I didn’t think it was possible but I’m spending more time in the bath than usual. Winter was made for hibernation and I hibernate quite well in the tub. More baths mean more bath products because if you know me, a plain bath just won’t cut it! So I’ve dragged out Primark’s PS Raspberry Ripple Bath Bubbles I bought a few weeks ago to use in my night time bathing ritual. The cost? £1.50.
Why did I buy this?
I bought this along with Primark’s PS Candy Cane Kisses Bath Bubbles because they both looked and smelt good. These must have been newi-ish as I hadn’t seen them before so I wanted to give them a go.
How does this look?
Shaped like a heart, Primark’s PS Raspberry Bath Bubbles is flat on the back and slightly rounded on top. There are two colours merged in this which is a deep purple/aubergine and off white. Size wise, this is impressive as it takes up most of the palm of my hand and is very solid in feel.
Fragrance
Imagine a raspberry/berry flavoured sweet. This is how this smells. It’s sweet, red berries in fragrance and mouth watering. Does it smell like actual fruit? No. This is definitely the fake, sweetie version. But you know what? It smells good!
In the bath
I halved this and crumbled it under warm running water. It was quite hard and not the easiest or quickest thing to do. So not ideal for those with issues with their hands. But once broken up it immediately created foam and a little colour in the form of a pink hue. Fragrance was there but light. I wish it was stronger because I like the fragrance but grateful for something rather than nothing.
The bath itself was absolutely fine and I liked the time spent in it. The bubbles lasted awhile although there wasn’t loads, and the colour added to the water was a nice touch. With cheaper bath products I always worry how they will react to my skin but this was ok. My skin didn’t react to it, no drying out or irritation.
Recommended?
Although this isn’t perfect I would recommend this. Why? Generous size which means you get two baths out of it rather than one. It looks great and fun. It smells nice and creates some bubbles and colour. Not to mention how much this costs which is great if you want a cheap bath treat that doesn’t mess up your skin (or bath!). Good stocking filler for a bath lover, a decent bath treat for yourself or a nice addition to a group of smaller gifts for someone. But if you want something that provides tons of bubbles, colour and fragrance, this won’t be for you!
