Today I'm
going to be discussing another new ballistic to me, Yellow Submarine from Lush.
I bought this bomb at the same time as the Rocket Science bomb, I just couldn't
resist them both (I'm a sucker for shaped/unusual bath bombs).
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric
Acid, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Brazilian Orange Oil, Coriander Seed Oil,
Lemongrass Oil, Water (Aqua), Limonene, Citral, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin,
Perfume, Fandango Lustre, Colour 45410, Colour 47005.
How to use: Just pop into a hot bath and watch it fizz away!
Price: £4.25 (2018)
£3.95 (2017)
£3.95 (2017)
Made with fresh lemongrass oil, Brazilian orange oil and coriander seed oil this ballistic has a very fresh citrus-herb scent. I wasn't so sure about the smell at first but decided to take the plunge and purchase because it was just so darn cute.
The Brazilian orange oil refreshes the skin while lemongrass oil acts as an antiseptic and brings out a glow in the skin.
Once is hits the water it spouts out bright yellow foam with a jet of pink foam being expelled from the rear. This one, like Rocket Science, floats on the top surrounded by it's frothy bubbles and propels itself around the bath. My Yellow Submarine flipped straight over when I popped it in the tub and it would've been nice if it stayed upright so you could see the submarine, though it may just have been my particular submarine.
This ballistic is very similar to Rocket Science in terms of the scent disappearing after it dissolved which, again was a little disappointing. The scent doesn't really linger on the skin either nor did my skin feel particularly refreshed and clean afterwards which I would usually expect with a bomb that smells like this one.
On the positive side it spouts a lovely mix of pink and yellow reminding me of one of my favourite bath bombs, Never Mind the Ballistics, however it does leave the bath a bit of a gross yellow (what your grandma would call 'pee yellow'). It's very very cute but I don't think the novelty and colours were enough to make me love it.
I probably
wouldn't buy this again as it was still quite an expensive ballistic and the
scent doesn't linger, I would definitely recommend Rocket Science instead as
it's a similar smell, gives a great show and is much cheaper!
Overall I'd
give this fizzer a 3.5 out of 5.
Thanks for
reading, speak soon!
