LUSH Cobweb Bath Bomb Review

I'm not a huge bath bomb lover, but I was totally sucked into buying LUSH Cobweb Bath Bomb at a recent LUSH event and I am sure glad that I did.

I bought Cobweb without having any idea what it smelled like, just based solely on the fact that it's a Halloween product (I LOVE Halloween) and it has a cute spider web shape.

I had heard that it smells just like LUSH's Black Pearl bath bomb which a lot of people don't like. And that it, obviously, turns the water a dull grey color which is not very visually appealing.

Still, I had to give it a try, so I ordered it.  And yesterday was its lucky day. I had spent the majority of the day outside and needed a hot bath to take away that chilled to the bone feeling.  So I ran a hot bath, got in, and dropped Cobweb in with me.  Well I don't know if it's because of it's disklike shape or whether Black Pearl does the same, but Cobweb fizzed like crazy!  It fizzed and rolled around the tub for a few minutes before it completely dissolved, leaving the water a dull grey color.

This being the Halloween season, the grey didn't bother me too much as I just thought about it being angry sea water.  But what I really loved was the scent.  Cobweb is loaded with lavender, chamomile, and a touch of black currant for sweetness.  I don't normally like black currant as it tends to smell like cat pee to me, but they got the mix of scents just right with this bomb and I'll be getting a few more Cobwebs to enjoy in November.

The only disappointing thing about Cobweb is that I feel LUSH dropped the ball on making this one a little more fun.  Sure, it's a cute Halloween shape, but it would have been even better if there was a little plastic spider tucked inside as a surprise.
