I’m always on the look out for new products, especially for the bath. When you love your baths as much as I do its easy to go through different fragrances and different forms of bath time treats. So when something comes up that is different and unusual, it will always grab my attention. I was given by a friend The Body Shop‘s Banana Bath Blend. I’ve never seen or heard of this before which meant I NEEDED to use it.
What’s a Bath Blend?
Bath Blends harness the powers of fruit and vegetables. They combine vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to create a moisturising and nourishing bath product to provide a decadent and above average bubble bath.
Packaging
250ml of bath blend comes in a screw top lidded clear bottle. You can see the bath blend in it, with the labelling complimenting the colour of the blend perfectly with its hues of green, orange, yellow and brown. Very earthy in appearance and strangely enough could easily be mistaken for a milk based drink because of how it looks and its contents. Very appealing!
Fragrance
I was praying this wouldn’t smell artificial and fake and thank god it didn’t! Banana is an odd scent which could go horribly wrong as it’s not the easiest scent to create. This smelt to me of chopped up slightly ripened bananas. Drizzled with a touch of honey and a dash of cream thrown on top. It’s creamy, sweet but not sickly and has an almost vanilla like element to it. Truly beautiful, true to life and not for drinking!.
Consistency
Its not a gel or a bath cream. It’s milky/creamy yellow in colour and has quite a thinnish consistency to it, but not too watery. If you have ever tried a bath milk I would say this is similar when poured out.
In the bath
I didn’t need to use much of this. Under warm running water this lathered up like a dream and created ALOT of foam/bubbles. Underneath the foam the water was a very pale yellow colour. But it was the scent that got me. Exactly the same as what I smelt in the bottle, but mixed with warm water in a warm room it truly was beautiful. Not heavy, not too strong, very comforting and yummy and just the perfect scent to help set the scene for a great bathing experience.
On the skin
Very kind and gentle while in and out of the bath. No drying of the skin, no irritation, and I didn’t walk around smelling like a milkshake!
Recommended?
Unusual fragrance. concentrated formula, created lots of bubbles and was gentle on my skin? Definitely recommended! It’s a great bath product which is different because of how it smells and it’s consistency and creates a fabulous bath. The Bath Blend not only comes in banana, but also berry, mango and pear! Each one costs £8.00 which is more than your average bath soak but it IS different! Visit The Body Shop online to grab your fruity bath time bath blends.
