Advantages: Smells yummy, lots of bubbles and pink water.

Disadvantages: Might make you crave sweeties.

This is one of the more visually striking Lush bars - it's a slab of fuschia and white swirls - rather like a giant piece of Blackpool rock. (If you've ever seen their "Blue skies and fluffy white clouds" bars that have been around forever, this is the pink version.)

The scents is one of the most vividly sugary ones in the shop, and that is saying something! It is delicious - like boiled sweets, and bubblegum, and PINKNESS. There may be some blackcurrant in there, but it is definitely sugar coated. I have read that this scent was inspired by Ribena - and as hot Ribena is my ultimate comfort drink, this bubble bar really does live up to its name.

This felt very slippery / slimy in my hands as I crumbled it into the water, and it frothed up a treat. The bath water was also changed into an attractive bright pink. I only used about a quarter of the bar, so I imagine if you were the extravagant type and used the whole thing at once, you would get lost in the mounds of bubbles and your bath water would be neon.

As the scent unfolded, I detected a faint whiff of plastic - as I inhaled deeply, I was suddenly reminded of my old Sindy dolls - in a good way! (I'd like to know if I'm the only one who gets this, because I mentioned it to my friend when we were in the Lush shop, and she thought I was crazy...)

All in all, I'd say this is one of my favourite bubble bars from Lush - just right for when you want a nice hot bath after a tiring day!

Price listing: £3.87, but this may vary depending on the size of your bar.

Summary: Introduce this to your Lush hating friends - it could be a turning point!
