Soap & Glory Fizz-A-Ball

What could be better than a bath full of fizz and bubbles and the joy of Soap and Glory?

Both of them coming together to create an incredible bath bomb perhaps? Correct, that is exactly what has happened and if you stalk your local Boots or look on like there are three to choose from - I grabbed them all.

We’re bubbling over with excitement about our trio of effervescent bath bombs. FIZZ-A-BALL™ is a super-relaxing unbelievably fun treat that bubbles away on contact with water.

Now I love my bath time, my hour and a half escape from the world to immerse myself into a tub of hot water and forget about life. When I am stressed, feeling a bit blue or under the weather, I am at my happiest being in the water and as my Starsign (Cancerian) is associated with water, this is not too much of a surprise.

As I have said there are three Bath Bombs within the collection

• ORIGINAL PINK™ - This is the signature scent of rose and bergamot and it is said to be used for pure pampering and it is pink and white in colour.  If you are a fan of Hand Food, Righteous Butter and products within that range, then you will love this.

• SUGAR CRUSH™ - sweet lime zest and it is described as being 'a revitalising fling with the ultimate zing' and it is green and pink in colour.  If you like the Sugar Crush range from Soap and Glory then this is the one for you, I happen to think this is the best of all three Fizz-a-Ball bath bombs.

• SMOOTHIE STAR™ - Described as being a 'good-enough-to-eat treat in sweet vanilla musk for relaxation' it is yellow and pink in colour and the sweetest scent of the three. Again if you are familiar with the Smoothie Star range which contains products such as Whipped Cream Shower Butter, Breakfast Body Scrub or even Rich and Foamous, then this will be the one for you.

As with all bath bombs, they work best if there are a few inches of warm to hot water in the bath before you chuck them in and you can savour each one by cutting them in half so you get more for your money.  Personally, I just chuck them into the water whole and as soon as they come into contact with one another the fizzing starts but for me, that was where the excitement ended. 

The bath bomb I couldn't wait to try was Sugar Crush, it is my absolute favourite Soap & Glory scent and  I was expecting to have a bathroom that was scented with those same scents I have come to know and love, but I didn't. I didn't get a hint of anything at all and nor was there a bubble in sight, just glittery coloured orange water. 

Size wise they are similar to Butterball from Lush, so they fit into the palm of your hand. Once into the water there is a slight foam which appears but it soon disappears and behind I was left with lovely orange water which as you can see is full of glitter.  Thankfully the glitter doesn't transfer onto the skin, it also doesn't cling to the bath, it just floats about in the water.  I am just sad I didn't get the scent I was hoping for.  I still have the other two within the range to try but each Fizz-A-Ball bath bomb is priced at £4 each they are currently on a 3 for 2 offer right HERE.

Have you tried these bath bombs from Soap & Glory?

Alpha-H Three Piece Liquid Gold Complexion Renewal Trilogy - TSV ALERT WITH MASSIVE SAVINGS

I absolutely love Alpha-H as a brand, something you might have noticed if you read my blog and whenever there is a new product on the horizon, it is always something to be excited about. 

Exclusively on QVC today, infact right now, you can see this amazing TSV (here) which features three incredibly sized products for less than £40 - RUN!

This targeted collection combines nature and science with state of the art peptides and next generation fruit acids to resurface, refine and renew the appearance of your skin.

So what does it feature? As I have said, there are three products which come together to create quite the skin care package and starting with:

Balancing Cleanser 200ml – This is a creamy cleansing lotion which is free from dying detergents and SLS's, what I really, really like about this cleanser is how good it is at removing absolutely every single trace of makeup that is on your face, even those pesky waterproof mascaras are not escaping this cleanser. 

Enriched with aloe vera to condition and soothe alongside vitamin E to hydrate and neutralise free radicals, after using my skin feels cleansed and smooth but there is no sign of the dry taut feeling that leaves you wanting to dose your skin in as much moisturiser as possible. Priced at £25.

Liquid Gold 200ml Supersize – Now as you might have noticed, Liquid Gold has had itself a bit of a make over and has a new look.  

Quite possibly the most known product in the Alpha-H line up, Liquid Gold. Described as being a powerful firming serum, this works like an 'overnight facial' to tighten and revitalise tired, ageing skin and radically improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, open pores and acne prone skin conditions. Liquorice helps combat acne and hyper-pigmentation, whilst Glycolic Acid (derived from sugar cane), jump-starts the skin's metabolism - refining its texture by dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, so they're sloughed away with your morning cleanse to reveal a more luminous, glowing complexion. Priced at £46.95.

Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream 15ml – Described as being an advanced cosmeceutical eye treatment with quadruple peptide technology, a complex of seven skin brighteners, illuminating Diamond Powder and Lime Pearl, a new naturally-sourced AHA extracted from Caviar Lime found in the rainforests on the Australian East Coast. 

It uses a cool -touch metallic applicator to ensure you achieve spot on application and this also works to instantly refresh, smooth, cool and alleviate fatigue. I have only had this eye cream for a few days, so there will be a further post coming on it shortly, but once it launches it will retail for £52.

If you are an Alpha-H fan then you will have course heard of Tom. Well he has some top tips when it comes to using Alpha-H and I am sharing them with you today. 

If your skin is sensitive or if you have never used Glycolic products before then I recommend you add Liquid Gold gradually to your homecare routine, using the product 1-2 nights a week. You can even begin by applying Liquid Gold using a cotton pad, which has been dampened with a little warm water. Do this for the first couple of weeks and then graduate to applying the product using a dry cotton pad. 

• Use Liquid Gold on three alternate nights each week and use your favourite serums, facial oils or moisturisers the following evening.

 • Add Liquid Gold to any existing skincare routine to supercharge your results. Reducing the build-up of dead cells means that your other serums, masks and creams will penetrate more effectively. 

• I recommend you use a daily moisturiser with an SPF of at least factor 15 when using Glycolic products.

 • Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream makes a fantastic daily primer for eye shadow and under-eye concealer. 

• Keep your Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream in the fridge so it’s extra cooling and feels more tightening on the skin! 

• And here’s one for the guys! If you have coarse hair, stubble or other facial furniture you can forgo the cotton pad and dispense five drops of Liquid Gold into the palms of your hands, then simply pat the solution into the face and neck.

To get these three products with a combined value of just under £125 for less than £40 is an absolutely massive saving!

Ouai's Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets

Introducing Ouai's Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets which are described as being the 'purse-portable frizz defying sheets which are your new secret weapon to fight frizzy, static-prone hair. A few swipes and hair is left shiny, smooth and free from flyways'. Arriving in a tongue in cheek box, which to all intents and purpose look like a cigarette packet and have slogans such as "Frizzy hair kills", inside you will find 15 sachets neatly nestled.

The hemp paper sheets which are free of parabens and sodium chloride are infused with coconut oil and Shea butter to lightly moisturise hair while locking down hairs gone awry. They also smell incredible with that signature scent from Ouai which has notes of violet, gardenia, ylang ylang, and white musk.  To use all you need to do is simply swipe an individually-packaged sheet from root to the ends of your hair and voila frizz be gone. It is that straightforward.

What I really like about these sheets is not only that they do the job they were designed to do and do it well.  You can see the before and after photos below of my hair.  I washed my hair and blow dried it as I normally would do and then used one sheet on my hair.

Firstly, the sheets do not leave your hair greasy, sticky or tacky during and after using, it isn't like applying too much serum. They are easy to use, you literally swipe them down your hair as you would do a brush and it smooths most of the hairs, I say most because it didn't smoothe every flyaway hair I have on my head, I have a lot of new hair growing all of the time and they tend to be flyaways which do their own thing, that said, the before and after shots do show quite a difference and it took less than 15 minutes.  The sheets they are incredibly portable, they pack easily, they weigh nothing and are therefore perfect for everyday use, for going away and even for nights out.

Priced at £20 for 15 sachets (here) and you can read more about Ouai on their homepage and Ouai products can be found via Cult Beauty, Selfridges, Lookfantastic, Asos and more.
