In these times where everything is so expensive, it’s always nice to be able to buy something which isn’t a necessity, but a treat, and a cheap one too! Most bath lovers will enjoy using various products at bath time to help them unwind and relax. So Dirty Works Cube Tropicana Fizzy Bath Cubes might appeal to these people. I bought this from Home Bargains for only 59p! But was it 59p well spent?
What are fizzy bath cubes?
This is just another name for bath fizzers. The reason its called ‘cubes’ is because you will be throwing cubes of Cube Tropicana in the bath! It SHOULD provide some form of fragrance and fizz in the bath while it dissolves.
Packaging
Dirty Works Cube Tropicana Fizzy Bath Cubes comes in a rectangular cardboard box. Brightly coloured, very appealing with an open window at the front, so you can see the bath cubes inside.
How do these bath cubes look?
The bath cubes come in a chunky rectangular bar which is segmented off like a bar of chocolate. To use, you snap off the amount of cubes you want to throw into the bath. The bar itself is purple and green in colour, which matches the colouring of it’s packaging perfectly. On the back, the Dirty Works logo is embossed into it. The texture of this looks and feels like most bath fizzers or bath bombs which is hard and chalky.
Fragrance
These bath cubes are supposed to have a berry like fragrance to them. What I got was definitely fruity, more berry than anything else, and a little powdery. But also a smell of chalkiness you get with some bath fizzers. The fragrance itself was pleasant. Not the best fragrance I’ve ever smelt from a bath product, or the strongest, but nice enough.
In the bath
I used two cubes of Dirty Works Cube Tropicana Fizzy Bath Cubes. I popped them in the bath and they immediately fizzed, while slowly turning the water from clear to a soft mint colour. The bath cubes took awhile to disappear, but did and left no residue. No foam or bubbles was created, just coloured water was left behind. Fragrance wise it was incredibly faint. I just about got a slight whiff of the scent of these bath cubes but nothing that stood out.
Being in the bath, it was ok. It just felt as if I was sitting in coloured water. Nothing particularly moisturising, comforting or pampering about this bath. But on a positive note it didn’t irritate or dry out my skin during or after. So overall not a bad bathing experience but not the best.
Recommended?
This needed to be more fragrant. It would have improved this product so much if this smelt better and stronger. The colour it left the bath was nice but that’s it. Besides fizzing and colour that’s all these bath cubes did. So it’s not something I would repurchase for myself. But for the price, the packaging and the amount of bath cubes you get it’s hard to complain (well, not for me it isn’t!). If you just want a cheap bath fizzer to throw in the bath or give as a gift to a bath bomb lover (not expert), then buy it, it’s only 59p! If, like me, you want more, give this a miss.
