You've Been Mangoed Bath Melt

This was my first ever bath melt.  I decided I had to get it when I went to pick it up in the store and the sucker slipped right out of my hands!  I HAD to conquer it.  I couldn't really place the smell until later on when I was sitting the the water.  Like the Dragon's Egg bath bomb, it smelled like lemon Pledge.  The evil lemon Pledge from my childhood.  I'm excited to find a lemon scent that doesn't bring back memories of Saturdays forced to dust and vaccum my day away.  I might be bitter.....ok I'm damaged LOL  Now back to the product.  It melted very easily and was almost as interesting as a science experiment.  How oh, how and why does it stay solid yet refuse to stay solid in contact with anything above room tempurature?  Anyhow, I used only half in my small tub and it did the trick.  My skin was cloud-soft afterward.  Thankfully, even though the air held the smell of Pledge, my skin just smelled fresh and citrusy.  My finace used the other half the next night in an attempt to soothe his sore legs and said it made his skin soft and smelled very nice.  I'm excited to see what the other bath melts are like.  I'm thinking this not be my favorite one, but I did enjoy the way it made my skin feel.

By the way, I'm noticting that the products with lemongrass oil in them remind me of Pledge.  I'm curious to see if I can find one that doesn't!  For now, I've been Pledged

Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb

This is an amazingly fun bath bomb!  It looks exactly how I would imagine a dragon egg to look like.  When dropped in the water it fizzes out milky white and then the core is struck by hot water.....CRAZY!  The water is instantly filled with golden shimmer and tiny flecks of gold glitter.  I just HAD to pull it out of the water and snap a picture.  I've never seen anything like it.  It's almost like watching mercury roll around when you hold it in your hand (except, not harmful to your health LOL).  When you get into the water you are surrounded by shimmer and glitter.  I kept thinking about those sea cucumber, plastic, shimmery, liquid-filled things at the mall.  If you were to swim in one of those, this is what it would be like.  Almost like you are in a glittery womb.  Sick but cool :)

The only negative of this bomb, in my opinion is the scent.  Outside of the water it isn't particularly yummy.  An almost sickening smell of lemon.  I couldn't quite place my finger on the smell.....I had smelled it before.  When I got in the water, it hit me like a ton of bricks.  LEMON PLEDGE.  Now, I have to explain myself.  Growing up, my mom always bought the lemon Pledge.  I begged and begged for the vanilla but she tortured me (I love you, Mom) with the lemon.  Therefore, I could never grow to love that smell.  BUT...if you like super lemon-y scents, this is the aboslute best bet for a great bath bomb experience!
