Aye mateys, I purchased this pearl from a Lush Christmas party and popped it in the bath a few days afterwards, just to see what a bomb was like at full potency. I used the whole thing since it’s about half the size of a normal bomb. It was a little stronger than the others I’d tried. Upon hitting the water the bomb released a grey cloud which shortly turned the water grey, and formed a grey ring around the tub. The surface of the water was beautifully sparkely and, well, oily, and smelled unexpectedly of berries. Inside was a paper fortune (a “pearl of wisdom” if you will) that said something like “Six steps back, seven steps forward” and now I can’t get Paula Abdul out of my head.
