Guess what the Beauty Bulletin babes sent me to review - some Balm Balm! Balm Balm Bijou Aromatherapy Bath & Shower Oil Collection (7 X 5ml)

A better picture

I was so excited to receive my little card from the Post Office because I knew it was something special from the Beauty Bulletin Babes. I ripped open the thick envelop and immediately a burst of amazing scents overwhelmed me and then I saw the packaging - yey! Balm Balm! I was so excited - and I couldn't wait to get started using the products and I have the perfect opportunity next week when the hubby and I spend some much needed time away in Camps Bay. So reviews to follow!

I couldn't wait until the holiday! so I tried it that very day - the first oil I tried was Relax in the shower after gym and before bed. I was out like a light! What an amazing sleep. The next morning I groggily dragged myself to the bathroom and dabbed some Refresh on my pulse points - instant Zing! Wow and I really am the poster child for "not-a-morning-person". Last night I used Recover in the shower after a difficult leg workout and I use Refresh every morning now. It really does make a difference! This morning I tried Detox - I absolutely love lemongrass! My husband was shouting at me and said the oils were invading the house. I was like "whatever" I feel great.They are super potent and the teeny bottle (dynamite does come in small packages) says it should cover 2-3 showers or baths but I'm convinced it could be 4-5. The fabulous frangrance also delicately lingers on your skin afterwards - love it! I'm taking the rest with to soak up the suds in a big tub on holiday. Can't wait!
