Advantages: Smells wonderful, relaxing and moisturising bath

Disadvantages: Not an appealing colour

I have to say that it was definitely not the colour of this bath foam which attracted me to it but the wonderful enticing name, Vanilla Crème Brulee. I am so glad I did not judge it on the colour as it really is a wonderful product.

~~THE BOTTLE~~

The bath and shower gel comes in a clear plastic bottle which is cylindrical in shape. The clear bottle allows me to see just how much of the product is left so is a good design in my eyes. The top of the bottle has a black plastic flip lid which makes for very easy use and I would say it is great for using this as a shower gel. It also means that the bottle stays clean and non is allowed to run down the sides of the bottle.

The front of the bottle has the product name and n-spa logo in black lettering and the back of the bottle has the product information clearly written also in black lettering. As with all the n-spa bath and shower gels there is a wonderful saying on the front of the bottle which reads-

'If' said the wise man 'the sea was vanilla, might the owl and the pussycat have changed their minds and sat instead on caramel coated sands with waves topped with cream...life would be simple, rich and fulfilled. Shall we go there one day?'

I really do like the sayings which are added to the bottles as it gives me something to think about whilst I enjoy a long soak.

~~USE AND RESULTS~~

As I use this as a bath foam for me I pour a generous amount of the thick liquid under the running tap which instantly sinks into the bottom of the water. With this one I have found that it does not instantly start to form bubbles but takes a few minutes before this happens. The water colour does not change from this gel either. The amount of bubbles depends on how much of the gel us add but for me I use a lot so get loads of lovely light bubbles which I just love to sink into.

When I lifted the flip lid of the bottle I instantly noticed the smell. I was divine and so resembled vanilla. I also had the thought of vanilla fudge for some reason which for me is a favourite. The smell is very apparent when used as a bath gel and does stay for a good amount of time. Usually have a good 15-20 minutes in the bath and I am still able to smell the vanilla when I get out. When I got out of the bath and dried off I did notice that I was still able to very faintly smell thin on my skin which was a bonus. I think you would get a more lasting smell on the skin if this was used as a shower gel.

I felt very clean after using this bath gel and my skin did feel nice and soft.

The gel to me is a dirty cream colour or beige and does not look very appealing but don't let this put you off as the smell is worth the not so good colour.
