Bath time should be a time for pampering, not a chore. That’s why I love adding various potions and bath products to my evening bath, to help relax my mind and body. I think this is the case for most people who love a good soak. Bath bombs and fizzers can come in various shapes, sizes and prices. One that I purchased recently came from Aldi, in the form of their own brand Lacura’s Peppermint Bath Brick. This cost £1.99. But was it £1.99 well spent?
What’s a bath brick?
I would describe this as being a bath bomb or bath fizzer type product. Not shaped like a brick as such, but more similar in look to a chocolate bar. You snap off how much you want to use and put it under warm running water to enjoy.
Packaging
Aldi’s Lacura Peppermint Bath Brick comes in a simple cardboard box. It’s not the most striking of packaging but because of it’s colour ( green ), and being able to see the bath brick through the front of it, it’s actually quite appealing.
How does this look?
This bath brick is very chunky, quite thick and made up of 9 segments which are breakable from the ‘brick’ itself. Turquoise in colour, but isn’t totally a block colour because there’s specks of white and pink running through it. The texture and feel is chalky, so similar to a traditional bath bomb or bath fizzer.
Fragrance
I expected something minty. What I got was the smallest hint of peppermint. It wasn’t particularly strong but was exceptionally weak. So much so, I really needed to sniff hard to get anything.
In the bath
I broke off 3 squares and threw them under warm running water. They immediately turned the bath water green in colour, while fizzing around a little. It didn’t take too long to dissolve, and produced the smallest, tiniest amount of foam which disappeared instantly.
Fragrance wise, there wasn’t one. I couldn’t smell anything while in the bath or after. Overall I felt as if I was sat in a bath full of coloured water and that’s about it. On the plus side my skin seemed ok with no signs of irritation or drying out..
Recommended?
No. No punchy fragrance despite it being supposed to be mint based. No massive hit of moisture to the skin. Zero foam or bubbles. All that I got was coloured bath water. Did I enjoy using this? Not particularly. It didn’t add anything to my bathing experience, I’m just glad it wasn’t expensive.
