Skindecent Foaming Milk Bath

Last night, I tested the new Foaming Milk Bath from Skindecent. This is a powder, finer in texture than most bath salts. Mine was in the Silky Underwear fragrance dupe, and the powder was a pretty pale pink. I used about six ounces, and got two inches of bubbles on top of the water, along with a pale rose color and a strong scent. The bubbles lasted for the entire thirty minutes I was in the tub.

Unlike Skindecent's other milk bath products, this had no milky/creamy undernote to affect the scent. The Silky Underwear dupe is very good, and the scent remained consistent throughout my bath. Also unlike the milk bombs and milk bubbles, the Foaming Milk Bath didn't leave a film of oil on my skin. However, unlike most commercial bubble baths, it didn't leave the skin dry and tight, either.

Overall, I think this is a good product for those who want to bathe frequently without drying out, for summer baths when you don't need as much moisture, and for anyone who wants a pretty, bubbly, scented bath!

This product was sent to me for review.

I didn't even know they were doing this until I looked at my receipt and asked the cashier why my FingerPaints Tapestry in Taupe rang up at $0.00. I got Orly Snocone and Orly Gumdrop, and the FingerPaints (for my mother) was free.

The sale is for the entire month of April, so if you have a Sally nearby, it's time for polish-buying!

Bombs Away!

My most recent Skindecent order arrived yesterday, and here's the most photogenic part of the order, the Butter Bombs:



Clementine: A strong, fresh orange scent with no bitterness.

Treefrog Jammies: My invention, a clean lavender scent blended with piney green notes.

The Forbidden Strawberry: A decadent strawberry scent with a hint of musk.

Pink Carnations: A spicy, vivid carnation scent, a gorgeous not-really-a-floral floral.

Raspberry Ginger Ale: I have no idea how Marliss manages to make this smell fizzy, but she does, and combined with the raspberries, it's really wonderful.

Lavender: This one is the perfect dreamtime scent, fresh and relaxing.

I Dream of Berries: An absolutely gorgeous blend of blackberry, raspberry and lavender. It has the calming properties of lavender, but enough zing from the berries that I don't fall asleep as soon as I smell it.

The Butter Bombs are an amazing value, at $7.27 American per pound. I smash 'em up and drop a handful of the bits in, and I get silky smooth skin instead of winter-parched skin. I love hot baths in the winter, and the Butter Bombs let me take a bath every night if I want to and not pay for it with painfully dry, itchy and flaky skin. Plus, with Skindecent's product range and scent menu, I can layer scents, and drift off to bed in a happy cloud!

Accidental preppie-cure!

This was my attempt at a spring color combo that wound up in perfect preppie pink and green:
