Auntie Pamela Bubble Bar by LUSH

Product Description

Auntie Pamela is a shamelessly luxurious bubble bar, scented with hugely expensive natural fragrances. For example, it has rose absolute to keep your skin soft (especially if you're getting on a bit in years and don't want anyone to notice), calm your busy mind and make you feel generally glad to be alive. It's beautiful to look at too, in elegant rose decorated with rose petals and golden sparkles. We wanted real gold leaf but we can't have everything.

Customer Reviews

Bubbles galore - great to combine with bath bombs!5
You won't need to use the entire bar to get a huge amount of bubbles. Amandopondo might be the most bubble-producing bubble bar from Lush. The scent creates serenity and the lack of colour makes it perfect to mix with your favourite bath bomb. I find myself using this bubble bar, Blue Skies, and Ice Hotel more than any others.

I have gone back twice to order soaps, bath bubbles, and bath bombs, from the Lush site. The product is fun, lasting aroma, and high quality

Bubbles galore!4
I've been a Lushie for a while but never tried this bar. Got the chance today and Yay! I only used about an eighth of the bar and the bubbles would not stop! The water became quite soft and while there was no color it was a great experience! I wish I could comment on the scent but as I am sick I couldn't smell it!

Overall a wonderful bubble bar!

All That Jasmine Bath Bomb by LUSH

Don't let its coy act fool you. While All That Jas lacks flashy exterior, its sheer sex appeal and electrifying performance more than make up for it. If you're not immediately won over by the stunning jade water (and everyone is), then the sultry combo of jasmine and vanilla will have you singing a different tune.

Customer Reviews

Yummy. :)5
Oh God, this bath bomb smells SO good! It turns the water a pale green and the scent lingers for hours afterward. To get your money's worth, I'd recomend breaking the ball up into smaller pieces. The scent is still nice and strong and the ball lasts longer.

fizzy bath bomb5
Softens the water and is relaxing after a long day.I have gone back twice to order soaps, bath bubbles, and bath bombs, from the Lush site. The product is fun, lasting aroma, and high quality

My first Lush product.4
I received this bath bomb as a gift from my sister who basically told me that the jasmine in the bath bomb would help me relax since I'm constantly anxious. I'm not a big bath person but I like to treat myself every so often when I get the chance.

A week ago, I turned on my hot water, shut the lights off, and dropped the bath bomb into the tub. It immediately started to fizz and the water began to turn green.

The scent is light and calming. I have to say that I expected it to be stronger and it also doesn't last as long as I thought it would. If you're going to take a bath, you have to do it right. None of this 15 minutes and you're out thing. I wish the smell lasted a bit longer.

As the other reviewer mentioned, you should break up the bath bomb into a few pieces to make it last longer. As soon as I dropped the whole thing into the tub, I regreted not breaking it into smaller pieces because the bath bomb is big and it would've lasted a few more trips to the tub.

As a lover of bath bombs, I don't think this particular one is anything special but the fun color it turns your tub makes it worth it.

Customer Reviews

Try this with Ne Worry Pas5
Toss a LUSH "Ne Worry Pas" in the bath and then wash with this soap and you will be amazed at the beautiful warm fragrance that seems to float around you for the next day. This is one of the best soaps if you enjoy heady jasmine, vetivert and honeysuckle. I like this as much as Sultana of Soap which is currently scenting up my entire office....mmmm so delicious. You can put the soaps around the house to scent entire rooms with essential oils.

~The Rebecca Review

Ecstatic cleanliness5
I just noticed that Amazon sells this seductive soap, and I'll order here next time. My husband and I are so addicted to Alkmaar that we've been driving for two hours to Montreal every few months to buy it.

Alkmaar is not cheap, and off and on we try to do without it. But the memory of that heady scent and sensation is impossible to dismiss from memory. We always go back to it.

Bathing with Alkmaar is an indescribably delicious experience. The bar is so creamy it seems to melt silkily all over your body - and frankly, it does dissolve rather quickly. This is not your long-lasting, economical, big-family soap. Only true devotees will want to pay the price for the ephemeral joys of Alkmaar.

It's quite impossible to exaggerate the exquisite effect of the jasmine fragrance. A fresh bar of Alkmaar makes your whole bathroom smell heavenly. The sultry Alkmaar scent lingers subtly on your skin. A co-worker who hugged my husband remarked on how good he smelled. Alkmaar combines a perfume, an after-shave, a deodorant and a room freshener all in one.

At one time there seemed to be some danger that Lush would discontinue Alkmaar. The threat passed, however, and we hope never to go through that again.

So yes, I would definitely recommend Alkmaar to sensuous, self-indulgent, pleasure-loving bathers everywhere.

Amazing skin care product!5
We learned about this soap when our daughter brought us back a sample from Israel; we wish we had known about it years ago! It has completely cleared up the KP on my arms, which I have had all of my life. My husband has had a skin condition on his arms that even the dermatologist was baffled by. It is now starting to clear up! I can not say enough positive things about this product, it truly is amazing.

Absolute Delight Bath Bomb by LUSH

Product Description

If Sex Bomb is the one you take on a hot date, Absolute Delight is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. It may not be as bright and flashy but it's gentle and kind; the kind of bomb that you never tire of coming home to. We scent it with Turkish rose absolute and add balancing geranium, relaxing sandalwood and sensual jasmine. As it's a little like Turkish Delight (that rose-flavored confection dusted with icing sugar), we thought the name Absolute Delight summed it up perfectly.

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Rose5
Absolute Delight is a bath bomb with a beautiful rose scent- not too sweet, not too cloying, not too stuffy. Think of a fresh rose in a summer garden, and you've pretty much got this bath bomb. Add to that a beautiful pink color and a long-lasting scent, and you've got a bath that's absolutely delightful indeed.

A Ring of Roses Buttercream by LUSH

Product Description

Roses have been queenly since the days of Cleopatra when the sultry ruler demanded that the canals be filled with them to scent her arrival by boat. Beyond its lovely fragrance, rose absolute also smoothes and rejuvenates skin. Ring of Roses has a glycerine base (an ingredient traditionally paired with rosewater) and plenty of cocoa butter to soften and pamper your skin as you bathe. Try it for shaving too. Either way, you'll feel like royalty. Note: This product may melt and is NOT guaranteed to arrive solid during the summer months!

More like Ring of Lemon!3
Smells like lemons, or some sort of citrus. I didn't think it was all that great. It got me clean, merh.

Note too rosey, but sweet all the same5
I was actually hoping for a stronger rose scent - but this is a blend of citrus and rose - an odd, yet very very appealing aroma. I shaved off a small slice to keep in the bathroom so that I don't waste it by over exposure to water. (I don't have heating in my apt, and its cold, so I'm not worried about it having to go in a fridge for storage since its possible the temperature is the same at the moment. (though i do keep the larger chunk in the fridge anyway)
Its an amazing fragrance - very sensual, yet invigorating. And works great as a moisturizing cleanser.
I'm definitely going to get this one again!

If you love roses, this is for you.3
I got this as a free sample from my friend, and was really excited to use it. I'm not a fan of rose smells, so when I got this Butter Cream, I already knew I wouldn't like the smell. But for those of you who like roses, this soap smells exactly like it. Ring of Roses is one of LUSH's Butter Creams, which is basically a hand or body soap that is packed with cocoa/shea butter so it's super moisturizing. I really like how this Butter Cream left my skin (smooth, soft and moisturized), but I really didn't care for the smell which is why I took off a couple of stars. The smell is the only negative thing about this soap, and that's just a preference thing. I still really liked how the soap worked.

I will, however, be buying other Butter Creams from LUSH. They have one that smells just like chocolate (Heavenly Bodies)and it leaves your skin super soft as well.
