As a big fan of bath bombs and especially the ones from Lush, I was so excited at Christmas time last year when a trip to London meant that I could pick up one of the giant Golden Wonder bath bombs from the Oxford Street store! Although it did mean that we had to carry it around with us for the rest of the day!!!
I had previously tried a normal size Golden Wonder bath bomb and absolutely loved it, so when I heard that they were bringing out a giant version I knew that it was something that I had to get. The size comparison between the two is amazing and I couldn't wait to see how it reacted. As an example to try and show the size difference, I found a photo that I took of the usual size version from last year. It definitely lived up to the name 'giant'.
Golden Wonder bath bombs are usually available from Lush around Christmas time and are shaped to look like a wrapped present. It is advertised as including cognac, sweet orange and lime.
Somehow nearly 9 months had passed since I picked it up and finally decided that it was time to try it out. I used a little Lush Lord of Misrule shower cream with the bath (as I had done previously) and kept hoping that I hadn't left it too long and that it would still work!
I slowly placed it into the water and instantly it started to fizz and bubble and I knew I was in luck. I didn't have to wait long and the water was instantly starting to shimmer with gold glitter, followed shortly by the usual green/blue colours of Golden Wonder.
The bath bomb took much longer to dissolve, however that is to be expected as it is a giant version. The green/blue colours are absolutely amazing with the addition of elements of pink and yellow.
Once the majority had dissolved, you are left with a gorgeous white bow which continues to fizz until fully dissolved. You then have the most amazingly green bath water which glistens and shimmers with gold glitter. I did start to worry about the amount of glitter and whether I was going to look like I had been in a glitter explosion but surprisingly I wasn't as covered as I thought I would be!

If you ever get the chance to try a giant Lush bath bomb (especially Golden Wonder), do it, you won't be left disappointed.
