Pretty Suds | First Time Buying

Hey guys, so I've recently been getting 'bored' of using the same bath products over and over (I have always stuck to using Lush). I've been following a independent company who make all hand made products ranging from bath to candles that are NOT animal tested! Having my first wage last month I decided to treat myself to some new products, I decided to make a small but worthy purchase from Pretty Suds (to see what they are like before buying).

So what did I order?
Strawberry Milkshake Bath Bomb 
I decided to purchase this product purely by the name and description from the site, I love anything 'food' or sweet and sugary scented. First off the size is very generously large, I noticed when I fizzed away in the water it took a long time to dissolve compared to lush bath bombs (which I actually preferred). The water turned very deep in colour, and smelled just as amazing as any other bath bomb I've used before I was truly shocked.

Poke Ball

Now as everyone knows since the new Pokermon App arrived a few months back everyone has been crazy over it, personally I've never been a Pokermon fan. But I saw this product being used over on Pretty Suds Instagram and LOVED the fact once it fizzed away you got a small figure inside the center. I've saw similar stuff where you get a jewlery piece etc inside the center of a bath bomb or candle on social media but has always had a high price. When I saw the affordable price of this I just had to get one, I was so excited to see which figure I would get inside but also because it looks exactly like a pokerball. 

It's scent is very fruity and fresh, exactly like a watery cucumber and watermelon that's just been sliced open something very different to what I've ever had previously with bath bombs.

Sunny Side Up (Charity Egg Box)

When I saw this on the website I just had to get one, first off because you get 6 mini bath bombs which I thought was a great way to trail out the scents and get a good feel for the products (They are smaller versions of what you can buy from the site). Plus the company are donating 50p to the LGBT foundation which is great support and something I love to see is a company being charitable. 

When they arrived I loved the packaging, in a small egg cardboard box holder and a small but worthy amount of paper string straw type of thing (hard to describe), but made them look that little bit more pretty. As soon as you open the box you get a powerful sweet sugary scent of different smells powering through the air (something I get very excited over). Originally I didn't expect them to be great for a luxury bath because of size, but they honestly worked just like a normal large bath bomb they turned the water into it's true deep colour and smelled so strong they was perfect for a luxury bath full of hot water to relax in!

Candyfloss (Luxury Wax Tart)
When I saw this product on the website I was unsure what to expect purely because the picture looked so detailed and delicate I didn't really expect the smell to be anything that strong. (I thought it would be design over scent) But I was completely wrong! It came looking out of this world stunning, such delicate detail with glitter and sprinkles. Plus it has a very strong scent of sugary sweet candyfloss reminding me of being at a arcade or theme park.

FAQ Tips and facts below;

Something extra to note is the fact the company off a points scheme (something I didn't notice till after purchasing), but for every product you buy you receive a specific amount of points (the higher the points the higher the price). When you get the specific amount of points stated on each product you can cash out / purchase and pay £0! (excluding postage). With this order it came to £12.90 + £3.95 shipping + £0.58p VAT totaling at £16.85 and received 51 points!

Plus after ordering I received a thank you email with a 10% off my next order coupon code (which expires 2 weeks from order date) which is an amazing gift if I'm honest! 

Packaging;

You can 100% tell that everything is hand made and time is took to make everything look perfect! First off all the products came in a decently large size cardboard box taped all over with fragile tape. It had my address written on a super cute sticker that had pretty suds logo, and slogan on with return address (which stood out a lot and I loved it, even my postman commented how different and unique it was). Inside the box it was packed carefully with the white circular like soft bubble type packaging to ensure nothing moved around. 

Each product was carefully packaged itself in a see-through plastic bag, tied with a string and paper tag or sticker attached to give the product name and detail. (Something I love, as it's not only an extra layer of protection but it looks great to give as a gift) 

The receipt / invoice was also placed in a cute blue envelope with a pretty suds sticker to close shut (something else I've never seen before but very unique and stylish).

Overall, I'm in love with the products, the company, and the packaging with the extra coupons being a major bonus. I will be ordering again soon when I get more money and trying out some other products which is very excited. And it's safe to say, I think I've found a new love for bath bombs. X
