It feels like forever since I've had a good sized Bath Bakes haul! I either don't have any money by the time that the release comes around, or like last month, everything has gone before I've gotten to check out! While I was quite gutted that I didn't get everything that I wanted last month, this just goes to show the demand for Bath Bakes products and how big the company is becoming, which makes me very happy! I love seeing small businesses do well, especially when the products are this good and the lovely lady behind it all is so sweet!
I managed to pick up almost everything that I wanted this month - yay! The only product I missed out on was The Secret Ingredient, which is a full size surprise goodie which could be something from this collection, an item that was available in a previous collection or a brand new product! As I don't know what the product would have been, I'm not too upset about it because there is always next time! I actually made two orders this month as there were things I had forgotten to add to my basket, I was in such a rush to get ordered to make sure I got everything!
I'm going to go through my haul with you all and give you my first impressions and a little review as I couldn't wait and just had to jump in the bath with some of these last night!
Pictured - Lime Mojito sugar shower
I love the concept of a liquid sugar scrub! I was so intrigued by this I needed to pick up this one and another in a different scent. I haven't used this one yet, but the scent is gorgeous! Lime Mojito smells like sweet zesty limes with a subtle hint of mint, just like the cocktail! The colour is so vibrant and gorgeous too, it looks so pretty on my shelf next to the rest! I don't think this bottle will be hanging around in my collection for long, it smells too good and will pair amazingly with so many of my products, I can see myself using this a lot!

I have been really enjoying banana scents lately! I took a banana shampoo to Paris with me and I have been craving that kind of scent ever since! I think banana is a scent that LUSH are majorly missing out on, so when I saw the teaser for this product on the @bathbakelove Instagram I was super excited! Banana Acai smells exactly like I wanted it to, like the foamy banana sweets you can buy! This bath cream smells good enough to eat - as does most Bath Bake Love products! I couldn't not jump in the bath with this straight away and of course, it didn't disappoint. Just like all the other bath creams I have had, it lathers beautifully and the scent sticks around on the skin for a while after. I think this is up there with one of my favourite bath creams ever, which is a pretty strong statement! I would love to see this scent in a crumble scrub or a bath syrup!
Pictured - Mint Agave bath syrup
I wasn't going to purchase this bath syrup, but when I went in to make a second order, I knew if I didn't pick it up then I would regret it! I am so pleased I did purchase it! Mint Agave is a very fresh scent, with a slight caramel tone and a hint of mint. I love it! This bath syrup will pair beautifully with so many products that I have, especially my Bath Bakes bits that aren't chocolately and aren't fruity. I think the colour of this product is perfect too, it matches the scent really well!
Pictured - Peach Chaja body creme
THIS product is the reason I made a second order! When I checked out and then went back to browse to see if everything had gone out of stock, I couldn't believe I forgot to pick up this body creme! I am loving peach at the moment, I get myself a peach iced tea most mornings to take to the office with me as it's a nice cool drink and so refreshing. Peach is definitely a scent that my collection is lacking, so I decided to make another order and pick this up plus a few other bits. I am so pleased I made the second order as this is quite possibly my favourite item from this order. I absolutely love the scent of this! Just smelling it now is literally making my mouth water! Peach Chaja smells like a freshly cut peach, but a little sweeter. It smells insane and will be perfect for this time of the year! I need this scent in a bath cream, a crumble scrub - anything!
Pictured - Orange Nectar sugar shower
So as you can see by the second photograph, I've already jumped in the bath with this and give it a try! I really like this product! I love the consistency, it's not too rough but it's tough enough. The sugar and the syrup does tend to separate, but that's easily sorted by standing the bottle upside down for a few minutes. I had to take the cap off to be able to squeeze out the product, but that's not an issue at all. I felt very silky smooth after using this product, just like I would after using a crumble scrub. The scent is gorgeous, sweet orange just like Orange Ganache bath cream and Tarte de L'Orange bubble mix. Orange Nectar is a product I would very likely buy again if it ever came back.
Pictured - Pina Colada bath dessert
I really love the bath desserts that Bath Bake Love create! I love the combination of the scrub and the whip, it gives your skin the perfect combination of exfoliation and moisture all at once. I wasn't too sure whether I would like the scent of Pina Colada, but I really do! It smells like pineapple and coconut with a teeny hint of rum, which I'm pleased about as I hate the strong scent of alcohol. Again, this scent and product is perfect for this time of the year, the perfect summer combination! This would pair beautifully with LUSH's Big Calm shower jelly, such a gorgeous tropical scent! I have also tried this out in the bath and Pina Colada does not disappoint! It's gorgeous and I wish I had grabbed another!
Pictured - Strawberry Lime body oil
Did I quite possibly leave the best till last? I bought this on a whim, the name caught me and it sounded good for this weather as I am peeling a little due to a very awful sunburn and an oil sounded perfect for applying once I am out of the bath to replenish a bit of moisture back into my skin. I 100% did not expect to love this as much as I do. The scent of this body oil is incredible! It smells like a combination of a strawberry ice lolly and strawberry chewits - two of my favourite things ever! I wish I could smell like this all day, every day! I can't stop sniffing myself after I use this, it's that good! It's also very hydrating for the skin, I was starting to peel a little on my arms and one application of this and the dry skin has disappeared! I'm not even joking, I need a whole line of products in this scent! I would love a crumble scrub, a bath cream and an eau de yum! It's so gorgeous!
As always, Bath Bake Love never fails to disappoint! I am very happy with every product I have purchased, I've fallen in love with some scents that I am going to pester Sara-Meg to make in other formats and I am going to love using all these products!
