Big Blue got a mixed reaction from me. I had high hopes because of its lavender scent base, and the promise of skin softening magic properties had me eager to use it. Once I dropped it in the bath, though… Houston, we had a problem.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS.
Creepy looking giant microbe thing, that’s what it is. And those little sticks? That’s seaweed. Bookoos of floppy, gooey, wormy-looking seaweed being released into the bath. Imagine it’s summertime in the neighborhood, and there’s one of those nice little plastic kiddie pools, full of fresh water from the hose… and here comes little Johnny, running through the grassy yard and splashing his dirty, grassy feet all up in that water. Who wants to swim in the muddy grassy water? No one.

And I certainly don’t want to bathe in it. The little pieces of seaweed were such an offputting texture (see: WORMS) that I got out of the bath fairly quickly.
Was my skin softened? Yes. Even after the short time I spent in the bath before being completely grossed out by seaweed, there was a noticeable difference. The scent was slightly boyish for my taste (damn you, lemongrass), but definitely not unpleasant.
Verdict: Get it if you want some mega skin softening, since I imagine bathing in it for longer than 5 minutes as I did will result in some super-buttery excellent skin. Stick the bomb in a recycled piece of nylon stocking before dropping it in, and you won’t have to deal with seaweed wormies… or cleaning them out of your drain and tub later, which was awful.
