After a marathon session of watching NFL playoff games with Mr. Lovey today, I decided that I needed to unwind. We love football, but too much can be stressful! Inspired by Getting Cheeky's weekend pampering and Beauty Reductionista's LUSH Golden Wonder bath bomb posts from today, I decided to indulge in a bath.
My bath bomb of choice was LUSH Sex Bomb. You can see the 'detonated' version above. It smells of beautiful jasmine, sage, and ylang ylang. I really love how it turns the water a rose pink. I haven't tried all the LUSH bath bombs yet, but this is my favorite so far. I had a really long and relaxing soak
After my bath, I followed up with a few items to pamper myself. I used a sample of Philosophy one minute microdelivery purifying peel. Afterwards I applied Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum and Avalon Organics Vitamin C serum. The Vitamin C serum is a current stand in for a face cream. When my skin isn't happy with other skincare products I'll stick with this serum; it always seems to do the trick. I used my Revlon lip butter in Strawberry Shortcake (reviewed here) for a fresh pink pout. I applied J.R. Watkins Mango Hand and Cuticle salve to seal in moisture to my hands which have been suffering from dryness lately. Finally, I gave myself a quick manicure with OPI Bubble Bath nail polish. The name is fitting, don't you think?
Thanks for reading about my Sunday Soak! I hope everyone had a good weekend too. What are your favorite bath bombs or bubble baths?
:Love, Dovey.
The sex bomb looks interesting. I'd love to try.
ReplyDeleteIf you've never tried a bath bomb, I would recommend sniffing SB first!
DeleteI love bath bombs!
ReplyDeleteMe too :)
Deleteooh, you've inspired me to have a pampering evening myself now!! I love bath bombs too, my favourite one is an avocado one from Lush.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Pampering is highly recommended. I think you are talking about Avobath? I might have one of those in my stash. I will check now!
Deletesex bomb is one of my favorites! I love the way it smells :D I really want to try the avalon organics products - a lot of people seem to really like them! Where can you find them?
ReplyDeleteHehe-- pink and girly. Perfect, right? I've seen Avalon in a number of places including Target and regular drugstores (I think...) and sometimes some health food stores.
DeleteI want a bath bomb now !! I love that pic !
ReplyDeleteThank you tasha!
DeleteWe're sending a stampede over to Lush, Dovey!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to get myself this bomb as well. It looks so lovely in the bath! Glad you got to enjoy some self-pampering. =)
*High Five* Thanks for the inspiration. I hadn't taken a LUSH bath in a really really long time!
DeleteOooh your idea sounds even better than my own! I've been completely out of Lush products for a shamefully lengthy period of time now, and I think it's high time I stock up again!

Hi Jessica- thank you for spreading the relaxation! I hope I remember to do this next weekend too. I could use a trip to LUSH too :)
DeleteAhhh, you and Liz are killing me :P Okay, I need one of these stupid bombs. I rarely (if ever!) take baths, but the idea of a long soak with steaming hot water and a glass of wine sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I didn't think of the glass of wine. I should consider that next time :)
DeleteI cannot remember the last time I took in a soak! My daughter, on the other hand 3x/wk.
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely and relaxing!
Awww! Well, at least one of the girls is getting her bath :)
Deletethe avalon vitamin C is my favorite, too.
ReplyDeletei like to wear this under my sunscreen since anti-oxidants boost up the protection, but it also makes skin look soft and radiant. probably the only vitamin c product that doesn't irritate my skin but performs well.
thanks for sharing.
what a nice way to unwind! :)
Hi Lena! I didn't know about antioxidants and sunscreen! I do think you are right about the radiance-- somehow Vitamin C products seem to make my skin every so slightly more glowy
Deleteyay for pampering!
ReplyDeletemy favorite lush bomb is the avobomb - gorgeous scent and nice moisture too. i also like so white, and the golden wonder was really cool! i agree the scent for sex bomb is awesome! :)
Hi Joyce! It sounds like you're a LUSH veteran! Now I really need to try Avobomb sometime after yours and Penelope's review
