Strawberries and Dreams

I decided a little while ago that I didn’t really want to buy anymore from Lush, for a few different reasons, so I had to look for alternatives to satisfy
my adiction for handmade soaps, bathbombs, bath melts etc.
which is where Bomb Cosmetics comes in.
I’ve already done one review of the cookie bathblaster and there are a few more planned.
But anyway onto the Strawberries and Dreams (cutest name) bath brulee, it’s £2.99 for 160g and you get between 3-4 baths.
Bomb cosmetics isn’t a huge company however they have quite a good online store where they stock everything from soaps, bathblasters to candles.
You can also find your nearest store on the site and see if there’s one near by
(I’ve been to two different ones and I really love the quaint, personal feel of their stores!)
I didn’t read the directions before use so I did it a little differently – you’re meant to drop the entire thing into your bath and let a part of it dissolve. Then remove it before too much has fizzled out. I just broke a bit off.

The scent is the main reason I got this and it is just right – it’s not overpowering but it’s strong enough that it's noticeable. The fragrance sweet but not in a sugary way, it’s slightly fruity, slightly floral and generally just a really girly, summery scent which I really love!

Once it was in the water I got a lovely milky bath.
,,
Strawberries and Dreams is meant to soften your skin through a mixture of cocoa butters and essential oils and my skin was definately soft and lightly scented afterwards. Overall I really love this and is definitely something I can imagine me repurchasing in the future!

Have you tried any of Bomb Cosmetics things? Or do you know any other Lush alternatives I should take a look at?

Hope this has been helpful!! x

    I have tried some of the bomb products and really like them although they are a bit pricey. Have a quick search for lady mucks bath products as she sells some gorgeous stuff online and good prices too x

    Can I ask why you won't buy from Lush anymore? :)

    This sounds good enough to eat, but they probably don't recommend that ...

    i miss having a bathtub! i used to love taking bubble baths and using bath bombs (but then we moved and got shower stalls instead. wah!).

    i know that there are a lot of great etsy sellers that make awesome bath bombs though, if you want some lush alternatives!

    @Fueledbymanda nothing major, I just prefer the idea of supporting smaller companies and individuals as Lush is so big now I feel alot of the smaller companies never get a look in :)

    @Erica & Nicoletta oh I'll definately check them out - love discovering new brands!

    @ShopN'Chompe & Carrie their products are always this cute - whenever I go into their shops I always feel like I'm in a bakery everything is so cute :)

    Thanks for commenting!! x

    strawberries and dreams is the best name ever! i've never been into the whole lush thing really, although i know so, so many people who are borderline obsessed. i've heard of bomb before, and they seem to get good reviews

    @Krystal nothings wrong with it I just prefer to support smaller businesses that I think are always overshadowed :)

    @rebecca I was into lush a while ago but i prefer trying out new places now

    @Sarah & Sophie lol it really does look god enough to eat - it looks better once its in the bath though :)
