annandatje Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Being an ardent fan of pricy Lush brand bath bombs, I am looking to save money by making my own. Essential oils provide the scent in the bombs. It has been years since I have purchased essential oils. What brand do you recommend and where do you buy them? Not that it matters, but I have no interest in alleged healing properties of oils or in aromatherapy. Just looking for a nice smelling relaxing bath product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IfIOnly Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I buy Now EO. They're cheap and steam distilled (not chemically extracted). They smell great to me too. I love lavender in my bath. It's pretty much my favorite and most used. Lemon grass is nice too. I like to combine it with spearmint or sage for my husband when treating him to a nice bath. ETA: Lavender and vanilla is a nice combo, but the vanilla is going to be a fragrance oil and not an essential oil (they have them but they're not strong, no matter the brand, I've found) and natural ETA: I forgot! I love cedarwood too. And sage and lavender is nice together too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annandatje Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 I googled DIY Lush bath bombs. Still have to buy the essential oils and citric acid, but I have everything else. Here are recipes I am going to try: http://www.rookiemag.com/2012/05/how-to-make-a-homemade-bath-bomb/ http://www.everythingetsy.com/2014/05/diy-lush-inspired-bath-bombs/ http://fitnessista.com/2013/04/diy-bath-bombs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annandatje Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Freckles, one of my daughters introduced me to Lush. The first couple times she asked if I wanted to try bath bomb, I declined because I am a fast shower type person and not one who is prone to indulge in luxury products. Finally I relented and was immediately hooked. Avobath, Twilight and Sex Bomb are my favorite bath bombs. Recently I ordered one of all their perfumes except Vanillary. Karma is my absolute favorite with Sikkim Girls second and Dirty third. Sun smells like a freshly cut orange but scent does not last long.
