Butterball.

The Butterball bath bomb was the first thing I tried from my Christmas haul… I hate to say it, but I’m kind of disappointed! When they say “butterball”, they certainly mean it. Lush’s website describes it as “anything but boring when you lay back into a cozy white blanket of creamy buttery froth”. Let’s break it down.
1. Actually, it IS pretty boring. No fizzing, popping, crackling, color changing, bubbling, or bursting of confetti as Lush’s products are wont to do.
2. I got no cozy white blanket of creamy buttery froth. What I DID get was a bathtub full of water with yellowy oil droplets floating on top. It pretty much looked like dishwater after washing a greasy pan.
3. It’s small. I feel like I have set myself up for continuous disappointment with Lush’s smaller bath bombs due to the size of my garden tub.
Those things aside, Butterball has a really nice vanilla scent; not a fake sickly vanilla scent, but the kind of warm vanilla smell you get from freshly baked cake. It’s not overpowering and lingers a long time on your skin; I could smell it faintly on myself well into the next day. If you don’t mind an oily bath and the residue feeling on your skin, you will NOT be disappointed by its moisturizing powers. My skin felt AMAZING.
Want something for moisturizing dry winter skin? Definitely get this.
