I have always been interesting in making my own bath salts, bath bombs, and sugar scrubs, and this book did not let me down! Filled with beautiful photos and easy to follow instructions, this was an absolute treat to read! I'll be making these for easy and affordable gifts for many years to come.

Thank you to NetGalley, as well as the publisher for providing me with a digital copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

The bath bombs and other beauty products were easy to make and I love that they were made with natural ingredients. The recipes are easy to understand and very straight forward. I like how colorful and elegant the products are and feel that they can pass for store quality items. This is a great book.

I didn't realize when I requested that I've actually purchased their bath bombs before. I even have a couple in my stash currently. haha. It made me enjoy it more knowing that I enjoy the things they make.

Good tips and suggestions where to get supplies, and what sorts of things to look for. Definitely some good ideas and one of these days I'd like to get around to trying them out.

If you are sick of breaking the bank on store bought bath bombs, this is a great resource on how to make your own! And it doesn't just cover bombs, but also includes details on making bath fizzes, body scrubs, melts, skin creams, and other beauty products.
It covers everything you need to know, from equipment to ideas on how to finish products. This book is filled with color photographs and even lists resources for supplies. I highly recommend this to anyone wanted to get into homemade bath products.

Beautifully photographed with interesting, informative, and witty writing makes for a fantastic combination. It is very apparent that both Isabel and Caroline enjoy and love what they do. There are enough details for someone just learning without being bogged down or overwhelmed. Not to mention, the authors give you some leeway on creation. (Which, admittedly, is one of my favorite things about this book other than the recipes themselves!) They do not demand or insist that you do things a certain way or use specific things. You are given the ability to be creative! Plus, this book shares more than just bath bomb recipes. You can also make other body and skin care products: lip balms, masks, scrubs, toners and so much more.

I would definitely recommend Fizz Boom Bath to anyone wishing to learn more about bath bombs and creating them!

I loved this!
I've always wanted to make my own bath bombs even though I don't have a bath anymore*insert sad face*. I couldn't try doing the bath bomb recipes because of that, but the instructions were clear . However, I did try the ones about body scrubs and face masks and they were fantastic!! But not only that, the presentation and photography were fantastic and made me enjoy, even more, the book! :D.

I love making homemade bath products. This book is awesome. It gives a ton of recipes for making all kinds of bath products, not just bath bombs. The instructions are clear and easy to read. Even the beginner can be a pro in just a few short minutes.

The recipes are easy to follow and most of the products can be found at stores we all go in daily like Walmart and the grocery store.

The products you can make from these recipes are great for personal use, giving as gifts, and even selling at craft fairs.

What a fantastic book! Beautiful images and lots and lots of really creative, fun bath bomb projects to make. My little son and I had a lot of fun making them. So much fun that we will definitely be buying a copy of this book!

This book is so great - not only it offers you amazing bath bombs, body scrubs and other masks and treatments created with natural ingredients, it is written by two teenagers that started a business when they were in middle grade! And they have a business that could thrive from us buying there bath bombs, yet they are teaching us how to make our own for cheaper? How amazing is that!

There are a lot of great recipes in here, I am quite excited to try some on my own. And the photography in this book is amazing - I was really impressed by the pictures alone!

A great book that my daughter and I have had some fun practicing the recipes with. Although all the recipes are laid out with specific utensils, I found that the enthusiasm regarding the starting of making their bath bombs was clearly carried though and enabled the reader to see that these can be made not necessarily with the specific tools but using what moulds and tools that are available locally.
A great book that would appeal to young teen girls.

Thank you for Netgalley for sending me a copy of this for free to review. It was perfect timing as my two daughters are off school for the summer holidays, so it was an ideal time to experiment with all things Bath Bomb related.

My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed this creative book and have already done a couple of the 'recipes'. We loved the introduction and were inspired reading all about teenage entrepreneurs Isabel and Caroline, how they set up their company and came to write such a beautiful book. And what a beautiful book it is indeed, such a bright and amazingly illustrated piece of work.

All the ingredients needed were set out in a easy to use format and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. There were so many hints and tips too, which added an extra bit of fun to the whole thing. There is not just bath bomb recipes here but face masks, lip scrubs and shower scrubs.

If I had to give any criticism of the book it would be that it is a tad too American in style and language, plus I think some of the ingedients seem a little difficult to track down.


Still, I feel this would make an ideal gift for any tweens or tweens, my daughters certainly enjoyed it and we look forward to making more creations.

Have you been to that store that sells all of those absolutely gorgeous (and really expensive) bath bombs and fallen in love with all of the possibilities? I'm the mom of a beauty blogger, so I've been more than once -- and then bought my own bath bombs at the Dollar Tree.



The boys and I tried making our own once and came out with bath bomb brittle, which smelled good and made their skin soft but didn't fizz and foam. It's possible that if you want to make something that actually works, following the easiest looking recipe from Pinterest may not be the best way to do it...and that you might need some specialized ingredients.

Which is where Fizz Boom Bath! comes in.

I haven't had a chance to try any of the book's recipes yet, but I'm reeling from all of the gorgeous photos and possibilities. There are geodes and gender reveals and secret messages and one bath bomb for sore muscles...and then there are the masks and shower steamers and scrubs. Working your way through this book would be a lot of fun.

And did I mention that the book -- and da Bomb Bath Fizzers, the company that inspired it -- was written by two teenage sisters? The bath bombs they sell look even more amazing than the ones in the book. I'm going to have to try to make more soon....or to just break down and order some!

For someone who has never made bath bombs before, this book was a great place to start. The direction were straightforward and simple to understand with great pictures to accompany them. There are multiple resources for the reader beyond just the instructions. It should also be noted that the recipes all for creativity and customization of the reader to truly make their own.

I highly recommend this book for everything wanting to get started on making their own!

The information was written well and beautifully displayed. I really liked the variety of bath products that this book contained and also like how each product could be expanded or changed to take in personal preferences. I will definitely be referencing this for myself and for gifts to friends who enjoy a nice bath product.

Confession: I am OBSESSED with bath and skin care products. OBSESSED. I don't wear that much makeup, but anything that is supposed to make my skin glow or enhance my (frequent) bathtime experience - sign me up. I've also actually tried the Bercaw sisters' products, thanks to OwlCrate including one of the bath bombs in a long ago box!

This book is fabulous. The writing is sometimes funny and always informative. All the details are there for the beginning maker, from choosing materials and supplies to specific recipes. There are options, the writers don't insist that you MUST do things a certain way, but leave plenty of opportunity to be creative in your own way. Also, the photos are amazing! Totally want to go get stuff to make my own bath bombs now.

While the first part of the book (after the materials and info section) focuses on bath bombs, with tons of recipes for all different scents and styles, the second part has recipes for many different kinds of body care products. Face masks (be still my heart), toners, steamers, lip balms, scrubs - nearly everything under the sun.

Highly recommend. Now excuse me while I run off to see what I own that can be used for a bath bomb mold...

This is the story of two youn entrepreneurs with a zest for fun and a desire to share their bubbly goodness with others. The book features lots of great bath bomb, shower melt, and soap recipes with yummy kid-friendly scents. Would be a blast to grab this book to make bath stuff with your kids to use and give as gifts!
