Franken Fridays With Our Favorite Franken Queen

Whoooot Lets welcome back my sexy franken master Laurie with a 2nd Franken Friday
and now on to what you all really came here for!!
 
 Hello lovely followers! Jen has asked me back again for another Franken Friday post! WOW what an honor. Today I have for you one of my favorite frankens. I got started in frankening when I first saw Deborah Lippmann's Glitter In The Air--when I saw how much it cost I said whaaaaaaat? That's crazy expensive for a polish (that was my early days lol!) I know I could make something that looked just like it for alot less and therefore I did. I did the same with Essie Starry Starry Night and China Glaze's Grape Crush and I've done it again with Butter London's Black Knight!
I decided to name my franken dupe of Black Knight--Gawain. I love the stories of the Knights of the Round Table and Gawain is one of my favorite knights. He is considered the purest knight by his fellow knights--how terrific is that?
Here he is in all his glory:




 Here's a flash shot of him so you can see the tiny bit of holo glitter I added to him for some extra "punch"

The real beauty about Gawain though is his price! I was able to make him for less than $5! Now to me that's a bargain you can't pass up!

*REVIEW* YOU MUST HAVE YES I SAID YOU MUST HAVE *REVIEW

So I have something extra special for everyone today I can honestly say this is my newest addiction and FizzButter made it possible I can truly say these are some of the most relaxing and luxurious bathes I have ever taken I recieved large bath bombs in the smells of The Love Bomb, 
The Calm Bomb, and Sandalwood Vanilla Bomb I used two of them and let my friend Crystal have the Sandalwood Vanilla Bomb because I am not to keen on vanilla smell things (I have this same dislike for artificial watermelon) So, I will be including some input from her as well 
They came in a nice big box with lots of peanuts
(I used to chew on these when I was younger cause I thought they were actual peanuts)
 
 I unfortunantly didn't get to take pictures of the bath water of this one my camera died as I was running the bath water but The Calm Bomb was amazing it made the water purple also another one of my favorite colors FizzButter describes this bath bomb as a clean bright scent with notes of succulent grapefruit, tangerine, petitgrain, lily rose, and white rose. This is a great citrus/floral blended bathbomb that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes it is also amongst their three topsellers

The Love Bomb is described as an incredibly lively scent. It's sassy with a citrus burst of Japanese Yuzu, grapefruit, mandarin, and bergamot. Hints of tangy peel adds to it's complexity. This zesty fragrance is both clean and refreshing.
You've got to try this one!!!

I thought I could break it in half needless to say that didn't go over so well so no savoring these delicious goodies and for some reason I'm not dissapointed with the fact of the matter
PINK WATER OMG!!
 This one was my favorite the smell was so sweet and amazing as it filled the whole bathroom I loved the pink water and I felt like barbie bath time!!
Sandalwood Vanilla is described as a lovely sandalwood scented bath bomb with vanilla and a touch of rose. This top-seller has a very pleasing unisex scent that will appeal to a wide variety of taste

 Pretty light pink water
 Bath Bomb Fizzle Fizzle in the water

It smelled like fresh vanilla and sandalwood and the smell filled up the whole room and I loved seeing the oils  in the water as well as how the water turned pink it made me feel sexy like cleopatra
- Crystal

So my overall opinion of the two I tried was they were amazing you can feel the butters and oils soaking into your skin while you sit and relax in the luxurious scents I shaved my legs during both times and my legs were the softest they have ever been and are still very soft even after I have shaved and showered time and time again now you say colored/scented water not good for  the girlybits maybe but I didn't have any issues afterwards I know this is a important deal and I don't mean to bring it up  but it's a bit of important piece of information they include pictures of each ingredients used on every bath bomb on the site which I love seeing what is going into being used to make this product

At FizzButter they specialize in moisturizing bath fizzies with fabulous shea butter in every bomb.

If you love sheabutter like FizzButter does, you'll especially enjoy how soft your skin feels as warm bathwater & warm skin give the shea the perfect oppurtunity for maximum absorption.
