Mermaid Bath5
Swimming in the sea with seaweed all around you seems normal, but looking into your tub and seeing so much seaweed swimming around made me a little nervous (normally I'm more brave) and I did consider looking for a strainer. However I said to myself: "Self, you get in that tub and stop being so silly." And so I did and the experience was rather pleasant. I'm used to rose petals floating about, but this was actually even better as the seaweed doesn't tickle.

So, what happens when you add this bath bomb to the tub? Well, it is one of the prettiest Lush baths which foams around the bath, first creating an island that looks also like a volcano bubbling up from the tub. Then the colors appear about as the bath bomb swirls beneath the foamy island, creating a seashore and waves. It is actually very interesting.

Finally, you have a deep blue bath with Atlantic Sea Salt. The lavender oil and lemon oil seem to deep cleanse the skin and the lemon oil is rather refreshing. The Seaweed seems to float about, but then it just keeps to itself until you stir it back up into the water by moving around.

So, if you are looking for a deep cleansing spa-like experience and you don't mind swimming about like a mermaid in seaweed, then this might be for you. If you don't like the seaweed, you might be able to put this in some cheesecloth, tie it up with a string and still get all the benefits, without all the seaweed floating about. It would be cute if they packaged this in some netting with a string.

Big Blue is perhaps the most adventurous Lush bath product I've tried. If you prefer rose petals, try the Romance in a Stone bath ballistic (has a romantic poem inside). I'm also looking forward to trying "Still Life" with sunflower petals, lemon and wild sweet orange. Life would be less fun without Lush. The therapy massage bar is lovely after this bath and you might enjoy the Sea Vegetable Soap - it also seems to have the same seaweed in it.

Relax5
This is my favorite bath bomb from Lush (so far!) I loved the lavender and lime scent- very refreshing. I used the bomb after a long day at work and almost fell asleep in the tub! Some people don't like the mess of the seaweed but as Lush states on their site- you can always wrap it in a nylon! I love Lush!

Absolutely Surreal5
Bathing with this was like being sucked into some kind of unreal fantasy fairy tale - the water turns an incredible shade of blue without getting murky, and the little bits of seaweed floating about are a really nice touch. Every time I use it I feel like I'm in a Tim Burton movie, the water is THAT bright.

The smell was a bit unexpected though - I was expecting a milder scent (more like seanik - the solid shampoo that looks very similar to this bath bomb), but the citrus was nice anyways. I will definitely, absolutely, without a doubt be getting this again.
