  • The Bath Bae’s Oh So Slushie Bath Cubes

    If you love baths you will love bath bombs. Different fragrances, colours and designs are available which means your bath time treat can be varied from one bath to the next. Not all bath bombs come in the typical ball shape. The Bath Bae, who I found on Instagram, sell lots of different bath treats e.g bath dusts, rocks and cubes. Definitely NOT typical bath bombs! Which made me want to try out their products, including their Oh So Slushie Bath Cube. So what were they like?

    Why did I buy Oh So Slushie Bath Cubes?

    I found the look and idea of bath cubes appealing. The scent from the description online sounded like something I would like and I thought I would enjoy using these cubes.

    What are bath cubes?

    Just think of a bath bomb and what they are made of and designed to do, and instead of it being round its cubed! And lots of them! All small, cubed bath bombs that are thrown into the bath to enjoy.

    Packaging

    200g of bath cubes come in a clear, pouch, so you can see the cubes in all their glory. Resealable, so they don’t need to be used all at once.

    How do these look?

    Oh So Slushie Bath Cubes are similar in size to a dice. Beautiful mix of colours are in each of them, pink, blue, little bits of purple and white. They have a great hand made look to them as they aren’t identical in appearance but look inviting and fun!

    Fragrance

    These smell AMAZING! They smell like an actual slushie drink. Sweet, strawberries, raspberry scented, cherries with a slight fizzy hit to it. This is how they smell.

    In the bath

    Its recommended to use either half or the full packet of these bath cubes. I used a third. Used like a normal bath bomb, I threw a handful of cubes under warm running water. Each cube slowly became an individual mini bath bomb which fizzed about and released bright streams of colours. A little foam was made, and then the bath went from a party of mini bath bombs, to then turning into a purple coloured bath soak. The water felt very soothing, my mind felt very relaxed with no irritation just supple and hydrated skin.

    Good value?

    The bath cubes cost £6.45, but when I bought these they had a 25% offer attached to them. A good quality bath bomb can easily cost up to £6.45 and the amount of product you get from this sachet is a maximum of 2 bath bombs so decent value.

    Recommended?

    I loved these bath cubes! Scent was to die for, gorgeous bath was created and the bath cubes weren’t drying on my skin. These created a a relaxing and enjoyable bath which any bath lover would love!

    Are these still available? Unfortunately not. Like many small businesses over the last few years The Bath Bae is no longer with us, but they really did hand make and sell some really great quality products.

  • Treacle Moon’s Marshmallow Hearts Shower & Bath Gel

    The great thing about shopping in a supermarket is you literally can pick up anything. It’s the perfect place to grab your daily essentials, like bath and shower products. In 2019, I started to use products from a company called Treacle Moon, which became a very handy discovery when I found their products on a shelf in my local Tesco. On of the purchases I tried out was Marshmallow Hearts Shower & Bath Gel. It was £3.00 but was on a half price promotion for £1.50.

    Why did I buy this?

    I never tried Treacle Moon products before until I received them as gifts for my birthday and Christmas. I really enjoying using them. So I opted to purchase Marshmallow Hearts because I really wanted a product to use in both the shower and bath. Plus I had a feeling I would love how this smelt so fragrance side appealed to me.

    Packaging

    500ml of shower and bath gel lives in a plastic bottle with a flip top lid. It’s clear, labeling is super cute with an illustration of a jar of heart shaped marshmallows on it. Plus there’s a paragraph giving you an imaginative description of what the scent of this gel is like.

    Look & Consistency

    Although this is a gel it isn’t the typical gel you would think of. This is pale pink in colour, not transparent, so makes me think this is more like a bath or shower cream. Consistency is a thick liquid, which is what you would expect from this type of product.

    Fragrance

    The fragrance of Treacle Moon’s Marshmallow Hearts is creamy and sweetie like. A mix of marshmallows, milk bottle sweets with a hint of strawberry milkshake and this is the best way I can describe how this smells to me. This could easily be too sweet and synthetic like in scent but it isn’t. It gives you enough sweetness to keep your nostrils happy but not so much you think you will suffer from diabetes!

    In the shower & bath

    I use this product in both shower and bath equally. In the shower on a sponge it lathered up quickly and produced a lot of foam. In the bath I needed very little and the amount of foam produced by two squirts under warm running water was insane! Full, light, airy, white in colour and long lasting.

    On the skin

    This cleaned the skin on my body well, left a faint scent to it but not long lasting so no lingering. My skin felt and looked normal after use e.g skin didn’t dried out, irritated, sticky etc.

    Recommended?

    Yes! What I love about this is it’s a little different in look packaging wise compared to similar products on the same shelf, which makes it stand out. In regards to the scent, these types of scents are popular but this is a great version and will hold its own compared to others. I really enjoyed using this. It provided a quick, easy and effective shower in the morning and a relaxing, soothing bath in the evening.

    This is great for all the family to use as the scent will appeal from the youngest member of the household to the oldest. When I bought this originally it was half price ( £1.50 ), but worthwhile checking special offers as they regularly crop up (Tesco and Waitrose stock Treacle Moon).

    If you can’t head down to your local store you can buy their products direct from Treacle Moon themselves here. Go on treat yourself…its affordable!x
