Hey lovelies! Today I am going to tell you what I thought of Lush's Love Locket Bath Bomb! This is the third and last Valentine's product I'll be reviewing - but if you missed the last two reviews you can check them out here (floating flower) and here (unicorn horn). I have to say that I was really reluctant to buy this (even though I love Lush) because 1) I'm single and heartbroken (so a bit bitter about Valentine's) and 2) the price - £6.95! But I still ended up buying it anyway - because I was too curious not to.
What I really love about this bath bomb is the concept. The bath bomb is a 'locket' with the surprise of another bath bomb hidden inside that you can reveal by breaking the bomb in two. In reality though, breaking open this bath bomb was really hard to do. I ended up breaking it open with a blunt metal object (that really makes me sound like some sort of bath bomb murderer) and eventually opening it but it took forever. For some reason I'd thought it would just break open effortlessly, how wrong was I? Inside the bath bomb is a cute little heart but I was a bit disappointed it wasn't more exciting - like a deeper red colour or a yellow. You can in theory use this bath bomb for three baths, but I ended up throwing it all into one bath, starting with the heart in the middle.
I'm a bit on the fence about what I think about this bath bomb. It turns your bath a pretty pink/red colour with cute little confetti hearts and a lovely sweet fragrance. However, I felt like I really wanted more of a surprise from this one, like with Golden Wonder, but was left feeling disappointed when I got exactly what I expected. That said if you're looking to have a cute romantic bath with your S.O or your own single pamper night - this is probably perfect. I just feel like there should have been a bit more of a surprise - as that's what I really love about Lush.
The verdict? I do love the concept of this and the scent (it smells like sherbet to me) but I felt like I wanted more from it considering the price, even if you can split it into three baths! That said, if you want a lovely simple, pretty bath this Valentine's then this is perfect!
Thank you for reading lovelies! Did you buy any of Lush's Valentine's Day Collection? Let me know in the comment section below!

It is :)
DeleteI didn't buy any of Lush's Valentines products, I sort of wish I did but at the same time I don't feel like I'm missing out tooo much. That said I would probably love the smell of everything if I wasn't trying to ban myself from going in there!

Haha, I want to keep myself away (because it's so expensive) but I always find myself drawn in by the new products!
DeleteI think I've still got this in my stash since last Valentine's Day! (I can't remember using it but I know I brought it haha!). It looks really pretty xx

Delete£6 is a lot! Looks lovely for a romantic bath xxx

Yeah it really is!
DeleteLMAO @ bath bomb murderer! That really got me laughing out loud! As you know I am still not 100% sold about Lush bath bombs yet but maybe because I am old and have to clean the darn bathtub afterwards. Now if my husband was the one cleaning it....maybe I'll love it even more? LOL!

Haha I think I'm technically a Bath Bomb serial killer LOL. Yeah it's annoying how some leave a mark on the tub! The ones that are the worse are the ones with flower petals - cleaning those up are a nightmare!
DeleteOhhh Lush bath bombs are the best! Always so much fun watching how the water color changes!:)

Perfect Imperfections
Yeah it is pretty massive!
DeleteI love the fact that this has another bath bomb inside! It's a shame that it was so hard to break though! This is quite expensive but I think it looks like another great Lush product :) x
ReplyDeleteBeyond The Velvet | Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle Blog
Yeah it was so hard to break, got worried I wouldn't be able to do it!
DeleteAhh this looks like the cutest thing ever! Xx
ReplyDeleteIt is super cute :)
DeleteI really wanted to get this, but my local Lush sold out of it almost as soon as they got it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice though :)
Rambling Makeup
Yeah it was lovely :)
DeleteI don’t have this one :( I am going to have to go get it now after this review. Lovely pics & the sherbet scent sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteHayley @ Tea Party Beauty

Me too!
DeleteThis is so cute, a little pricey but worth it anyway. I haven't had a lush bath bomb in ages!

Yeah it is so pricey!
DeleteI don't think we have Lush here :( but that looks like something I'd definitely want to try out. I don't take baths that often but I'd use to for special occasions/cosy nights in.
ReplyDeletexo naomiinwonderland.com
Oh that's such a shame, Lush is such a nice place to go to!
DeleteThat's the main reason I didn't get this cause it's too expensive for what it is really!
ReplyDeleteEllen,
http://fishnetsxd.blogspot.ie
Yeah it really is, I was so reluctant to buy it!
DeleteI haven't used a lush bath bomb in years, this looks good though! I agree with you though very pricey for a bath product! xx
ReplyDelete☾ Liquorice Pearls ☾
Definitely much more than I'd usually pay!
DeleteI've not had a bath bomb in ages either, and I'm absolutely SHOCKED at that price. Still, the concept is kind of neat, and the little confetti hearts ARE adorable... I am sure I'll continue to empty my wallet into LUSH's pocket in years to come....
ReplyDeleteOwl Girl | A London lifestyle blog
Yeah, the price is really too much! But it is a lovely idea and I just had to try it!
Deleteive never tried this one before but i always hear great things about it, shame its only here for valentines though :( x x
ReplyDeletehttp://millieerosee.blogspot.co.uk/
Yeah, probably not being sold now, although there may be some left over!
DeleteI haven't bought any of the Lush valentines products this year, but I'm pleasantly surprised by this one! I thought it would be a tad plain and boring, but it looks amazing! And I would never of guessed about having another bath bomb inside, I would of just ended up chucking the whole thing in haha.
ReplyDeletethattypicalgurl.blogspot.com
Haha, I kind of wish I'd just thrown the whole thing in, took so long to open!
DeleteI just bought this last week and have still to try it. Even though it's a bit on the pricey side I loved the concept so thought i'd give it a go. Shame you weren't super impressed though!
