Imperfect Imposter

Today I'm going to be talking about the Man in the Moon bubble bar. Why you may ask? It is because, not only has it been very controversial in which scent it is but because it is so unique and covered in gold lustre!
Now I know what you are all thinking and yes, it is indeed Calacas scented. It has such beautiful warm lime aromas incased in gorgeous softening cocoa butter.


I didn't really know where the inspiration for this bubble bar came from until I researched and found that it seems to be based on a French silent film from 1902 called 'Le Voyage Dans La Lune'. It looks so creepy but I assume that the strong resemblance isn't just coincidental. I also assume that the reason they chose this iconic image to turn into a bubble bar was because Georges Méliès also directed short film The Christmas Dream and was sticking his theme and thus interpreting it into the Christmas range. However he does strangely remind me of The Moon from The Mighty Boosh.

The Calacas scent is known to be involved in a lot of the Halloween products such as Monster's Ball bath bomb, Calavera bath bomb and Skullduggery bath bomb which I think fits well of the somewhat off-putting moon that will probably give me nightmares for a week.
 It's beautiful neon yellow glitter glow is perfect for Autumn nights. Team this wonderful bubble bar with Monster's Ball bath bomb this year as I personally do not think that it fits well with the Christmas scents and should have been advertised with the Halloween set. BUT definitely embrace this wonderful scent whilst it's in your local Lush. Calacas is one of the best Lush scents out there and it needs to be enjoyed by all!

The tin as seen above retails at £44.95 and the bubble bar alone is £5.95 but fear not, he is a very big bubble bar. In comparison with the comforter bubble bar it is twice the size. Cut into many chunks and enjoy throughout the cold seasons!
(I only used a very small portion and I haven't had as many bubbles since using Ladybird!

Rating 5/5

I had an absolutely wonderful time visiting the Lush Oxford Street store yesterday and getting to see all of the wonderful new Christmas range in store before it's out in all the regular Lush stores on October 6th. I got to make my favourite bath bomb (Shoot for the stars) and also the Candy Mountain bubble bar plus smell all the amazing new perfumes that are soon to be released. Whilst there are many new bubble bars in the Christmas range, I somehow find it odd that there seems to be a lot less in the way of bath bombs in this years range. For those like myself who had already tried the Snow Fairy jelly bomb through the Lush Kitchen in early August and the previous Christmas bath bombs from 2016, you will find that the product I'm reviewing is one of the only news additions besides Christmas Sweater and Sherbet Dip.
However, do not be disappointed as the bath bombs that have returned are wonderful and I fully recommend Shoot for the Stars (Honey I washed the Kids scent) and Luxury Lush Pud (if you are a fan of twilight!)

Thundersnow was first available at the Lush Summit back in February and what I perfect time to release it to the world just in time for Christmas!
Now, this product is absolutely beautiful from start to finish. It smells like a mint hot chocolate and Lord of Misrule had a love child. To me this product kind of looks like world piece but in no way does it smell the same. Thundersnow isn't glittery, it doesn't even need it in my opinion (and I always love a glitter filled bath) but this bath bomb is so relaxing and the colours are gorgeous. It's perfect before a good nights sleep.


The name Thundersnow I assume gets it's name from the hidden popping candy inside. When released into the bath, it sounds like hail and heavy rain on a window and for someone who loves being wrapped up warm in bed listening to heavy downpours, this is blissful. It creates a wonderful turquoise blue water with a light green foam and it whizzes around the bath so quickly but it isn't surprisingly a fast fizzer and took around 7 minutes to fully dissolve.

The colours remind me of a less extravagant Intergalactic and is completely enchanting. The scent, I feel is like nothing Lush have released before and is perfect for a cold winters night and I hope this product returns for years to come. (It's something to take my mind off of the fact that So White isn't returning).
