(The scene: It was a dark and stormy night. Calypte - unused to having a fully working computer again - decided to indulge in one of her other favourite hobbies: reading in the bath. Alas, she seems to have forgotten how to write book reviews, so here's (another!) one about the bath product!) Lush have - yes, in October! - released their Christmas range for 2008. Usually I disapprove heartily of festivities starting so early, but heck - there's a lot to get through, so I'm grateful for the 3-month run up! Besides, the Magic ballistic isn't particularly festive (perhaps a little more Halloween-themed, perhaps?), which made me feel okay about giving it a ...  Read the complete review

As well as releasing a new limited edition Christmas range in 2010, Lush also released a number of Retro Christmas items - these were products that had been out before but were no longer available as part of the main range. Retro Christmas products were only available to order on the Lush website, and I picked up one of each while sale shopping just after the festive season. Most of the Retro Christmas products were bath products. There were a couple of bubble bars, which crumble into the bath to produce mounds of bubbles, and a few bath ballistics. Ballistics are a bit different - you drop them into a run bath and watch as they fizz, releasing scent, colour ...  Read the complete review

This ballistic from Lush is called Magic and is not your usual looking Lush ballistic. instead of being shaped like a ball, this ballistic is a sort of 3d hexagon shape. It is a nice change. It is brightly coloured in a turquiose blue and is without a doubt one of the nicest ballistics I have ever had from Lush. Be aware though that this ballistic is from the Christmas 2008 range and was limited to that year though it did make a come back on Lush's Christmas Retro range which is only available only or via mail order. After chucking the ballistic in the bath, I watched it fizz and twirl in the water, spreading the lovely blue colour through my water. The water ...  Read the complete review

Well its that time of year again when Lush have the grab bags for sale....I have excitedly waited for these days for a month or so after falling in love with Lush products over Christmas and being told about the massive offer Lush have after Christmas to get rid of the excess Christmas stock. I managed to but a grab bag yesterday which consists of over £50 worth of lush Christmas products for the amazing price of £15. I couldn't wait to get the bag home to have a peak. One of the products included was the Lush Magic Bath Ballistic. I actually got two of these. I decided to use one of them tonight so I ran my bath and placed the ballistic in the bath. I am ...  Read the complete review

Lush... the world of all magical and magnificent bath secrets. This Bath Ballistic is like the bunny out of the hat...the star of the show! I have always loved Lush bath ballistics. Balls of powder which slowly explode in the bath. A bit like dissolving bath oil. Fascinating for first timers, and exhilarating for old timers. This one is named Magic, for the reasons I am about to explain the name fits very well. **The Magic Bath Ballistic** Well, to be honest, the name does not really give it away. Magic... that could mean anything! Which in my opinion is brilliant. I love a surprise. What you do is plonk the ballistic in a pre-run bath (this is so ...  Read the complete review
