  • Face Facts Body Products Under £3.00

    Body care. As much as body care is important to many of us during warmer seasons, it’s just as important, if not more SO, during the colder ones. It’s not just about keeping our skin in good condition, but it’s also giving us the chance to pamper and comfort the body when it needs it most. Also, it helps the mind and body relaxed, which is invaluable to health. Do we want to spend a small fortune on various lotions, potions and bath salts? I don’t. For people who are looking for budget friendly bath, body and shower treats, the brand Face Facts has you covered with their range called Scủủp which are raspberry ripple scented products. So what’s available?

    Face Facts Scủủp Raspberry Ripple Bath, Shower & Body Products
    Sugar Body Scrub

    Exfoliating the skin on the body while moisturising, thanks to this scrub containing shea butter and coconut oil. Would be ideal to use, leave on the body and rinse away while soaking in the bath tub. 350ml.

    Sugar Body Scrub
    Foam Body Wash

    Designed to be hydrating and not stripping to the skin, Foam Body Wash is a body wash in a foam consistency. Soft and foamy texture, sweetly fragranced but aims to be an effective cleanser for the body. 240ml.

    Foam Body Wash
    Sweet Bath Sprinkles

    A simple formulated product but sounds and looks fun! Different from bath soaks or bath salts thanks to its powdery consistency. Not sure whether this product foams, fizzes or creates colour or a creamy feel in the bath. Either way it’s a good amount of product for multiple uses (300g).

    Sweet Bath Sprinkles
    Cream Body Lotion

    Using all of the above products or just one of two, the Cream Body Lotion is the last product to put onto the body. Containing shea butter and Vitamin E, this product should hydrate the skin leaving it soft and smooth ready for the day or evening ahead. 200ml.

    Packaging

    I think the packaging is fun in shape and colour. It’s quite simple. Is it sophisticated? No. But I don’t think it’s supposed to. The colouring matches the fragrance and it stands out individually from other Face Facts products.

    Price

    Each product costs only £2.59 each! Great value with good sized products which should provide lots and lots of uses.

    So what do I think?

    This is a good collection of products that covers all body care needs. Pampering and practical which is what everyone and anyone should want. I didn’t get a chance to smell any of the products but if you love your sweeter fragrances, this hopefully will tick that box. At a cost of £2.59 EACH, very budget friendly! So if you’re looking for affordable, bath, shower and body products and don’t have specific skincare needs for the body, have a look at this range in B&M now!

  • The Rose & Thistle Wax Patisserie’s Cuddles Whipped Soap

    Who doesn’t like a one stop shop? I always shop around online or in physical stores to get the best prices for top quality products. But to be able to find a place that sells different things that you equally love is literally heaven! After purchasing wax melts from a vendor called The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie and being very impressed by them, imagine my delight when I found they sold bath products too! I bought a variety of bath bomb type products and whipped soaps a few months ago, including the whipped soap in the fragrance of Cuddles.

    Why did I buy this?

    At the time all the bath products were on sale so reduced in price and great value. Perfect time to try them out and to buy some as gifts. I already love whipped soaps so needed no convincing! The fragrance Cuddles I thought would make a nice change from what I already had scent wise on my bathroom shelf.

    Packaging

    60g of whipped soap comes in a screw top plastic jar. A simple label on the front and an ingredients label on the bottom.

    How does it look?

    Almost a raspberry ripple two tone look going on, but blue and white instead of pink and cream. Beautifully and simply piped into the jar giving it an almost edible look to it. Look wise this resembles a body soufflé because of the little air pockets in it, but has a more thicker looking structure.

    Fragrance

    It’s funny how certain scents you just know and immediately recognise. I never used the traditional baby products on my children when they were tiny e.g powders and lotions. But I know what they smell like. Cuddles reminds me of a well known baby lotion. Its clean, it has delicate floral and powdery notes to it and its near identical in scent to the lotion.

    Texture & Consistency

    Texture wise this is quite solid. I expected it to be softer and airy. What it reminded me of was a body butter but not as waxy. It rubbed into my sponge easily so no issues there, and I quite liked how thick this soap was compared to others I’ve used in the past.

    In the shower

    I used enough to cover half a finger, which then went onto my sponge. I lathered it up under the warm running shower which produced some foam. It cleansed my skin well, but I did go in for a second helping as I felt I needed more to finish off the rest of my body

    My skin

    My skin felt clean but not stripped of any natural oils and seemed very comfortable and quite nourished. The scent of the whipped soap didn’t linger and I couldn’t smell it on myself after my shower.

    Other thoughts?

    I would have liked more foam. Just a little bit more I think would mean I could have used that touch less, and give more of a pampering feel.

    Recommended?

    I quite enjoyed using this. I loved the scent and texture of this, and felt it did what it needed to do on my skin. For my personal use, this jar would be too small. For it to be practical I would need this to be at least double the size because I would be replacing this way too often. Generous sample size at 60g to try out. And as part of a gift, stocking filler or hamper, this size is great! Overall a lovely introduction to the bath product side of The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie, which I would be happy to try again but more likely to give to others as gifts. Fancy owning your own whipped soap, get your own Cuddles here now for £3.50.
