Makeup Bag: For the Bath

Beau Bain Lavender Bath Bomb

lavender-collection-1

Every weekend I try to get in at least one relaxing, long bath to take me away from my crazy life. Amazingly, just 20 minutes of calm alone time does wonders for my attitude.

Over the last couple weekends, I’ve been enjoying luxurious bath bombs from Oregon-based company Beau Bain. The ice-cream scoop-sized bombs are not only moisturizing and relaxing, but also entertaining. It’s kind of fun to watch the bomb fizz until there’s nothing left (in Janey’s case this means making it last for the entire duration of her bath as she’s perfected the dip-and-remove, dip-and-remove, dip-and-remove, savoring every last fizz).

Beau Bain Luxurious Moisturizing Bath Bombs come in a variety of flavors, Lavender is my favorite, and are $8 each at beaubain.com.

Some new favorites for the bath

Makeup Bag Bath Favorites

Relaxing in a nice, quiet bathtub is one of our favorite things to do. (As long as the bathroom door is locked—to keep unwanted persons from barging in and insisting their progress reports be signed this very second—and the music is turned up just loud enough to drown out the noise on the other side of the door).

Over the last few months, we’ve found some great products for the bath (and shower) that you should totally know about.

Mario Russo Olive Juice in Ginger-Lime This ultra-moisturizing gel can be used as both a bubble-bath and a shower gel. The light ginger lime scent is refreshing and leaves our skin feeling soft and supple.

Molton Brown Intoxicating Davana Blossom Foaming Bath Oil This is utterly divine. Seriously—so good. Because it’s on the more expensive side ($68 for 10 oz.) we try to be conservative where this bath oil is concerned. However, if money were no option, we would bathe in this 365 days a year. And then some.

Liz Earle Energising Body Wash With a scent similar to our favorite Space NK Energising Shower Gel, this gentle cleanser with naturally active ingredients is a great way to jump-start our day.
