Citrus Are Doing It For Themselves

Mother's Day 2018 marked a new era for Lush product design.  The new 3-D printed mold soaps, the frivolous design of the Mum, Look What I've Made For You bath bomb, among others, has really shown us a new side of Lush.  One of these paradigm-changing products seems to be the Marbled Bubbleroons.  Notably, the loudest voices at the time of the first leaked pictures of them all said they were a departure from Lush style and not what a true Lush fan would want. However, those voices quickly found that they had stuck their feet in the mouth as the popularity of most of the Mother's Day range has been tremendous.

Citrus Are Doing It For Themselves 

Here is one of these new-style products, The Citrus Are Doing It For Themselves Bubbleroon.  Inspiring and uplifting, this citrus scented (obviously) product will put a pep in your step after a much-needed soak. This is another of many products that Lush has canonized into their pantheon of citrus smells.  It is understandable why they always come back to citrus, it smells good but come on... there are so many more smells.

Made with lemon, grapefruit, lime and lemon myrtle oils this is a product that is tangier than it is sweet.  Having said that, it is not a scent that is too tangy or acidic, rather it falls lovingly into the lap of 'moderately citrus and hard to dislike.'  If it could be compared to another Lush scent, it is less acidic than Back For Breakfast shower gel but less sweet than Cheer Up Buttercup bath bomb.

Like any bubbleroon, this one is made with two pieces of bubble bar sandwiching a thick layer of luxurious murumuru butter and shea butter.  The reddish-orange color of this bubbleroon is not too special and is not something uncommon on the Lush store shelves. Citrus Are Doing It For Themselves is, decidedly, the most boring of the bubbleroon offerings in this range.

The color of this bubbleroon translates to the water well and leaves the bather with a bright coral.  Plus, the addition of all of the extra kinds of butter in Citrus Are Doing It For Themselves will make it a very moisturizing bath. If you are looking for a bright orange-red bath, this little bubble stack can surely provide.

The marbling part of this product comes from the potentially beautiful piece of art on top of the bubbleroon.  It is made by dipping the top of the completed bubble sandwich into a cornstarch mixture after dripping some red and orange coloring into the bowl holding the mixture.  As this mixture is made very much so, by hand, it really does leave a lot of room for artistic potential and, on the other hand, a chance for the ugly monster to slip in.  So far, Lady Bubble and Lord Fizz have bought two of these bubble bars and none of them have been as beautiful as the ones shown on the websites.

This is not a bad product but is one that we could only partially recommend.  Sure, it smells nice and is a great bath-moisturizer but it is not the most exciting of products or the most beautiful either. Word of caution to the savvy shopper though, check your marbling before you buy or you could end up with a plain smear of orange on top of your Citrus Are Doing It For Themselves.
