Review: LUSH Dreamtime Bath Melt.

It had come to that time again where I felt like I needed my Lush fix, so I popped in to my local store and picked up the Dreamtime Bath Melt, as I had never tried a bath melt from Lush before and I loved the lavender scent of this one. I often have a bit of trouble sleeping at night too, so I was hoping this would help me out since as the name suggests, this was made to help you doze off.

 Lush Dreamtime Bath Melt
 
The Dreamtime Bath Melt comes as a solid block of oils, including Lavender oil, Almond Oil, Ginger Oil, Sandalwood Oil and Chamomile Blue Oil. It definitely smells prominently of lavender, with a little hint of some of the other ingredients. Because the main ingredients are oils, the block starts to melt as soon as you pick it up.

This is quite a small bath melt so I threw the whole thing in my bath, however I do think you could break it in half and get two baths out of it. It melted quite quickly and whilst it didn't change the colour of the water, it made it cloudy with bits of dried Jasmine flower floating around, which personally didn't bother me but it may not be everybody's cup of tea.
Disappointedly, it didn't make my bath water feel as "soft" as the past Lush bath products I have tried did, which I thought it would as it is full of oils. I also thought the fragrance would still be quite strong but it became a lot milder. However, the bath melt did make me feel very relaxed, as I would expect from a product containing lavender, and I was definitely ready for bed after using this!


Although I can't knock this bath melt for living up to its name and doing what it was made to do, I don't think I would repurchase it again as I wasn't that impressed with it; it wasn't as moisturising or smelly as I was expecting. That being said, I think I need to try out some more bath melts to compare them so I think I will be heading off to Lush to pick up some more soon!

If you would like to try the Dreamtime Bath Melt, you can pick it up from Lush for £2.95.

Have you tried this bath melt? Which is your favourite Lush Bath Melt?

  4. I have never bought a bath melt, but always pick them up and think they have a smell and they do smell amazing, but it's not good if that doesn't transfer.

    1. I know :( I'll still try the other melts first before I decide if I think they're any good or not though :) bath ballistics are my favourite at the moment though! x

  6. It's so disappointing to come across a product that doesn't really live up to your expectations. I experienced it earlier this morning with the Lush Porridge soap, waaay to sweet for me but these things happen.
