Neom Bath & Shower OIl

As you all know I am a big fan of baths and of the brand Neom. So the other day I was browsing through TK Maxx and I discovered the Neom products on the shelves just sitting there! I couldn’t believe it, I felt like I had just spotted a €50 or €100 note on the shelf, even glancing over my shoulder to see that no one had spotted it like me! I didn’t care what the price was I just grabbed it, you never know with TK Maxx who’s going to swoop in behind you and snare the goods out from under you’re nose! 
  
So the price for the Neom Bath & Shower Oil originally is €48 for a 100ml bottle in Brown Thomas and I bought this one in TK Maxx for €16.99 and the recommended retail price on the box is €39.76. No I do know that Brown Thomas do bump up their prices a little bit compared to other stockists. 

I have never tried the Neom Bath & Shower Oil before, I have tried the Jo Malone Bath Oil which is beautiful, but I do find it’s not that strong a smell, it doesn’t last in your bath and it claims to be moisturising but I never found that, but I still like it regardless. It still makes your bathing experience a relaxing one! 

So I was very excited to try out the Neom bath oil, as I was so impressed with the body scrub. So I set up my bathroom with my candles and filled my bath with a cap and a half full of the oil, and swirled it around and let the bath fill up! It didn’t have any impact on the water, no milkyness or anything like that!
But when I got in, it was amazing, now I'm not exaggerating but the water felt like silk, it was like getting into a new pair of warm clean pyjamas! And the smell was so relaxing, very floral with lavender undertones but not very heavy or overwhelming at all! The smell lasted throughout the whole bath as well, not fading once! And when I got out, there was no need to apply a moisturiser afterwards, my skin felt so soft and smelt great as well. So handy not having to do the whole body moisturiser thing, it's something I always hate to have to do!

I really enjoyed this product, and I found that I didn't need to use any other products in the bath with the oil, whereas normally I would use a few lush bath products as well as a bath oil. But you can totally use this on it's own in the bath and still have a very relaxing experience.

So all in all, another product to make a dent in your bank balance! But it is a really nice luxury product to treat yourself with especially if you enjoy baths like I do and it will last you a long time as you get a 100ml bottle and really only need one and half cap full per bath. So all in all this is a gorgeous bath product and it makes my bath experience one of the best and I am a fussy bath person, but this definitely helps me unwind and relaxes me and also washes away all the stresses of the day, physical and mental! So I hope you treat yourself and enjoy!

Neom Body Scrub



If anyone knows me, you know I'm OBSESSED with bath and bath products! So I have been coveting Neom bath products (or just all their products) for a long time! So I finally bit the bullet and purchased a candle and the infamous body scrub!

I bought the scrub in Brown Thomas on Grafton St in the city centre last Friday and the minute I got home, I jumped into the shower with my new scrub and it didn't disappoint!

First of all I will say that, up to about maybe two months ago, Neom body products were not available to buy in Dublin apart from their candles in Brown Thomas, you had to buy online in the UK, and pay extortionate delivery prices which surprising for me I actually never did! So the minute a lovely client of mine told me the body scrub and bath & shower oil were being sold in Brown Thomas I went down and bought myself the body scrub (and candle too but let's not mention that hit to my bank account).


So back to the shower, the minute I opened the scrub, the smell was beautiful, very zingy which normally I'm not a fan of, but I actually liked this one. It reminded me of a mix of coffee and wood. But the ingredients in this are jasmine, lavender and fireside rosewood which is what gives you the warming zingy feeling and smell. You only need a very small amount of the product, it is very oily but not in a greasy way what so ever! A little goes a very long way and the crystals in it are lovely, not sore or scratchy on the skin but very exfoliating and exhilarating! And once you wash off the excess from your skin, oh wow, you're skin feels amazing, so moisturised yet smooth as a baby's bottom! So there is no need for a body moisturiser after your shower or bath, which is a plus for me as I'm always too lazy to do this.

This is definitely a very expensive body scrub, and at €41 it sure is but it is a lovely treat for your skin! Very much a luxury product. So if you want to treat yourself, go for it, if not then maybe try a less expensive body scrub, but if you're like me and love your luxury products,.....DO IT,......BUY IT!
