I found Whipped Up Wonderful through an amazing recommendation by my friend Pammy. They are a small Texas-based business run by the very sweet, very personable Alexis. I chose 5 different bath bombs to try! Upon opening the box, I was greeted with a business card, an adorably colourful fridge magnet and a whole ton of squiggly, shredded paper. It was like digging for treasure!
They survived the trek from Texas all the way up here to Canada completely intact and were all sealed in their own individual bags and cutely labeled with the names:
Beach Babe - Pure white with a touch of golden sugar on top and infused with very fine glitter throughout. The name suits it perfect, it smells just like you slathered on the tanning lotion to lay out on a sun-drenched beach in a tropical paradise. Very calming scent and I can see myself stepping in the bath and having the same "ahhhhhhhhhh...." moment that comes over me when I sprawl out on the beach towel to relax.
Pumpkin Spice - This was on clearance as it's a fall scent and may not be available soon? The bath bomb itself looks quite different than the photo on the website. It's much lighter and speckled, whereas the site shows quite a vibrant orange topped with cinnamon. It is, however, the most fragrant of all the bath bombs I ordered. It's a lovely spicy scent, heavy with cinnamon, nutmeg and maybe even clove. Call me crazy but this almost smells more to me like carrot cake than pumpkin. Deeeeelicious!
Hearts Desire - A beautiful baby pink (and quite shimmery) bath bomb topped with sugar hearts. Simply a joy to look at (I almost don't have the "heart" to use it! haha) and smells very floral, sexy and girly. I smell heavy rose, jasmine and musk. This will be the one I use on one of those 'need to feel sexy' nights, maybe even share with someone else? ;)
Twilight in the Woods - Maybe intentional, maybe not, but I own a few products in the 'Twilight Woods' fragrance by Bath & Body Works, and this bath bomb hit that fragrance dead on! It's pure white with flecks of bright gold, charcoal black and blood red scattered throughout. To me the smell is more subtle, very musky, earthy and sensual. I LOVE that I can soak in this and have a matching body lotion already on my counter to put on afterwards!
Birthday Cake - As you can see, this is the bath bomb I just couldn't wait to try! Vanilla-y, birthday cake scents are my favourite and I'm a sucker for anything sugary-sweet so in the tub this went! It was a vibrant pink colour topped with real sprinkles and once dropped in the tub, fizzed out to a pretty pale pink colour. My bathwater and bathroom smelled like warm, sweet vanilla cake frosting. It was not unbearably sugary and the sprinkles dissolved immediately. My skin feels amazing and best of all, NO PINK RING LEFT IN THE TUB! Love this!
I don't have the words to tell you just how much I enjoy these bath bombs and although she had to remove the Canadian shipping option from her Etsy shop due to crazy shipping rates with the new USPS pricing, she still welcomes Canadian orders. All you have to do is contact her through email, facebook or her shop to figure out custom pricing.
Go check out the Whipped Up Wonderful Etsy store and also head over to follow her Twitter or to her Facebook page and give her a like! She is always interacting, asking for opinions and posting sales and coupons.
I wasn't disappointed, and I guarantee you won't be either. :)
