  • Spookily Good Druid & The Witch’s Candy Mummy Bath Bomb?

    Halloween isn’t something I celebrate but many people do. Decorations, food, costumes, lots of ghoulishly fun things are available to buy in stores and online. One thing I won’t say no to at any time of year is a bath bomb. I recently purchased a few bath and body products from a small business called called Druid and The Witch including their Double Mummy Bath Bomb in the fragrance of Candy Hearts. But the question is, was it as good as it looked or a hellishly bad bath product?

    Druid & The Witch’s Double Mummy Bath Bomb
    What does it look like?

    Roughly 3 inches in length and 2 inches wide, Double Mummy Bath Bomb is shaped and looks like a very cute almost cartoon like mummy. White, beady eyes with the look of it being wrapped in bandages and blood splatter like markings running around the edge. This look is mirrored on the bottom of the bath bomb because it’s not one but two bath bombs and has the typical chalky feel and look to it you would expect. These two pull a part so can either use for one bath and be indulgent or two.

    Fragrance

    Druid & The Witch’s Double Mummy Bath Bomb smells just like the sweets Love Hearts. Fruity, fizzy, sweet and very energising.

    In the bath

    I popped one mummy bath bomb under warm running water. As expected, it fizzed and bubbled away while producing white foam. What I didn’t expect was to see a train of deep red bursting out of the bath bomb into the water. This started off quite delicately and sparse, and then exploded into full on colour. Not a deep, crimson shade of red but more of a pinky/red which was fun to see. Although the colour remained the foam didn’t and quite quickly disappeared.

    My skin

    This bath bomb didn’t dry out, irritate or cause any issues for my skin. In the same way it didn’t hydrate or add much to it but I did enjoy using it and found it relaxing overall.

    The clean up

    Considering the colour the bath water became, I was worried about the state of my bath. No staining, no scrubbing needed, nothing! Anyone who uses bath bombs or other bath products which colour the water are fully aware sometimes clean up is a work out in itself but not with this one.

    Could this be better?

    Although this bath bomb had a great fragrance to it, it really should have been stronger. It was faint in the bath although noticeable, but not enough.

    Recommended?

    I liked this bath bomb. It looked fun, it was enjoyable to use and probably a great one for bath bomb lovers and kids alike. Despite the fact the scent of this could have been stronger, for the look of this and how it behaved in the bath I would recommend this.

    This Double Mummy Bath Bomb cost £4.50, which effectively makes it £2.25 each. Brilliant price! There are so many fantastic Halloween bath bombs available from Druid & The Witch, you really are spoilt for choice. Fancy a freakishly bathing experience?

  • Bath Time On A Budget With The Body Shop’s Moringa Bath Bubble

    One of the easiest ways for me to relax is in the bath. Perfect time to switch off, unwind and have some important time to myself. So it’s no wonder I have so many bath products in my collection! One product I used recently which was given to me by a friend, was The Body Shop‘s Moringa Bath Bubble. This retails for £1.50.

    The Body Shop’s Moringa Bath Bubble
    What’s a Bath Bubble?

    The Body Shop’s Bath Bubbles when popped into the bath produce bubbles, fragrance and colour.

    How does it look?

    Wrapped in a small yellow coloured packet, Moringa Bath Bubble is a small, flat, yellow, heart shaped looking bath bomb/fizzer. Hard in feel and slightly chalky like a bath bomb. It’s very simple in look, very plain but still left me intrigued and wanting to use it.

    Fragrance

    Moringa Bath Bubble‘s fragrance is an uplifting, slightly sweet floral mixed in with a touch of plant like smell. I’m not a massive floral fan. But because this isn’t heavy and doesn’t have one particular flowery scent dominating it, I found this to be really nice.

    In the bath

    Under warm running water, I could see the outer layer of this Bath Bubble fizzing nicely and it started to produce small amounts of foam. By the time I came to turn the water off there was a surprising amount of foam created from such a small little item! White, fluffy, super soft and airy foam lay on the top of a slightly yellow/marine coloured bath water, which impressed me greatly. The original fragrance I could smell when I opened the packet was what I could smell in my bathroom, but it was beautifully subtle which I loved!

    This was a very relaxing and enjoyable bath. On my skin, I felt Moringa Bath Bubble was quite moisturising on the skin. I didn’t feel I needed to use anything straight away on my skin after I got out of the bath because my skin wasn’t dried out at all.

    Recommended?

    Before I was given this I didn’t realise that The Body Shop made these AND bath bombs. I didn’t realise that a small £1.50 love heart would be of such high quality and unbelievably affordable and create so many bubbles. Fab little bath time treat which doesn’t break the bank, so totally recommended!

  • Druid and the Witch Rainbow Cloud

    Bath bombs are available everywhere. Shops, supermarkets, discount stores. But how many people buy their bath time treats from small businesses who make and sell their own bath products?. I definitely do! One business I’ve bought bath products from has been Druid and the Witch. I purchased a collection of products from them including their Rainbow Cloud Bath Bomb last year. Individually this costs £2.20.

    Rainbow Cloud by Druid and the Witch
    How does this look?

    No surprises but this comes in the shape of a cloud. It’s flat and takes up the palm of my hand so a really good size. On the front it’s mainly white in colour with a delicate addition of light purple highlighting around the edge. There’s also a slight shimmer to this bath bomb and a hand painted silver lightening bolt shape on the left hand side of it. If you look on the bottom edge of Rainbow Cloud you can see different colours popping through ( purple, blue, yellow ) giving you a hint of what’s to come when this is added to a bath.

    Fragrance

    This was labelled as Blueberry Lemon in scent. When I took this out of its plastic wrapper and gave it a little sniff there was a faint smell of something citrusy but if I’m honest it wasn’t strong or clear what exactly this was fragranced with.

    In the bath

    While warm running water was filling my bath, Rainbow Cloud Bath Bomb spun round and round like a windmill. As it was turning it released streams of different colours. It wasn’t as uniformed as what I thought it would be e.g separate straight lines of colour, but colour was there. While the different colours was released ( green, purple and yellow ), some foam was created. Once the has disappeared altogether, it turned the water in the bath into a pretty sea topped off with fluffy foam.

    One thing that did disappoint me a little was lack of fragrance. It was barely there. Was this to do with the fact I had this bath bomb in my stash for awhile? Too long that it lessened the fragrance of it? Not too sure. But fragrance was what Rainbow Cloud Bath Bomb was lacking.

    On the skin

    No issues for me, no irritation, and I continued with my usual after bathing ritual of moisturising with a body lotion while feeling very relaxed.

    Recommended?

    I would happily try this out again in a different fragrance and use straight away once purchased to see if the fragrance behaves differently. As mentioned, it was only the smell or lack of that didn’t quite grab me but everything else I enjoyed. It’s affordable, kids would love this and overall I think it was fun. So would I recommend this? I would say give it a go if you like a bit of bath art from your bath bomb.

    Druid and the Witch have lots of bath and body treats available that come in various forms, fragrances and budgets here.

  • Like A Piece of Art! Geode Bath Bomb From LUSH

    For any bath lover, bath bombs are a must for a bathing experience. Although they’re available anywhere on the high street or online, there is one store that is so well known for their bath bombs they require no introduction, LUSH! With their reputation comes a higher than average price tag on their products. So for me LUSH products are a treat not a constant repeat buy. And did I treat myself recently? Yes I did! I bought their Geode Bath Bomb recently from my local store. So what was it like?

    Why did I buy this?

    One of their amazing and helpful store assistants recommended this bath bomb. Visually it looked beautiful and very different compared to others being sold in the store. She popped this into a bowl of warm water and I was so impressed with how it looked I was sold!

    What’s so special about Geode Bath Bomb?

    Geode Bath Bomb is designed to cleanse and purify the skin on the body, along with aiding relaxation of the mind and body.

    LUSH’s Geode Bath Bomb
    How does this look?

    The top of it is almost flat. It has irregular, deep purple coloured small salt crystals embedded into it. The bath bomb itself isn’t perfectly formed, and circular from the top down. It has a handmade feel and look to it with slight lumps and bumps to it which makes it look very appealing. It’s colour is almost a pale beige but glistens due to being covered with a light dusting of gold shimmer. Size is quite regular for a bath bomb if not slightly bigger, with a decent weight to it.

    Fragrance

    No dominant scent to this bath bomb. I got the tiniest hint of citrus but other than that I couldn’t give a description to what this smells like as I didn’t feel it have much of one.

    In the bath

    This bath bomb bobbed, weaved and fizzed in the water immediately. At first you could see it releasing a peach coloured stream into the water along with a small amount of foam. This then turned into different colours such as pink and purple. Not only did this provide colour to the surface of the water, but underneath left trails of a gold shimmer, giving a liquid gold effect. While this bath bomb continued with the visual colour show, it also entertained me by providing audio in the form of popping sounds thanks to it containing popping candy. Very different, fun to listen to and watch and the fizzing of this made it even more special.

    Once the fizzing stopped…

    Never have I ever seen a rose gold coloured bath before but I did after using this bath bomb! It was so pretty and pure decadence as it looked like liquid gold. Importantly, it wasn’t an issue cleaning up and the shimmer and colour washed away with a problem. My skin afterwards was normal. No irritation or skin drying out, although I didn’t feel as if this bath bomb added anything to my skin it definitely didn’t take it away.

    Recommended?

    It’s a beautiful looking bath bomb which is eye catching and unusual. It could easily have been a chunk of rock carved out showing it’s jewel like insides off the the world. It created a pretty bath that was relatively relaxing but more fun to watch the bath bomb being placed into the water. And the clean up was easy. Only issue is the fragrance. There was barely anything there. A stronger fragrance would have given a better bath because how can something so pretty smell so weak? Would I recommend this? If you like a pretty bath bomb to create a pretty bath then yes. If you want the full bath bomb package then no. It’s not a product I will be buying again but glad I tried it out.

    It’s no longer available to buy in store in the UK and I think this was around the £6.00 mark. Definitely worthwhile checking out there other bath bombs to get bath art AND fragrance here.
