This year, Lush have put together a small but special St Patrick’s Day collection, with both products being inspired by the traditions and folklore of Ireland.
Today, I’m reviewing The Craic Bath Bomb. It is shaped like Ireland’s iconic Celtic harp – the inspiration behind it comes from the Irish word ‘craic,’ which means fun.
In Ireland, some of the best ‘craic’ happens in local pubs, where good drinks, lively music, and great company come together. This bath bomb is designed to capture the spirit of St Patrick’s Day, bringing the essence of a classic Irish celebration to your bathroom.
Weighing in at approximately 105g, it is about half the weight of the bestselling bath bomb Intergalactic.
Colour wise, The Craic bath bomb is golden on its outside. In many ways it is very similar to the, The Wizard bath bomb, it has the same golden foil-like coating and is a shade of emerald-green underneath.
The Craic bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: almond essential oil, vetivert oil, cedarwood oil, fair trade organic cinnamon powder, cedarwood powder and plenty of popping candy.
Its scent is from Lush’s Bûche De Noël scent family. It is an almond heavy fragrance, so very sweet. The cedarwood oil in it adds a layer of woodiness to the fragrance too making it a very relaxing and soothing fragrance.
As soon as the, The Craic bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of thin green foam, as it slowly dissolves golden flecks begin to break away from the bath bomb decorating the green foam with a golden shimmer.
The Craic bath bomb doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise BUT does put on quite the show, it doesn’t take long for the popping candy to make an appearance adding crackling sound to your bathing experience.
I’m not a huge fan of Lush’s Bûche De Noël scent family, but once The Craic bath bomb hit the water, its rich almond sweetness is softened down somewhat. The woody elements of its fragrance then became more prominent, and it was at this point that I realised how relaxed I was feeling in its waters…
It took approximately seven minutes for my, The Craic bath bomb to completely dissolve. The water left behind is a forest green that is decorated with shimmery golden flecks, the bath water is also silky smooth to the touch and incredibly hydrating on your skin.
Its scent didn’t really stick to my skin at all, but it did leave my skin feeling soft. Overall, I absolutely adored the, The Craic bath bomb, with it not being a scent I particularly like I was worried I wouldn’t like it, but I really enjoyed using it and am looking forward to what Lush come up with for St Patrick’s Day next year!
