Honey Bee bath bomb review: "you got a sweet tooth?"

Honey Bee (£3.35) is a lovely yellow coloured bath bomb with brown waves/circles through it's design.  One of Lush's sweeter bath bombs due to its yummy honey fragrance.  And since it contains honey, this makes it a vegetarian bath bomb - not vegan.

Honey Bee gives a pleasant bath experience fizzing away and turning your bath water yellow.  In between popping this into your bath and it disappearing, the bath bomb contains little chunks of honey and rhassoul mud which come away like seaweed from Big Blue.  Other than this, there isn't anything overly exciting with Honey Bee.  It has no rainbow magic (colour changes) and with a lack of Cream of Tartar the bath bomb fizzes quite quickly like Avobath.  It smells so sweet and very much like the rest of Lush's honey products.  It isn't as strong as the soap, shower gel or shampoo bar, but it is a part of that scent group.  Honeylicious.  This is for anyone who has a sweet tooth and cannot get enough of honey love.  So, you got a sweet tooth? 

The benefit of Honey Bee comes from the Aloe Vera Gel and Honey within.   Honey is both moisturising and antiseptic.  It also contains antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-fungal properties and has the ability to attract and retain moisture.  And if this didn't make Honey Bee good enough for skin, the addition of Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Vera Extract make it a delight.  Aloe soothes itching and is good in calming sunburn or redness caused by the cold.  It softens the skin and helps to protect it.

I tend to buy this time to time rather than religiously like Avobath.  Personally, I don't find it as good as Avobath in how well it conditions the skin and I much prefer the smell of Avobath too.  I'm a massive fan of the Honey product line with Lush but the bath bomb isn't the greatest one on offer, in my opinion.  I use this on an odd Sunday afternoon every month or so.  I find it gives a relaxing bath and leaves you with soft skin rather than moisturised skin.  I do recommend Honey Bee to anyone who hasn't tried it to form your own opinion but anyone who doesn't like the Honey line (Honey I Washed my Hair, It's Raining Men...)  I think it would be best to venture other bath bombs.  And if you're a fan of the Honey line up then give this little honey a pop.  Everyone has their favourite bath bomb and this may be yours!
