Lush Rocketeer Bath Bomb

I've mentioned in my previous post that I had a broken piece of the Rocketeer Bath Bomb from Lush.  Well, I finally I found time to use it.  I had a large tub so I ended up using all of it.  

My previous post: http://beautyfornewbies.blogspot.com/2012/11/lush-rocketeer-bath-bomb.html

So this bath bomb cost $6.95.  And the way it is made it's supposed to float, fizz (because of the fizzing candy inside), and spin around in your tub like a rocket...leaving a path of yellow and green path behind it.  Again, since mine was broken I wasn't able to experience it.  I do have a whole one that Lush had sent as a replacement so I can't wait to try it out than.  Also, there's tiny glitter that makes this bath even more magical.

Description from Lush: 
For an out-of-this-world bathing expedition, pop a Rocketeer Bath Bomb in the tub. The blue rocket pack shoots around your tub, leaving a wake of froth, fizz and the sweet scent of candy sticks. Watch the water change from blue to yellow to green as the yellow "flames" push the rocket around the tub. We made this one to entice our little ones into the tub for an exciting adventure, but it turns out (as usual) we like using it ourselves too!

This made the bath very colorful.  And I love the scent.  It's a very sweet citrus scent!

At the end the water turns into a clear greenish blue color.  It's just beautiful!  I'm not sure if this item is one of their regular items or if it's a seasonal item.  I've just check their website and they don't have this bath bomb in stock anymore.  It's not in stores either.  I guess next time I see it available I should stock up on a few.

So who used and like this bath bomb?  Please let me what you all think of it.  And any other recommendations on bath bombs or Lush products?  I'm excited to hear what you have to say,

Lush Day After Christmas Haul

I'm not sure why its taking me so long to post up my Christmas haul from Lush. Well here it is. I did not purchase any Christmas box sets because items in them either looked old and dried up or the items in it I wasn't too interested in. I got soaps, bath bombs, and bubble wands.

Not sure why they didn't give out regular Lush bags at this store

My purchase came to $57.79. It's still kind of pricey but I did save almost 50%. It's nice to sometimes treat yourself to something nice right? I just hope I have time to use them. Hehe...

So soaps I got:

Angles Delight

Mr. Punch

Snow Globe

Sexy Peel

Bath bombs I got:

So White Ballistic (2)

Cinder Ballistic - I was told they going to discontinue this...

Golden Wonder

Bubble wands I got:

Magic Wands

If I finally get the time I'll write a short review on how these items each turn out. :) Anyone else take advantage of the big BOGO after Christmas sale? Tell me about it.

Lush After Christmas Day Sale BOGO

It's another after Christmas day sale at Lush! It's one of their biggest sales ever. Actually, I think it's the only sale they have ever. It's a buy one get one FREE kinda sale. On almost everything in their stores. The sales are on all their gift sets (Christmas or non Christmas sets), all their selection of soaps, their Christmas bubble bars, their Christmas bath bombs, their holiday shower gels, and items from their makeup brilliance collection.

So if you purchase a $60 gift box you can get another box same of lesser value FREE!! Awesome huh?

Most of the items on their websites are all sold out already. The only way you can get them now is from their stores. So hurry and check out the sale. I made a huge purchase already. Will do a haul on it shortly! So happy shopping!!

Lush Rocketeer Bath bomb

I've made an online purchase through Lush over the summer and I haven't really used any of my items until now. One of the items I've gotten was the Lush Rocketeer bath bomb.

Lush site (US) description:

For an out-of-this-world bathing expedition, pop a Rocketeer Bath Bomb in the tub. The blue rocket pack shoots around your tub, leaving a wake of froth, fizz and the sweet scent of candy sticks. Watch the water change from blue to yellow to green as the yellow "flames" push the rocket around the tub. We made this one to entice our little ones into the tub for an exciting adventure, but it turns out (as usual) we like using it ourselves too!

I've seen so many reviews on this item and videos on YouTube so I was excited to try to get my hands on it. It's supposed to fizz around in your bath tub like a rocket and turns your tub into yellow, green, blue-ish colors.

When I received my package (from the UK, because items selling there are much cheaper compared to items sold in the US) the Rocketeer was cracked and crumbed into tiny pieces. I was upset because it seems like that's the only item in the box that wasn't wrapped correctly. And another strange thing was the package was cut open already so some of the bath bomb was sliding around the box. Since this bath bomb is broken it wouldn't have that rocket effect anymore. I informed Lush what had happen and they were nice enough to ship over a brand new one for me. I didn't have to pay for anything. They also didn't ask me to ship my broken item back either. I was very happy with their customer service. They really do want to keep their customers happy.

My Broken Rocketeer

My Brand New Rocketeer on the Right

So while I was waiting for my new Rocketeer to arrive I actually used some pieces of the bath bomb. Please see the YouTube video I've uploaded. It's nothing interesting. It did turned my water pretty blue and yellow. If you want to see what a Rocketeer do in the bath please check other YouTube videos online. There's so many of them already so I probably won't do one.
