I love a bath! I love laying in the water with a book in my hands, bubbles up to my neck and enjoying some me time. One thing I haven’t done recently is use many bath bomb/fizzer type products. If I’m honest, it’s because I haven’t been bothered! But I’m getting back into the mood of using these bath treats and have opted to use I Heart Revolution’s Lulu Bath Fizzer on one cold and dreary evening. Bought from fashion online retailer ASOS, this was on sale at £2.50 down from £4.00.
Why did I buy this?
I was buying some clothes for my mini me and I couldn’t help but look at the bath and beauty products on sale, which this included. The look of it was cute, price was cheap and I could see this being part of a nice Christmas gift for a friend. Me being me, I bought one for the friend and one for me as well!
How does it look?
Shaped like a sat down teddy bear in a purple/pink colour. There are no added details on this. But you can see the basic shape and appearance of a bear e.g ears, nose, arms, legs and a bow tie. This looks and feels like a bath bomb/fizzer. It’s solid and chalky in texture. What I like most about this is its size which is generous. This is just short of 3.5 inches in height and the same at its widest part across. All of it simply wrapped up in clear cellophane and finished off with ribbon and label.
Fragrance
On the label this says Lulu bath fizzer has a passionfruit fragrance. When I took this out of its wrapping I got a chalky smell to it, lightly sweet, but not passionfruit. In fact, I couldn’t tell you what it smelt like because it wasn’t a particular scent and definitely not strong enough! Not unpleasant but nothing to wow about.
In the bath
I popped this onto a full bath of warm water and immediately it fizzed and slowly bled an incredibly vibrant, deep purple/pink stream of colour into the water. Despite how cute this bath fizzer looked before it went into the bath, it looked less sweet as it dissolved. It moved around the water, which was fun to watch, but the shape wasn’t very clear. My daughter made a comment that it resembled something you would find in a toilet, and I agreed! The colour it produced though was impressive and intense, with the smallest amount of foam left on the top.
Fragrance? The chalky smell hit the back of my throat at times which wasn’t what I wanted. The fragrance was very weak, and still not specific enough for me to say anything more than the fact it was slightly sweet in scent.
But overall I enjoyed my time in the bath with my book and phone to hand, while giving off slightly horror film vibes laying in brightly coloured bath water like a murder victim. I was worried about this irritating my skin as it’s been ‘difficult’ recently, but no issues there. And it didn’t dry my skin out either.
Clean up
Ever worried your bath might get stained because of the colour your bath bomb or fizzer has left your bath tub? I was a bit concerned with this but no staining and clean up was a breeze and no different to any other cleaning of the bath.
Recommended?
If you like a bath fizzer or two and you can get this for the price I paid or less, why not? The thing that I found disappointing was the lack of fragrance. It should have smelt fruity like passionfruit and it should be a decent strength. Also, not the prettiest thing to float around in the water. So not the perfect bath fizzer, but the size, look and colour it turns the water into and of course the price makes this a decent purchase, especially for a stocking filler.
Psssss. At the time of writing this post this bath fizzer is still available for £2.50 on ASOS if you want it.
