Smelly Sunday | Smaug the Golden

Hey guys, for today's Smelly Sunday I have one of Lush's Bath Ballistics. I have the Dragon's Egg Bath Ballistic (hence the very Hobbit inspired title) which I was gifted very kindly for my birthday! I don't often take baths, maybe 3 times a year? As relaxing as they are, I find it much easier and time efficient to shower. In the winter time though, I love taking nice, hot and long baths and throwing in a bath bomb (or two!) along with other bath time pampers I don't usually get to use.




Usually I cut my larger bath bombs in half, but I decided, what the heck! Let's throw this mother in! Haha, it is described as 'Bath tub fireworks. Fizz. Froth. Fruity Fragrance - what more could you ask for?'. The scent on this one is overall quite citrus-y containing Lemon oil but also Bergamot oil which is a lovely addition. I really liked the smell of this, it smelt quite like sherbet with that 'fizzy' aspect. However, the smell was not as potent in the bath tub. For me, I honestly couldn't smell much. I don't know if it's just my bath bomb or nose, but I didn't experience the lovely aroma :( .

Onto the fun pics of it in the tub!









It took around 5 or so minutes to dissolve and it was quite fun to watch! The main colour emitted from this ballistic is an orangey golden shade which in theory looks very pretty. But! Once the bubbles and froth subside...well it looks like someone had a bit of an accident, or they are bathing in beer! So, the colour is not that appetising for the bath! Within the froth and such were tiny gold glitters which were quite fun but the bath had to have a bit of a rinse afterwards. The ballistic left the water feeling almost a bit creamy and moisturising the skin. The bubbles and orange foam did dissapate quite quickly though, leaving the afforementioned *ahem* pee colour. Like I said, I didn't detect much fragrance during and it didn't leave a scent on the skin.

To be quite honest, bath bombs don't excite me too much. I wouldn't purchase this (not that I really buy bath products anyways) but I would rather a bubble bar or bath melt next time! I did have a wonderful experience in the bath though. See you again next Winter, bath!

What are your favourite Lush bath ballistics/bubble bar/melt/etc?

  1. That looks so cool! I can't remember the last time I took a bath- showers are just quicker and easier. Lush have some great products- I went in with a friend and was surprised at the range of bath stuff.
