When you dig deep enough you maybe surprised to discover what businesses are on your doorstep, or at least within the city you work and/or live in. I’m continuing to buy locally, where possible, home fragrance and bath and body products. That’s why for the second time within the last few months I’ve purchased from Jenny Makes For You, who hand make their own bath and body products within my hometown of Manchester. I was so impressed with the first order I received my second order followed quickly. And the lovely Jenny kindly gifted to me her Sleepy Unicorn Bath Soak and wanted me to try this out and let her know my thoughts on this product.
What does this soak supposed to do? Containing essential oils such as lavender, this soak is meant to provide a relaxing bathing experience while providing the skin with hydration thanks to containing coconut oil.
Packaging. 120g of bath soak filled to the brim in a plastic pouch which can be resealed at the top after the top has been cut open to use.
How does it look? Super pretty! I’m one of those people who gets excited when I find products for my bath that look great. The pouch the soak comes in is completely clear so you can see exactly what you’re getting, and what you will see are various layers of coloured dust. Almost like a rainbow made by a unicorn itself, this dust goes from purple, to blue, pink then finishes off with the last of the bath soak being yellow. All shades being a touch darker than pastel and very eye catching.
Scent. Everything that has the word ‘ unicorn ‘ in it seems to smell of candy or something very sweet, which don’t get me wrong is perfect for me as I love that type of scent. But it makes a nice change NOT to get that. When I first opened the packet of bath soak the first scent that hit me was lavender. Lavender can be very old fashioned and strong, which this wasn’t. Great strength to it yes but not too much. And having a slight sweetness and essential oil element to it softened it and made it even more pleasant and easy on the nose. One of those scents you inhale, make a sigh noise, then inhale again.
Texture. Very fine, almost chalky in feel. I found it helpful to give the pouch a little squish with my fingers to make sure there were no clumps so it could sprinkle in my bath freely.
In the bath. It was lovely to see the different colours of the soak evaporate in the water. Now, its important to mention this didn’t create foam, but what it did do is fill the room with its glorious scent and almost dance on top of the bath water in the smallest little purple speckles. This reminded me of using bath truffles or melts. These traditionally don’t foam but melt in the water and provide lots of moisture to the skin, almost treatment like during bathing. This definitely provided moisture. The driest part of my body is always my feet. And this soak literally made its way to my feet making me feel as if I’d put a balm like foot product on them. As for the rest of my body, it gave me that slight cocooned feel but not the oily, sometimes greasy type effect a bath melt can give.
Body once out. Soft, not irritated and not stripped of its natural oils. Plus my mind wasn’t in too bad of a condition either! Nice and relaxed with a faint hint of the scent on my skin.
Recommended? This is a great little product for those who love their bath times, and want to truly relax and unwind. I would use this again and more importantly buy for those times I really need to relax. Those who love their essential oils, bath melts and treatment based bath products such as oils I think will enjoy this immensely. And at a cost of £5.00, this is affordable as you can get a minimum of 2 uses if not 3 uses out of this. So not a one hit wonder! Need to chill or know someone who needs this in their life?
