Lush Review : Yellow Submarine bath bomb

"We all live in a yellow submarine. Yellow submarine, yellow submarine"



Now that I have inserted The Beatles in this review, I can proceed to the actual blog post. Today , as you can see from the title, I am going to review the bath bomb called Yellow Submarine by Lush. I had an idea of the what this bath bomb would look like as the lovely sales assistant at Lush Oxford Street had shown me and my friend a demonstration.


As the Yellow Submarine bath bomb comes into contact with the water it creates a thick layer of foam of yellow and pink (the design's colours). It floats for a short time, travelling across the water, before turning over as if sinking. Yellow Submarine continues to release foam, mixing the colours in the water to create a rich rusty orange.



The Yellow Submarine bath bomb is made from a mixture of orange, coriander and lemongrass. You would expect it to have a rich citrusy smell. However, the combination of the ingredients creates a subtle fruity scent that is on the verge of a tropical scent. Some might say that they can smell hints of coconut in it, but ,to my dismay, my sense of smell did not pick this up.

I usually watch the bath bomb fully dissolve before entering the bath tub, but Yellow Submarine is such a slow dissolving bath bomb that I lost my patience and just got in the bath. This bath bomb didn't leave my skin feeling silky smooth as other bath bombs would have , nor did its scent linger on my skin. However, the bathroom did smell yummy for a while after I got out the bath.

Overall, I think that the Yellow Submarine is a good quality bath bomb. However, it's not on the same level as many of the other  bath bombs that Lush have got. So, I wouldn't recommend this if you love bath bombs that leave your skin smelling yummy and feeling smooth. However, if you like tropical scents and just want to treat yourself then I would recommend it.

Until next time, lovelies.

Hey ! Source : Pinterest If you know me or follow me on social media, then you would know that I LOVE One Direction, and have been loving them since 2012.  I've watched probably like 75% of their interviews ,and in one of their earlier interviews, Louis Tomlinson said that the first meal he even cooked was chicken stuffed with cheese wrapped in parma ham. I have been meaning to do it but I was too lazy to do it. But today, I shall be making it. And here's how.... You will need : Chicken Breast (not the breaded kind) Parma Ham slices Mozzarella You might want to add : Salt and Pepper (optional) Herbs ( of your choice) Cherry Tomatoes (to put with the mozzarella) Mash potato ( optional for the side) Now that you have all of your ingredients, this is how to do it : Preheat oven  200ºC/400ºF/gas 6 You need to butterfly the chicken by cutting into it half way lengthwise.

Unboxing : Owl Crate October 2018

Image
And we're back with another Owl Crate Unboxing. Are you surprised? I'm sure you aren't. October is here, and so that means cold weather and book cuddles. It also means lots of tea will be consumed by book lovers all around the globe (or coffee. Whatever floats your boat). Luckily for us, Owl Crate has got our backs and created the perfect box for Autumn/Fall for us. The October 2018 Owl Crate was themed Lost in the Bookstore. This box was slightly different from other boxes because most of the items weren't inspired by a book fandom.  Once again, before I start to talk about the exclusive items in this box I want to talk about the illustration on the spoiler card and on the pin. The creative is just so simply drawn but it is so beautiful. What I love the most in this photo is the magic teapot. Every bookworm deserves a magic teapot to pour our tea for us when we are reading.   Let's start with the items in the box.  First up we have a lovely

Review : Inkbox Tattoo

Image
Hey ! Before we begin I want to take you back to 2012. January 6 th 2012 was the day I discovered One Direction. The reason I am telling you this is because the boys of One Direction have a small number of tattoos. One of them happens to be on Louis Tomlinson's skin, which I had sworn to get inked into my skin. But as I grew older (and a tad wiser) I realized that I shouldn't get it as it looks rather childish. Now, as I was curiously browsing through Inkbox's selection of temporary tattoos I spotted a tattoo similar to that of Louis's so ,obviously, I got it. I, also, got a Raven tattoo from their The Mummy Collection for my friend. SO....here is my review of the Inkbox Temporary Tattoo "Papel". In other words, a paper airplane. This little beauty cost me $21 USD without postage and delivery, and since it's outside the EU I had to pay about 9euro to the deliveryman for VAT. The box it comes in is black with this really cool design
