LUSH Bath Cocktail: RENT

Today, I will be sharing a bath cocktail inspired by RENT.  RENT is a musical written entirely by Jonathon Larson, who died of an aortic aneurysm at 36, a few days before the production opened off-broadway in 1996.  If you know me in real life, you know I am a theater nerd, and RENT is my favorite musical.  So, on to the bath cocktail.  There may be spoilers in this post.

For the bath bomb, use Twilight because the show starts on Christmas Eve at 9pm, during twilight.  For the bubble bar choices are The Comforter (for when Angel sees Collins and helps/comforts him), Dorothy (for Mark and Roger wishing for a nicer life) and French Kiss (one thousand sweet kisses).  For the bath melt, use Floating Island to represent Roger's emotions after he found out that his girlfriend slit her wrists in the bathroom after finding out they had HIV and writing him a note.  For the soap, use Sultana of Soap since the scent will go well with the Twilight Bath Bomb.  Use whatever for your hair products.  Use the Catastrophe Cosmetic (or any face mask) with the cocktail.  I recommend that one since the smell will go nicely with the cocktail.  After the bath, use Therapy massage bar to represent the Life Support group for people with AIDS that Angel and Collins went to.  Use the Silky Underwear dusting powder after that since the scents go nicely together.  After that, use the Twilight perfume to match the scent of the bath bomb.
