Green Bubbleroon

Green Bubbleroon is aptly named, given that it is presented in a beautiful, bright, summery green colour. Described by Lush as a 'fresh summer meadow', this is product that I wish I had tried during the summer months, but that's not to say I can't enjoy this in slightly colder weather. 

As Lush have stated themselves, their bubbleroons aren't as generous with their bubbles as bubble bars are, but what they lack in performance, they more than make up for in other ways. Both the Rose Jam and Yuzu & Cocoa bubbleroons, alongside Green, contain extra-softening ingredients that give silky-soft water to hydrate your skin. All three of these products are made using bergamot and lime oil; two ingredients that give off a subtle citrus scent, and juniperberry; a refreshing and very clean aroma that aids stimulation of the mind and body. 

I will admit that I'm fairly greedy when it comes to my Lush products so I tend to use a whole 'roon at a time. However, for those with a more conservative bank balance, this bubble bar is great value for money as you can break it in half and use it at two separate occasions. What makes bubbleroons so useful, is that their design makes it incredibly easy to break in half, without having to use a chainsaw like you do with some of the other bubble bars.

As you can see in my video, I like to hold my bubble bars underneath the running water and let it work it's magic. I find that this is more effective than crumbling them in the water, although there are others that would say the opposite. What I do know is that you definitely don't have to use the whole bubble bar in one go - half is more than suffice to create a beautiful bubble-filled tub to indulge yourself in. 

Upon holding Green under the water, my bath was very quickly full of beautiful, velvety bubbles. I did notice that there weren't as many as when I used my other two bubbleroons, but this wasn't a major concern for me. The product turned the water a beautiful pastel green colour, which remained vivid throughout my entire bathing experience.

What I did appreciate was the beautiful uplifting scent that greeted my senses; a wonderful sweet but fresh aroma - the lime oil is definitely at the forefront of this fragrance. To me, it smelt of freshly cut grass with a slight sour citrus tone, and I can imagine it working beautifully well with Grass Shower Gel. The scent wasn't an overpowering one at all, so would suit consumers who want something light and fruity to enjoy, without it being too overwhelming. Furthermore, my skin felt really nourished afterwards, due to Lush enriching this bubbleroon with coconut oil and shea butter.

Overall, Green Bubbleroon is a lovely addition to Lush's range, and one that I want to experience again. Having used this in colder times, I would definitely recommend that you try this when the weather is a lot warmer,  as I can imagine it would compliment the summery smells well. This would work well alongside Avobath; a bath cocktail I'm excited to try out very soon.
