  • Glow’s Coast Bubble Bath Is Perfect For Bath Lovers

    A bath is an evening ritual I rarely miss out on. I find it relaxing, I use it as time out for myself and it gives me a few minutes of not having to move. Why would I NOT love a bath? Having baths regularly means the amount of products I have for the bath is varied and I always love to try something new. My latest bath time treat comes in the form of Glow’s Coast Bubble Bath. This was part of Glow’s New Year New You January Subscription Box. So what was it like?

    Glow’s Coast Bubble Bath
    Packaging

    Simple, practical and basic is how I would describe how this bubble bath is packaged. It comes in a clear, flip topped plastic bottle which is labelled.

    Consistency & Look

    Consistency wise Coast Bubble Bath is a little thicker compared to other bubble bath products I’ve used. But it’s liquid and flows. Look wise, this is a beauty! It’s a turquoise colour which is very sea/marine like, with the most stunning shimmer and sparkle to it. It has hints of fine gold running through this which is eye catching and mesmerising.

    Fragrance

    Clean, fresh, mineral based with a hint of sweetness. This is the type of fragrance that would appeal to both the guys and the girls. I love how this smells! It’s strangely relaxing and invigorating at the same time!

    In the bath

    A small amount of this bubble bath created a generous amount of white, fluffy, compact bubbles which were foamy and a joy to sit in. Not only was a lot produced but they lasted a good amount of time too. The fragrance was incredibly relaxing when I used this for the first time. It was the perfect medium strength to smell but not overpowering. I enjoyed every moment in this bath. I was unsure whether my skin would like this or not as it’s incredibly irritated at the moment. But it didn’t cause my skin any issues, it didn’t feel worse, it didn’t dry out and didn’t cause me any issues.

    Recommended?

    The fragrance, the look, the bubbles and the atmosphere created are all reasons why I recommend this product. I loved using it. It’s totally different to anything you can grab off a supermarket shelf look and scent wise, and it’s a great quality bath product which I can’t see anyone NOT liking!

    This is available on Glow’s website for only £2.25 for 100ml. It comes in different fragrances along with Coast, including Snow Fairy, Aliens, Millions, Wish, Kreed and Slumber.

  • New Skin & Body Products From Aldi’s Lacura Range

    There is nothing nicer than visiting my local Aldi store and finding new products have landed. If you’re a regular shopper to this supermarket you will know that when new skin, bath and body products come in they rarely last long in regards to availability. So if you want something, and you see it, you have to be quick because these are only stocked for a short amount of time. Have I spotted anything new in my local Aldi store recently?

    New skin and bath/body products currently in Aldi
    Lacura’s Light/Rich Moisturising Cream

    Lacura’s Moisturising Cream comes in two versions, one light, one rich. I assume this is reflected in their texture and consistency. Both can be used on face and body, with the light version being more suitable for a normal skin type and rich for dry skin. This range is a possible dupe for a body and skincare range called Weleda. This costs £3.99 for 75ml.

    Aldi’s Lacura Light/Rich Moisturising Cream
    Lacura’s Hydrating Gel Serum

    This serum is designed to improve the overall look of the skin, when it comes to texture, feel, hydration and fine lines. £4.99 for 50ml.

    Aldi’s Lacura Hydrating Gel Serum
    Lacura’s Illuminating Priming Moisturiser

    Lacura’s Illuminating Priming Moisturiser is aimed at normal to dry skin types. Not only is this supposed to hydrate the skin but also give the skin that primed and ready to go look without the aide of a make-up equivalent. £4.99 for 50ml.

    Aldi’s Lacura Illuminating Priming Moisturiser
    Lacura’s Almond Coconut Honey & Vanilla Honey Bath Nectar

    Not a new product but one that has popped up in Aldi infrequently over the last couple of years. Lacura’s Almond Coconut Honey & Vanilla Honey Bath Nectar is supposed to be that decadent, indulging bath product containing actual honey, provitamin B5 and sweet almond oil. Aimed to be nourishing on the skin, pampering and creates bubbles. This looks like a dupe for Laura Mercier‘s Honey Bath. £5.99 for 300ml.

    Did I buy any of these?

    No I didn’t! Not because curiosity didn’t hit me but I genuinely don’t need these products. But I do like the look of these. Their price points are affordable, they seem perfect for the season we are in where our skin naturally is drier, duller and lack lustre and they will be easy to slot into a skin or/and body care routine.

  • Glow’s New Year New You January Subscription Box

    I’ve been looking forward to 2024 wondering what subscription boxes Glow would bring out. Over the past few years I’ve enjoyed many from Glow. But I wasn’t too sure what to expect with their New Year New You January Subscription Box. All that I knew was it would contain bath and body products. So what did it include?

    Glow’s New Year New You January Subscription Box
    Calming Deodorant Balm

    I’ve wanted to get my hands on one of Glow’s deodorants since my daughter stole my last one. So I was pleased to see this in the collection. Made with essential oils and containing shea butter, this deodorant is designed to neutralise odours without drying the underarm area. This has a lavender scent to it which isn’t overpowering and very soothing in scent.

    Calming Deodorant Balm
    Essentially Glow Body Butter

    Glow’s body butters are superb. I’ve used them before, so this being included made me very happy! Essentially Glow smells relaxing and calming with an aromatherapy scent to it (lavender, same scent as the deodorant balm), and texture wise looks rich but lightly whipped. Perfect for dry skin during this current colder season.

    Coast Bubble Bath

    This sparkles! Oh my goodness Coast Bubble Bath not only is a gorgeous marine, sea like blue/green colour but it sparkles! This gives me full on mermaid vibes and is incredibly pretty and unusual to see something so eye catching in bubble bath form. The fragrance matches how it looks, marine like, fresh and mineral based. Beautiful!

    Coast Bubble Bath
    Softly Bath Oil

    How Softly Glow Bath Oil is packaged is so cute. It looks like a small bottle of tonic which obviously you don’t drink, but is literally a tonic for the bath. The texture looks like an oil and the fragrance is a spicy citrus blend. Can’t wait to try this.

    Brow Serum

    A Brow Serum is a product I have never used before or thought about purchasing but probably need it. Unfortunately, I never will as my daughter has claimed this already. The serum looks very fluid and easy to apply as the applicator is just like a lash wand. I think my daughter will enjoy using this.

    Gloss & Glow Cookie Dough Lip Gloss

    Shaped as a pencil, Gloss & Glow Cookie Dough Lip Gloss is adorable in its packaging, fun fragrance and perfect for my 12 year old (yes she’s taken it!). I’m not a massive lip gloss wearer so this is perfect for my daughter. And the packaging probably suits her age and tastes more than mine so it’s gone to a good home.

    Gloss & Glow Cookie Dough Lip Gloss
    Mist Spray Dispenser

    The mist spray dispenser included is chargeable and comes with a USB lead. You can pop in your favourite mist, essence or simply water to spray onto the face and freshen up. It has the cutest little animal figure inside of it and it lights up when the dispenser is in use. Another item that will disappear via my daughter I think….

    Mist Spray
    Body Puff

    I’m not a fan of body puffs because they can be quite cheap in feel and scratchy on the skin. The body puff included in this sub box looks nice and much softer in feel which will make using this more enjoyable and easy.

    So this is Glow’s first subscription box of 2024 and isn’t it filled with some amazing goodies? I love the mix of products in this box. Yet again totally different to any other subscription box brought out by this business. All products are pampering, easy to use, great sizes and brilliant quality.

    Great job Glow!

  • My Favourite Bath Products Of 2023

    When you’re as addicted to baths as I am, you will use ALOT of bath products in a year! What I love is there is so much variety in regards to the fragrance, consistency, shapes and even colours bath goodies can come in. So what were my favourite products I used in the bath in 2023?

    My favourite bath products of 2023
    Sleepy Bubble Bath Bar From LUSH

    Bubble bars are a great alternative to bath bombs. Most can be broken up and used for more than one bath. Compared to bath bombs, bubble bars are more moisturising and many create foam. Sleepy Bubble Bath Bar From LUSH ticks all these boxes AND has a glorious, relaxing fragrance as well.

    Bubble Up’s Blissed Out Berry Bath Melt Bar

    Bubble Up’s Blissed Out Berry Bath Melt Bar could have been a little more fragrant. But what it lacked in scent it didn’t lack in size. Great size, multiple baths could be used from one bar, created bubbles and left my skin feeling silk smooth and soft.

    Snow Fairy Bath Bomb From LUSH

    As much as people have raved about the Snow Fairy range from LUSH, I was a little sceptical about their Snow Fairy Bath Bomb. It smelt and looked great, but how it would perform I wasn’t too sure about. But perform it did and it created a relaxing and enjoyable bath. It was surprisingly moisturising for a bath bomb, it didn’t irritate my skin and I loved using it.

    Treacle Moon’s Sweet Berry Kisses Bath Salts

    I’ve used Treacle Moon’s bath salts before and I was so happy to find them being stocked in Boots because I loved them. Treacle Moon’s Sweet Berry Kisses Bath Salts costs only £1.00, and when poured into the bath provides soft fluffy foam and fragrance.

    Glow’s Pink Sugar Foaming Bath Salts

    Bath salts can create a very therapeutic bath for not only the mind, but for the joints and skin too. But they can be very plain and give a basic bath. Glow’s Pink Sugar Foaming Bath Salts was a great product to help me unwind from top to toe. It also had a soft fragrance to it while creating lots and lots of foam.

    All of these products were great to use, provided soothing and chilled out baths while keeping my skin in good condition. What more could I ask for?
