Beauty Enthusiasts Are Freaking Out Over This Creepy Cool Bath Bomb
Something wicked(ly cool) this way comes.
While bubble baths are an indulgence, they don't always have to be so painfully adorable. Bath products are feminine and comforting by design, but one Instagram brand is assuring that you can still have a relaxing experience without bright pink bathwater and tons of glitter. This trendy new bath product is perfect for dark hearts everywhere—it might even make you want to revive your middle school goth girl phase.
The Instagram account @toxicbitchcraft posted this video of a black bath bomb being submerged in water.
Naturally, the Internet totally freaked out.
Can you blame them? It's kind of mesmerizing.
Finally, a bath product that appeals to your dark sensibilities.
It made some people have confusing feelings.
Others were majorly freaked out by it.
I mean, nothing good has ever emerged from murky waters...
This reaction is just...uncalled for.
Bath bombs usually make your bath water colorful or glittery, but this one gives your tub a more sinister feel.
The "hex" bomb from the video was created by Bella Muerte Clothing, an Instagram brand that sells clothing, oils and other goth-influenced merchandise. Shop owner Maria told BuzzFeed that she'd dreamt of making gothic beauty products since she was a teenager.
"To our surprise the response to hex bombs has been amazing," she said. "I honestly just wanted to make a gothic product that I would have been happy to purchase."
Darker versions of traditional bath bombs are being sold by tons of indie brands. Here are a few options for all the dark hearts out there:
- Black As Your Soul Hex Bomb, Bella Muerte Clothing: This rose-scented version is what caused the black bath bomb craze. The next batch is currently on pre-order.
- Cannonballs, Merry Apothecary: You can order a bag of 12 of these mini bath bombs. They're black cherry scented and contain a fine purple glitter. The more you add to the water, the darker it will be.
- Bee-witched Bath Bomb, SugarBee Organics: You'll smell dark and delicious when you try this fresh jasmine, lemon, orange and musk scented bath bomb.
- Mummy Dusk Bath Bomb, Wicked Imagination: This black bath bomb comes in the shape of a coffin. If that creeps you out, its lavender scent will lull you right back into a relaxed state.
Soak away, dark beauties.
