Banging Fizzbanger!


Fizzbanger Bathbomb Review 


Hello my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good summer. Today I am here to review this gorgeous bathbomb above from no other shop, but Lush! For my birthday my friend gave me the 'Happy Bathday' set and it's got some really wonderful smelling products in and Fizzbanger happened to be one of them. I've been meaning to use the products for ages and finally last night I used this one and decided to review for you today. 


Lush Description:

A Catherine wheel of a bath bomb. It changes colour as it fizzes, crackling with popping candy as it goes and releasing first a citrussy apple and then a cinnamon, apple pie like scent with a hint of ylang ylang. Petitgrain is used in aromatherapy to calm the breathing, slow the heartbeat and reduce feelings of anxiety. Ylang ylang produces a feeling of joy, and cinnamon leaf oil helps you let go.

All of these ingredients create this wonderful bathbomb. I wasn't really sure what to expect from this bathbomb. But it had a really lovely fresh citrus aroma that wasn't too overpowering. 

When it started to fizz away it was a burst of pastel lemon yellow colour which was so interesting because it look a lot brighter in the bomb and became pure pastel yellow which I have some more photos of. Also, the smell as it started to fizz away was amazing. The citrus scent got stronger but not over powering and it just made you want to breath it all in and relax. 
















It let out this little piece
of paper that said
 'BANG'
which I thought was
a really lovely touch
After all the yellow had dispersed this gorgeous pastel blue popped out of the bathbomb and it began to create this really pretty tropical lime green water. I became fascinated by the colours this bomb was creating because I just didn't expect it to be as amazing as it turned out to be. 



You can see how incredible it looks from these photos. It only had blue and yellow swirling around in my bath but I couldn't take my eyes off the patterns and the jade green sea colour it was creating because it was absolutely beautiful. 


At this point I couldn't believe what I was watching because it kind of became almost like a blue and yellow galaxy. I honestly thought it was so beautiful, this is bath bomb is up on my list of the ones that have surprised me the most, such as Dragon's Egg (which is one of my favourites) because I really wasn't expecting it to do any of this. I honestly just sat and watched it create this really beautiful galaxy representation instead of actually getting in the bath because I thought it was really wonderful. 


Just look how incredible those  swirls are in this photo. I thought at this point the yellow bomb that was still fizzing away looked like the sun because of the small yellow lines that were whisping around it. I just love the swirly pattern and I didn't want it to end. 

Also at this point also the smell of citrus really was fragmenting all the way through the bathroom.  




Eventually when it all fizzed away the water when this gorgeous jade green and I honestly felt like I was bathing in a tropical sea and I was in the Bahamas or something. All I needed was a cocktail in a coconut and it would've been perfection. 

But getting back to the reality that I was still in my bathroom, I really loved this bathbomb. I really liked the citrus smell because it was really fresh to make you feel relaxed and then when I got out of the bath I felt much more awake because all of my senses had taken in the beautiful smell. 

Another thing I really loved, it did actually pop and bang like it's name which is always pleasing. It also made my skin nice and soft and smell really fresh. 

Finally, something vital, even when it all fizzed away the citrus smell still lingered and lasted even when the water was just green. As sometimes, some of the scents from Lush smell great when it's fizzing away and then when it stops all the smell goes away like you never used a bathbomb. But this one lasted more than 30 minutes which was when I actually got in the bath. I was only in there for half an hour but I'm sure the smell would've lasted a bit more if I'd have properly laid in there for an hour or so. 

Overall, I think this bathbomb is for all ages and all genders because I can see it being the boost you need if you've had a bad day or if you need to wake yourself up a bit. 

I absolutely loved this bathbomb and I think it is my new favourite. The colours combined created something really beautiful and different from what I normally use. The smell was amazing and it just enlightened my mind and senses. I will definitely be buying it again very soon!
