Zoella Beauty Sweet Inspirations

Last week Zoella's new beauty range; Sweet Inspirations hit Superdrug stores, and I for one couldn't help but be totally attracted to its adorable pastel packaging - it's so ME. The range consists of eight products, including Double Creme moisturiser, Bath Latte bath and shower milk, and the Sugar Dip bath salts; as shown above.

I put in a little Superdrug order recently, and decided to add these three products to my basket to give them a try.

Zoella Beauty 'Tutti Fruiti'

There are plenty of mixed feelings surrounding bloggers/vloggers and their merchandise; the new things they're trying to flog us each week. I for one, like some and support fully, and there's others I just can't be bothered with really. When it comes to Zoe Sugg's new Tutti Fruiti beauty range 'Zoella Beauty', I hadn't quite made my mind up to be honest. When I seen the new products displayed in my local Superdrug, I couldn't help but have a nosey.
I decided to pick up a few items from the range, to give my honest review and thoughts...

'Let's Spritz!' Fragranced Body Mist.
The Good: The packaging! I do think all the packaging is pretty in this range, but this is probably the one that appeals to me most. It's so girly and definitely perks up my dressing table. I also like that it's only £8 and would do for popping in your handbag for day to day use as a change to special perfumes. The Bad: Okay.. here's the thing. This whole range is meant to be 'Tutti Fruiti' right? I expected a lot more of a sweet/zingy smell; which I'm actually a fan of. But I just didn't get that with this body mist. The smell is pleasant enough, and I will use it. But it's not something I love, and I don't think I'd bother buying it again. I know it's cheap but there are other scents out there even in this price range which are beautiful. Overall Rating: Mehh - 2/5. I'll Instagram the hell out of this, and use it for days when I don't wana waste my perfume. But overall, not the greatest.

'Foam Sweet Foam' Cleansing Shower Gel.
The Good: Only £3.50 - Very good price indeed, and a nice size. The scent? Success! I definitely detected a sweeter tone with this product, and was happy to see only a small amount was needed for a good lathering. It left me soft and smooth as a baby! The Bad: Actually.. nothing! Overall Rating: Pretty darn good actually - 4.5/5. I will happily buy this product again.

'Scrubbing Me Softly' Smoothing Body Scrub.
The Good: The scent is lovely and sweet, not overpowering at all. I managed to really buff my legs (problem area with dry skin!) with great ease using only a small amount of this, and it left me with that super silky soft feeling afterwards. Lovely. The Bad: This is a very gentle product, which is great obviously. However I wouldn't have even minded it being a little more exfoliating, a little tougher. But maybe that's just me! Her target audience is a lot younger than me though, so I can understand why this is a very gentle product. It's £7 though and though not a bad price, I can get something more suitable for me in the same price range. Overall Rating: Pretty nice - 3.5/5. I would buy again for most of my body, but I'd be aware that I might want something a little tougher to tackle my problem areas for exfoliation.

'Kissy Missy' Lip Balm.
The Good: It's an extremely cute and pretty product, I must say. I like the texture and I love that it's tainted. You can apply a thinner or thicker pout on depending on your preference, and how much of a colour POP you'd like. I'm a lover of bright pinks, so I was impressed with this. Not bad for £3. The Bad: I wish they'd made it smell as nice as the shower gel and body scrub! This doesn't smell unpleasant at all, but you know that run of the mill, cheap, lipstick sorta smell you get sometimes? Yeah it's a bit like that. That sounds harsher than it is, but it's the only way I can describe it. I don't mind it, but I think they could have done way better. Overall Rating: I still really like this, but it's not perfect - 4/5.

Final thoughts? I think the Zoella Beauty range is good for what it's for. It's supposed to be a lower priced range aimed at her younger audience, and I think a lot of them (or you, if you're younger!) will be very happy. I was left knowing I'd love to buy the shower gel and lip balm again, for sure. I'll consider the body scrub again too, it was really nice; but as I mentioned a lot of the time I consider stronger exfoliators, so we'll see. The disappointment was the body mist, and it's a shame because it's definitely the cutest - this is important to me, ha! - but not everything can be to everyone's tastes. It won't be something I buy again, and I'd recommend taking a sniff for yourself before buying.

Zoella Beauty: Fizz Bar Review

Unless you've been hiding under a rock recently, you'll have heard all about Zoe Sugg's new beauty range which was released in the last few days. As a fan of 'Zoella' myself, I thought I would indulge my curiosity and try out the product that most appealed to me. The Fizz bar seems the most interesting item available; shaped like a chocolate bar and able to break off into handy chunks as & when you like.

The first thing I did when I opened this was have a little smell. The best thing about a lovely bath product is having something with a gorgeous scent, am I right? The Fizz Bar is sweet, a little floral but very light and pleasant. I think scent is such a personal thing, and you aren't going to please everyone every time. Personally floral scents are my favourite, I'm definitely more of a fan of light and sweet rather than stronger woody/spicy perfumes, so the Fizz Bar caters perfectly to me. You might want to have a smell of the body mist Zoella has also released, as I have heard this is the same sort of scent. So then you can decide if you like it before you buy the Fizz Bar.

Once popped in the bath, the little chunks began fizzing away and sent my bathtub into a little bubbly lather. Not like a bubble bath I might add, just little poppets of fizz bursting under the water. It left the water with what I can only describe as a silky touch, and heavenly scent. My skin felt really smooth and soft afterwards, and I have quite sensitive skin so I'm impressed it didn't cause a reaction.

Overall I think the Fizz Bar is a wonderful new addition to my relaxing bath routine. I'm fairly pleased with it and wouldn't mind recommending you guys to try it. Even if it's just for the sheer fun and satisfaction of tearing off a chunk or two and watching it fizz away! It's not mind blowing or so amazing that I'm going to buy it all the time, but I will happily pop it in with my shopping every now and again as a treat. You can't moan that her whole range isn't affordable, as everything is reasonably priced in my opinion. Which I think it should be since she has such a young target audience mostly. And this definitely feels more luxurious than the price tag would suggest.

Will you be trying any of the Zoella Beauty range?
