  • An Alternative To A Bath Bomb, Miss Patisserie’s Frosting Bath Slab

    Bath bombs. There are different types and styles of bath bombs on the market, but it doesn’t mean they are all made equal. I’ve used some fabulous quality ones, and also some pretty rubbish ones too. One bath product I’ve given my time, energy and bath to last week was Miss Patisserie’s Frosting Bath Slab. Bought online from ASOS, when it was on sale for £4.00.

    Miss Patisserie’s Frosting Bath Slab
    Why did I buy this?

    I’ve used a bath slab from Miss Patisserie before and loved it! So when I saw this was on sale in a fragrance I hadn’t tried before I NEEDED to give this a go.

    What’s a Bath Slab?

    A bath slab is no different to a bath bomb, except it’s shaped as a slab. A segmented rectangular flat block which can be broken up and placed into the bath.

    Packaging

    Frosting Bath Slab comes in a pastel shaded rectangular cardboard box. There’s a large circular hole at the front which give you a peek at what the slab looks like. I like how this is presented. It makes it stand out, great for gift giving and just makes it look very appealing.

    How does this look?

    This is a chunky, rectangular shaped block. It’s segmented like a bar of chocolate and there are 20 segments visible. On one side the bath slab has an almost drip effect on it colour wise. There’s a bright, pink, shimmering shade of colour coming over a section of white which then becomes baby blue in shade. The back is totally one block colour which is blue. Simple but eye catching.

    This is a very thick looking and feeling bath slab. It’s 5 inches in length, over 2.5 inches in width and just over 1 inch in depth. It’s a whopper! Not heavy though but has a typical chalky bath bomb feel to it.

    Fragrance

    I’m not 100% sure what this is supposed to smell like, but this just comes across quite sweetie like to me. I don’t think it’s very specific in scent but it’s nice.

    In the bath

    I threw the whole slab into the bath but it broke in two before it reached the bath. Sat on top of the bath water it fizzed away slowly, releasing a blue colour. A little foam was formed, with both parts of the slab dancing happily around each other.

    It took some time for it to dissolve. When it did, the once clear water became a sea of blue which was incredibly relaxing to get into. I enjoyed being in this bath. It felt like a bath soak at this point and was very easy to unwind. It also caused no issues to my skin which seems very easily irritated at the moment. What was also nice is getting a whiff of the fragrance while using this bath slab. It wasn’t strong, it wasn’t too subtle but it was there and I liked it!

    Recommended?

    This is a good quality, great looking bath product that could easily be used in more than one bath if you don’t want to be greedy! Frosting Bath Slab has a lovely fragrance to it, turned the bath water into a gorgeous colour and it provided a really nice, chilled out bath. So why would I NOT recommend this?

    At full price this is normally around the £7.50 mark. It’s available direct from Miss Patisserie and other online retailers. This will keep any bath bomb addict happy so definitely one to put on a to buy list.

  • Miss Patisserie’s Salted Caramel Bath Slab

    Miss Patisserie’s Salted Caramel Bath Slab

    It took me a while to get into using bath bombs. But once I started there was no stopping me! What I soon discovered was bath bombs came in a variety of different shapes, sizes and designs. One being a bath slab. My first experience of using one of these was when I received one as a Christmas present. The bath slab I was given was Salted Caramel from a brand called Miss Patisserie.

    Packaging

    The bath slab is loving wrapped in a beautifully multi coloured box with a cut out window on the front giving you a glimpse of what’s inside. Very clean in look but quite pretty and eye catching too.

    How does this look?

    This is rectangular in shape, chunky and segmented. Being segmented means you can break off what you want to use. Salted Caramel Bath Slab is multi coloured, containing pinks, blues, purples and little dashes of green. Overall the look isn’t uniformed. Colour wise it’s beautifully laid out erratically like a solid piece of a galaxy. What finishes this bath slab off is a trail of gold dripping over it like icing on a cake. And that’s not all, there’s also lots of shimmer!

    Fragrance

    There’s definitely a slight sweet, buttery, caramel fragrance to this with an almost berry undertone to it with a dash of salt. Although I love my sweet fragrances I’m glad this wasn’t strong. It was subtle, which made it easy to use and enjoy. This type of fragrance can be very sweet, synthetic in smell and sickly which thankfully this wasn’t.

    In the bath

    I popped in 4 squares and what was great to see was how they provided a mini show. They fizzed and danced about, they slightly frothed and they threw out many streams of different colours. Eventually the water turned into a relaxing and slightly regal purple colour. Fragrance wise my bathroom smelt yummy. Not overpowering, but there and enjoyable.

    Bath time!
    On the skin

    I noticed when I was in the water my skin felt silky soft. Once out, my skin felt as if it was nourished, the same way that you would feel if you put on a light body lotion. No stripping or drying of the skin, but a massive boost of hydration which I loved!

    Added bonus?

    I realised after I got out of the bath my skin had a slight shimmer to it!

    Recommended?

    This gave me what I wanted from a bath product. I had a great looking bath, fragrant and this bath slab meant my skin feel lovely. Value wise this slab will easily give one lucky person at least 4 to 6 baths. This costs £6 so great value! You can buy this product direct from Miss Patisserie, or head over to the ASOS website where they sell this range too.
