  • April Round Up, What Products Did I Use?

    2023 really isn’t messing about is it? It wasn’t that long ago we were all wishing each other Happy New Year and now it’s May! How did THAT happen? I seem to say this every month but honestly time is flying by so quickly. And in that time I’ve been using more bath, body, fragrance and skincare products and reviewed each and every one of them. So what did I enjoy using (or maybe not) in the month of April?

    Products I used in the month of April
    Tu Est Belle Body Spray By Designer Fragrances

    There’s nothing nicer than getting hold of a beautifully scented fragrance product that not only smells expensive and designer but is super cheap too! Tu Est Belle Body Spray by Designer Fragrances is inspired by a well known perfume and only costs 99p! This is a body spray this does the job of giving a hit of fragrance, can be topped up if and when needed and smells gorgeous.

    Dirty Works Coconut Foaming Sugar Scrub

    Dirty Works Coconut Foaming Sugar Scrub is a body scrub that can be found on the high street and online at an affordable price. Easy to use, decent fragrance but I felt this was geared towards a younger market. Or for those who wanted a fun product rather than a hard working one. It was ‘ok’ but not a scrub I would gravitate towards or purchase myself.

    Glow’s Madame Coco Rollerball Perfume

    Gifted to me from Angela at Glow, Glow’s Madame Coco Rollerball Perfume is a sophisticated fragrance product perfect for those who want to apply fragrance on the wrists and neck. This is perfect if you want a designer fragrance like scent without the price tag because this costs under £5.00!

    Zoflora’s Midnight Blooms Scent Crystals

    Highly fragranced cleaning products seems to be growing even more in popularity. So it’s no wonder many of these brands are branching out into official home fragrance products. Zoflora have released quiet a few items to fragrance the home, including Midnight Blooms Scent Crystals. Great alternative to wax melts, zero clean up and these smelt so good. But I can’t help but wish these were just as strong as the cleaning products version.

    Neom’s Overnight Facial Cream

    This was given to me by a friend and my skin thanks her for it! Neom’s Overnight Facial Cream is a lovely, rich (but not heavy) night cream which leaves the skin looking and feeling rested the following morning. Pricey but very good quality!

    Bubble Up’s Blissed Out Berry Bath Melt Bar

    A great (and in my opinion a better) alternative to a bath bomb, Bubble Up’s Blissed Out Berry Bath Melt Bar created colour, bubbles and was very moisturising to the skin. The only thing it didn’t quite get right was the fragrance and its strength. But overall still a great product to put into the bath.

    So that’s my round up for April completed. What products did you use in April and how do you rate them? Let’s see what the month of May has to bring….

  • Bubble Up’s Blissed Out Berry Bath Melt Bar

    I’m going to be controversial. As a bath lover, bath bombs aren’t my favourite bath product. I think they can be fun and create a great bathing experience, but personally I enjoy bubble or bath melt bars more. Why? I find them to be more moisturising than bath bombs and most of them create bubbles too which not all bath bombs do. As a little bath time treat I recently used Bubble Up’s Blissed Out Berry Bath Melt Bar. This was in a gift set given to me from a friend for my birthday. Individually this costs £4.49.

    Why did I use this?

    I wanted a bit of a pamper and a moisturising bath without having to use a bubble bath or soak and thought of this. When I have the time and a chilled out mindset, this is when I want to use products like this so I did!

    What is a Bath Melt Bar?

    Bubble Up’s Bath Melt Bars are designed to be moisturising (ingredients include coconut oil and grapeseed oil), produce bubbles while creating a fragrant bath.

    Packaging

    This bath melt bar was wrapped in plastic and then housed in a cardboard box. The front is cut out so you can see it, and the box is simple in look and colour (white, black and red). It’s fun and it does stand out.

    How does it look?

    This bath melt bar is nearly the length of my hand and just as wide. Segmented like a chocolate bar and rectangular in shape. It’s not the flashiest in appearance. Colour wise it looks like a very pale pink colouring but actually made up of tiny specs of pink, purple and blue. No design, no glitter or patterns, just plain. And the texture of this is chalky like a traditional bath bomb, thick and quite weighty.

    Fragrance

    There is a slight raspberry scent to this. Sweet berry like with a little sharpness. But it doesn’t smell strong (when taking the bath melt bar out of it’s plastic wrapping).

    In the bath

    Rather than me breaking this up I just threw the whole bar into the bath! It fizzed a little and slowly but surely created some foam and colour. I did have to give it a helping hand by breaking it in two and crumbling sections of this, which created more foam and turned the bath water into a shade of pink. By the time this dissolved the bath was full of fluffy white bubbles over a bed of pink bath water.

    The fragrance was incredibly subtle which was slightly disappointing. I really hoped it would be punchy and fragrance the bathroom which it didn’t.

    The bath itself was very relaxing. Blissed Out Berry Bath Melt Bar really was moisturising because my skin felt silky. I could also feel the drier parts of my body feeling less dry such as the heels of my feet. And out of the bath my skin didn’t feel dried out or irritated (which it has been recently).

    Recommended?

    This is a very, very good bath product. It’s a generous size which easily could be used in three baths. It created lots and lots of bubbles which lasted a good amount of time and this is affordably priced. The only downside for me was the fragrance. It needed to be stronger and specific. But I would still recommend it because it performed very well.

    This isn’t a brand that seems to be readily available instore or online. I’ve found them, and this product, being sold at The Perfume Shop along with other products from the range.
