LUSH’s “Guardian of the Forest” Bath Bomb Review

I’ve been so busy the last few weeks that “me time” became “stressed out in the tub thinking about all of the things that I have to do time”. My life has finally settled into a routine and I found myself able to actually enjoy a nice, hot bath. All by myself, glass of wine, phone off– ahhhhhh. I’m not one to enjoy my own company often, but, today was the perfect day for a long soak. Not a worry in the world.

Today’s partner in crime was LUSH’s Guardian of the Forest bath bomb.

This bath bomb is 170g for $7.50 on the Lush CosmeticsLush Cosmetics website and is one of their more popular bath bombs alongside Yoga Bomb and Intergalactic and for good reason!

This bath bomb contains ingredients like cypress oil, lime oil, rosewood oil and oakmoss absolute that fill your tub with incredibly moisturizing essential oils and the smell of the woods, without smelling like a pine tree. It’s a very calming earthy, but yet citrus scent–exactly what you think cypress, lime and rosewood would smell like combined. (Another award for that scent description, I’m really starting to excel at this *eye roll*)

This bath bomb is definitely in my top 5 and will be repurchased and paired with a ton of bath products that I currently own. The best way to combine bath products is to get a small strainer or even better, just a small handheld sift and combine your products in the bowl. You’re able to run this under the water to activate your bath bombs, melt your bath melts and combine the 2-3 bath products that you’d like to try together. A great example of this is on my favourite LUSH enthusiast’s Instagram, @thebathingbeaut.

I also fell in love with the colour of the water, although not important, it was such a beautiful green that I was so mesmerized!

This lime green haze filled my tub and surprisingly didn’t stain (win-win) and the woodsy-citrus scent stuck to my body for hours afterwards! Waking up in the morning, I can still smell the scent of rosewood on my skin. It’s lovely!

This is definitely a bath bomb for everyone. Whether you like sweet scents, or fresh scents–floral or masculine–it’s such an overall flattering smell that it I think even the toughest critic would love. It’s also very unisex with it’s colouring. I don’t know about the man in your life, but mine likes a good tub… But not when it’s bright pink with sparkles, though this bomb does add a smidgen of shimmer to the water. He won’t notice though, pinky promise. This bath bomb is perfect for a little male (or female) company in the tub with your fussy partner! Masculine, yet feminine in scent, it doesn’t reveal itself as obnoxiously “girly” and is still super moisturizing for your bathing benefit.

If you want to try out this bath bomb, head over to www.lush.ca to check it out. A few of my other favourite “unisex” bath bombs include Frozen, Big Blue and Avobath. Something you’ll like that you can convince a gruff and tumble man to step into (good luck, girl)

Today I am thankful for hot baths, watercolour painting and early mornings.
