Phoenix Rising.

The Phoenix Rising bath bomb was, very appropriately, my first Lush product of the new year… I’m in love.
You drop it into your tub and it sinks to the bottom. Your water turns a bright pink-magenta. As it dissolves, your water changes to a dark indigo and the bath bomb slowly rises to the top (how symbolic!). There is even a little dusting of gold dust floating through your bath. It is probably the most visually pleasing Lush product I’ve used so far! The only thing I didn’t really like was the cinnamon stick that breaks away from it and floats around in your bath… mine was broken, so I was fishing little cinnamon splinters out of my water.
And the SMELL. Oh, my god, the scent. It’s this magical, heady, apple-and-spice heavenly concoction that makes you feel like you’re swimming in a giant bowl of Christmas spiced cider (the water color helps with this illusion). I nestled myself down into this bath and stayed in until the water started to get cool, something I don’t normally do, because I enjoyed the experience THAT much. I even kept the cinnamon pieces on the side of my tub. This was the PERFECT bath bomb after a hard day of overtime. I’m a nurse, so a sore body is a common ailment; with cinnamon as a wonderful natural stimulant, I felt completely revitalized after bathing with Phoenix Rising.
I’ll definitely be buying this again, and you should, too!
