Bloop de Paris bath bombs bombed!

May 27, 2009 Paris B 17 Comments

I don’t normally come down hard on products because I know they are a matter of personal preference but Bloop de Paris bath bombs seriously bombed big time for me!

Bloop de Paris Bath Bombs

The bath bombs are large globes that come in different flavours and colors. I picked up Lavender (blue) and Rose (pink) for RM14.90 each. I’ve never felt anything more undeserving of my money 🙁

Firstly the scent is strong. I’m fine with strong scents but it smelt fine at the store and later took on a very chemical smell when I took it home – like chemicals in a lab. It was cloying and I had to hide the bag or gag everytime I passed by where I stored it.

Secondly it was useless. Bath bombs popularized by Lush serve to add scent and color and to soften your bath water; and fizz in a very fascinating manner when dropped into your bath water. The bath bombs by Bloop de Paris fizzled out upon touching water and turned the bath water a lurid blue and neon pink with that awful chemical smell wafting around the bathroom.

I was almost afraid to get into the bath for fear of melting away like in some horror movie – you know how in Batman the Joker fell into a pot of green acid that turned him into the Joker? I felt that way when I saw the tub water. I did not end up with any superpowers or super manical delusions to take over the world though 😛

So that made my happy bath plans bomb big time! I washed it off as quickly as I could – I could not stomach going to sleep with that chemical smell lingering on my skin and I did not want the chemicals staying on my skin either.

I don’t have anything good to say about the Bloop de Paris bath bombs except to say purchase at your own peril. I certainly will not again. If you had a happy experience with these, please feel free to share.

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

      Hi prettybeautiful

      Yes, just drop the ball into the water and it should fizz up and add color or fragrance to the water and soften the water. Its like bath salts that fizz and its one time use only.

    I was excited to see the picture until I read the rest of the review! Lols at turning into Joker. Hah!

    I’m imagining your experience and I gather that not-bathing and being sweaty would have felt a lot better!

    I guess just use your bubble bath, is much safer. Right?

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
