Last week I popped into LUSH to get my son a bath bomb, as you do (yes, I go to LUSH to get my 19 month old bath stuff, I'm one of those mothers...). I saw Butterbear on the LUSH website and thought it would be so sweet for my sons bath time as he's been having a hard time with his bath time lately due to not wanting to get his hair washed and I just wanted him to have something fun to pop in the bath to let him know it was okay and could be a fun experience for him. Butterbear is part of the new Christmas range and resembles a little polar bear. I have to admit I was expecting fantastic things from this product but was left feeling quite overwhelmed, thankfully it was for my son and he didn't take any notice, his bath was lacking in bubbles for once though. Butterbear is infused with cocoa butter and a vanilla-like scent which is quite pleasant. I ran this under the tap in the bath and crumbled straight away but didn't make any bubbles or turn the water any fantastic colour, it just left it looking cloudy if I'm honest. Butterbear has little pods of cocoa butter throughout which melt into the warm bath.
The scent of Butterbear is lovely though and does linger on the skin after a bath, this is something which I love when it comes to bath products. It left my sons skin feeling baby soft and nourished which is great as the colder months are setting in now and his legs and arms can tend to get quite dry. Summing up I can honestly say that for me Butterbear isn't the most exciting of LUSH products for me. It doesn't look particularly amazing and doesn't 'put on a show in the bath' but it is great for the skin and the scent is nice. The words which come to mind when I think of how to describe Butterbear are - mild, gentle and soft which I think sums up a teddy bear shaped bath bomb quite well! This is a lovely product for the little ones in your life or if your skin is quite dry and you want something nourishing. For just €2.50 you can't really go wrong and I think I might pick my son up one or two more Butterbears for future bath times.
Have you tried Butterbear? If so, what were your thoughts?
I've never tried the butterbear bomb, but I do love a Lush bath bomb! I'm with you, though--the ones with the fizzles, bubbles, confetti, or colors make bath a lot more exciting than the ones that just crumble!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried this one yet! Love Lush so much, makes my skin feel SO smooth.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a butterbear bomb, or a Lush bath bomb for that matter, but you made me want to get one! Next time I'm passing a Lush store in the mall, I think I may just stop in!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried anything from Lush... shocker I know! I really want to though:)
ReplyDeleteI have actually never tried Lush. Sounds heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI have actually never tried Lush. It sounds heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Lush or Butterbear, but both sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a Lush bomb! I so need to!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of LUSH - my favorite bath bomb is Lust (although that's pretty much the opposite of a teddy bear bath bomb...)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try out new stuff but unfortunately we are stuck with aveeno bath since the age of 3 months due to eczema.
ReplyDeletedid you have issues after having to clean the tub? i've used one bath bomb and after that.. i never bought another one. people tell me that i should use it whenever i am staying in a hotel so i don't have to do a thorough tub cleaning. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them. I bet your son loved the change though!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a butterbear but I do agree that for kids it would be better if it did something like bubbles or change colors
ReplyDeleteI too haven't heard of Lush but I'm looking for new soaps for myself so I might check that out. My kids I. The other hand have super sensitive skin so I stick to the same stuff
ReplyDeleteI just bought my first lush product today. Our store just opened recently and it is incredible!! I got a gold glittery pumpkin bath crumble-thing. <3
ReplyDeleteThat has got to be the cutest thing ever... why have I never been to a Lush before??
ReplyDeleteThese bombs are so cute! I want a few for my guest bathroom!
ReplyDeleteI love lush bath bombs. I don't even like baths, but I take them just to use the lush products! I have spent more money than I am willing to admit on them.
ReplyDeletethis is adorable! looks delicious for the skin! =)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one that uses LUSH products in my sons bath! It's a shame this one wasn't so great, it looks like a lovely idea with it being a bear, but lots of bubbles are a must with my son. I find the comforter really god for this!

Okay this is the cutest and these products seem so great! I'm going to have to find some for my son, he absolutely loves bath time!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely adorable! I love using bath bombs in the bath!
ReplyDeleteLove LUSH! I haven't tried anything for my boys, but they'd love the bear, but I may need to let them have a bomb or fizzle for a little more fun!
ReplyDeleteI love lush but have never tried this little guy! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis Butterbear is super cute! I would love to have a few of these!
ReplyDeleteAwww what's the point if it doesn't turn a pretty color or make bubbles? It's not like babies care about smelling like vanilla lol. I'm with you I wouldn't be that impressed either.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this one yet, I'll have to keep an eye out for him. I do love some butterball though.
ReplyDeleteI kid you not I have a trip to Lush planned this weekend! I'll have to pick this little cutie up!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I need to pick one of these up next time I'm in Lush, my son would love it!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I've yet to try LUSH but have heard some great things!
ReplyDeleteHow much do I love Lush? They have amazing products. I have a few bath bombs waiting for me. I pull them out when it's been a long day with the babies. :)
