The Fizzbanger Bath Bomb has long been one of my favourite Lush bath bombs, at the time of writing this review it is a part of the all-year-round range. If it was ever discontinued, I’d be a very sad Lushie…
The Fizzbanger bath bomb was inspired by the Roald Dahl book, The BFG. Growing up the BFG was one of my favourite books and Roald Dahl to this day is one of my favourite authors, even as an adult I love to go back and read his work.
Funnily enough, I associate a lot of Lush things with Roald Dahl; for example, the Lush Factory is right up there with Willy Wonker’s Chocolate Factory as one of my dream destinations.
The Fizzbanger bath bomb is the standard shaped Lush bath bomb and is bright yellow. Upon first sight the Fizzbanger bath bomb is quite plain in comparison to the other staple Lush bath bombs BUT looks can be deceiving…
Looking at the Fizzbanger bath bomb surrounded by all the other Lush bath bombs such as Frozen and Guardian of the Forest it is easy to see why it could be overlooked. Other bath bombs are much more heavily decorated whereas the Fizzbanger is all round with only one visible colour.
It is not until you place the Fizzbanger bath bomb into your bath water that you see and smell its true potential. It is described on Lush’s website as ‘a Catherine wheel of a bath bomb’ and that’s exactly what it is!
The Fizzbanger bath bomb contains popping candy, cinnamon leaf oil, petitgrain oil, ylang ylang oil and oak moss extract.
Created to have individual scented layers, the Fizzbanger is a feast for your nose as well as your skin. A lot of people wrongly assume that the Fizzbanger is lemon scented because of its colour, the scent is however more like an apple pie sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Delicious!
At first the Fizzbanger bath bomb creates a mound of yellow foam. Once the yellow, foamy explosion spreads itself around the bath a fleck of the Fizzbangers hidden blue interior makes an appearance.
Once the yellow, foam explosion begins to spread itself out a fleck of Fizzbanger’s blue interior makes an appearance. It slowly spins around the water creating blue and yellow lines until the very-middle of the bath bomb reveals itself. Inside is a paper-cut-out BANG surprise, similar to the hidden paper-insert found in the Blackberry bath bomb.
The bath art created by the Fizzbanger bath bomb is INCREDIBLE. The photos in this blog review do the bath bomb no justice at all. It doesn’t take very long after the paper insert makes an appearance for the popping candy to start crackling away.
Petitgrain oil (the supposed primary citrus scent that I think is completely masked by the cinnamon and baked apple scent in Fizzbanger) makes Fizzbanger a good choice of a bath partner if you’re in need of a pick-me-up.
Petitgrain oil is often used within aromatherapy becauseof its calming properties, it known to help reduce the feeling of anxiety and put alongside ylang ylang and cinnamon leaf oil makes the Fizzbanger bath bomb a truly joyful and relaxing bath time treat.
As the blue interior begins to show, the Fizzbanger bath bomb starts to spin making the most beautiful swirly blue and yellow patterns. It moves so quickly, it’s almost impossible to get a clear shot of.
At the end you are left with yellow and blue bubbles sitting on the surface of your bath water. Underneath is the most striking, electric green water, infused with skin softening essential oils that are relaxing for mind, body and soul.
I prefer to use a Fizzbanger bath bomb during the day/in the morning as I find it really awakens my senses if I’ve had a restless night before hand.
I was actually trolled by somebody a couple of years ago on Facebook when I mentioned that Fizzbanger was a good day time bath bomb. What a thing to troll someone about? It just goes to show that not everyone knows the benefits of each essential oil! If every bath bomb ingredient made you sleepy, they wouldn’t be nearly as interesting to use.
Apparently, I need to do more ‘productive things’ with my day other than ‘just bathing’. (Sorry I’m sat here laughing at the thought of me spending all day, every day in the bath… I’m clearly living the dream! and I’m not very wrinkly? maybe I’m part fish or a mermaid?
I have 2 incredibly painful medical conditions that have left me disabled, bathing in hot water helps ease this pain, without this pain relief productiveness of any kind wouldn’t exist in any part of my day (and I would have never found Lush!)
Let’s end this review with a message, if you feel the urge to write a nasty message to a stranger on the internet maybe try this bath bomb instead? 😊
Lush baths have helped me no end, if I need a boost to get through the rest of the day Fizzbanger is my go-to bath bomb.
Its scent is delicious and as for the visual theatrics of it while it fizzles away (popping candy too) it couldn’t be any more spectacular!
