Lush Cosmetics' Too Drunk Emotibomb Review

When I woke up this morning, I felt like death. No, I wasn't battling a wicked New Year's hangover, but I was impossibly sick with a head cold that seemed to have spring up from no where. I was debating a Lush bath verses a regular shower when I remembered I had this little guy to test out.
Too Drunk was the first emotibomb I had used and was not disappointed. It was like a bath bomb, but for the shower. It reacted in the same way bath bombs do, except this was shaped differently, was scented and was extremely clarifying.
If you're a person who wants to enjoy Lush's bath products but doesn't have time for soak in the tub, the emotibomb is for you.

As Too Drunk disintegrated in the water, my shower was filled with the scent of peppermint, which shook me from my fog. The only bit that didn't wash down the drain was the eye. It was made of some sort of gel with a hard shell. After I broke the seal, the scented gel filled the shower before washing away.
After getting out of the shower, I felt like a new person. my congestion had completely cleared and my sore throat was lessened. The steam from the shower was a factor but I believe it was the emotibomb that helped out tremendously.
I would repurchase this product again.
Final thoughts:
Likes: scent, can be used in shower, may or may not have magical healing powers.
Dislikes: Nothing.
Rating: 9/10

If you are interested in the Too Drunk Emotibomb, it is available at Lush for $4.50.

Lush Cosmetics Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb Review

Before I begin this review, I must confess that I am a huge Lush junkie. I am constantly buying and testing their products and will have many reviews here about them. If you've never tried Lush before, I highly recommend it for both girls and guys!
I tried the Dragon's Egg bath bomb recently and was very pleased by the results. To begin, it was a bit larger than an average bath bomb at Lush. The woman in the store told me it was sherbet scented and contained glitter, which was a couple of the many reasons I purchased it.

After I drew a hot bath, I popped in the bath bomb and waited for the magic to begin.
It took a long time to completely fizz out, maybe five minutes in total. As the bomb melted away, colored gel circles floated into the tub. I realized they were meant to represent dragon scales. How cool is that?
Once I reached the center of the bomb, I was pleased to see that there was a large pocket of liquidy gold glitter. It melted into the bath water and mixed in quickly.
Once I got out of the bath water, I realized there was a lot of gold glitter left on my body. If you're the type of person who does not like body glitter, I advise you to steer clear of this product!
After I drained the tub, there was some glitter stuck at the bottom. I ran the shower with cold water for a few moments to clean it out.
I would definitely repurchase this product again!
Final thoughts:
Likes: presentation of the product. The concept of dragon scales and gold glitter was very creative and fun. I also liked that the mess was easy to clean up, unlike other products I've tried from Lush.
Dislikes: Nothing!
