This new Harry Potter bath bomb is not quite what we were expecting

A few months ago, we were only delighted by the idea of this Harry Potter themed bath bomb that told you what house you belonged in once it hit the water.

It sounded fantastic, and we were very excited. Now, handmade cosmetics chain Lush have gone and launched their own Harry Potter bath bomb and, to be honest, it's not what we were expecting. Lush's latest product is the 'Jelly Bomb' which, you guessed it, turns your bath water into jelly. And they've got a Harry Potter themed 'Dark Arts' bomb as part of their new range. To us, bathing in jelly sounds a little bit like trying to clean yourself in slime, but according to Lush, it's so much more than that. The cosmetics chain say that: "Jelly Bombs are the next step in the world of ballistics; an ongoing pursuit for extraordinary colours, textures and shapes to surprise and bewilder in the bathtub." The 'Dark Arts' bomb, in particular, is said to be extremely soothing, as the jelly dissolves and wraps itself around your skin. Intense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxhh4IXPWL4 Unlike the first Harry Potter bath bomb we told you about, this one isn't all bright colours and sparkles. This bomb is an ode to dark magic, releasing its inky, black mist once it hits the water. The new Jelly Bomb is also really good for your skin, as it contains sweet almond essential oil to keep skin conditioned, and cinnamon leaf oil to help you "rise anew from the cinders." Lush's 'Dark Arts' bath bomb was launched in the UK last Friday, so we'll have to wait patiently until it arrives in Ireland. Although, we're not sure yet if bathing in black jelly is entirely our thing.
