My first LUSH bath cocktail- Vanilla Candy Delight

After having a busy and kind of crappy day, I decided that instead of filming a vlog about how badly my day sucked I was just going to take a LUSH bath.

I call this cocktail Vanilla Candy Delight and it includes:
1/2 Vanilla Fountain BBomb (Bath Bomb or Bath Ballistic)
1/5 Comforter BBar (Bubble Bar or Bubble Bar Slice)
1/8 Floating Island BM (Bath Melt)
1/6 Happy Blooming BM

Review:
Bubbles: The bubbles were incredibly soft and "floofy" though disappeared quite quickly (about 15-20 minutes) after tossing in the other products. The reason behind this is that all of the oils included to make the water soft and milky also break up the bubbles (which is a choice I make to be able to mix scents and cocktail).

Exciting (i.e. Mess!) Factor: Little to none- The only thing left to float around in the tub is the little stick from the top of the Vanilla Fountain. This is easily removed and leaves no difficult clean-up. None of these products have glitter and if used properly there should be no sediment.

Smooth Factor: The water was very soft and silky although as the bath progressed and the product began to settle, it almost felt like a little bit too much product.

Scent: It smelled very sweet and although the Comforter and Vanilla Fountain scents combined well with the Happy Blooming adding a fruity scent to the sweet bunch, the Floating Island sort of tipped the sweetness scale a little bit overboard.

Colour: The colour was not a major focus of this bath but ended up being a light peachy orange colour.

The Bottom Line: I would repurchase all of these products and will likely combine the Vanilla Fountain and Comforter products again without the Floating Island Bath Melt. Happy Blooming is one of my favourite melts that LUSH sells and will continue to be mixed with many sweet and fruity scents.

Cost Breakdown: This bath is a little more expensive than a single large bath bomb, but removing one of the melts or using a smaller chunk of bath bomb are both ways of making this a little more cost effective while maintaining the same effect. Also, if you do not enjoy lots of bubbles you can definitely be more stingy with the BBar than I was (for 1/5 I got a huge amount of bubbles).
