I promised myself I wouldn’t buy anything bath related from Primark again. And here I am getting sucked into their beauty department by their colourful bath bombs, fizzers and bath bubbles. Why did I NOT want to buy anymore from this department store? I’ve tried some products before; thought they were ok but could have performed better. But I spotted some new ones I hadn’t seen before and into my basket went Primark’s PS Candy Cane Kisses Bath Bubbles, which cost £2.00.
Why did I buy this?
The shape, colour and size immediately caught my eye. Very festive in look, sizeable and I had a quick sniff of it, and it actually smelt quite nice. SOLD!
What’s a Bath Bubble?
I would say these are similar to a bubble bar. These tend to crumble; bath bombs are chalky. They tend to produce bubbles which some bath bombs and fizzers don’t, they fizz. So different texture in feel and gives a different bath compared to a typical bath bomb.
How does this look?
This is shaped as a five-pointed star. Simple shape, chunky and solid in look and feel. This is made up of two colours like a traditional candy cane which is red and white. There are no stripes in or on this though. The colours are randomly placed on this, which gives it a handmade feel. It’s not the prettiest bath product I’ve had but there’s something about this that makes me WANT to use it, and that’s down to how it looks. Did I forget to mention this is also MASSIVE? This takes up most of the palm of my hand.
Fragrance
I’m going to be honest. Fragrance has been a letdown for me when it comes to bath fizzers/bath bubbles I’ve used before from Primark. So, I had no idea whether this would be the same. But smelling this in the store while it was in its wrapper gave me a hint of hope. What I got was a slightly minty but sweety berry like fragrance which I have to say is very nice and works well with the candy cane theme.
How to use
Crumble this under warm running water. Which I forgot to do and dropped it into the bath like a stone!
In the bath
I forgot what I was using and just threw half of this into the bath which is a no no! This needs to be crumbled under warm running water. By the time I remembered this was very wet and I found it hard to break it up. But when I did, it immediately created bubbles. They weren’t big, but enough to make the bath look inviting.
The fragrance was there although soft, but noticeable. I found this fragrance was much better than other bath bombs/bubbles/fizzers I’ve used from Primark. Could it have been stronger? Oh of course! It was still enjoyable though and a lovely scent.
By the time I got out of this bath the bubbles had disappeared but they were there for a while. And the bath water had turned into a light shade of pink. The fragrance I could still smell, but still subtle. Overall, this created a nice bath which I wish I could have stayed in longer. My skin wasn’t dried out or uncomfortable. The only thing I would like to change about Candy Cane Kisses Bath Bubbles (well two things), is for the fragrance to be a little stronger. And for it to effortlessly crumble so my hand doesn’t hurt!
Recommended?
I really liked this bath bubbles! I loved the shape, size, colouring and fragrance of it. Very festive in look which makes it a great stocking filler. And let’s not forget about the price! For £2.00 you get a BIG sized bath product which I halved. This was easily for 2 baths not just 1 which gives excellent value. As I’ve already mentioned, if this was stronger in scent (my personal taste) and crumblier, this would fantastic. But I would still recommend this, and I’m tempted to buy myself another one asap!
