Lush Strawberries and Cream Bath Bomb

Strawberry is my favorite flavor of nearly everything. Strawberry ice-cream, strawberry yoghurt, strawberry shortcake, if it comes in strawberry, that is usually the flavor I'm going for. When I saw this bath bomb on the Lush site, I was so curious about it, I had to try it. I've used a few Strawberry bath and body things. I think my favorite was the Strawberry Body Butter from The Body Shop even though it smelled liked Strawberry mentos instead of fresh strawberry. I think Strawberry is just a hard scent to duplicate but I was excited to try Lush's version of it.

Lush claims: 

What could be better than bathing in a big bath full of strawberries and cream? Use whole, or twist in half to share with a loved one. Fruity strawberry powder freshens and tones, while the creamy filling in this sandwiched bath bomb melts, leaving behind deeply softening water. A touch of black pepper oil gives this bath bomb an edge and brings out its sweet berry scent.

I wouldn't say it reminds me of strawberry. If you gave it to me without telling me it was strawberry, I don't think I would have picked it. And I definitely don't pick up the cream either.  But it was very nice. It's more of a floral but a nice gentle floral. I'm terrible at describing scents but it was nice. Kind of forgettable. But I did like it.

They do claim you can get two uses out of it, but as the bomb is on the smaller side, I didn't want to end up disappointed and just used the whole bomb. I also didn't want to mess it up by twisting it in half. Using the whole thing was surprisingly strong. I expected I would barely be able to smell it but it filled up the whole bathroom and smelled great. I was hoping it would linger after I drained the water like some bombs but once it drained the smell was gone.

The strawberry itself is super cute. I've seen a slight variation in colors but I liked the one I got. It made a cool red pink bath water. 

I didn't notice this one lingering on my skin though.

And it didn't dry my skin...in fact my skin was kind of moisturized. It's supposed to have a moisturizing center but it felt more like bath bomb so I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. 

I love that Lush uses so many essential oils. I don't feel like I can pick up the scents of the oils, but I'm still glad they use them as well as Fair Trade Shea and Cocoa Butters.
