I absolutely LOVE discovering new indie companies so I went into full minkish mode when Eva approached me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing The Bath Duchess. I love all things Victorian so the name immediately drew me in. But perhaps what excited me the most was the fact that this company was actually located right on my very own sunny little island! I’m so used to dealing with international shipping and growing green horns of envy because of all the indie goodness that takes place several timezones away from me.
Anyhow, I contacted her right away and she offered to send me a bunch of products to review. Of course, I offered to pay for them but she waved off my attempts. I was really blown away by her generosity. Feeling a little sheepish, I listed out a number of products from her store that I was interested in and told her to just send me a couple of those in sample sizes. Imagine my surprise and thrill when a box stuffed to the brim with products arrived on my doorstep in record time a couple of days later.
Just look at all those goodies! I was totally blown away by how beautifully everything was packaged, and the sheer number of products in the box is astounding. I received a mix of their Halloween scented products as well as some products from her general collection. Here’s a breakdown of all the goodies that I got:
- Whipped Body Frosting in Mad Tea Party
- Whipped Body Butter in Monoi de Tahiti
- Foaming Bath Mousse in Wail of Sirens Elixir
- Whipped Body Scrub in Phoenix Feathers, Spiritus Draconis Elixir (sample), Mad Tea Party (sample) and Peppermint Candy (sample)
- Shower Gel in Tears of Medusa Elixir
- Gingerbread Man Soap in Strawberry Jam Cakes
- Handmade Goats Milk Soap in Honey Sultanas, Claw of Griffin and Almond Cherry Liquor
- Massage Butter Bar in French Lavender
- Body Splash in Elixir of Life
- Love-Your-Lips Butter in Lemon
Whew! That is quite the haul, I really couldn’t be more overwhelmed by her sheer generosity. I generally loved almost everything although of course, not everything worked perfectly on me. This is going to be a pretty lengthy review, so here. Have a cup of tea, fluff up some cushions and descend down the rabbit hole with me.
I received these for free, but my opinions of the actual product are unbiased. Reviews are based on my individual impressions from a test drive of the individual products. Everything is subject to my own skin chemistry, so your mileage may vary.
