A few years ago, when I was unfortunately not attuned to the amazing world of Lush, the company would throw Forum Parties where die-hard fans would be able to purchase limited edition products that were not available in the shops. It was a great opportunity for staff and fans to get together and discuss their favourite topic, Lush, and share amazing products that were only available in small batches online.
One such party was held in 2012; a party to celebrate Lush Online’s tenth anniversary - so the products available were going to be pretty darn special!
The I Am 10 bubble bar was designed to resemble one of those badges you get on birthday cards for children; a fun idea to symbolise the very nature of the company it represented. It's round and bright red with ‘I Am 10’ written on it in white: a simple design but an eye-catching one.
The best part about it is that it's scented with the American Cream fragrance; a wholesome strawberry and cream concoction not unlike the scent of vanilla milkshake. The addition of lavender and sage helps to add a herby undertone that compliments the fresh vanilla scent and gives it a more rounded smell. The American Cream scent of Clary sage, vanilla and lavender is so scrummy in bubble bar form and gives this product a fruity, sweet and incredibly comforting scent.
It also happens to be vegan, a fact that excited me to no end when I first discovered the bar. Do you know how many times I have picked up a bottle of American Cream Conditioner, in the store, and given it a sniff, pleading inside that it'll one day be made vegan? Too many to count.
I am 10 is probably about eight centimetres in diameter, meaning this bubble bar is perfectly made for two baths. It's soft and squidgy to the touch, making it really easy to break it in half or quarters, depending on how many baths you wish to get out of it. I crumbled half of a bubble bar into the running water, and swished my hands throughout the tub, as this is the best way to create loads of bubbles. The water turned a beautiful salmon-pink colour, the water felt silky-soft and lovely creamy white bubbles were formed.
The delicious American Cream scent remained with me throughout the entire bath and continued to nestle on my skin right through until the following day. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that it is probably the longest lasting product I have yet to try from Lush.
Unfortunately, I Am 10 was released as a limited edition product, meaning it can no longer be bought from the Lush website. However, I was lucky enough to pick up five of them on one of my recent eBay sprees, and I highly recommend that you grab one if and when you can.
This is probably one of my all-time favourite bubble bars from Lush, and I'm really surprised this is not more readily available. I can imagine it being a very high seller so I'm hoping that Lush bring this back soon as I'm keen to stock up!
