Bath and Body Shop UK

Bicky from Tastes Like Glitter let me know about Bath and Body Shop - an online shop selling some American bath and beauty products, brands include Bath and Body Works, Slatkin and Co and Lip Smacker as well as some UK brands. I ordered some antibacterial hand gels (Pocketbac), a candle and some soap. 

The order arrived quickly and came in cute wrapping:

I had used soaps from Bomb Cosmetics before and loved them so I ordered some more, Sweet Surrender, Foaming Fudge and Mellow Marshmallow. (The soaps were £2.49 per slice)

I then ordered a mini Slatkin and Co candle in Twisted Peppermint (£2.99) and some Pocketbac hand gels in Caramel Apple, Blueberry Cake Donut and Chocolate Creme Donut.

I did have an issue with my order though, two items were missing, so I emailed the company that evening, not expecting a response till the morning. Ten mins later I receive an apologetic email but also one item which was missing they had run out of, so I had to choose another. The two missing items were delivered within days, I was impressed. Even though there was an issue with my order the problem was resolved quickly. 

I would def say check this out if you are in the UK and want to try out some American brands as well as some well know British brands at a slightly cheaper price. The Pocketbacs are amazing, I have become hooked on them ever since Nicole at Noir Lacquer started sending me some in our swaps and Christmas presents (this site has a small selection but they are good to try)

Squeaky Clean

When I was on my friends hen do in Newquay I managed to fit in a quick shopping trip with a couple of the other girls. There were lots of one of quirky shops which had lots of trinkets and homey bits which I loved. 

I then came across a brand I hadn't heard of before, Bomb Cosmetics in this shop on the high street. There was an offer on, any three soaps for £7, each chunk of soap was hefty so I thought this was a good deal. These are the three I picked up:

I love how all the soaps look, they all have some kind of cute design suspended in the middle. I think there were more beautiful colours and patterns, but these three soaps were the ones which I loved the smell of the most.

I chose Berry The Hatchet, Dark Pleasures and Crystal Waters, I even love the name of these soaps. Each chunk is 100g. 

A closer look at each soap:

Berry The Hatchet:

I love the smell of this one, it is so juicy, kind of like those sweets opal fruits (or star burst as they are now called). When I first saw this one on the stand I thought it would smell of lavender simply because of the colour, so I was very surprised to get this strong fruity scent. 

Next up is Dark Pleasures:

This is such a soothing, comforting scent, it reminds me of having a bath with the radox original bubble bath. I feel like this would be a great winter soap, whereas Berry The Hatchet is light and fruity in comparison, could for a pick-me-up. Dark Pleasures is a deep, warm cosy scent. Once lathered up I found the smell became more intense.

Finally, Crystal Waters:

This soap reminds me of mens shower gel, it smells fresh without being overpowering. Sometimes it is nice to have a plain and simple just clean smelling soap rather than over the top sweet smell.

The soaps lather up really well which I love, I really want to try out more of Bomb Cosmetic's products. I have not seen anywhere near my home that sells it, so I will have to order a batch from their website when these three are finished. I had a gander at their website earlier and I love the look of the bath tulips and bath mallows.

Have you ever tried any products from this brand before?
