Jacko Bath Bomb

Posted on 07:32 by tony

2013 will be the first year I get to experience the excitement of Lush's Halloween range, as it was just after Halloween last year that I began to collect their stuff. Having scoured all over the internet, reading reviews on all of the past products and feeling envious that I'll most likely go without ever trying them, I was so excited when I spotted a collection of Jackos going for a bargain price on eBay. 

It's named after the American term 'Jack-o-Lantern' and is probably one of the most intriguing looking ballistics that Lush have ever released. What makes it stand out from the usual humdrum is it's slightly-sinister, slightly-endearing face and the fact that it's flat, as opposed to the regular sphere shaped bath bombs. This latter fact did bother me a little bit as I'm aware that smaller ballistics (such as the Ickle Bot) tend to fizzle out rather quickly and leave limited comfort in the tub.

My worries were somewhat suppressed when the Jacko hit the water and quickly turned my entire tub into a bright orange liquid. However, I was a little disappointed to see that the colour faded very quickly, and within 5 minutes of being in the bath, I found myself laying in a yellow tainted water that looked far from pleasant. 

With clove bud and cardamom oils to give it remnants of spice, and peppermint oil to soothe and soften skin, this is a bath bomb to be enjoyed when you're cold or overrun by a cold. The scent really helps to clear your mind and relax those weary eyes. However, this is another one of those ballistics that fade rather quickly in the water and I found myself tempted to put a second ballistic in to top up the scent.

Overall, it is far from the worst ballistic I've tried, but it's not one that I would use again and again. I do feel however that this scent would work really well as a shower gel. Perhaps Halloween 2013 will bring such things! 

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cardamom Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Spearmint Oil, *Cinnamal, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 15510.

Vegan?: Yes
