Lush Voyage: Frozen bath bomb review: "Like a warm hug in the tub"

Since November 2013 Disney's Frozen has taken over the world in more ways than one. It has gone on to dominate sales and marketing, winning Disney it's first ever animated feature film Academy Award and has become the most successful animated movie ever made. Never mind capturing children (of all ages) hearts. With all of this to Frozen and Disney's name, it still came as a surprise to many Lushies that one of the new bath bombs exclusively released in the Oxford Street store was inspired by Frozen. What inspired Jack to make Frozen I'm not actually sure of, but this two-toned blue bath bomb is a rather exciting addition to the new bath bomb line up, and it is everything any Disney fan could ever want from Lush.

I think the fragrance of Frozen really took everyone by surprise as well. Arguably I'd say this was the one bath bomb everyone was trying to predict the smell of and more or less got it wrong. So wrong. I believed this would either be chocolate or extremely floral like Secret Garden. And I was also wrong. Frozen is a bath bomb with a sweet and light citrus background due to the presence of Neroli Oil and Grapefruit Oil. Neroli provides a really light floral and sweet smell when you first sniff the bath bomb which is then balanced by the bitter note of Grapefruit. And together they make a perfect fragrance but I find Neroli is the most prominent note. In actual fact, you can smell this for yourself. Next time you're in Lush have a little sniff at Happy Happy Joy Joy hair conditioner and then you'll know what Frozen smells like. The fragrance lasts throughout the bath and will leave a discreet aroma on the skin but sadly it doesn't linger long.

What I liked most about this bath bomb was it's true reflection to key elements of the Frozen hit. Whether it's compared to Arendale's ice business, the eternal winter, Elsa's empowering transformation or love concurs all - Frozen's got it all. When I dropped this bath bomb into the bath it immediately took action and released a long royal blue spiral whilst the outer shell slowly showed a soft white to pale blue base. And the bath colour outcome can't be described as anything less as mermaid water. Frozen is going to give fans of Mermaid Water diversity since it pretty much rocks that design in silver instead of gold. Frozen reminded me of the credits at the end of the movie where all the different snowflakes fall because of how shimmery the water is.

But even more so, the design of this shimmer glittery water makes me think of a snowstorm, particularly when Elsa was having a blast, finding herself and letting it all go! Frozen took roughly 8 - 10 minutes to fizz away entirely.

I recommend this bath bomb to everyone. I recommend it to the person debating what bath bomb they should use before bed, I recommend it to the little boy or girl who's Frozen obsessed and I definitely recommend it to someone who's going out for the night. This is either going to be the best or worst quality of Frozen, but it leaves you sparkling from head to toe. After stepping out of a bath with this snowflake, you'll be ready to be the belle of the ball. I'd say its more like Snow Fairy's Angel massage bar than Golden Egg's glitter outcome. And I was just as sparkly the next day from using Frozen! Although this isn't a moisturising bath bomb like Lava Lamp, it does soften your skin and ease your troubles. If you use it before bed it will relax you and help you drift off to dreamland effortlessly. Therefore I'd definitely say this is more aromatherapy based than actually skin benefiting.

Like a warm hug in the tub, Frozen is going to be a ground breaking bath bomb for Lush and I'll tell you why. For any person out there that absolutely hates the movie, has never seen it or is traumatized by how many times they see or hear anything regarding Frozen - they can take solace in this. Frozen will comfort you and bring your mood up nine levels higher than it was before. This will be your guilty pleasure.
For any person out there that is Frozen obsessed, Kristoff and Anna shippers, Elsa admirers and Olaf crazy then this bath bomb will only fuel your passion even more and help you get your vocal chords ready for the big power ballad.
A bath bomb suitable for all ages - c'mon let's just get that out the way because it's true - and perfect for any time of the year. I can't wait for winter to come and to use this little sparkler with a cup of hot chocolate in my Elsa mug. But it's also the perfect spring and summer bath bomb too. I will buy this again and again, and every time I bath I'll be humming Let It Go.
