Advantages: moisturising, leaves tiny gold sparkles on the skin, smells very fresh and clean

Disadvantages: none

These bubble bars are available from Lush for £3.15 a piece. They're the ones covered in gold glitter and smell very fresh and quite citrusy. I usually go for the sweeter scents like vanilla and coconut but this one looked very intriguing, especially since I needed something citrusy and refreshing to take with me on my holiday.

The bubble bar is very sparkly and pretty and was easy to break into pieces and crumble under the running bath water. The girl at Lush also demonstrated to me that underneath all the bubbles, you can see the water turn into a silken spun gold colour where the glitters and the golden oils mix into a very beautiful soft golden bath.

This bar produces a mountain of bubbles and the bubbles are very sturdy and won't just melt away, mine have lasted me for well over an hour. The scent is very soft and refreshing. It's quite fruity but very light and pleasant. The oils in this bubble bar make the water turn into silk and feels so smooth and soft on the skin. I could just bathe in it for hours.

The ingredients of this bubble bar according to the Lush website are: Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Golden Lustre Sparkle, Lauryl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus Aurantium dulcis), Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Tangerine Oil (Citrus reticulata), *Citral, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Perfume, Red Golden Glitter (Polyethylene terephthalate).

When I got out of the bath, I noticed that my skin was significantly softer and smoother feeling and there was a hint of gold sparkle left on my skin, which was ideal as I was going out that evening.

I didn't feel the need to apply any additional moisturizer and I'll definitely be buying this one again. A little goes a long way and I've managed to get 4 baths from just one bar, which I find very impressive.

Summary: lovely silky golden bath
