This bath bomb used to be for only those in the know. Hidden away in Lush's website, this was an Easter Egg for savvy shoppers to find and enjoy. Error 404 is normally used when a page or website can't be find, a nice little nod to the fact that the bath bomb is not meant to exist and Easter Eggs are used in the gaming community as an inside joke and have spread to movies and tv shows as well. I believe I read somewhere that it was inspired by Ridley Scott's Alien film and the alien eggs? Not actually seen the film but from the film poster, I can see where the idea might have come from and the back design might have been inspired by an early games designer, Atari, who first used Easter Eggs in their games.
The outside of this egg is dusted with a bronze lustre that might put off some people and although it does transfer to your fingers whilst you move it, it doesn't leave any stain around the bath edge so it should not put you off and it is easy to wash off your hands.
About the size of the Golden Egg Ballistic that is released around Easter, this bath bomb spews out blueish/green foam that transforms the bath to a beautiful turquoise colour in the end with a slight shimmer provided by the lustre. Although quite a potent, but not unpleasant, perfume in it's solid form, it is not especially strong smelling when in the bath tub and it was quite a subtle scent when it had dried on my skin but it didn't last that long which was unfortunate. On the plus side, the bath water was silky smooth.
Although this is a lovely bath bomb, I'm not sure whether I would repurchase this as it didn't exactly blow me away so I don't know whether I just had quite high expectations that weren't met or what. I do have 2 more so I shall give it another go!
