Hey guys, so I thought I'd write a short blog post dedicated to the Medium size Dancing Reindeer gift set from Pretty Suds. This way I can explain a little more about each product, and show off more photos.


So the Medium Sack is £9.95 each (view the product on Pretty Suds website here), it comes in a super cute thick wool like material brown bag with a reindeer on top and clasps shut by wrapping the string around the top. (I'm actually obsessed with this design, you don't need to tie the string, it just wraps around the material and stays firmly) So whats inside?;

 x1 Yule Be Mine (Bath Bomb) - RRP £3.45
This bath bomb smells so much like chocolate, sweet, sugary and candy like with a cute Christmas pud design. The green mistletoe leaf on top doesn't seem to melt very well when the rest of the bath bomb has fizzed away, it takes awhile to softly melt sort-of like a melt. The product itself left the water a bit of a dull, pale brown like colour (could be improved to be better, but then again what do you expect from a brown bath bomb lol) and the scent lasted hours after I had cleaned/rinsed the bath out.
Rate: 9/10

x1 Chocowork Orange (Soap Slice)
This soap is again very sweet, chocolate and orange spiced like (it reminds me of Terry's Chocolate Orange). The size of this soap bar is pretty generous typically what size you would get from Lush etc.


x1  Bath Scrunchie 

There isn't much to say about this, you get a soft white regular size Scrunchie to use when your in the bath (or shower).

x1 Choc Nib (Bath Soak)
I was super excited to try this out, I've never used bath soaks, crystals etc before so when this arrived I didn't know what to expect. The tub itself was filled right to the top with chocolate, sweet scented mini crystals and the description on the packaging said to sprinkle the tub over the water. I was completely unsure how much to use, I didn't want to go using the whole lot in one go so I sprinkled about half into the water. It did bring out a strong scent instantly, but honestly, it didn't do much to the bath water I'm not sure if your to use the whole lot or not? Let me know in comments?X

 Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this set it would be a very suitable gift to give someone who has a bath (and enjoys them).

One thing that really bugged me when I placed my first order was I wanted to add more quantities of products but due to the glitchy website it became virtually impossible. So once I made my first order, I managed to go back on the site (instantly) and try to see if I could add multiple products to my basket. 
What I ordered on the first time round;

  • Farther Christmas (bath bomb) - £1.88 RRP £3.76 (x2)
  • Never Mind The Ballistics (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x2)
  • Shoot For The Stars (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x2)
  • Northern Lights (bath bomb) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)
  • Snow Angel (luxury bath oil) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x1)
  • The Christmas Penguin (bubble bar) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)
  • Butterbear (bath bomb) - £0.98 RRP £1.96 (x1)
  • Snow Fairy (shower gel) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)

Of course, this time round it worked perfectly fine... Which meant I ended up ordering even more to add to my lush collection! The one thing that was annoying was the fact I paid for postage TWICE! I did try to contact Lush via email/twitter to ask if they could combine the postage and ship out as one big order but never herd back... (disappointing)

  • Farther Christmas (bath bomb) - £1.88 RRP £3.76 (x6)
  • Never Mind The Ballistics (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x6)
  • Shoot For The Stars (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x4)
  • Northern Lights (bath bomb) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x6)
  • The Christmas Penguin (bubble bar) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)

Overall, I'm not impressed with Lush because of the lack of control they had over the boxing day sale yet again. Plus, when I ordered it took way over 24 hours before I even got a confirmation email yet they took the money instantly out my paypal.

Hey guys, so I recently ordered several things from Pretty Suds for both myself and my mum (we share products). In-case you guys didn't know I am a representative for Pretty Suds in my local area (distributing products locally without delivery charge) - This does NOT mean I get things free, I still pay just like the rest! So what did I get?;


Mr Snowman (Burner) - £8.95 each
Since we are in the festive season my mum desperately wanted to get her hands on this beauty. It's the perfect wax burner for Christmas, so first off you place the tealight at the bottom (there is a gap at the back to slide it in) OR you can easily just slide the snowman's hat off and place inside that way. (Awesome I know!) Then you add the wax melt inside the hat at the top. Having the hat being removable it makes life x10's easier to clean as your not worrying about knocking the entire burner.

Candyland (Bath Bomb) - £3.95 each
First off, I'm in love with this bath bomb because of the colour (pink right?) plus its a rather large size product compared to any you get regularly off Lush etc... (Well I personally think there is a difference in size) As for the scent, WOW! It's so sugary, sweet and soft vanilla like mixed with strawberries so tasty.

Space Cowboy (Bath Bomb) - £3.45 each
This is something very different to what Pretty Suds normally offer, purely because of the design right? It's an large, circular space ship style product with lots of different bright colours (perfect for kids or if your a product lover like myself). When it fizzed away in the bath it left the water a nice soft pinky colour, however I felt like the scent could of improved it seemed as though it wasn't very strong.

Magic Egg (Bath Bomb) - £4.95 each
I put off buying this product for so long because of the expensive price tag it comes with, although its a perfect purchase as a one off luxury bath or to give as a gift. It comes wrapped beautiful with a big red bow on top! You can pick which Pokemon character you wish to have inside (I choose Pikachu of course), the shell of the bath bomb was very unique and different its main colour was white but had a speckle of different light colours of blue, green, pink etc... Plus the size of this product is HUGE, a lot bigger than a regular bath bomb, it took awhile to fizz away in the water orginaly starting to give a milky cream colour to ending up fizzing out a bright pink and blue the closer to the center. The water ended up being a soft voilet (super cute and different to anything I've ever seen before), and the smell was so strong and sweet plus you get a free small toy!

Clean The Air (SOY Wax Melt Bar) - £1.95 each
You get 12 squares on this bar, I usually burn about two chunks a go and the scent lasts several hours. As for the smell of these, I originally expected a fresh, soft 'clean' scent to follow on the name but instead this is much more food like with a hint of orange and spice.

Duvet Day (Little Beanies) - £2.95 each
I was unsure what to expect when ordering these, I originally thought the scent would be very fresh, clean cotton like. But when they arrived I felt like they was very different, very sweet and reminded me a lot of the millions sweets you can buy at a candy store. The tub itself isn't overly huge, but you get a very decent amount of beanies inside - when I first tried them out I burnt three at once, it was way strong and powerful and honestly I think I could of gotten away with melting just two! I honestly love the idea of the little beanies, you get a lot for your money and once the scent starts to die down just add an extra one to re-lift the smell.

Overall, I'm in love with the purchases with my favorite being the Mr Snowman, Candyland and Little Beanies. If yous haven't already be sure to give my Facebook page a like where I represent Pretty Suds (click here).

So while I was visiting Liverpool awhile back I discovered a Lush store and just had to pick up a few things, but first things first this Lush store was much more bigger than my local Chester store. In fact the Liverpool store offers the Lush Spa (which is rare) but has become a new thing I feel I might just have to try out soon..

I ended up picking up two bath bombs and one bath melt, first off the bath melt I've had before now and it's the Razzle Dazzle one. I love this melt, it's small but mighty with a powerful scent of sweet and sugar. As with all Lush bath melts, you pop them into the water at the start of running a bath and it slowly melts away leaving blobs of oil all among the water (which eventually will turn the water into a soft milky colour smelling beautiful).

  • RRP £2 View the product on Lush's website here.


As for the bath bombs I found Dragons Egg I honestly hadn't seen this product before and was very excited to try it out, I didn't know what to expect as it's a milky white bath bomb but I noticed the speckle of bright colours popping out of some corners. When I placed into the bath it was melting away with bright melt colours pushing out of the bath bomb, I then noticed the water starting to crackle and pop (which was a major surprise I never read up about the product but it does contain popping candy) which is amazing. The smell of this bath bomb was soft, gentle on the skin and very relaxing to lie among, plus for the price I think it's great value of money and would 100% purchase again.

  • RRP £3.75 View the product on Lush's website here.


And finally, I picked up the Twilight bath bomb, I have seen lots of bloggers rate about this product over social media but myself personally never got round to trying it. First off I love the colour of the bath bomb, the cute baby pink is perfect to have sitting around on a desk or for display and the smell is very 'lush' like with lavender and a sugar sweet hint. When the product started to fizz away in the bath water, it started to push a powerful blue colour out from inside which had a sparkle of glitter, it left the water beautiful... 

  • RRP £3.75 View the product on Lush's website here.





Overall, I loved this small mini purchase the prices weren't too high or over the top like some of the other bath bombs I've tried previously and all would 100% buy again. I would say Dragon's Egg is probably my favorite out of this purchase. X

So on the day of Lush's Halloween and fall range being released I headed down to my local store (Chester) and picked up one of each bath bomb and bubble bar that was new to the season range..
Pumpkin - £3.95 (View the product online here.)
Now I was slightly shocked by the price of this bath bomb, considering it doesn't have anything inside like others it's slightly on the price side of things... I was expecting the price to be around £3.75 like the other Lush ones, never the less I had to get one. But when I smelt the product I fell in love, the scent is nothing like other Lush products in-fact its a lot more spice like with a hint of strong orange... I loved it that much I ended up buying two, when I put it into the water I noticed the bath bomb melted away very very fast but the smell was so desirable it stuck around my bathroom for hours after I finished my bath.
Would I buy this product again? Yes!!! No question about this product, I love the scent and how powerful it is.
Monsters Ball - £4.25 (View the product online here.)
Now among my stalking on the show case event, this was probably the product I was most excited to try out purely because of the usual look it has unlike the other Lush bath bombs... When I went into store I was instantly put of by the price, I was rather shocked... But then staff came over and explained the eye of the ball was in fact a bath melt and then they went and demo'ed the product in store... I loved the bright colours that burst out of the product, and the smell was very 'lush' like with a very fresh, soft and somewhat sweet scent. 
Would I buy this product again? Possibly, as a one off every now and then the only thing which puts me off this product is the price.

Sparkly Pumpkin - £3.95 (View the product online here).
As usual Lush HAVE to bring back the good oldies, and this pumpkin bubble bar is defiantly one of them. As for the price it's not one of my favorite products again for the size, I slightly feel a little ripped off but never the less I had to purchase! It's one of these very glittery products, you pick it up and and are instantly left with glittery finger tips. You would probably get two decent baths out of this or one very luxury bath!
Would I buy this product again? Yes, honestly this product has been around for awhile each time this season comes it's just one of those things you end up buying even when you say no...

 Autumn Leaf - £3.75 (View the product online here).
Now this is one of the top favorites of the Halloween range products, this reminds me of the 'SUPERDAD' bath bomb because if the height.. The product itself is very 'average' among the style and colours, but I love when you place this product in the water it can float along the top leaving a perfect picture moment!
Would I buy this product again? Yes 100% I love how this just floats among the top of the water, the design is cute and different and isn't too badly priced.


Lord Of Misrule - £3.95 (View the product online here).
This bath bomb is very spice oriented in regards to its scent, plus I do admit it being rather on the strong side but it does grow on you over time. At first the price shocked me a little, but when I used the product it changed my mint 100%. The product itself is green on the outside, but once placed among the water and starts to fizz it turns into a pinky/red wine like colour its so beautiful and pretty to capture.
Would I buy this product again? Possibly, it wouldn't be my first choice as there is many others I would possibly choose first but the product itself is much more of the luxury bath bomb you would use for a one off occasion.

 Boo - £3.50 (View the product online here).
Again, this is something new to Lush this year and I was rather excited because of how festive it is.. When I saw the price I was completely put off, it is very overpriced considering other bath melts are £2 each. Never the less I had to buy one just to try, the scent itself isn't very overpowering it's a simple smell that reminds me of herbs and somewhat of a light lavender which leaves the water a milky colour with very few bubbles. 
Would I buy this product again? Honestly, no I felt the scent wasn't anything which stood out or lasted long and for a melt it was somewhat overpriced.

 Overall I will honestly say I love some of the designs on the products this year, my favorite is by sure the Pumpkin bath bomb purely down to it's scent... X

So recently Lush hosted the Exclusive Show Case event in London, in fact I had an invite to attend but due to the short time I had I was unable to find a hotel to stay in and would have worked out to be rather expensive to attend. (Hopefully next year I will be able to) But I stayed up to date with all the live feeds they had among the two days, and followed all the various people who was tagging Lush and Lush Kitchen in photos from the day.. 

It was instantly noticeable that they offered not only the Christmas range but had some rare exclusives. They had huge giant Dragons Egg bath bombs and the same for Intergalactic bath bombs, I honestly fell in love.. The following week Lush Kitchens menu offered both of these bath bombs for £12 each, but they was both being posted on the site on two separate days... At first I was unsure if I should make two separate orders for them both but then I would end up paying for shipping twice... (which I ended up not doing) The price of one shipping could of bought me a bath bomb right? So I waited it out, in hope that on the second day of the menu they would both be in stock so I could make one order... 

 I was up 8am on the website ready to buy when I noticed the Mother of Dragons Egg had sold out (I was so disappointing and shocked), so I ended up purchasing two of the Nebula.. When they arrived I was beyond shocked and impressed if I do say so!


The size of these beauties is HUGE, honestly words cant describe they are much bigger than expected. Plus, the smell is out of this world such a powerful strong mint like scent it's perfection! I decided after taking lots and lots of photos, I would attempt to cut one up and see exactly whats inside, how much I could use per bath... 


I ended up cutting the product into four LARGE chunks (it was a struggle to cut, so please be careful and get an extra helping hand when doing), I then broke each chunk into half over the bath tub letting the dust float into the water. As a result I got SIX luxury size baths with just one of these bath bombs, AMAZING right???

 I made a YouTube video demonstrating the full size of this product, capturing how I cracked it in half, and a demo of putting a chunk into my bath tub. Watch the video here. X

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.

  • RRP £1.50 Click to view on Pretty Suds website here.
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
