Tulip Mum Reusable Bubble Bar

Posted on 09:27 by tony

...And so I reach the last seasonal review.With all of the new Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Easter products, I feel like I've spent the last month living in my bath. My flatmates would argue that I've probably spent more time in their tub, than I have in my own bed, and there's already talks about the 'dreaded' water bill at the end of this month. I wish I could say that I've left the best until last but unfortunately this is not the case. 

Tulip Mum Reusable Bubble Bar is a pretty looking product, and fits in nicely alongside The Mum and Madame Butterfly. Much like both of these other limited edition 'wands', this one has also taken a popular scent from Lush's regular range, and repackaged it for a seasonal release.

Possessing a blend of ylang ylang, clary sage and jasmine oils, this product shares it's scent with the infamous Sex Bomb Ballistic. The ingredients have been combined to help you unwind and clear your thoughts - exactly what a hard-working mother might need. The jasmine is the key ingredient here as, known for being an aphrodisiac, it'll help to ease stress and anxiety. The other ingredients merge together to create a slightly spicy, and very gentle, floral fragrance.
As with the other two reusable bubble bars, the Tulip Mum is very reasonably priced. For £5.25, this bubble bar can be used multiple times, making it a lot cheaper than a normal bubble bar or ballistic. Lush claim that you can reuse these bars a good five or six times, although I found that this one would probably only squeeze three or four baths out in total. 

As you can see from my video, I used Tulip Mum by holding it under the tap, where it immediately beings to spew out a nice amount of soft bubbles. If you're not a fan of too many bubbles, you can opt to swish this around the tub instead. The great thing about all of Lush's reusable bubble bars, is that you have complete control over deciding how strong you wish your bath to be, meaning that this bubble bar can last as long as you want it to.

Unfortunately, this bubble bar didn't change the colour of the water at all, which is disappointing when you consider how beautiful Sex Bomb is, when it's been dissolved. Furthermore, the fragrance of the bubble bar is very weak and I could barely smell anything throughout my bath. I ended up adding another ballistic 10 minutes into the experience so I could indulge is some kind of fragrance whilst bathing.

The bubble were nice and soft and they did help to moisturise and soften my skin, but the whole experience was rather dissappointing. This is definitely the weakest reusable bubble bar that I've tried so far, and would not consider buying it again.
