First of all, can we just admire how beautiful this bubble bar is? The look of this product alone should make you want to buy it, with it rich, dark purple pyramid with a splash of orange around the middle and a glittery, golden melt top. Just...Wow...
I first used this product on January 7th, 2016... I was a bit late to join the Lushie community (but I'm here now!). No, I don't remember this date because of my 'awesome' memory, I referred to my personal Instagram account because I remembered that I took a picture of it and was so in awe, that I had to post the picture.
Anyway... Karma bubble bar... If you're a massive fan of the Karma scent family then this bubble bar is going to be heaven for you, if you're not familiar with the Karma aroma then you still need to check out this bubble bar because the smell is not overpowering but is still there enough to make you want to devour it.
Karma bubble bar is made up of six key oils: patchouli oil, sweet orange oil, lavendin oil, pine oil, lemongrass oil and elemi oil. Patchouli is a herb that belongs to the mint family but instead of having a mint scent, it has an earthy, woodland aroma that is used in aromatherapy for relaxation and uplifting effect of the mind.
Lavendin oil is a stronger version of lavender; it has the same properties as lavender: it's soothing, calming and healing. Lavendin oil also has a stronger scent that lavender. If you're not a fan of lavender, don't worry! You can only smell a slight hint of it in the Karma bubble bar.
Pine oil has a very fresh, woodland aroma (like patchouli) and is used for it's cleansing properties and it's soothing and calming effect on the mind. This is probably why Karma is such a popular scent in the Lush community because, all of the ingredients are steered towards making you calm and relaxed, making sure that your mind is made to feel free of any stress and that the woody, citrusy aroma of Karma is just so damn good!
For Lush's bubble bars, I used to crumble them underneath the tap like Lush recommend, but I found that a lot of residue from the bars would settle at the bottom of my bath which wasn't nice. Now, I place the bubble bar in a sieve and I hold the sieve underneath the hot water so that every single crumb of the bubble bar is used to create bubbles and a magical bathing experience. I have found that this method works very very well.
For its size, Karma didn't take long to disintegrate. I was probably holding the sieve under the water for about four minutes. This was actually quite impressive because The Modfather bubble bar is very small in size but took about seven minutes to disintegrate. So that was the first thing that impressed me about Karma bubble bar.
The second thing that instantly impressed me was the number of bubbles. After those four minutes, Karma had left me a mountain of bubbles. I couldn't believe it! There were so many!
The smell was perfect as well. I am slowly learning to love the Karma scent more and more (however, I still think that the Karma perfume is way too strong for my liking!) and the bubble bar - with its mix of citrusy and earthy aromas is heaven. You can smell Karma straight away and whilst you're bathing in its waters, it instantly puts your mind at ease so that you can relax.
The bubble bar creates a deep, purple colour which I think is the thing that makes this one of my top five bubble bars from Lush. The colour is just... I don't even know how to describe how gorgeous it is. The pictures here don't even do it justice.
The golden tip n the top of the bubble bar is pure, golden oil to make sure that the bath is also moisturising. It makes the water slightly shimmery, but not enough to put you off or leave glitter residue on your body and in your bath once you've drained the water. Karma bubble bar is very moisturising. Whilst I was reading my book in the bath, every 15 minutes or so, I had to keep stroking my arm because I was amazed by how smooth my skin felt.
I was very disappointed when I had to get out of the bath but the scent of the bubble bar followed me around for a good hour and it had made the bathroom smell amazing so at least I had a tiny bit of it still with me.
I cannot wait to use this bubble bar again. Even though it's in the year-round stock, I have about ten of these in my box because I just can't get enough of it.
Karma bubble bar is perfect.
