Not Really An Explosive Experience
Greetings and salutations! Today's review is over another type of product I've review before and a product that I personally have a massive obsession with-bath bombs! After the last bath bombs I reviewed I was offered by a different company to review their bath bombs as well at a discounted price.
I am all about a fizzy grand time so I took them up on the offer and anxiously awaited the arrival of my box of 6 (SIX!) bath bombs. The box arrived and I was super happy. The packaging is absolutely adorable and on point and I included pictures of it below so you can see what an awesome job they did at boxing these up. They arrived in perfect condition, not broken at all, labels all on and facing the right way, all dressed up in a little suit and tie.
Unfortunately that's where the happiness ended. All of these bath bombs smell exactly the same and that smell is....plastic/soap? There is supposed to be a variety in scents here, to quote directly from the sales page: "Lavender, Chamomile, Sunflower & Sandalwood Oil", "Black Pepper & Eucalyptus Oil", "Sweet Orange Oil & Bergamot Oil" " Peppermint oil, Rosemary Oil & Juniper Oil", "Palmarosa, Rose & Ylang Ylang Oil" AND "Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Rosemary & Eucalyptus Oil". So IE: They SHOULD all smell completely different.
After examining further I realized the packaging itself smelled of this plastic/soap combo and got hopeful once more that perhaps they had just absorbed some of the scent of the packing supplies and once they were released from their scent-killing chamber they would fill my nose with glee and delight. That was not so, however.
Then the test: I used one. "Get Lucky" in fact-the "Sweet Orange Oil & Bergamot Oil" combo. It fell in the bath. It rolled around. It kinda started to dissolve some. The water remained the same color. Particles of getting lucky (ick-that sounds awful!) remained in the bath with me for the full extent of the bath. The scent was pretty great-oh wait, that was my shampoo being opened. There was pretty much zero scent. To sum it up-the worlds most disappointing bath especially after my last bath bomb experience. So, then....
All In All: 🌈🌈 2/10 rainbows. I am sad.
The Good: The reason it gets two rainbows-the packaging, the names of the bath bombs, the scents they are SUPPOSED to have all sounds great. I love it. I am in love with the idea of this bath bomb set. Had it been what it promised it would have easily been at least a 9/10. Someone in advertising rocks, someone in production does not.
The Bad: All the rest. They fail scent test, they fail execution, they left me with gritty particles of sadness. They told me they were never gonna give me up and then they let me down.
Where You Can Find It: If you have a mother you want to let down this year because she's stopped packing extra cookies for you when she drops the kids back off or a sister-in-law that's been particularly snarky to you lately about your differing views on parenting/politics/the correct season to plant a tomato then this is the gift for you! For the low price of $16.95 you can find this product at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5A39SM and get your sweet plastic and soap revenge. You are welcome, friend.
In summary: Nope. Thank you for reading everyone and stay awesome!
