Review: Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar


First of all I do have to apologise for reviewing a Lush product that is only available to buy in the run up to Christmas and in the post-Christmas sale (which is where I got hold of it). However I do feel the need to tell you all how much I now love the Candy Mountain Bubble Bar - in a sort of run into the fields, throw out my hands and sing kind of way (à la Sound of Music). Plus it's plenty of warning for those of you who haven't tried it before to add it to your wishlist as soon as it comes out later this year. 

The Candy Mountain Bubble Bar is released every year as part of Lush's Christmas range, but from what I gather looks a little different each year. This one is cone shaped with swirls and dots of pink and white, covered in a pearly white lustre. At first I thought it had the Snow Fairy scent (which I love); it's quite similar but less sweet and more creamy, with a gorgeous vanilla base. It apparently has the same scent as the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar and the Rock Star Soap (I have the latter in my stash waiting to be used). 

I used the whole bubble bar in one go as it is fairly small in size; it produced a decent layer of foamy bubbles and turned the bath a pretty baby pink. The beautiful scent is strong enough to fill the bathroom but not so much so that it is overwhelming or heady. What I didn't expect was how soft and almost silky the Candy Mountain Bubble Bar turned the water - it made such a difference that I noticed it instantly. This softness stayed on my skin after getting out of the bath, as did the scent. This has to be one of my favourite bubble bars I've tried from Lush and I will definitely be getting one in the run up to Christmas 2015 (sorry about mentioning that!).

Have you tried Lush Candy Mountain? What is your favourite bubble bar?

    Mmm, I love Candy Mountain! They repackage Creamy Candy each year to make it so you can use Creamy Candy throughout the year to get your fix :) My favourite bubble bar is probably The Comforter! x

    I think next Christmas I'm going to need to go for bubble bars instead of bath bombs. I wasn't particularly impressed by any of the bombs I tried last Christmas but I think the problem is because for a bath means bubbles. I'll definitely be looking at trying this one x

      I've been loving the bubble bars more than bath bombs recently. Many bubble bars you can get more than one use out of and like you said they produce more bubbles! xx
