I have so many of these posts to share with you! The problem is, since moving into my gorgeous new flat, finally having a bath has quickly made me develop an obsession with Lush bath bombs. To the point at which I have a fruit bowl in my bathroom filled with ballistics rather than bananas!
Well, this week, I'm finally going to share my thoughts on the valentines limited edition Love Locket. I've actually had two of these now as the first one was so pretty & so exciting, that I didn't even realise you were supposed to smash the outer heart to get the miniature inside. whoops #EagerBeaver
Firstly, the Love Locket smelt incredible, containing Jasmine, Gardenia, Vanilla and Neroli Oil. It's quite sweet, but not overbearingly so. I also noticed that the scent lingered in my bathroom for a good couple of hours after I had bathed, which is great when you live with a smelly boy!
You may be surprised to find too, that this bomb can be used more than once. After reading other reviews it became apparent that this bomb was not suitable to be cut in half with a knife as recommended, so instead I opted for the smash & grab technique, laying down the paper bag it came in & dropping it from a height. The result was utter carnage, but it did reveal a perfectly formed second heart, so I was pleased.. Even if my bathroom looked like a pink sand bomb had gone off!
So, Your options are, to use the smashed outer first & most can stretch this to two lightly scented baths, saving the second heart for another day. & If you manage to get 3 baths out of this one bath bomb it works out at a modest £2.31 each... Or if you're reckless like me, just throw it all in together to get a super scented bath!
I think my only niggle about this bomb would be the confetti hearts. I enjoyed the overall pink colour, but my hearts decided to sink to the bottom far too quickly, so the effect was a little lost on me. I mean, it's nice to look at when your standing over your bath & taking photos, but I want to get in it, not just look at it!
However, saying that, I did leave this bath with gorgeously soft skin, thanks to the Love Lockets essential oils. So, you win some, you loose some.
Overall I think I'd rate this one 4/5. Loved the smell, loved the idea of the concealed heart & the fact this can be used up to 3 times. But the confetti hearts let it down for me. I think I'd have preferred a bomb with more colour mixing like Space girl, maybe some creamy whites, pinks and oranges would have been a little more special than sludgy sinking paper.

Have you tried the Love Locket?
I love the sound of the Love Locket bath bomb! The idea of having a smaller second heart inside is genius and it looks so pretty too!

It does smell incredible chick! They do them quite a lot with the extra bomb in the centre, it's such a treat being able to break it in half & find the surprise!

I still have mine left from Valentines Day. Think I might have to use it tonight. Obviously recklessly. I can't do the whole wait for 3 nights haha.
