Mixing Every Bath Bomb From Lush Together

we're gonna have to go to thesaurus calm and think of a new word for smash we're gonna say it like six thousand times is this video the video where we change our outro hello friends and welcome to another video this week I'm gonna be destroying every bath bomb from lush and then reforming them into one single Franken bath bomb that's right tonight we are going where no bad science video has ever gone before the bathroom so previously on our channel I've mixed together a lot of things including a hell of a lot of lipstick an impressive amount of booty guru eyeshadow and also some non makeup items like every candle from Bath & Body Works and every possible wedding cake flavor bad makeup science has really just gone off the rails at this point so I figured while we're off-roading it might as well take a bath now some of you may know of a chain of skincare stores called lush which is famous for its handmade products it's colorful and wacky bath goods and also the signature robust smell of its stores that's strong that's a wall of fragrance it's kind of like subway but instead of smelling like Italian herbs and cheese you come out smelling like a robust vanilla tea bag and some of Russia's most popular products are their fizzing bath bombs which for the uninitiated are basically like solid balls of soap oils and fragrances which you drop into a bath to get some skincare or aromatherapy benefits and also for funsies now as an avid smeller and looker adder of fancy bath products lush is for me often a top destination when going to a mall and it was during one of these visits while flagellating my nostrils with floral aromas that the oh so familiar urge to destroy combined and birth anew struck me the time had to make a Franken lush bath bomb and to become the ruler of sense the Archduke of odors the Emperor of aromas the life of Bath Canterbury Tales anyone know just me okay also you guys have been requesting this one for a while so let's do it all right so we are here at the lush store at the Century City Mall ready to buy some bath bombs to smash to shamash if you will oh that's gonna get old fast so we quickly got to work there right here bath bombs right here filling up their little egg crates with one bomb of each variety I'm trying to like figure out in my way of determining which is the best one you know like you're supposed like knock on a watermelon or something give them a good squeeze I feel like that will destroy them do not Honka Honka the bath bombs now although the classic bath bomb is round lush does do a fair amount of variation in terms of texture what is this the belly button oh that's a navel yeah oh it does look like a navel sighs oh wow they're giant ones giant giant giant and shapes ooh like eggplants phallic and treasure chests why is the rum always gone just to keep things fresh and smooth that's the guardian of the forest the nigh guardian of the forest Wow I don't know what to say for myself I have nothing to say blush does also make a lot of bath balm adjacent items all right so we've got body conditioner body butter magic Christic crystals I do not know what that is I'm gonna leave that over here like shower bombs and bubble bars what about a bubble rune a bubble what a bubble rune was that Tyler do I look like I know but just to maintain the sanctity of our formula we're gonna go with just the traditional bath bombs yes I'm ready to ready to check out and after ransacking the store we ended up with 46 bath bombs now luscious bath bomb lineup does change rather frequently as there are many limited edition location exclusive bombs so I'm gonna say we probably missed at least a couple but we definitely got a healthy chunk oh I thought of bath bombs and with our haul in hand it was time to commence our experiment let's go home and smash him let's go home and smash him y'all let's kick the camera ting it's like a kick in the face okay so we have all of our bath bombs here and today our goal is to smash all of our bath bombs puree them in our food processor and then form them into bath bombs with our bath bomb press I like it I'm holding a weapon in my hand and very threatening here beckoning with the hammer Bob the Builder is quaking also in case you're wondering where I am we moved say hello to the new kitchen hello so we've divided our 46 bath bombs into nine different color categories so I'm gonna be smashing and pure aying by color so we can keep our color separate and then use our color categories to try and make a layered rainbow design in our bath bomb I can't make any promises but we're gonna try and make it cute and we're gonna start smashing with the pink category so our first bath bomb is called Twilight Twilight new bath Twilight breaking bath bombs mood and it just smells pretty sweet I would say it smells like what Bella's blood smelled like to Edward raging hormones all right shall we yeah should I hold it probably just don't hit your fingers oh you know what I should use this side so I'm kind of like axe picking that did nothing that did absolutely nothing okay oh oh here it goes if I dig deeper do you think I'll find Renesmee nose that lets Bella's baby whoa that's what I'm talking about oh it's really blue inside so I'm gonna just break these into like a few smaller pieces yeah there we go alright I'm figuring it out man so besides Twilight there are eight other pink bath bombs five of which are traditional spheres I'm gonna grab I think this rosy one next including a sex bomb which is apparently one of their most popular I mean lush is nothing if not horny yeah we also have magma all right I'm gonna try and like pick at the seam do you think that'll work sure whoa oh my god it actually yes marshmallow world this one's breaking good as opposed to Breaking Bad I wasn't going over there choco mint and pink just pink oh yeah that would did like a backflip blanket safety disclaimer I'm sure I'm not using a hammer correctly so just don't do anything I do ever besides those we have three oddly shaped bombs strawberries and cream oh yeah a lucky cat oh yeah there is like a gold bar inside what is that I don't know but I'm covered in cat and a peach emoji they call me the booty destroyer you don't like that no yeah absolutely no reaction from Tyler okay yeah so those were the Pink's up next are the oranges into the yellows now there are only like two and a half orange bath bombs since one of them is like orange and yellow and first up is yuzu and Coco I keep thinking it's called like my navel but I think that that's just because that's what I think every time I look at it we're any of them called my navel no but a fuzzy navel is a kind of orange drink so I thought it would like work well but it's fine it's fine I'm fine with it it's fine and then the only other full orange bath bomb is this one called Yuki hi this is totally not the vibe of this bath bomb but when I look like straight into the camera with it it's a I of Sauron no you don't think so now it's more like his bellybutton mmm the navel of Sauron mm-hmm and then to finish out the oranges we have our fruity giant bombshell it's also like tied together so I think there might be stuff inside whoa what the hell are we gonna do with a whole bunch of dehydrated orange slices I don't want to mess with our bath bombs formula too much so I'm just gonna leave these out and maybe we can make potpourri with them later or something so I'm gonna hammer the orange first and I'm gonna keep them separated so I'll like put the orange half with the orange category and the yellow half with the yellow category this is flying Soren break and free natasha bedingfield song no it's a high school musical reference Tyler is showing his age here I'm woefully ignorant of High School Musical there's not a star in heaven that it can't reach who's that it's it's still high school musical besides the Giant dude if there are three other yellow bath bombs honey I washed the kids it does have slight death star vibes but like happy death star royalty I feel like Cady heron mrs. regicide when she like divides up the crown amongst all of the Spring Fling attendees and turmeric latte whoo oh it's mustardy in there like a spicy Dijon mustard all right so that is the end of the yellows on to the greens starting with the plainness of the mall this one which is called bow bath besides that one avocado Thanks we also have four other green bath bombs including the guardian of the forest it's grouped everyone in bath bomb form and also this one Mel you've seen melly-mel using Mel usin a mucinous it's mucinex yeah Mel you see it Mel you don't we also have two fun shaped ones like a little turtle we're gonna find out if you're totally enough for the turtle club now well they've rejected me so I'm acting out and a treasure chest called the Pirates of the Caribbean for carrageenan like I've been placebo and it smells like the chlorine in like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland it's a little musty smelling damp room it smells damp oh ah doesn't aggressive strike that was cinematic okay chest destroyed treasure acquired greens done let's move on to blue now there are a lot of blue bath bombs nine to be exact and interestingly a lot of them have like extra ingredients incorporated into them you can see some of the seaweed in there we'll kelpy so for the dry ingredients that are like mixed into the bath bomb formula we're just gonna leave those in there and hope the food processor takes care of the rest but anything we can remove like sea salt rocks or cocoa butter polyps oh oh oh there's butter in here we're gonna do our best to get rid of so that is a full and extraction right there it's kind of like dr. pimple popper if dr. pimple popper murdered people then yes it is like that too besides those ones with like surprises inside there are also a lot of uniquely shaped bath bombs in this category like this little bottle of comb it's a small bean rocket science Miss Molly I don't know it smells like Elon Musk that's not bad I'll let that one fly Rose butterflies there's some reason I was looking at that bath bomb I just had Nelly Furtado's I'm like a bird in my head me too wait actually me I was thinking that in might I don't know why we are on the same wavelength is that the butterfly effect no and this pale blue robot you know what's up you are Lord Farquaad right now I was about to say ginger man from Shrek vibes Tyler we are vibing right now maybe what happens is that we're tripping from all of the lush powder it's lush but it's really just ayahuasca and after that it's time for the purple category starting with goddess Oh house smell it smells like the gift shop at Colonial Williamsburg does it really Konya Williamsburg really had a I love it there besides that one we also have a lumpy blackberry bath bomb and a lavender bomb shrouded in gaad's I think they're like in the bath your supposed to keep it in there because I think there is lavender in here so then it'll stay in like it's a little satchel as it dissolves but I think that for our purposes I should take it out of the bag that one smells amazing it's just straight lavender to the face but it's really good and then the last purple bath bomb is the eggplant emoji I feel like the meme that will be associated with this will be when Tyler pisses off Sofia oh my god I would never sounds like a 2000s Florida lawsuit Florida woman hammers junk surprise alien dick like I said before lush is nothing if not horny oh I almost just said farewell sweet penis but that's not good can't really say that can i you did just say it alright let's just leave it at that okay yeah so that concludes the purple category now we're on to the black bath bombs of which there are only two I'm gonna start off with the Illuminati eye this one actually used to be named Dark Arts but you know apparently JK Rowling took a break from Twitter to unleash her inner lawsuit and now it's called secret arts secret arts this other one is called black rose and it essentially looks like if our merch was a bath bomb I would say basically yeah that's fair it's pretty on brand I like it alright so those are our two black bath bombs up next is the white / beige category now there are eight neutral bath bombs and in the interest of time we're just gonna smash and then pass through them is there a song called smack that from the mid-2000s I was gonna say smack that out on the floor oh yeah all right let me do the but first presumably that's what what a conman you know smack in the butts you know but though we are trying to hack our way through this category as fast as possible as it gets later I become more ruthless please pray for my thumbs there are a few interesting dudes in here like Dragon's egg whoa it's yogi our EP gudetama another fun-filled giant bombshell oh it's like a whole ass dried rose and a second mummified bath bomb look at that debris in there that's a chunky monkey it looks like garlic butter you know when you see butter that has like extra goodies in it like hands Mary and I don't like that imagery but it smells pretty good and with those smack - all on the floor it's time to move on to our last category the multicolored bath bombs are you ready to bathe the rainbow that's all I got of which there are three this dual toned one moon spell oh whoa there's a moon in there I'm not sure like what utility you get out of that in the bath but it's pretty cool the psychedelic groovy kind of love dye lava lamp dye and our final bath bomb of them all The Love Boat where should I go the the bow or the stern also which ones which poop deck where's the poop deck Oh goodbye poop deck we're about to sink this Love Boat this boats heart will not go on that's actually not bad I didn't see that coming so with that we have crapped smacked and smashed all 46 of our bath bombs and it is time now to move on to the food processing portion of the experiment I do have two food processors here one mama and one baby just in case there's too much chunk too many chunk too many chunks one thing to note before we get started is that after smashing some of the bath bombs revealed other colors inside so weary categorized a couple of them including the entire rainbow section so we now only have eight groups to grind all right let's see if I know how to use a food processor with you starting with pink ready yeah go for it let's pound some rock which I hold the top that's a good food processor I think it's literally done it's pulverized I'm not shocked I thought I was gonna have to like go at it for a second this is awesome what else could we put in there haha now as we are puree our bath bomb powder to go into our rainbow design [Music] dude I am totally gonna break this thing there's like no question there is one dynamic of this experiment we haven't talked about too much ooh which is the odor this one smells like mint toothpaste it looks like cotton candy but it smells refreshing so as we blend our categories to a pulp oh my god oh yeah I feel like this one's Wilder we're gonna give each one a good sniff woo that one smells amazing yeah it's like orange jasmine this one's my favorite to see just what kind of sense we're working with here I'm gonna to switch this thing yeah stranger things style and what we found was that the smells were all over the place there's like smoke rising out of this way now it's like if lush got dusted by thanos with some kind of fresh scent dude citrus citrus I'm getting nothing else literally just lemon some more comforting smells this one kind of smells like a Christmas cookie I think the turmeric is turning it spicy and some herbaceous aromas hmm it kind of smells like a citrusy chamomile tea herbal tea the blue category went a little stereotypical this one smells like a oceanic Glade plugin like fake ocean smell I would say and the block bath bombs though small in number now that's what you call the black long packed a serious potpourri punch it looks like soot but it smells like dried flowers not fresh flowers dead flowers and honestly I don't even know what happened in the purple category that does not smell good that smells a really bad actor smell like it smells like a baby wipe like a diaper bag yeah I don't want to be than that I guess that's all to say that there's a lot going on here so I'm interested to see which fragrances will come out on top I'm just hoping it's not the purple the rest of them smell nice this one is just funky but with that we do have all of our color categories dusted so it's finally time to make our bath bomb we have destroyed and now we must rebuild now when most people set out to make a bath bomb they're making them from scratch like with a recipe but in our case we are trying to revive dead bath bombs which makes our process a little different specifically we're going to need to wet our powder so it will restate to itself and keep the shape of a bath bomb but also make sure that it will still fizz when we drop it in the tub so to make our formula we are going to be adding baking soda oil and citric acid to all of our individual color categories nope and the citric acid and the baking soda are gonna be what causes the bomb to react with water and the oil will hopefully be our binding agent we could also use witch hazel but because it's more watery and because we're beginners were afraid we might prematurely activate the Franken bath bomb powder while mixing now this is a little time sensitive because they can dry out and we need them all to be wet at the same time so Tyler is gonna be helping me we're gonna be doing a couple of the colors off-camera and hopefully we can figure this out technically our powder should be fizzy without this stuff like there is already citric acid and baking soda in there but since we're adding more oil into our mixture we wanted to make sure the ratios were right and once we have all eight colors prepped it looks pretty good yeah I think it's ready to go go for it we can bust out the real star of the show so this is our bath bomb making machine it is an industrial bath bomb press that we bought on a whim and now we're using it which I'm very excited about there are other bath bomb making methods notably molds but we thought this machine seen more exciting and the way it works is that it has a little cup or mold that you fill up with your bath bomb batter we're gonna be putting alternating spoonfuls of each of our colors in like in rainbow order to try and make a striped pattern I think that seems pretty good actually it's nice and perfect once it's full you place your cup underneath the pressing arm of the device and then the machine is gonna use air pressure to like pretty aggressively compact your formula into a bath bomb oh this is the coolest thing ever then you twist and flip the mold and push the bath bomb into your hand oh no no which for our zombie bath bombs was easier said than done it's beautiful but sad here is bath bomb attempt number one it is cool as hell but it did not work we're trying it again we're not giving up we had a pretty hard time trying to figure out how to make this machine work for us Oh sadness which kind of makes sense because it's an industrial press and I would hardly say we are in the bath bomb industry oh yeah we how did that happen in fact if anything I would say we are actively undermining the bath bomb industry Wow but regardless we just could not get our bath bombs to stop splitting in half down the middle mm-hmm it's stuck in there and it's full unstuck up there whether they made it out of the press or not no so after trying a few different troubleshooting methods like greasing up freakin everything the press and the batter shaking our formula as we spooned it in shake it good shake it and desperately holding the mold together as the pressing arm lifted high everyone hold on to their butts again we still failed oh it might have just fallen into my hand as you can see this side is a bit soft and like kind of crumbled but the other side Oh literally as I said but the other side is good it imploded in my hands so we finally decided to as a kind of Hail Mary change up the order of the colors going into the mold don't try inverse rainbow let's try inverse rainbow just because Roy GB that didn't really seem to be working for us it looks like broccoli let's do this is the broccoli Avenger okay all right here we go shake it like a Polaroid picture okay okay okay I see it I see it already central no one say anything don't breathe okay wait it's still in my hand how do i how do I get out of your hand and hold on okay okay oh my god that's a Frankie bath bomb ah someone pinched me so I guess the inverse rainbow thing was the best idea we had all night I thought you were gonna dwight schroot it and that it was gonna make the watermelon the bath ball may look a little green but don't worry there are a lot of the other colors in there they're just hiding inside that is a sexy-ass bath bomb can I make out with a bath bomb so with one multi-layered Franken bath bomb produced this is rock and roll man those are appropriate rock horns this is rock and roll we took a few more whacks at it to make a backup bath bomb just in case don't ask why it's so wet I did some things I'm not proud of and then just as kind of like a secondary test we decided to use the remains of our earlier failed attempts to make another Franken bath bomb it's gonna be the phoenix bath bomb from the fallen attempts it shall rise I call it the Franken swamp bomb it's beautiful it's perfect that was like the eighth baby for Octomom it just kind of walked out just ran out of the womb and after quickly making a back up swampy we were pretty much ready to retire the machine all right so we have two bath bombs of each variety and so basically all we have to do is wait a couple of days for them to dry out and then we can all take a bath together it's very it's a very Roman video you know yeah that's the vibe hello friends and welcome to my tub we are here a few days after forming our Frank and bath bombs two bigs the backbones do seem like decently dried out I'm nervous to touch them I'm nervous to look at them so it's time to bomb this bath all right bring in the bath bomb oh I got it all right I'm gonna sniff it a good sign is that it doesn't overwhelmingly smell like lavender but it's hard to identify like exactly what I'm smelling it's definitely like a sweet smell would it be a cop-out to say it just smells like the lush store who would that be a cop-out after doing some serious investigative sniffing I think the dry Franken bath balm smells most like a combo of rocket science and rose butterfly which have Sicilian lemon bergamot and rose oil in Bama so it basically smells like Elon Musk with a hint of nelly furtado but let's see how that holds up in the bath shall I cannonball or like gently lower Oh cannonball okay ready good bye oh it's fizzing oh it is a purple and green bomb oh it's split in half oh there's one half where's the other half right here oh what a great emergence so as for first impressions it is very fizzy which is great and what's also fun about it is that as the bath bomb dissolves you can see the different color categories come to the surface oh no here I got some yellow it's like a sorting hat bath bomb yes yellow orange I'm seeing some blue as well so we did get some bath utility out of our rainbow design Oh oh yeah look at that emergence hi sis ah we're gonna bottle this and sell it for $20 in the Internet right right Yeah right bad makeup science bathwater do I have to like pour it down my butt crack for it to be worth something on that market yes now with our bath bomb fully disintegrated we were able to get a better look at just what it had done to the tub so this is a shredder bath bomb he's got layers to right it's got layers it ends up green and swampy ah it doesn't smell like onions thankfully but it does look the part now as for what it actually smells like Oh interesting yeah as I'm smelling my Franken bathwater $20 on top of I it smells way different than like the actual bath bomb did before we dropped it in oh yeah it smells much more florally whereas the dry bath bomb was dominated by more of a sweet citrus scent but both floral and orange sense make sense when you look at the most common ingredients across all of our bath bombs as lavender rose Alang Alang jasmine and chamomile are all in the top 10 along with lemon orange and bergamot there's also a lot of cocoa butter even when you consider the lumps we removed though that doesn't really have a strong scent but when you team it up with all of the almond oil we use to rebuild the bombs it definitely makes it very moisturizing and slick in here let me oh oh oh I'm sorry Oh farewell farewell cruel world besides moisturizing the top ingredients also have soothing relaxing cleansing and energizing properties so it's basically like a soapy Four Loko it's an upper and a downer you know I'm facing towards $20 for her freaking bath bought bath water so you better pay up if you're gonna drink up Tyler also wanted to lend his nostrils to the cause right this is making me uncomfortable and we're married and though he tried his best it does smell like wash he brought few insights if any but not to close the door on any future odor investigations we did actually save one mason jars worth of Franken girl bath water ooh YUM not to sell just to have now we did also want to do a really quick bath test with the Franken swamp balm and though it obviously doesn't look the same oh yeah it looks like when Sponge Bob had the suds it did bring our bathwater to that familiar Shrek ehue I feel like mine is more clumpy and I feel like there's more like a general multicolored nough stew it but it is certainly converging to swamp water green and emit a mild lemony flower aroma there you go Tyler Williams chest hair bathwater these thighs don't lie how its hips don't lie and with Tyler and his chest hair thoroughly enjoying their bath I can just rotate like this almost like like one of those pigs sits on a thing like a pig on a spit relax it seemed that our first episode of bath makeup science had come to an end I feel overall that was a pretty successful bath bomb experience I really enjoyed the sheer amount of Smashing and smelling I got to do in this experiment I feel you're gonna snot rocket later sawfish to be multicolored that would be fun and it was also a very gratifying francon experience because we were able to figure out how to make all of this into a bath bomb which ended up being not bad and I was really happy with both the design and the fizziness of our final product that said I wouldn't say it was the world's greatest or most luxurious bath bomb like I'm not feeling like the effects and niceness of all of the bath bombs from lush together it is less than the sum of its parts if that makes sense but it's not the worst it's not too chunky and it doesn't smell like butt so I feel like that's good so in conclusion I had fun I would make bath bombs again though probably not from the ashes of 46 other bath bombs and I am not sure what we're gonna do with our mason jars full of bath water but my money's on family heirloom probably well we had our freaking candle at our wedding maybe on our 10-year we'll have our Franken bathwater gross but romantic thank you guys so much for watching if you liked that video make sure to smash that like button and if you want to see more videos like this make sure to shamash that subscribe button a big shout out to Amanda for watching thanks for watching Amanda and I will see you guys a next bath

Wasted opportunity to not make a giant bath bomb

[u/taversham]

When I compare this video to Saf at her peak, it seems underwhelming. The Franken series is getting a little tired - it's like she's kind of desperately looking around for "what thing can we Franken next?" rather than letting the Franken opportunities arise naturally, you know? The process and the result was all just a bit pointless and uninspired, and it's disappointing that over the last 6 months or so the only video of hers that I thought was really brilliant was the Wedding Dresses Through Time one.

But then when I compare it to the other Youtubers I watch, she's still pretty damn good. Her "highs" have been so high that her "mediocres" feel like lows, but that's not really fair. This bathbomb video was not bad, it's just I know she's capable of so much better.

[u/eighterasers]

I like these kind of videos... and was excited for this one because I love a good bath bomb. But I was a little disappointed that they didn't try to make more of them, or do the different colors individually or whatever. I know that bath bomb press is insanely expensive($1500, and that's without the air compressor), it just seemed like a waste to buy it to make 4. She could have done that with a hand mold.

[u/meow0101]

While I did enjoy the video, it was a little disappointing since it’s her first video in a month.

Although she may be spacing her videos out even more since her content mostly centers around going out and getting stuff or ordering items which may be difficult right now.

[u/prettysharpdotbe]

I love Safiya but I do feel like this Frankenseries can be put to rest now.

[u/msummerse]

Don't hate me, I love safiya, but anybody not liking her videos lately? Maybe they feel too structured or I just don't like the concept, something isn't entertaining me anymore

[u/[deleted]]

i never noticed her over pronunciation that everyone talks abt until this video. lord almighty.

[u/angelajohnson1985]

Ok so I imagined this being a video where she put every bath bomb from lush in a tub at one time. I am very disappointed.

[u/ehhno676]

I used to love Saf and really look forward to her videos, but since she started uploading less I'm just not enjoying her anymore.

I know people have said in the past about her acting much more theatrical and less natural in her videos now than her old ones, I had noticed it but it hadn't bothered me too much, but this one I could barely make it two minutes in, her narration of the video feels like I'm playing YouTube at 50% speed.

I know that the less frequently she's been uploading the longer the videos have been, but there is no reason that a video about mixing bath bombs together needs to be 32 minutes long. Her content has always been BuzzFeed style easy watching, not something that requires a time commitment of almost the length of a TV show to watch. I mean I might be wrong, like I said the narrative style was just too ridiculous sounding for me to continue but yeah, disappointed.
