  • 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.

  • Bath & Shower Bubble Up’s The Never Skip Dessert Collection

    Sometimes a girl (or a guy) needs a bit of pampering. We can’t all go to a spa, get a facial or go on holiday. But we all can enjoy a bit of relaxing or alone time in the bath or/and shower. This is how I unwind and try to treat the skin I’m in with some nice bath and shower products. One set I’ve been dying to try since Christmas has been Bubble Up’s The Never Skip Dessert Collection. I bought this from Home Bargains for £2.99 late last year.

    Why did I buy this?

    I’ve used Bubble Up’s bubble bars before and loved them. So when I saw this I wanted to treat myself to some budget friendly products I hoped I would enjoy. The value was exceptional, the set looked appealing and the products were totally new to me. Why would I NOT buy this?

    What’s in this set?

    You’re An Angel Cake The Shower Scrub and a Donut Bath Fizzer.

    Packaging

    This two piece gift set comes in a rectangular shaped cardboard box with a partially clear front so you can see what’s inside. Almost cartoon like bubbles all over the box, with it being mostly pink and white in colour with black detailing. How it’s presented is fun, playful, youthful and eye catching.

    The Shower Scrub

    220g of You’re An Angel Cake The Shower Scrub comes in a tub and colour wise matches the box. Looking at this scrub, it looks like a very thick body lotion without the sheen a body butter has. Small scrub particles are visible and overall it does look really inviting. The fragrance of this is very bakery based and could resemble the smell of cake, but more of an interpretation rather than real life.

    Donut Bath Fizzer

    Same size and shape as a an actual ring donut. Pink and yellow in colour, with what appears to be sprinkles on the top. This really is a fun looking bath fizzer and a great size too! The fragrance of this is slightly sweet but not specific enough for me to say it smells like XY or Z.

    How did they perform?

    The shower scrub is a beautiful, creamy texture which rubbed over my body nicely in the shower. It was enjoyable to use and the scent was very comforting. The scrub pieces I could feel as they were big enough to give an exfoliation action. You’re An Angel Cake The Shower Scrub rinsed off easily, my skin felt clean and reasonably smooth. Nice to use but I’ve used scrubs that really made my skin feel ‘wow’ after use and this didn’t.

    Donut Fizzer when placed in the bath immediately released colour with the bath water going from clear to a shade of pink. It sort of just sat on the bottom of the bath lightly fizzing away. No dancing or movement, just there. When I picked it up it broke into pieces. There was no real bath art to this. No foam but a little fragrance during my bathing experience. Being in the bath with this was just ok.

    Recommended?

    This actually is a nice bath and shower set. Both pieces look great, smell good and are both decent sizes. How much I paid for this is a bargain, and this set would be perfect for a pre-teen or a teenager. Anyone older may want something a bit more pampering, and I personally fall into that bracket. I will happily use the shower scrub until it finishes, but I wouldn’t repeat purchase this particular gift set for myself. I POSSIBLY would buy this as a gift for the right person though.

    Can you get hold of this now? The only place I can see this gift set being available is from The Perfume Shop for £7.99. Not a bad price, but no where near the budget beating price I paid!
