But then I saw the Japanese-themed bath bombs.
I'm a bit of an shinnichi, so I was ecstatic when I saw these bath bombs! However, there are three that I'm especially fascinated by.
Lucky Cat
Feelin' lucky? This pink kitty beckons you to the bath with its botanical scent. Fizzing fast into fluffy fuchsia waters, Lucky Cat's multi-colored stars burst from the center, waving in good fortune and leaving you feline fine. With a classic, botanical blend of jasmine absolute, neroli and ylang ylang, this is one fresh and floral kitty that'll leave you feeling brand mew.Even though it's cute and I'm sure the fragrance is lovely, I feel that the color(s) and floral aroma for this kitty is a little unexpected. For the name "Lucky Cat", it would've been nice to have a gold, white and gold, or white and brown calico-colored bath bomb with a sweet, earthy fragrance. Maybe a frankincense and vanilla blend with cinnamon, sandalwood, or ylang ylang.
I'll still buy it as is though. Pink is my favorite color and I love cats!
Harajuku
Soak it up Harajuku style and get lost in a kaleidoscope of scent and color. Full of bubblegum sweetness, this candied bath bomb blends punchy Brazilian orange oil with balsamic benzoin resinoid and sugary vanilla. Step out the water and into the light with a bubble pop electric fragrance that lingers on your skin long after your bath.Now this one is a little bit more expected. It's bright and it's described as smelling sweet. Of course, it's easy to criticize this bath bomb for just two primary colors, especially considering the wide range of colors (and styles!) of Harajuku fashion; however, considering how much shade I've seen The Experimenter get, I think this design was for the best.
Who knows? Maybe the idea of a Harajuku-themed line of bath bombs can be expanded upon, even if it's just exclusive to the Harajuku store in Japan.
Sushi
When your skin needs some sustenance, roll into the tub with this fizzer for a creamy, uplifting soak. Sink into soothing, opaque waters while the zesty Brazilian orange and Sicilian red mandarin oil work their wonders on your tired senses. A moisturizing middle sits in the center of this bomb, ready to bestow rich hydration for a silky-soft feeling all over.Now when I think of sushi, "citrus" doesn't immediately come to mind. I think a green tea scent would've been nice. Plus, it would have been nice if this bath bomb was wrapped in seaweed or even had seaweed pieces inside like a few of the others. I also can't help but wonder what the "moisturizing middle" is made of. The ingredients don't point to any butters or carrier oils.
I think this one would pair nicely with Seaweed Giant Bombshell.
So what are your favorite new bath bombs? What criticisms do you have with this latest batch? What would you like to see in the future? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Until next time.
Love,
Monique ❤️
