Deep Sleep Bath Bomb

If anybody found out how excited I was when I first discovered that Lush were releasing a couple of bath bombs wrapped in muslin, I'd probably be committed to a life behind bars. Truth be told, anything that reminds me of my early days of collecting Lush always sends a spark of excitement through me, like a child discovering something magical for the first time. There is something very 90's about this bath bomb, and while there are many things that should remain in that era, muslin-wrapped bath bombs are not one of them. 

As its name suggests, Deep Sleep Bath Bomb offers the same wonderfully calming aroma as the shower jelly format, and if anything it replicates this jelly down to an art form. In fact, there are very few products that I can honestly say do as well at this bath bomb does at smelling like its older sibling.

What I will say about this bath bomb is that there probably isn't a better product available on the Lush website right now to use before you head to bed. Containing a generous helping of both lavender and chamomile, this bath bomb will send you to sleep within a matter of minutes, and hopefully a Deep Sleep at that.

Featuring lavender flowers, lavender oil and lavender absolute, this bath bomb has a strong and very herbal-smelling aroma: one that is beautifully sweet but very much as natural as a lavender smell can be. These components are then coupled with both chamomile flowers and chamomile oil, to create a thick, rather potent-smelling aromatic bath bomb that should send you to sleep within minutes.

Although they don't share the same aroma, this bath bomb is closer in scent to Lush's Angels On Bare Skin Facial Cleanser than it is to the likes of Twilight. There is nothing here that suggests human interventional all: it very much feels like the company have simply filled a bag of freshly harvested lavender and chamomile and presented it as a bath bomb.

What makes Deep Sleep so wonderful is that as soon as it's been placed in the water, the bath bomb begins to make a beautiful, comforting fizzing sound, which only serves to make the whole experience even more relaxing and far  calming than perhaps any other bath bomb that Lush have created. 

At the same time, the bath bomb floats across the surface of the water and sends out waves of deep purple colour that soon turn the whole tub into a beautiful spectacle of colour. As if that wasn't enough already, the scent then remains with you throughout your whole experience, and lingers on your hair and skin afterwards - only serving to make your bedtime experience even more blissful.

Aside from acting as a throwback to Lush's original bath bomb designs, the purpose of the muslin wrap is to keep all of the lavender and chamomile flowers contained so that you don't have a mess to contend with after your bath. However, you have the option of removing this and allowing the flowers to decorate the water if you choose to. 

Ultimately, this has now become a staple in my household, and I plan on using this every time I know that I have a big day ahead of me. Popping a Deep Sleep in the bath guarantees that I'll have a great night's rest, and I am so incredibly thankful to Lush for making this beauty available.
