Oh, you are all really going to laugh about this one.  Yesterday I finally got around to using this supposedly “must have” marine bath soak from Thalgo.  I bought it awhile ago on the advice of the very sincere beautician who told me ”this is the best bath soak and you will really love it”.  I was just waiting for a quiet time to be able to relax and enjoy it, it has just taken awhile to find that time.

Now it’s called Micronized Marine Algae by Thalgo and it is a re-mineralizing, refining product - I know you have already gone to your happy place and have absolutely no idea what I am talking about.  This only seems to prove that my husband is correct - I will try anything once and they don’t call me the Shopping Queen for nothing.

So I opened this precious sachet, to pour it into the bath which is supposed to be either: toning 36 degrees, relaxing 37 degrees or refining 38 degrees.  It’s all a bit complicated for me since I just wanted to have a bath, but anyway I tore open the top to smell the lovely aroma and thought oh, that’s just awful.  It’s brown and smells like a stagnant rock pool and looks like dried up poo. 

Ok it’s at this point when I am about to pour it into my bath you say “why bother if it’s so awful” and I say no, I am adventurous, how bad can this really be, and it costs $12.50, I shouldn’t waste it.

So I pour it into the bath and not only does it look like poo, it smells like poo.   I have to get in, fantastic.  So I got in and to be really honest it didn’t get any better, it was just awful and there really isn’t anything remotely relaxing about soaking in a bath that looks and smells like poo.

So to sum up, it’s a big zero from me and they can say what they like about it’s wonderful effects it has on the body, surely they can make a product nicer than this.

This does in fact now prove I can be sold just about anything, even possibly poo.

Available:  all Thalgo stockist’s                       Price:$12.50
