Disadvantages: None

Now go on admit it... you have missed me and my Lush reviews? Go on admit it.....

My favourite Lush products have to be these lovely colourful Bubble Bar Slices. Why? Because I love lots of bubbles in my hot bath and that is exactly what I get with this product and what’s more this one is my favourite colour - PINK.

This particular Lush Bubble Bar Slice called 'The Comforter'. A Bubble Bar slice is in essence very similar to a Lush Bath Ballistic except the slice is a slice, reminds me of a Swiss Roll and not ball shaped. Each Bath Bubble Slice is individually hand moulded and cut and with all their products using fresh ingredients and preserves.

What drew me to this particular product? Well the fact that I love the colour pink firstly and because pink bath water excites me, sad I know and because it smells absolutely divine and when I was on The Kings Road I couldn't resist going in for a look...that look turned into me buying a fair few products!

Anyway this Bubble Bar Slice is bright pink in colour with a white spiral throughout the middle, again like a Swiss Roll and it retails from Lush for the bargain price of £3.25 per 200g, it is worth bearing in mind that most Bubble Bar Slices are only 100g and usually retail for around £2.

There is nothing quite like a nice hot bath to relax into after a hard days graft at the office (I am still at work and will be until quite late tonight) or a menacing days cleaning. For me, Lush do it every time - make me relax that is!

When using this product it is suggested by Lush suggest you crumble the bubble bar slice under a running tap water, so like an excited child I got my pink 'Comforter' and did just as I was told to do. So once the tap is running at a nice warm temperature or in my case really warm because I like hot steamy baths, you simply get your Bubble Bar and start to crumble it into the water. You can actually break the bar into two pieces and have double the pleasure.

I did find that once this product had been held under the running tap for ten seconds it crumbles with ease. When I began to crumble it, the first thing I noticed was that it felt like wet sand in my hands, which simply slipped through my fingers into the hot water below. Once you have crumbled your bar into the warm water any larger blobs begin to fizz away on their own, and I still find it totally fascinating to watch as my clear bath water instantly turned into a bright pink colour. The fizzing is due to the fact the main ingredient in all Bubble Bar Slices is Sodium Bicarbonate.

Once the Bubble Bath Slice was nicely crumbled I was ready to get into my bubble filled bath. The Comforter does give off a divine Blackberry smell that I was promised I would get, which filled the bathroom, like with most products, I always smell it before I buy it or use it just to ensure that I will actually like it and as this smelt so delicious, almost good enough to eat I couldn't wait to get into my bath. For the ingredients, please visit the Lush Website.

I did mention earlier that when you crumble this product it felt like wet sand, surprisingly there was not one grainy piece of Bubble slice lurking on the bottom, it had completely dissolved. One other thing I also noticed was that the smell lingered for a good few hours after my bath, and the wonderful aroma filled the house beautifully.

Now you can always have double the pleasure with this product by breaking it in half so you can use it in two baths. I did this and it still produced copious amounts of bubbles.

My skin was left feeling totally moisturised after my lovely Comforter Lush bath, it was a lot softer than it would have been after using my usual Sanex or Carex bath creams. I also have extremely sensitive skin and often find that I am limited in which products I can use, for example I am allergic to The Body Shop shower creams and gels, but with Lush I haven't had any problems whatsoever, so that means I can now become a Lush addict and try everything.

So would I recommend this product? I absolutely would without a shadow of a doubt. As someone who is new to Lush products but has read a lot about them I can see why people are addicted to them and swear buy them. Also as someone with super sensitive skin I would also suggest their products, but I would advise you to go onto their website and check the ingredients used, they are listed under each product so it is easy to find out. I’ve already been on the Lush website to decide what to try next after my birthday package runs out so watch this space…

**Extra Information**

Lush packaging on single objects is relatively simple, they are wrapped tightly in some see-through packaging and upon opening, the first thing you notice is the smell

If anyone wants to investigate Lush further to see what ingredients are used for this or any other products then you simply go to www.lush.co.uk which will give you the UK version of their website.

Lush products are not tested on animals, in fact they are vehemently against products being tested on animals and to test their own products they do tests on humans to ensure they are safe for general sale to the public and they will not buy ingredients from companies who use testing on animals as one of their protocols.

Lush first officially launched their products in 1995, although they had been around for many years previous and their name was decided upon in a competition after many years of working under the name 'Cosmetics to go' as a mail order company and so to Poole in Dorset the firm grew and became globally known. The one thing that I found really interesting when I read up about Lush as a company is that in most of their products they use real Jasmine Absolute Perfume, which I am told it is more expensive than gold, yet Lush products are sold at affordable prices so that the everyday person can treat themselves to such luxuries.
