Verdict:

Despite its humorous name Bearded Lady just reminds me of Santa in its design. It’s absolutely adorable with its white, beard, Santa hat and chocolate drop eyes.  It’s a reasonable sized bubble bar that could do two baths if you wished, though I use a full one if it’s the only product I’m using. As for the scent, I feel it comes alive in the tub. It’s not a strong scented product but I can definitely pick out the tangerine, subtle banana, calming notes of the oat milk, cocoa and shea butters. It reminds me of chocolate orange meets banana smoothie, reminiscent of King of Skin (as it actually contains grated pieces of KOS) and Ceridwyn’s Cauldron with a tangerine twist. I personally find the scent very comforting and soothing.  

In the water Bearded Lady doesn’t disappoint. She creates heaps of soft bubbles and turns the water milky and pale peachy pink in colour. The water is unbelievably silky soft and the scent stays with you throughout your bathing experience. All the beautifully moisturising, softening and nourishing ingredients really get to work on your skin. The result, kissably soft, silky and supple skin that’s delicately scented. Imaging Butterball’s results from a bubble bar and you’re not far off. This product is simply amazing for caring for your skin and locking in some much needed moisture during these colder months. I’ll definitely be stocking up!

If you want a truly indulgent bath try cocktailing ½ Bearded Lady with a Butterball ballistic or Ceridwyn’s Cauldron.  

If you like this why not try: King of Skin body butter; Oatfix fresh face mask; Floating Island bath melt; Butterball ballistic; Ceridwyn’s Cauldron; Porridge soap.
