Christina Alyce Beauty

Testing and reviewing the best of clean beauty.


Yoga Bomb was the perfect bath bomb to set the mood for a lazy sunday morning. This slow fizzer has a chalky orange exterior, that takes quite a while to fizzle away to reveal the pastel turquoise and purple hidden within. If you like a bomb that’s pretty and colorful, but not over the top, this is perfect for you. After it has fizzed out, I noticed the vibrant orange waters had lots gold lustre glinting in the morning sunlight.

The mixture of sandalwood, ho wood, and olibanum (frankincense) oils was very relaxing and let off a woody and very slightly sweet floral fragrance. This reminds me of incense without the smoky element. I found that this scent paired beautifully with Karma soap, which I used to wash with. 
Aside from a beautiful aroma, the aforementioned oils lend their cleansing, emollient, and toning properties, leaving you with fresh, softened skin. I also left the bath with lightly fragranced skin and just a touch of luster, which wore off throughout the morning and reminded me of my magically relaxing bath.
I would say this bath bomb is aptly named, and leaves you with the relaxed feeling you may have after doing a light session of yoga. I also thought it would make for a lovely meditative bath, as many of the oils found in this bath bomb are also common scents used to meditate to,
I really enjoyed this beautiful and relaxing bath bomb, and I look forward to using it again!

I was excited to try this Fun because of the novelty of a yummy smelling moldable bath product, but I really didn’t expect much when it came to the it’s overall performance. 
This bright tri-color log of moldable soap carries the same strong and sweet scent of Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb and Shower Gel, as well as The Rough With The Smooth Shower Scrub. It was very strongly scented, even through the wrapper. The scent grew even stronger when I opened the wrapper and started to mold it into mini bubble bars. Even though I like the LOM scent, I had been smelling quite a lot of it lately, and it became pretty overpowering for me. I was also frustrated when I was molding the Fun, because it was much more crumbly and drier than I had anticipated. After some struggle, I was able to form my swirly bubble bars by rolling out the colors, stacking them, then rolling it up jellyroll style, and slicing it into 4 pieces. By the time I was done my head was hazy with the scent so I wrapped them all up and threw them in with all my other products and decided to forget about it for a while. 
Fast forward a couple weeks, and I was craving a sweetly scented bath. I rediscovered my little handcrafted rolls, and was happy to discover the scent had mellowed slightly. I grabbed one of the rolls, set in a strainer, and held it under the tap. Ond I just could not believe the luxurious bath that formed. I was worried what color the water would turn, because I had taken the risk of mixing purple and pink with bright green.. I was expecting a murky color, but was surprised to discover it created a beautiful, rich mauve purple which is one of my favorite colors. The bubbles this created were fluffy and plentiful as well. 
I didn’t find that the Fun did much benefit to my skin, aside from making it feel very clean, so I added a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil to the bath so I wouldn’t feel too dry after exiting the bath. The scent of the coconut mingled nicely with the vanilla scent of the Fun. 
Overall, the bath was very pleasant. The scent mellowed out and stayed through the entire bath, he bubbles were very nice, though they disappeared more quickly than a bubble bar would’ve. Also, I will get 4 baths out of this product (and that’s with a generous amount of bubbles, many people could stretch it to 6 baths), so I think it is pretty cost effective.

This is my favorite bath melt by far. I came for the name, but stayed for the moisturizing and calming spell it worked on me. This melt contains soothing oats, cocoa butter, and rose absolute to calm and moisturise your skin, as well as relaxing essential oils such as lavender and sandalwood to sooth your mind. All of these moisturising ingredients are wrapped up in a muslin cloth so that the oils, butters, and oat milk are released, but the oats themselves are contained, keeping your tub clean. 
This melt does exactly what it intends to- it transforms your bath into a milky pool that gently moisturizes and calms skin. The lavender and sandalwood scent is soft and relaxing, making it perfect for a bedtime soak. You can also use the sachet, once the oils have melted, to rub on your skin. The muslin cloth exfoliates your skin ever so gently, while the oats and oils give you that extra dose of moisture. 
I used this for the first time, and promptly went out and stocked up on two more. This bath melt will be fantastic in the winter to combat dry skin, and this would make a lovely gift for anyone, especially those with dry skin.
