The Bathory 200g Tub of Salts, £18
No sooner as I saw these little tubs of goodness pop up all over the blogosphere, I knew I had to have one. With all number of unused salts and potions adorning my shelves already, something really has to be good to get that level of enthusiasm for me. And no sooner than it had arrived, I jumped into the tub, ready to give you all the rundown on 'the best bath of my life'.
The Bathory is a relatively new company that seeks to give its customers full control over the scent and style of their salts - they know how important a good bath is to us. With the incredibly efficient website you can choose your base (from detox, soothe or classic) each for a different effect, and then choose three enticingly named scents to go with it. Everything is labeled, so don't fear if you're not sure what kind of blend to go for, and it's only delicately fragranced, so I think that you would be pretty hard pushed to create something that you didn't like. From there, your unique blend is whipped up and sent to you, arriving within 24hours if you are a UK resident - pretty impressive stuff, huh?
For my tub, I chose 'Detox' - Epsom Salts and Rhassoul clay to draw out toxins - as I thought that it would be a really great one to relax in and destress with after school. I was also really tempted by 'Soothe' as well, which has honey and buttermilk in it to nourish the skin, but wasn't sure how well this would go with the more citrusy scents that I had chosen. For my essential oils I went for Bergamot, Eucalyptus and Grapefruit, an amazingly uplifting combination that really energises me before starting on my evenings work. It would have been nice to see a little more control in the choices, such as having a double or triple scent to increase the intensity, as I can see that this would be really great for a more heady and sleep inducing bath - but for me, I don't think I could have been happier with my choice.
The box and brown paper bag that it comes packaged in are truly Pinterest worthy, although I was a little underwhelmed by the size of the 200g size, especially for £18 - this is only for treats or luxurious gifts ladies and gentlemen. A whopping 100% of the jar is recommended for the best soak of your life, but I've decided to spread mine out a little more and savour it for that bit longer, and I reckon I will probably be able to stretch it out to 5 baths. It was still one of the best baths of my life, in fact I almost fell asleep in it, and afterwards I slept better than I have done for ages. A truly miracle like product.
Definitely a brand that I will revisit, I can wait to purchase my next Bathory product, what about you?
