hit the water it began to release beautiful pastels of pink, blue, and yellow that really put me in the spirit of springtime - honestly this was one of the most aesthetically pleasing bath bombs to watch disappear into the water. As Humpty Dumpty dissolved more, a very milky, sky blue swirled and crawled through the water much like smoke in the air. Once completely gone, my bath water was left looking like tropical water - one of the most gorgeous shades of blue I've ever seen.
   Not so surprising, the Brazilian orange oil is what made me purchase this bath bomb over some others, but not even a day after placing my order I saw that its scent was in the Honey I Washed The Kids range - I was ecstatic! I think the toffee/honey/caramel scents of this range are a wonderful winter to spring transition fragrance, and the extra moisture usually gained from these products go along with that magical transition as well... After this bath my skin was wonderfully soft and gently kissed with a toffee-sweet scent. I used the last bit of my Vanilla Dee-Lite lotion after drying off and my goodness... I SMELLED SO GOOD! Even to the point of receiving a few compliments over the next few hours.

   I'm definitely rushing to my local shop to snag at least two or three more of these bow tied cuties! I give Humpty Dumpty Bath Bomb a 4.5/5 for its lovely color scheme, adorable design, multi-bath use, and fragrance... Make sure you pick him up before he's gone and fallen off the wall again!
