Regardless of the time of year whether it’s freezing cold or roasting hot, I have to have a bath. A bath is part of my evening routine where I wash my body, relax, unwind and hopefully read a few pages from my chosen book at the time. Since I love baths so much I like to use different bath products and try out new ones when I can. Recently I felt it was the perfect opportunity to delve into my stash of bath products and grab something I haven’t used before which was Bath Beauty Babe’s (formally known as Jenny Makes For You) Bath Pop. I bought this with other products some months ago, and it cost £3.50.
Why did I buy this?
I originally bought this because it looked fun. It sounded like it would be really good for my skin, more pampering than a bath bomb or fizzer and it was affordable.
What’s a Bath Pop?
Lollipop in shape and made from cocoa butter with added fragrance, when placed in running warm water, it will melt to create a bath soak. Made to be moisturising and comforting on the skin. It’s a bath product that is reusable and not just for one bath which provides great value and another reason for me to purchase it.
How does it look?
This bath pop is roughly 3 inches in diameter and disc shaped. Half is blue in colour and the other a light raspberry red shade. Slightly domed in shape with a swirled pattern moulded into it, giving it texture and a more 3D appearance. To finish off the look at the bottom of this bath pop is a stick, which is what you hold when placing in the bath.
Fragrance
There’s a chocolate scent to it. It verges closer to a dark chocolate scent with a hint of orange. It’s not strong or sickly. Very pleasant to smell and not the scent you would thin it would be based on how it looks which was interesting.
How to use
Hold this under warm running water to allow this to melt or swirl it around in a ready filled warm bath.
In the bath
I held this under warm running water. While the water got hotter, I could see the colour almost running off the bath pop, and the actual shape of it changing and getting smaller as it melted away. Small coloured droplets which looked oil like was left behind in the bath once I put the bath pop away. No bubbles, no foam. This looked more like a bath treatment/soak. So not the most inviting looking bath to get into but definitely not boring!
While in the bath, I could immediately feel the now melted cocoa butter clinging onto my skin. Perfect opportunity for me to rub this into extra dry areas such as feet, elbows and knees. Those droplets of colour now merged together and were more dark grey by this point, so not as pretty as before. The fragrance was there while using this but fainter compared to taking it out of it’s packaging, but still a nice scent.
Out of the bath
My skin felt very moisturised when I got out of the bath. If you’ve ever used raw ingredients such as shea or cocoa butter, you will know there is a greasiness to them. This is what I expected from this bath pop, which it was and I loved it. I didn’t need to apply a body lotion or cream after my bath as my skin didn’t need it. This layer of protection it provided lasted a good amount of time after, even when I threw my clothes on.
My top tips for using this Bath Beauty Babe’s Bath Pop
- Wash and clean your body before using this. I would call this more a treatment rather than a way to cleanse the body on the skin. So jump in the shower with a shower gel, soap etc, have a wash, and then sit in the bath and use this.
- Use a body scrub. Get rid of all dead skin cells before using the bath pop but after washing the skin, so the cocoa butter from this product soaks into fresh and juicy skin and won’t be sitting on old skin cells.
- Pat your skin dry. Don’t grab a towel and roughly dry your skin and rub most of this off! Gently pat so the bare minimum of the cocoa butter comes off but your skin will still be covered in melted Bath Pop.
Who won’t like this
If you want foam and bubbles this isn’t for you! Or if you don’t like oily or greasy textures you won’t like this. This does leave the bath a little slippy so you would need to wash this bath out straight away! It doesn’t stain the bath but will leave a mess. So if the aftermath doesn’t appeal to you or worried about slipping e.g age, mobility, give this a swerve.
Recommended?
I would definitely buy and use this again! This is such a fun bath product to use, can be used more than once and left my skin feeling so good. AND very affordable for a handmade product too! So not only would I repurchase this I would recommend this to those who want a moisturising and pampering treat for the body.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as if Bath Beauty Babe currently are making and selling their bath, body and skincare products. But if they do, be assured I will be stalking them for their Bath Pop!
