Update on Fragrant Jewels Bath Bombs!

I want to give an update since I have had the opportunity to try out all 4 bombs that I bought.

Things that made me smile: RINGS!

• I am a sucker for RINGS! 

(Please ignore my terrible nails! I just got acrylics taken off!)

Things that made me frown: smell, itching...

• I only enjoyed two of the scents I bought, Revive and Unwind. The other two, Midnight Garden and Tranquility, didn't smell for long and it ended up being a bath with colored water. The issues I had with actually receiving the bath bombs and then once they arrived only two had a scent that lasted for the duration of my bath (instead of 2 minutes) I'm just not satisfied. 
• Itching... I couldn't stop itching for three days after I used one of the bath bombs. I've tried bath bombs from three companies so far and Fragrant Jewels is the only one I had an allergic reaction to.

This being said, I have to say (despite the itching) I am in love with the Revive and Unwind bath bombs. These two somewhat redeem the company for it's, quite honestly, many faults.

And now we arrive at the question: Will I be buying from this company again?

• Answer: No. Two good bath bombs are not enough to redeem so much fault. I won't be buying from Fragrant Jewels again.

Fragrant Jewels Review- Bath BOMBS?! Part 2

The first company I ordered from, and subsequently the company I had the most issues with, was Fragrant Jewels. Looking at their website and seeing the wide variety of smells and products I was initially impressed. The candles looked pretty and of course I was drawn to the bath bombs. So with such a good first impression how could I be so unhappy with them? Well, here's my review.

Fragrant Jewels

• Fragrant Jewels has a wide variety of bath bombs. Each bomb is $14.95. I had a hard time picking just a couple. I initially picked three:  Tranquility-Lavender, Revive-Grapefruit, and Unwind-White Tea. I added one more bath bomb, Midnight Garden-Jasmine, when I got the offer of free shipping with any purchase over $50. In total I ordered 4 bath bombs.

Things that made me smile: ring, variety, well known, smell, quantity

• RING! I am a sucker for rings. They're my favorite piece of jewelry! When I received my package (finally...) and got to use one of the bath bombs I fell in love with the ring. I thought I was going to get one of the, well, ugly rings I had seen on other reviews and such. I was so happy to find it the opposite. The clear pod sprang up to the surface of the bath to reveal a beautiful green jeweled ring. Now looking at it I knew this was a $10 ring at most (and I was right) but I don't care. It's so beautiful. I can't wait to see what the others are. (Plus when you order from Fragrant Jewels you can pick your ring size!)
• Variety, boy oh boy! Of the companies that I have tried, Fragrant Jewels is up at the top when it comes to variety. From grapefruit to cotton candy there are so many option it could take a while to get bored.
• The company as a whole is pretty well known. They are all over Facebook and there a good number of review videos on YouTube. I prefer buying from more well known online companies.
• So let me give you some backstory. I really wanted the grapefruit scented bomb. I mean I really wanted it. So when my package finally arrive I was SUPER impressed! I opened my mailbox and found the package inside. MY MAILBOX SMELLED LIKE GRAPEFRUIT! So needless to say once I put the bomb in the water my entire house smelled like grapefruit. I am so very happy with this one bath bomb. (The others don't smell as potent but they are pretty smelling nonetheless.)
• Quantity: this is going to be a loos interpretation of the word. Comparing the size of these bombs to that of Fresh Rain, there isn't much size difference. Actually there is less considering there is a capsule inside the Fragrant Jewels one, meaning less product. But, it fizzes much slower and need much less to color, disperse, and fizz than Fresh Rain. I would bet you could get at LEAST 2 uses out of one bomb if you broke it in half.

Things that made me frown (a lot): shipping, customer service, website

• My biggest issue with this company is that they border on falsely advertising shipping. When you look at the checkout page and pick your shipping option you generally assume the days stated mean time in transit. Example: 3-7 business days, most would take this as meaning the package will take 3-7 business days to arrive at my home. This is the option for free shipping. I picked it and waited for my package. 7 business days later no package. I was concerned and looked at the tracking number. It was in Washington... why? I contacted the company and they told me that the 3-7 business days meant how long it takes for the package to leave their warehouse... I went to the website and found that there isn't an easy way to click on shipping information. It's in their FAQ section and it's poorly organized to boot. (This is honestly a whole story/review in it's own. I might elaborate more later or in a video.) All in all it took over 2 weeks to get to my home. Very unhappy with this whole ordeal.
• Customer service is something everyone has to deal with at some point in their life. My job was customer service for 4 years! Trust me, I get that it gets old and some days you just CAN'T paint on that happy face and be UBER nice to people. That's why I don't expect that when I deal with anyone's customer service associate. I get it. What I do expect, however, is the service I would give someone. I would not tell them they were wrong when they told me the tracking number my company sent them. I would not be rude right out the gate. I would not make the experience terrible for the customer that misunderstood the horrible shipping policy my company decided on. Instead of trying to sympathize and explain, nicely, what I misread/misunderstood, they just told me I was wrong and that there isn't anything to be done.
• Website... I hate it when websites have important information that is HIDDEN somewhere in a non-easily accessible section of the website. It isn't that hard to put a "shipping" section on your website. I really don't like it when it's hidden in the FAQ portion of the website. In the case of this company it's poorly written/organized how they explain shipping. And then to be cryptic in how they advertise shipping on the checkout page... Not impressed at all.

Overall feeling

• I like the product. I'm impressed with the one bath bomb I really wanted. I got a beautiful ring. But honestly, I wouldn't make buying from this company a habit. For one, they are $14.95 each. When I have the option to buy ones I already love for only $4 a piece it seems like a ripoff to order one from Fragrant Jewels AND have to pay shipping as well. The company has not impressed me with their service and I find the way they advertise their shipping on the main parts of their page bordering on false advertising.

Score: 3 out of 10

• Reasoning: I liked the smell of the grapefruit one I really wanted. I liked the ring. That's all. I ordered 4 and was not impressed, per say, by the other 3 I ordered. I was let down by the company on service and shipping standards. And as I have stated many times already, I GREATLY disagree with their advertisement methods pertaining to shipping. I probably won't be ordering from this company again.

Bath BOMBS?! Part 1

Okay, unless you have been living completely off-grid you have no doubt seen advertisements for bath bombs lately. There are a multitude of companies that sell them including Lush, Fragrant Jewels, Pearl Bath Bombs, etc.
For me, I decided to try a multitude of bath bombs. I have ordered from a couple different companies so this will end up as a 3 part series (for now!),

Fresh Rain Bath And Body

• I bought a whopping 12 bath bombs. So according to their 6 for $20 deal, 12 bath bombs are just $40. (I did get a little discount so I paid just under $40.)

Things that made me smile: price, location, service, website

• These babies are only $4, 6 for $20.  They're super affordable in my opinion.
• Fresh Rain is located in my town, making this my go-to place for bath bombs. 
• The service I received, while a little too helpful, was such a refreshing change from my other experiences that were less than favorable that I walked out of the store genuinely happy.
• So one of the things that makes me frown the most is when I fall in love with a little mom 'n' pop shop and then move far away from it... Thankfully, I won't have this problem! Simply hop on over to https://freshrainak.com/ and check out the options! DISCLAIMER: The products are made by the owners so they may not always have certain ones in stock.
  

This one is a great option for anyone wanting a nice bath that smells amazing!

Things that made me frown: smell?

• The only thing I didn't like about some of these bath bombs was that I couldn't tell what it actually smelled like without opening the package. For example, I bought the Sweet Pea bath bomb and once I opened it to use it did not smell like I had hoped. (This isn't too upsetting considering I had never bought bath bombs before. And when packaged, you don't always get the most accurate sniff possible.)

 Overall Feeling

• I love this company. I recommend the Cucumber, Summer Fun, and Lavender bath bombs. I have tried quite a few already and the only factor in me not liking a couple of them is just the smell. No big deal. I have plenty more to try!

Rating: Total 10 out of 10

• Reason for rating: My only frown was something that is an assumed risk with any "smell-good" product. With this already in the back of my mind I am completely happy with this company and their products.

For now, I'm off to take another bath! I've got a rose scented bomb to test out!
