A French Kiss (Lush Review)

I am a huge huge advocate for the idea that a dark bath with a nice book or a TV show is pretty much the cure to most bad things in life (I am currently sick, taking a bath, and blogging this at the same time). So when I went to lush I decided to pick up one of their bubble bars since I've tried their bath bombs and melts.

It's the French kiss one and in the description it says "The fresh herbal fragrances of lavender, rosemary and thyme with essential oils from the hills of sun-soaked Provence go into our swirly love letter inspired by the warmth and beauty of the French countryside. It's even topped with a sprig of lavender. Lay back and relax into serene purple waters"

I chose this one because I love the smell of lavender and rosemary both, especially when i am trying to relax, and I thought it would make my bath water turn pretty colors (i'm a sucker for cute things like that). The worker at lush told me that this one bar should be good for 1-2 baths. With all that in mine, I crumbled mine up under running water and even swirled around the water because the worker said the more vigorous the water= the more bubbles. 

That being said as you can see in the water there's bubbles but not the mountains of heaps of bubbles I had been promised and there was also no "serene purple waters" that I could see. So I crumbled even more of the bar (to about more than half way) and voila more bubbles but still not to the extent that I expected and also still no purple waters. There were some sprigs of lavender/rosemary that I could see in the water which I really enjoyed and the bath did give off a really nice lavender smell with an even amount of rosemary. The water also did feel much richer than a normal bath feels but I've noticed that's how my water feels when I use any lush bath product. The bubbles that are pictures above lasted a good 45 minutes then disappeared which is a bit of a shame considering I take almost 2 hour long baths (once i'm in i'm committed to staying in). The smell did continue to last even after I drained the tub though so it made my entire bathroom smell heavenly. After I rinsed off my skin felt really soft but not any more softer than when I use any other lush bath product. 

OVERALL:

smell: 9/10

look of product: 10/10

look of water in tub: 2/10

moisturizing: 6/10

relaxing: 8/10

**I would repurchase because I just loved the smell so much**
