Splash Bath Bomb

One of the problems with releasing over 50 baths bombs at the time is that it often confuses consumers about where they should start; what products should take precedence over others; and which should be avoided at all costs. There is also the issue of some products being overlooked or forgotten about, which is what happened with this particular bath bomb.

Having almost completely worked through my extra large box of bath bombs, I decided that I was going to transfer the remaining bombs into a smaller container. It wasn't until I was emptying my package peanuts down the sink that the Splash Bath Bomb fell out and ironically made quite a splash (mess) all over the floor. Needless to say, I probably wouldn't have noticed that this one was missing from my collection for a while, especially given the many more bath bombs that I have coming my way right now. 

Sharing its scent with the beautiful Superworld Unknown Liquid Perfume, Splash is hardly one of the most interesting bath bombs to look at. Featuring a blue 'splash' on the surface, this looks more like a bath bomb designed to impress and excite younger children. However, as someone in their early 30's, I can officially vouch that this exclusive product will appeal to those a little older as well.

What I will say that this bath bomb isn't as strong as the aforementioned liquid perfume is. In fact, it took me a while to recognise and make that connection BECAUSE of how gentle this bath bomb is to my nose. The scent of this is more like the perfume after it's been on the skin for a while, and has started to gently disperse.

Featuring lime, neroli and elemi oils, Splash Bath Bomb offers a delicate and very pretty combination of lime and floral notes. Fans of fragrances such as the Christmas Eve Bubble Bar will appreciate just how sweet and gentle the scent of this is, and lime oil just adds an echo of fruitiness as the backdrop of the aroma.

Many Lush fans have actually assumed that this bath bomb shares the same fragrance as the Frozen Bath Bomb, and I an definitely why the ingredients list might suggest this to begin with. However, I found Splash to be quieter in scent and didn't obviously have the heavy thread of either rose or orange blossom that featured in the discontinued bomb.

I'll be honest and say that it's not really a fragrance that inspires a strong reaction from myself; not because it isn't lovely but because it's exactly just that: lovely. It doesn't offer scent that will blow you away; nor one that you'll want to use time and time again. Again, it offers a pretty aroma that you'll enjoy very much but perhaps forget about soon after. Of course this is just my opinion. 

Having said that, the best feature of Splash Bath Bomb is definitely the colour that it turns the water once its dissolved. If you've ever dreamed of bathing in a shade of aquamarine that reflects the light of the bathroom and leaves you thinking you're a mermaid swimming in the Caribbean Sea, you'll definitely want to try this one out for size. 

In addition, I also found that Splash was wonderfully moisturising on my skin, which I assumed would be the case as I could see a light glaze of oils on the surface before I stepped into the tub. Furthermore, the fragrance remained we me throughout my whole bathing experience, and I was able to detect gentle remnants of the scent afterwards, on my hair.

Overall, this is a really lovely bath bomb and one that will appeal to those who don't enjoy aromas that are too heavy or overbearing. If you're looking for something simple, but one that is going to make a real Splash in your water, this bath bomb may be one you'll need to try out for size.
