Laura mericer Creme Brûlée Honey Bath

I first smelt this out of curiosity last year when i was walking past it in Selfridges. Im not particularly  a fan of creme brluee scented products so I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. Its very rich  and sweet but not too sickly. However when I seen the price tag of £33 I forced myself to walk away as I knew it was going to be hard to resist but I just couldn't justify the price. I kept this product in the back of my mind and after 2 months I was still craving the scent. Then I sat down and tried to find a reason as to why it wouldn't be so ridicules for me to spend that much on one bath product. I figured that I  don’t really give that much thought into buying lush products for my bath, and bearing in mind that I use a whole bomb or melt in one bath, at 3-4 pounds each that means i could get about 10 baths for £33. Now when i compare that to the honey bath (300g), I figure that I can get just as much if not more baths for that price. I have used it about 4 times so far and you can hardly tell, a little goes a long way.

So I gave in and treated myself to a jar as a christmas present ‘to my self” and I'm glad that I did. I order it from Space Nk and I had a £5 worth of points so it worked out a little cheaper which was a bonus. The honey bath comes with a wooden honey dipper that you dip in the ‘honey’ and then hold it under the running tap which distributes the product evenly and creates some lovely soothing bubbles. In addition I like to use this product as a body wash both in the bath and shower so it doubles up as a multipurpose product. I lather it on my skin before I get in the shower and then wash it off and it leaves my skin so silky smooth and smelling divine. The scent also lingers in my bathroom for a good while afterwards which is nice.

I will most certainly be repurchasing this again although I don't think that will be for a long time due to how long it lasts. I am also looking forward to trying the other scents such as the Ambre Vanille and the Fresh Fig.

Zoella Beauty Range

Zoella (Zoe Sugg) is a youtuber and beauty blogger that I have been following for some time now. I think Zoe gives good, honest reviews and opinions on different products and it is thanks to her (and some other of my favourite bloggers) that I have tried some beauty products that I may not have even complimented buying before. Since I have been following various beauty bloggers and you tubers my stash has grown quite substantially and I have adopted some new favourites into my routine. Therefore I was excited when i heard that Zoella was bringing her own beauty range out as I knew that i had similar tastes to her and with her personally designing the products I knew they would appeal to me, although I didn't expect to like them as much as I do. 

The range includes: Soak Opera bath soak/shower cream, Creamy Madly Deeply body lotion, Blissful Mistful (body mist), Fizz bar, Candle and 3 beauty bags with different themes that all mean something to Zoe.

I am going to talk about the fizz bar, bath soak/shower cream and the candle as these are the 3 that appealed most to me and I was lucky enough to receive them as christmas gifts. 

The fizz bar comes in a block with 8 small squares that you can break off to put in your bath. I like this idea because i can choose the amount of squares to suit my bath for example if I'm getting a long relaxing bath with a lot of water in i will put 2-3 squares in or you are just getting a shallow bath you could just use 1 (not that my baths are ever anything but nearly overflowing haha). I like to mix this with the Soak Opera bath soak/shower gel to create some bubbles. The smell from both of these is just soo nice, it fills up the bathroom without being to strong. I'm not very good when it comes to describing scents but if i had to try i would describe it as a nice fresh smell with a hint of floral. The Soak opera can also be used as a shower cream if you don't have a bath or you just prefer showers which is great as it leaves you super clean and smelling lovely. I can definitely feel the difference to my skin when using this, it’s very gentle and smoothing it just feels like my body is being wrapped in cotton wool which is nice and comforting. Finally I like to light my candle and place it on the side of the bath. This helps me to relax and sets a nice calming atmosphere. The candle gives off a fair amount of scent when used with the other products from the range just intensifies the smell. This candle was so nice that I didn't want it to finish and when I was about half way through it (it lasts a good while), I decided that I wanted to purchase a few more and place them around my bedroom. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the candles I'm not sure if they have been discontinued which would be a shame if they have. If you know where I can get my hands on any please leave a comment and let me know. 

All in all I am very impressed with what I have tried so far and can’t wait to try some of the other products from the range, Blissful Mistful is next on my list ….
