Luxury Pud Bath Bomb

Having tried a Lil' Pud earlier in the week, I thought I'd indulge myself with Lush's more modernised version; the Luxury Lush Pud. Making is debut as part of the Christmas 2013 range, the ballistic is a grander, more attractive version of it's former self. In fact, it's safe to say that apart from the holly decoration on the side, this bath bomb could be sold alongside Lil Lush pud without anyone complaining of seeing double.  

While Lil Lush Pud was made to resemble a traditional Christmas pudding, the Luxury Lush Pud has stepped away from this somewhat and created an original take on the classic pudding. Part purple and part white, with multicoloured polka dots lavished all over it's sides, this bath bomb is a feast for the senses. 

And it's not only the attractive design that makes this bath bomb so exciting. Sharing it's scent with the infamous Twilight bath bomb, Luxury Lush Pud offers a delightfully strong fragrance for anyone that is lucky enough to be in it's presence. In fact, when I went into a local Lush store recently, it was this ballistic that out-shone all of the other bath products on sale.

Although I wouldn't consider lavender to be one of my favourite scents, both this and the range of Twilight products offer a more sophisticated, mature malty fragrance that would appeal to younger consumers; it's very far from the pot-pourri type of lavender that you expect to find in old people's homes.

Finally, if you were wondering why Lush have chosen to bring out a bath bomb that shares it's scent with an established product, just you wait until see what it can do in the water! I couldn't help but marvel when the pastel colours spilled out of the bath bomb as it frothed and fizzed on the water's surface. Luxury Lush pud really puts on a show; I'd probably rate it as one of the most entertaining bath bombs that Lush have ever released.

Although it's not the most hydrating of bath products, and did leave my skin a little dry, I was able to rectify this with some moisturiser afterwards, so this didn't at all detract from the experience of the bath bomb. The only other qualm about this bath bomb is that it's a seasonal product so will only be available to buy for a few more weeks.

Luxury Lush Pud is a bath bomb I recommend stocking up on; it truly is a feast for every one of your senses, and you'll regret not putting aside a few to last you the year. I'd be gutted, and rather surprised if this didn't make a reappearance next year.
