3 ZOELLA PRODUCTS - REVIEW

Maybe you guys still don't know, but I'm the perfect example of what a sucker for nice packaging means: if something has a nice packaging, there's a very high percentage of probability of me buying it, even if it contains sh*t..

That's the first thing that intrigued me about Zoella's beauty products: they are objectively VERY PRETTY. 

I love each and every single product design I see online, but for now I've just tried 3 products, which I'm going to tell you more about.

Maybe I should add that ZOELLA, for those of you who don't know or aren't devoted Youtube users, is a youtube star, has almost 12 billion subscribers on her channel, 3 books, a beauty and a lifestyle range, etc..

In short words she is very popular on the web and, since her products aren't available where I live, a friend of mine who lives in England kindly gifted them to me, so I could try them. 

 So let's begin, shall we?

THE BATH LATTE

Can we just take a moment for the package that looks like a milk bottle, the ones that the milkman used to leave outside the entrance door ages ago?  Love the idea. 

I personally use it mainly in the bath tub, when I just want to have a pamper night and relax. I pour it under the water and it creates the softest and most milky foam! The smell is very very nice, kind of sweet and nutty but by no means overwhelming. I like my body wash to kind of "linger" on the skin because, D'OH, I wanna smell good. And this bath latte does it. My skin has a clean and sweet smell after I take a bath and I really enjoy it. 

RECOMMEND :)

 

LE FIZZ - BATH FIZZER 

I used almost half of this product, hence why it looks tiny in the picture. The original one has 15 little squares of bath fizzer, so you get more product than the one you see in the picture above. I also threw away the wrapping paper so apologies for that as well :( Despite these lackings, I can for sure give you my opinion on this product: it is basically a sort of bath bomb, like the more popular ones from Lush. I usually tend to put 2 or 3 little squares per bath and it's enough to get a nice smelling water. It doesn' foam up and neither colours the water very much. 

I liked it for the smell, which is just the same as the Latte's , but I expected it to be more "fizzy"..if that makes any sense. The first time I just threw it in the water and NOTHING was happening, it wasn't fizzy, it didn't dissolve, nothing. So I kept it under the running water and crambled it with my fingers so as to dissolve it and that way it worked. So this product was a little..MEH, for me at least. I think I could just use the latte for the smell and be ok, the fizz, apart from having a nice smell, it's useless.

THE WONDROUS WHIP 

This lightly whipped body cream comes in a plastic jar; as always packaging is really nice even though I prefer using body lotions that come in a tube that I can squeeze, because I don't like the feeling of body cream going under my nails when I scoop it out..but that's just me of course. 

The consistency is very nice, really seems to be putting whipped cream all over the body, the smell lovely as well, not too strong or overwhelming, slightly sweet and "clean" scent, like fresh bedding one. 

Regarding the formula..not a fan at all. It leaves the skin smelling good and hydrated but takes so much time to absorb into the skin..Once I start spreading it, it turns into a white residue that takes very long to sink into the skin. I don't want to spend 5 minutes rubbing my thighs..

In conclusion, speaking just for the 3 products I tried, a part from the Bath Latte, I didn't find the products to be extrordinary. Yes they are very design appealing, perfect for gifting, but nothing more.

I would really like to try other products from the brand though..do you have any recommendations of products I should try that could make me change opinion? Let me know! 

Kisses, Antonia :)
