As I've said before, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with LUSH but my favourite of their products are most definitely bubble bars. In particular the Bubblebeard bubble bar from their Christmas collection. It's one of the reusable ones on a stick that you stir into the water to create bubbles. Bubblebeard is fragranced with sandalwood, lavender, neroli, thyme, cedarwood and tonka which combine to make an incredibly relaxing and gently masculine fragrance which is a pleasant deviation from LUSH's super sweet scents. It also softens the bath water without making it feel oily.
So far, with about half a bar to go, it has lasted for six baths with a modest amount of bubbles but plenty of fragrance - which really isn't bad for £4.95 per bar. Obviously if you like a lot more bubbles it's life will be a bit briefer. I'm very tempted to pick up a couple more before they sell out for this year as my boyfriend is a fan too - although he made me use it first as there is a glittery overspray!

The one thing I find a bit disappointing about the Bubblebeard bubble bar is that there is no donation towards men's health. As I'm sure most people know, November is also Movember and always full of moustache themed charity products and events. It would have been lovely if a few pence per bar went to the cause, even if it was just during November.
I've been meaning to pick this up for ages - it looks like such a fun little product. You're right about the donations they could have done though, maybe suggest it to them and they could take it on board for next year :) xx
ReplyDeleteWow! Your bath looks great!

I've never heard of Movember before. Where have I been?? I love the look of this bubble bar but don't know if the scent is for me.

I've been thinking about getting one of these, I think I definitely will now! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI have to get one of these! And I think I will get some as stocking fillers for christmas too. They are just so cute :o) xx
ReplyDeleteI've seen loads of bloggers go crazy for these. I really want one too and can't wait to get to lush.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Movember, I think they should donate

When I saw the picture I assumed that this was a Movember-themed release and not a Christmas one. It makes so much sense and they definitely should look into it for next year, or this year but it's probably too late.

I saw this in LUSH - but thought it was quite expensive. But you say its lasted 6 baths already and you still have half the bar left. I think I will pick one up (maybe 2).
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cute but I agree-it seems silly to release it in time for Movember and not use it to promote such a good cause. xo
ReplyDeletethis is so cool! love the sound of it's scents as the sickly scents aren't really for me! x

I have this and I haven't used it yet but I am going to use it this weekend I think :) Just finding the time to have a bath!!! I don't love everything from Lush but I definitely love their fresh face masks xo
ReplyDeleteI recently bought the pink wand, and i looooved that. I may have to buy the bubble beard next time :)

I thought it was kinda weird they didn't use this product to donate to Movember either, just seemed like such a natural thing for them to do! Really want to try it out though x

That is very disappointing and a glaring oversight from lush. I do like the bubble bars though, last xmas i had a washing up one that left my hands supersoft x
ReplyDeleteI love that it is a mustache! So cute!x

It would of made sense if they had donated some of the profits to the Movember campaign, however Lush products are more for girls so for them it probably didn't seem logical and i think Lush do donate to some other causes,
