Nía Intensive Luxury Creamy Shower Mousse Review

Hi Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)

I'm a big believer in buying and supporting Irish. I'm always on the look out for home-grown makeup and beauty companies in particular, and Nía is a relatively new one to me! Nía was founded by Celia O'Grady, a skin care expert with over 30 years experience in the field. Nía products are hand made in Limerick using Irish ingredients where possible and all products used are 100% natural.
I received their intensive luxury shower cream mousse in my goodie bag at the IBY meet up back in August. I hadn't heard of the brand prior to that day so I was delighted to be introduced to a new Irish skincare company.


I don't recall ever using a shower mousse before so I was excited to see what was in store! I had pretty much fallen in love with the product before I had even used it just based on the scent alone. Honestly, the fragrance is simply divine. This creamy mousse is infused with ingredients such as:
  • Aloe Vera
  • Coconut Oil
  • Honey
  • Vitamin C and
  • Orange Oil


In the pot the product has a thick balm like consistency but once it comes into contact with water it becomes much more creamy in texture. A little goes a long way with this product, I find that you only need a small scoop because the mousse forms a nice foamy lather when worked into the skin.


My eczema has been quite bad over the last 6 months, the worst it has been in years and I'm finding it hard to come across in shower products that don't further irritate my skin. It's been a bit of a trial and error process over the last little while but I'm delighted to report that this is one of the products that suits! The mousse leaves my skin feeling rather soft and I love how the fresh scent lingers on the skin after the shower. 

A little pricey at €14.95 but as I said a little goes a long way. For me, for something that actually helps soothe my skin it's worth every penny. I'm almost at the bottom of my tub so it won't be long before I order another!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!

Lush Intergalactic Bath Bomb Review

Hi Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)


In my last Lush related post I had said that it had been a while since I had the time to flake out and have a bath but I'm making it my mission to start having some 'me' time once again! I'm going to review the Lush Intergalactic bath bomb for you today and this absolutely amazing product has been sitting in my unit since last October, a complete and utter sin I know. Last Thursday I stayed in the Radisson Blu St Helens Hotel and I popped this in my bag to bring with me. There is nothing I love more than having a long soak in the bath, especially if it's in a hotel. I don't know what it is I can't explain why, all I know is it's always just pure bliss haha!


Intergalactic is probably one of the most interesting looking bath bombs that I have picked up from Lush to date. It completely lives up to its same, just look at the wonderful array of colours it boasts!


The description that accompanies this bath bomb is as follows:

"Ground control to major bomb. Prepare for take off as this awesome mix of peppermint and popping candy explodes in your bath creating a scent of an intergalactic 80's rogue. Launch it into the water to become the guardian of your own galaxy."

Intergalactic contains peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, vetivert oil, and cedarwood oil. The only scent from that list that I am not familiar with is vetivert oil but out of the four oils contained in this bath bomb the peppermint oil was definitely the most prominent scent.

Rather than trying to explain how this bath bomb performs I'm just going to let the pictures do the majority of the talking!


This bath bomb is a fizzer, it shoots and spins quickly making its way around the bath as it dissolves. As it's dissolving the bath bomb releases a rainbow of colours from pinks to greens to blues to yellows! It really is quite magical to watch.





Once the bath bomb has finished dissolving the bath water will have transformed into the most beautiful shade of blue. The other colours don't fade completely though you can still see them in the foamy layer that lies on top of the water. I didn't realise that this was going to be a glittery bath bomb or at least not to this extent. This bath bomb fills the water with gorgeous golden brown glitter particles which reminds me of the stars in the galaxy. A nice touch to this galaxy inspired bath bomb!

I love this bath bomb to pieces and it's one I know that i'll purchase time and time again. Not only for how it makes the bath look but also for how it left my skin feeling, it felt really soft and hydrated. The only other thing that I will say about this is that the glitter leaves behind a residue in the bath so make sure to rinse the bath afterwards as it will be easier to clean then!

I can't remember exactly how much this particular bath bomb was but I think it was around the €5 mark! Lush products are available from Lush stores nationwide :)

Until next time!

Lush Lover Lamp Bath Bomb - A Perfect Gift for Valentines Day!

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)

It has been a few months now since I last reviewed a bath bomb from Lush and its probably been near enough that time since I've had a bath too. Extremely unlike me as I love long soaks in the bath but quite frankly I just haven't had the time lately! Recently I was up in Dublin for the launch of YSL's new Touche Eclat Le Teint foundation and after the event was over myself and another blogger Riona decided to go and do a spot of shopping. Unfortunately I don't have a Lush store near me and being that I was in town I knew I had to stop and check out what they had to offer. As Valentines Day is fast approaching I was hoping they would have some new bits and pieces in stock that I had yet to try, and I was right!


After some pondering I finally decided on the Lover Lamp Bath Bomb. The description of this product according to Lush is as follows:

"Off with the hearts! Pop this amorous Brazilian orange oil and vanilla bomb in the bath and the fair trade orange cocoa butter hearts will melt, softening the water. Self preserving and suitable for Vegans".

What led me to pick out this bath bomb in particular was the fact that it contained cocoa butter. I'm a huge fan of products containing cocoa butter as I find it soothes my eczema, butterball from Lush is a firm favourite of mine. Aside from that though, from reading the rest of the ingredients I thought the bath bomb sounded like a dream so I said I'd give it a go! 


When I popped this into the bath the first thing I noticed was that the bath bomb fizzed around the bath, dissolving very quickly. As it was making its way around the bath I noticed it was spitting out lots of tiny little hearts and was beginning to turn the bath water a cloudy white colour. Initially I couldn't put my finger on the scent, I could just get quite a powdery smell. However when I actually got into the bath after the bomb had fizzled out that was when I could smell the orange and boy was it fantastic! The addition of cocoa butter made the bath water nice and silky and every so often when I moved I'd get that gorgeous hint of orange, a smell very similar to Terrys Chocolate Orange actually. When I got out of the bath I had a residue on my skin similar to as if I had already applied moisturiser, cocoa butter working its magic again!


All in all I'm a huge fan of the lover lamp bath bath it gets a big thumbs up from me. It's definitely one to pick up this Valentines Day whether it be as a gift for a partner or as a treat for yourself! The Lover Lamp bath bomb retails at €5.45 and is available from Lush stores nationwide.

Until next time :)

Lush Twilight Bath Bomb Review

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)

When I walk into Lush now I must admit I'm finding it hard to pick up a bath product that I haven't tried before. It most likely comes as no surprise but I am a Lush addict! When I saw this cute little pink bath bomb that I hadn't tried before I thought, I'll pick it up and stash it away for a rainy day. 


I've been really stressed over the last few weeks and unfortunately when I'm stressed it shows on my skin. My arms were covered with eczema and I also had patches on my forehead and around my nose too, nightmare. As you know I love my baths but I had been putting off having a long soak as I didn't want to irritate my skin further. For the most part my skin is now clear so the other day I busted out my Twilight bath bomb and finally had the bath that I was longing for.


This bath bomb contains ingredients such as essential lavender oils, ylang ylang oils and tonka absolute which aim to relieve stress. Lush state that the bath bomb is 

"our most relaxing bath bomb yet, Twilight is our gentle, reassuring hug for the bath to transform you from worn out to warm and fuzzy."

An absolutely ideal bath bomb I couldn't wait for it to works its magic!


I popped it in the bath and after a few seconds the bath bomb looked like a melted marshmellow. It didn't do anything then for around a minute and I was hugely disappointed but then out of nowhere a blue fizz erupted from the centre of the bath bomb. It began fizzing merrily on its way leaving behind a bright blue trail. 


This bath bomb is a slow fizzer it took absolutely ages to fizzle out. So much so that I hopped in the bath before the bomb had fully dissolved. I just jumped in, laid back and watched the show! The photo below is of one end of the bath before the bath bomb had finished fizzing. The bath water doesn't look like this in the end though, unfortunately. When it has finished dissolving the vibrant colours disappear and you are left with bath water that is more of a lilac/grey colour.


The scent of Twilight is mild, not over powering or as strongly scented as other Lush bath bombs that I have tried but still pleasant all the same. If you are familiar with Lush bath bombs you will probably understand when I saw that this bath bomb left the water feeling silky, a similar effect to the Butterball bath bomb. This is also a glittery bath bomb so you will have glitter particles running through the water. Don't forget to give the bath a quick rinse afterwards so that they don't stick to the bottom of the tub!

Overall I really enjoyed this bath bomb. It left my skin feeling nice and soft afterwards and of course smelling fantastic. I was a bit let down by the colour of the water but it wouldn't put me off repurchasing, this will definitely be a bath bomb i'll buy again!

The Twilight bath bomb at €4.50 and is available from Lush stores nationwide :)
Until next time,

Lush Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar Review

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)


Another bubble bar review you say? I simply cannot help myself. In all honestly though, can you blame me when the goodies are Halloween themed?
Nothing says Happy Halloween like a Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar................ am I right, AM I RIGHT? Most definitely >:)

The day I purchased this bubble bar pretty much consisted of a series of unfortunate events from the moment I woke up. I was racing to get my bus after an event in the lashing rain when I decided it was probably for the best if I stopped into Stephens Green to pick up an umbrella. I literally got from the top of Grafton Street to the bottom when the umbrella snapped and blew inside out. I knew I was now going to get saturated and then I would have to sit on a bus for the next hour and a half in my sopping wet clothing.
Nerves.Were.Raw.
Feeling sorry for myself I dashed into Lush and picked up the first thing that caught my eye, the Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar. I was tight on time so I didn't get to browse but knowing that a bath was awaiting me when I got home made the bus journey all the better!


I repurchased this bubble bar a couple of times last year I loved it that much. Its no wonder it was the first thing that caught my eye, it is extremely glittery.
Even though you can see that the bubble bar glistens in the light, the photos don't do it justice at all. I literally cannot begin to describe how shimmery it is!


That shimmer transfers like no other haha I was covered from head to toe in glitter after taking the products shots!


The Lush Bubble Bars can be a little pricey so if you really want to get value for your money I would suggest dividing the bar into halves or even quarters depending on the size of the bar. I usually just chop the bubble bar in half and I'm good to go!

When you crumble this bubble bar under the tap it turns the water a light orange almost yellow colour, the more of the bubble bar you use the more intense the colour will be. The bubble bar contains juniperberry, grapefruit and lime oils and it definitely has a citrusy scent to it. I was a bit surprised by the scent to be honest I thought it might have been a more musky, spicy scented bubble bar but I enjoy the fragrance all the same.

The Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar will set you back €4.95 and gets a massive thumbs up from me. The only thing I will say is that you will need to rinse out your bath afterwards. The glitter from the pumpkin sits at the bottom of the bath so if you don't rinse this down the drain straight away, it hardens and you're going to find yourself scrubbing for dear life to get it off ha!

Have you tried the Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar or any of the other Lush Halloween products? 
Let me know :)
Until next time,

Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil Review

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)

Back in August I attended the IBY (Irish Beauty YouTuber) Meetup organised by the lovely Dale from MonsterMakeupXx. I'll link her YouTube channel here, go check her out she's an absolute scream! Dale organised such a fantastic day for us all, it was filled with laughter and chats about all things beauty. On the day we had speakers from different brands come in to talk to us about their products and there were also demo's throughout the day too. One of those speakers was Noelle O'Connor, founder and creator of the Irish brand Tan Organic! It was extremely interesting to hear about her story, her time spent on Dragons Den, her rise to success and the struggles she has encountered along the way.

I had never tried any products from the Tan Organic range before so when we were presented with a goodie bag filled with some bits and pieces to try, I was over the moon! One of the first products I decided to try out was the Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil. I decided to reach for this product first because I had never tried out a dry oil before, I was curious as I really didn't know what to expect from it.


Starting with the packaging, the oil itself is housed within a 100ml thick glass bottle. There is a tonne of information printed on the bottle in relation to the ingredients and the products uses, to name a couple. The wooden lid twists off to reveal the opening which is just a small hole in the top of the bottle. Usually I wouldn't like an opening like this, generally I prefer a pump with products. However, the hole isn't large enough for you to accidentally pour out more product than you need so no oil goes to waste. I'm pleased with the packaging its high quality and exactly what I would expect considering the price.


As I've said previously, I have never tried a dry oil before but I was intrigued when I heard Noelle talk about this products multiple uses. I really enjoy multipurpose products and in this case it helps me justify the price. The oil contains a cocktail of fantastic ingredients, some of which include; 
  • Argan Oil
  • Borage Seed Oil 
  • Rosehip Oil
  • Macadamia Oil
  • Orange Peel Oil
  • Avocado Oil
  • Jojoba Seed Oil
  • Hemp Seed Oil
  • Sweet Almond Oil
The Moisturising Dry Oil can be used in the bath, as a cuticle oil, in your hair as a treatment, as a face and body moisturiser and more. I like to add a few drops to my bath water the aroma it gives is just gorgeous and it also leaves my skin feeling silky soft. In terms of a hair treatment, the way I use the product is I apply a few drops to the ends of my hair around half an hour prior to washing, then I wash and dry my hair as normal. I find it helps soften the ends of my hair and also keeps the frizz at bay. Finally, I use the oil to give a sheen to my skin and also as an all over body moisturiser after my shower. I decided not to chance the oil on my face but I really enjoy how it leaves my skin feeling. I've very dry skin and I also suffer from eczema and I find the oil has helped to soften my skin without irritating the patches of eczema that I have.
The oil gives a lovely sheen to the skin which I find very flattering especially for nights out or for special occasions. I don't think it absorbs into the skin that quickly, it takes a few minutes but it doesn't leave a greasy/slippery/oily residue on the skin afterwards. What I also like is that the smell lingers on the skin after the oil has been absorbed by the skin. It has a lovely citrus scent which I really enjoy!



A bottle of the Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil will set you back €24.99. Initially I thought it was quite dear however, taking into consideration it's a multipurpose product and that a little goes a very long way, I can justify spending that amount of money on it. When it does eventually run out I will be picking myself up another bottle.

If you are interested in picking up some of the Tan Organic range, their products can be purchased online or in selected pharmacies around the country. For more information about stockists, click here.

Have you tried the Tan Organic Dry Oil or a dry oil from another brand? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts :)
Until next time,

Lush Comforter Bubble Bar Review

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)

It has been quite a while since I last posted a review on here, unfortunately the video side of things take up a lot of my time. Recently I started posting review videos over on my channel, I find sometimes a written post isn't enough for a product. Depending on the product you need to see a product in action to really get a feel for how it performs. I'll be making more of an effort to post those along with written reviews on the blog, it'll most likely be weekly. I upload my tutorials on a Saturday and I'm still trying to settle on a day for the blog posts. Well, if your reading this I have already decided on a day so thats that!


Lush is most definitely my all time favourite place for bubbly bits, the selection is simply out of this world. I'm not ashamed to say that lately I have developed a bit of an obsession with the bubble bars, in particular "The Comforter".
I for one hate the Summer time, I'm not using that word lightly either. It simply doesn't appeal to me, I've been longing for the colder months. I love that chill in the air, the crispy leaves and how it gets dark early in the evening. If Winter were all year round I'd be the happiest woman on the planet!
In the Autumn/Winter months, I especially love my bath times.
 A piping hot bath with some glorious goodies and a hot chocolate is just pure bliss. Ain't no water charges stopping me!


I love how I can get around 6 baths out of just one bar. As you can see from the picture above I used the smallest amount for my bath and look at the effect it gives! Such fantastic value for money. Sometimes I might break bigger sections off the bar, giving me around 4 baths. The only real difference I noticed by using a bit more of the bar was that the colour of the water appeared a bit brighter, I still had bucket loads of bubbles either way!
I find the most effective way to use the bubble bar is to break off a piece and let it dissolve under the tap. I learnt the hard way that chucking it into the bath didn't work, neither did crumbling it into the bath haha. 


The bar itself reminds me of a mix between cotton candy and marshmallows. 
The fruity smell of this bubble bar will leave you drooling. I personally love sweet smelling things but if they aren't your cup of tea don't worry, although the bar is sweet it doesn't have an overpowering/sickly sweet smell.
After my bath I didn't notice that my skin felt any different but I smelled fantastic and was feeling truly relaxed :)

Upfront the bar might appear a little pricey at €5.95 but like I said it can be used multiple times. If you break the bar into as many pieces as I do thats only around a euro a bath! 

Have you tried this bubble bar or any others?
Let me know!

Lush Happy Bathday Gift Box

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)


Bit of a late post haha but my birthday was back in December and my god was I spoiled! I got lots and lots of little bits and bobs some of which you can bet your bottom dollar there will be a review on *cough* Sigma Creme de Couture Collection *cough*
First up is this gorgeous Happy Bathday Gift Set from Lush.
Quite frankly I couldn't believe how I hadn't heard of this set before seeing as I love my baths so much. If ever I could have received a perfect gift…this was it!
The pretty patterns and quirky colourful designs make this such an inviting little gift, its like something from a cartoon...I just couldn't wait to open it! 
I felt about 5 years old again..except this time I was carefully unravelling the big bow and wrapping paper. I was in my element :)



If you have never tried any products from Lush before, simply love your bath times or are looking for a great birthday gift..well then this is the present for you! Lush have filled this gift box with various different bath bombs, ballistics and bubble bars so there really is something in there to suit everyone.


One thing I have always loved about Lush is that they have stickers on each package telling you who exactly packaged your gift set.
Its a lovely touch and makes your Lush experience that little bit more personal.


As usual with Lush my goodies are well packaged with the addition of some streamers and a party blower. I actually thought these were quite funny, although it is a birthday gift box I didn't expect to see items like these inside haha well played Lush! :)

Now onto the goodies!


Karma Bubble Bar

Not too long ago I was staying in a hotel so I decided to pop this little bubble bar in my bag in the hope that the hotel had a bath! Thankfully it did, seriously I love nothing more than a bath in a hotel. Unlimited hot water mwahaha >:)
This was my first time using a bubble bar so not knowing what to do with it I used it like I would a bath bomb…I just chucked it right on in. 
I was quite confused when it didn't start bubbling and dissolving in the bath.. maybe its a dud I thought. That was until I could see a smile quickly spread across Joe's face. 
'Your meant to hold it under the tap Eimear, thats how it works.' 
I mean seriously, since when did himself become an expert on bath products? Some of the boys in my class in college hadn't even heard of a bath bomb until I showed them a few cheeky purchases I had made while on lunch!
So how did he know how to use it and I didn't.…tis a mystery.
Anyway, I scooped the bubble bar out of the water and held it under the tap instead. Thats when the magic happened. Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!
I had more bubbles than I knew what to do with.
That was the second thing I didn't know, I didn't realize you could use it several times by breaking pieces off the bubble bar..and that was why I had snow suds haha! Oops on my account again.


Big Blue Bath Ballistic 

I can see why this is called the 'Big Blue' Bath Ballistic…its absolutely massive!
And also blue, but you definitely would never have guessed that haw haw.
Due to its size you could divide it in two and keep some for another time.
I didn't I was way to eager and chucked the whole thing in!
The second it hit the water it started spinning and fizzing around the bath, much to my amusement. (Clearly you can tell I don't get out much)
When the bath bomb had fully dissolved my bath was a gorgeous vibrant shade of blue and was filled with seaweed and sea salt.
I can imagine this wouldn't be everyones cup of tea but I couldn't wait to jump on in! The bath bomb is also infused with lavender and lemon oils so it really is the perfect bath bomb if you want some time to yourself to just flake out.
My skin was nice and soft afterwards which I think was down to the seaweed and naturally I smelled divine :)
The only downside to this bath bomb is cleaning up afterwards..ugh.
Scooping seaweed out of the bath was not a fun time haha!


Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar

I learnt my lesson from the karma bubble bar. I was fully prepared this time, I knew what to do haha! For awhile I didn't know which one this was. After some process of elimination I decided it had to be the blue skies bubble bar. Even when I looked online though my bubble bar looked completely different to the one on the Lush website and to other bloggers that had reviews up.
I kind of just took it that because its hand made everyones varies!
The bubble bar is enriched with cinnamon, frankincense, and patchouli. 
 It smells so good, not as strong a scent as a bath bomb but still quite delightful, I still have a quaint but pleasant smell on my skin after my bath which is always nice! Overall I was quite delighted with this bubble bar :)



Fizzbanger Bath Ballistic 

This was one of my favourite from the set that I will definitely repurchase again. Filled with cinnamon and appley goodness, simply unreal!
I was really surprised when I popped this ballistic in the water as it changed colour…..twice! I was expecting the bath water to be a bright shade of yellow but in actual fact it changed blue then green! This was because the bath ballistic is layered. The patterns and colour of the water looked so cool, it actually reminded me of marble cake….or just the marble effect in general.


Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar

Again, we have another bubble bar in the set. Thats three in total!
Three bath ballistics and three bubble bars.
To be honest I much would have rather preferred more bath ballistics over the bubble bar as they are a bit more exciting. Along with the fact that I find there to be little to no scent off of my skin after the use of a bubble bar where as with the bath ballistics not only I smell…the entire house does! I love it!
This bubble bar has a really zesty feel to it, not too overpowering though.
I had actually read reviews on this one before so I was surprised when I saw my bubble bar as the coloring was different. Any I had seen before were either pink, green or blue! Lush must just change up the colours from time to time.
As my bubble bar was a cream shade it didn't change the colour of the water like the other bubble bars did. It wouldn't have made a difference either way because I couldn't see the water with all the bubbles! I was in bubble heaven :)


Avobath Bath Ballistic

This was the very first bath bomb I used out of the set!
I was sick around the time I used this bath bomb so I figured the ingredients would do myself some good. Lush describe this ballistic   

"like a reviving lemongrass spa bath, complete with an avocado and olive oil massage - almost!"

Which was another reason I picked up this ballistic to use first, the lemon scent really stood out from the rest of the bunch. I filled my bath as usual and I popped the whole thing in, some people divide it up into pieces but I am terrible at savoring things…I wanted it all!
Anytime I use a Lush bath product it can be sniffed throughout the entire house, its mad but I love it!
However this was where my love for the bath bomb ceased unfortunately.
I didn't find the bath ballistic to have any moisturizing properties even though olive oil is one of the key ingredients. I was hoping it would soothe my dry skin but that was not the case.
With all of the Lush bath products I have used to date, the smell of the bath bomb lingers on the skin for hours after I get out of the bath. With this one I couldn't smell the product on my skin at all after I had gotten out of the bath.
Unfortunately so this one was a little disappointing.

On the whole I would give this set a massive thumbs up! 
I loved trying out a range of the Lush bath bombs, bubble bars and ballistics. It enabled me to try out products that I might not have purchased on there own otherwise. Now I know what I will definitely be picking up again and what I might give a miss. It makes a perfect gift for any Lush fan similarly for anyone who has never tried any products before :)

What are your favourite Lush buys?
I'm always looking to try out new bath bombs!

Lush Sex Bomb Bath Bomb

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)

Happy Valentines Day 


Today I have a review of a gorgeous bath bomb from Lush Cosmetics.
That should be no surprise to you all at this stage it is the number one place I go to if I am in need of some bath buys!
After reading some of the other girls posts on their Valentines Day picks from Lush I decided to go and see what all the buzz was about for myself :)
I was greeted by a lovely girl called Susie who introduced me to various different products and gave me a demonstration on how the bubble bars worked. That is another thing I love about Lush, the staff are always so friendly!
After some time I finally settled on a few bath buys, the first item I picked up was the Lush Sex Bomb Bath Bomb.


When I popped this into the bath it immediately changed the water to a gorgeous shade of pink. After it had fully dissolved I noticed a lovely little flower  floating on top of the water. I assumed that the rose petals in the bath bomb would dissolve once it came into contact with the water, as its made from rice paper it lingers :)
The bath bomb is enriched with jasmine, clary sage and ylang ylang which are powerful aphrodisiacs. This combination of ingredients provides for the ultimate relaxation session!
I had such a lovely soak in the bath the other night, pure bliss just wasn't the word for it. Afterwards, not only myself and my bathroom smelled delicious..but the entire house too! Win :D


A gorgeous little gift for anyone especially on a day like today :)
Perfect for Valentines Day whether you are in a relationship or not…
why not treat yourself!
You will not only smell great but feel great afterwards.
At a price €3.50 you can't go wrong :)

Hope you all have a lovely day today with whatever the day brings!

Bomb Cosmetics Bath Buttercups

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)

Today I have another review of some bath goodies I picked up recently!
Last week I blogged about a couple of bath bombs I picked up from a company called 'Bomb Cosmetics'. If you haven't checked that out i'll leave the link here.
Bomb Cosmetics offer a wide range of bath goodies at very affordable prices.
My last review was of the Bomb Cosmetics 'Bath Mallows', today as the title suggests is a review of the 'Bath Buttercups'.
The company also stocks butter loops, bath creamers, cocoa swirls, bath brûlées, bath blasters and much much more!
I am going to do my best to pick up a couple of bath bombs from each of the ranges and let you know how I get on with them :)

The first bath buttercup I picked up was this little guy here.
Like I said in my last review these products look just as good as they smell!
Not to be mistaken for cupcakes, unfortunately they cannot be eaten… :(



Coconut Creme Buttercup

I love anything and everything coconut, so as you can imagine this bath buttercup was a must have for me!
Enriched with jasmine and coconut oils this bath buttercup is so soothing on the skin. The first thing I noticed was that once the bath buttercup had fully dissolved, the water was slightly creamy. The buttery goodness of this buttercup definitely helps to nourish and soften the skin.

Next I picked up this pretty pink bath buttercup!
Do not underestimate the size of this one, its jam packed with fruity goodness.
Some of the fantastic fruits included in this one are:
cranberries, strawberries, rasberries, limes, plums, peaches, apples and more!
You see?
I wasn't joking :)


Superfruiter Bath Buttercup

As I mentioned in my previous review, you need to clean the bath straight afterwards. Otherwise the decorations will stick to the sides of the bath and can cause some staining. I haven't noticed any staining from any of the range thankfully, just some particles stuck to the sides of the bath.
So be sure to wash away any excess straight after you have had your bath :)

Again, for me its the size of these buttercups.
I find that as they are quite small the scent of the buttercups gets lost if you are filling yourself quite a high bath. I have picked up a couple of the 'Bath Blaster' which are significantly larger so I'm super excited to see how I get on with those. 

Very impressed once again with my picks from Bomb Cosmetics.
If you have a pharmacy that stocks the range near you, definitely pop in!
If not you can always order online over at BombComsetics.co.uk :)

Like the bath mallows, these bath buttercups set me back only €1.95.
