INITIAL BUBBLES
I’ve had a fascination with the idea of a magic grimoire ever since I watched Hocus Pocus and saw a flying book, named “Book” come when called! These were my childhood memories, but this bath bomb was about to jump start my fascination it into adulthood! I had the most fun photographing and staging it, looking for the best way to make it the hero of the shot. All of that time and effort spent, it was time… to take what I had come to expect was going to be a magical bath.
FUN FACT
I’m going to make this fun fact quick, as I really wanna hop into my bathtub this morning. Today, I took interest in the word “grimoire” and where it originated. Apparently, it comes from the Old French “grammaire” (now meaning grammar) and made its way into the English language in the 19th century when these people started taking interest in the occult. Grimoires are found across the globe.
THE MAGIC GRIMOIRE BATH
Time for my magical grimoire bath! I plopped the bath bomb in the water, and bits of purple started floating around, like a magic spell being released. The grimoire itself didn’t sink. The bath bomb twirled by itself… like magic!
It kept exuding purple, slowly but surely. A large bubble had formed on the top and took a while to pop out of existence. A couple of moments in, some yellow appeared, in small quantities of yellow. The water was becoming purple-ish and a nice smell of… purple(?) emanated as well. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
The more the bath bomb kept going, the more interesting it became. It bubbled, lava-like in some place. There were some green embeds hidden there as well, not what I was expecting from this bath!
FINAL THOUGHTS
Scent: Sweet!
Opacity: completely opaque
Final colour: Purple and glittery
Verdict: Loved this bath bomb and would definitely take this bath again, if only Le Bain Des Elfes made more bath bombs.
Magic Grimoires, not your thing? Don’t hesitate to read about the other indie bath bombs I’ve tried!
