Hey guys
As you know
Zoella is the biggest beauty Youtuber out there at the moment, I think she has
something like 7 million followers and her social media following is off the
charts too, so when she launched her new beauty line, I had to pick up a few
bits to see what it was all about. The range is called Lets Glow and has
everything from candles to bath products to makeup bags. I only picked up the
Fizz Bar and the Candle as I wasn’t really feeling anything else to be honest
and everything else seemed to be sold out on Superdrug and Feel Unique.
The packaging
just screamed of Zoella, it was very clean looking as well as girly. The candle
comes in a tin container which is very small but for the price tag, I wasn’t expecting
a huge candle. It has a blend of white wood, sweet vanilla and soft floral
notes. I wasn’t blown away with this to be honest, it was nice but wasn’t nice
enough and was nowhere near strong enough for my tastes. The scent was very
very faint and I couldn’t smell it throughout the day after I blew out my wick
like I normally can with my favourite Yankie Candles. I can’t comment on the 20
hours of burning time as I didn’t sit down with a timer but i did use it over
the course of 3 days and burned it for a few hours each day.
The Fizz Bar
has exactly the same fragrance as the candle and again, I wasn't overly
impressed with it. It is recommended to use 1 to 2 blocks of the “chocolate bar”
bath product to create a nice fizz and to give the perfect bath but it
completely disappeared once it hit the bath and the water didn’t look any
different, it also didn’t smell strong at all. Not what I want from a bath
product. I think I have been spoiled by all of Lush`s offerings and my Radox
Herbal Bath Salts so I expected more from this but sadly I didn’t get it. The
following night I decided to add in four blocks but it didn’t make a
difference.
I expected to
be totally relaxed by the fizz bar and sadly it didn’t offer anything other
than being aesthetically pleasing but as far as scent wise and having a great
bathing experience, I didn’t get it.
I hate that I wasn’t
blown away by these products as I really like Zoe Sugg, I think she comes across
very sincere and she is obviously doing something right to have the kind of
following she does but sadly her products didn’t work for me. That’s not to say
it won’t work for you but I am used to stronger smelling scents for my bath
products and I expect bath bomb types to give me softer skin and a perfect
bathing experience which these didn’t.
P.S I used Zoella's pictures from her blog as I could not get decent pictures. I have linked back to her website by writing "Source" under the picture so you can click that and it will take you straight to her blog post.
Have you
tried the Lets Glow range?
I really like the Body Mist that was in this range but haven't tried anything else yet :)

I havent tried anything else but i dont think i will bother tbh :( xx
DeleteI haven't tried anything from this range and tbh, I'm not rushing out to try anything either. I think Zoe is a lovely girl, don't get me wrong - I love her Youtube channel but I feel a bit meh about the products. Maybe I'm too old?! After reading your review, I think my gut was right. Have you tried Bomb Cosmetics bath bombs? Love them! :) xx
ReplyDeleteBrenda BusyBee
Yeah its such a shame as i do like her. I havent tried them yet are they good? Xx
DeleteAs much as I love Zoe I wasn't overly attracted by her products! The only thing that I said I would eventually pick up was the Fizz Bar, which I definitely won't bother after reading this review. Such a shame it wasn't what you had hoped it would be x

I know, im really disappointed. It has such beautiful packaging and Zoe is such a beautiful kind girl but i definitely wont be buying anymore of her products as they just dont seem worth it xx
DeleteLike Alina, I wasn't overly attracted to Zoe's products either but I was tempted to try the Fizz Bar. Such a shame it's not good. I think sometimes people rave about stuff just because of the brand, rather than the product itself. So thanks for an honest review. I think I'll save my money and spend in Lush instead. :) x

Lush is definitely worth it, i feel as though she is just a pretty face for someone elses products rather than something she has sat down and done herself as i feel it doesnt really represent her as much as i thought it would xx
DeleteIt's refreshing to read a review that isn't raving about this - I'm sure it's perfectly ok but it is what it is - a fairly basic range, with the Zoella name and associated price mark-up.

Yes very basic!! She could have started off with a selection of different coloured & scented bath bombs to see how they faired rather than a full range with the same scent! Xx
DeleteI purchased the fizz bar and bath soak/shower cream, I love using the fizz bar as it's what I expected, a mild scent, small fizz and relaxing qualities, however the bath soak is a bit disappointing as the bubbles don't last at all, though it's lovely as a shower cream!
ReplyDeleteYou do have to think about the fact her products are really cheap so I wasn't expecting them to be amazing, it's why I only bought the items I'd actually use. I do want the mist though!

Yeah i only wanted to try these 2 products but i wasn't feeling the fizz bar at all. Lush offer a better variety for a cheaper price than Zoellas so i will stick to them i think :) xx
DeleteI haven't tried them yet but I did smell the candle when I was in superdrug & the scent didn't seem very strong. The only thing I wanted to try was the fizz bar but I don't think I'll bother now. I guess when you think it's £5 for that and you could get two lush bath bombs for a similar price, I know which one id rather have! Haha

Yeah thats my thought on it aswel :) The candle was actually really nice, it gave enough of a scent to relax but i agree that it could have been stronger xx
DeleteI adore the zoella range although I understand what you mean, the packaging is adorable and the price isn't to bad. I would buy her stuff again as I love the smell:)
