Street Party Bath Bomb

This one is my weekly review of a cosmetic. It's a Lush bath bomb called Street Party.

HOW LUSH DESCRIBES ITS:
"Some celebrations need to be taken to the streets – New Year's, birthdays, sports finals and national holidays with all the requisite noise makers, streamers, and dancing. For the ones where your first inclination is to strip down, head to the tub with Street Party. You'll have your ticker tape and glitter in all its glory, and soak in the decadent scent of a champagne cocktail all while avoiding citations from law enforcement. Have a Street Party while you can, it's only visiting for a limited time"

HOW I DESCRIBE IT:
This is one of the limited time bath bombs meant for the Olympics (so I think). It's a good sized bath bomb with red, white, and blue glitter (round & stars) with an American flag. It has a champagne scent, which I didn't think would be appealing but it really is. Price wise it is one of the cheaper ones. I bought 2 and the first one I used I filled up the bath tub got in & then put it into the water. It was a slow fizz and the entire bath began to smell like that beautiful champagne scent. Also, it was pretty watching all the little glitter coming out into the water.

THINGS I LEARNED WITH THIS PRODUCT:
It wasn't this exact product. I have found, however, that with most of the bath bombs if you have a jacuzzi tub (which I used on a recent vacation) & decide to turn on the jets, it works better with 2 bath bombs since some of them are pretty big tubs.

PRICES:
$4.95

THINGS I LOVE:
First off, the smell was my favorite
Second, I love vegan products - I'm no longer Vegan but still appreciate finding a good vegan product.
It did soften the water some & my skin felt nice when I got out
It made my bath relaxing & soothing - a good way to take the edge off

THINGS I WASN'T CRAZY ABOUT:
First, my skin didn't stay soft long due to having to rinse off all the glitter on my body once I was done
Second, the glitter was all over my tub afterward & I forgot to pull out the paper flag so it was stuck to my drain - however, it was a pretty easy clean up a quick rinse & it was gone.

OVERALL RATING: 
7.5 out of 10
I MAY recommend this bath bomb depending on the person & their reason for using it
Definitely good for someone who wants the scent & time to relax; NOT meant for someone who wants some kind of effect from it (soft skin, etc.)
Overall, I did enjoy it & the smell did make up for all the glitter but still not my favorite Lush product


NEXT UP: I will write about a the Amazon Kindle & what I think of it so far
