When I saw no polysorbate, I knew I'd never buy the kit. Polysorbate doesn't only prevent the gunk from sticking to your skin, but it prevents "ring around the tub", or an oily residue in the tub itself... which can cause slip and fall hazards when moving in the tub, including standing up and stepping out of the tub! I refuse to buy a bath bomb without an emulsifier or polysorbate. Period. It SHOULD be industry standard to include it. It isn't expensive! There's no excuse!
This is exactly what I was thinking. I make bath bombs and polysorbate 80 is a must! Also micas instead of lakes is not terrible but not the best either.
One of the first times I threw my back out was because I slipped because of a shitty bathbomb. And after I did it the first time it became so much easier to do it after that. It took next to nothing to hurt myself again.
As an ex candle store owner who made their candles, usually paraffin wax does crater as it cools. The product condenses as it cool at different temps, so the sides usually are fine but if the cool down isn’t controlled you get the dip. 🖤
I enjoy these craft kit videos, because it feeds my curiosity without me having to go to the store and get them myself, I'm so lazy haha! But seriously I enjoy these, we act so much alike "ooooooh!" that I'm totally here for it!
I really appreciate this review! I work with a charity that provides kids with christmas gifts and older kids (10-14 years old) are always who are left to shop for. This brand has age appropriate kits but I’ve never seen reviews for them. I’d love to see you review more of their kits, even if they aren’t a bath and body product! Also maybe a rating of ‘can a pre-teen handle this’ would be wonderful!
I think the bath bomb kit is the better value, because you can re-use the molds. Also, I want to learn to make bath bombs. Yes, it needed a few more ingredients to be successful, but overall I think I would buy a kit. It would help me to feel more comfortable getting my feet wet in making bath bombs.
I don't know about value. When the pandemic hit my daughter got in her head that she wanted to make bath bombs and I figured, sure, it's SCIENCE! I got some nice shaped plastic molds for $3, but the suggestion I found online was use plastic Easter eggs. I used candy flavorings and food grade orange and vanilla extracts (because they were what I had on hand and you DON'T want rando essential oils unless you know they won't irritate your skin) but a bottle of imitation vanilla is $2 Corn starch I had on hand, but you can get 1 lb for $2 I had a 5 lb bag of baking soda on hand for laundry, but my grocery store has 1 lb boxes for $1 and that's enough for a dozen bombs 2 lb Bag of citric acid was $12, again you don't need as much as I got, if you're looking for small scale making you can get a jar of fruit-fresh for about 5 bombs for less than $5. or just crush up vitamin C tablets. At about 3-5 tablets per bomb (depending on size) you're looking at $3 or less for a dozen bombs. Food coloring (what I had on hand, a few drops is all you need) but you can get 4 colors for $2. 3 lb bag Epsom salts for $3 (that is enough for 100+ bath bombs) and olive oil, coconut oil, or shea butter are nice-- but not needed. You can get everything but the mold from most grocery stores, no ordering needed, and if you already have an Easter egg, save some time and $$. So you can "make your own" dozen-- with enjoyable scents you can smell and avoid the skeezy layer on top of the water-- for $15 IF you have nothing and have to go buy everything from scratch (with a bunch of stuff left over.)
I've watched other channels review the same bathbomb kit (Evan and Katelyn) the coconut oil is definitely not coconut oil. it didn't melt in the microwave after several minutes. Hopefully they changed that since their video, but they definitely got Vaseline in theirs.
I think the candle kit should win because the lack of polysorbate making a mess in my tub is 100% a NO! LOL, I'm not about having to clean the tub so many times. The candle is less messy. 😂
I made a bath bomb kit almost identical to this that was marketed to adults. The plastic wrap just makes it easier to get them out of the mold, not because they stick, but because the mixture gets so crumbly without the polysorbate that even with all the pressing etc, they just fall apart instantly.
I bought the bathbomb kit for my 3 year old daughter last Christmas. Definitely not a perfect kit, but she loved it and we got it on sale for ~$10. Worth it!! My biggest complaint is that it stains her bathtub every time.
Honestly, I think both would be fun - though with bath bombs, I feel like if you're willing to buy the citric acid on your own, they're pretty easy to put together easy without a kit. But if it's all about the fun and for a gift? Go for it!
I do see a point to the scent choices for the candles. I would've use a kit like that to make a gift for mom or grandma and as a kid it always made me sad if a craft kit had scents like marshmallow that I knew they wouldn't like. Floral or citrus seems like perfect choices for gifting. If you're making it for yourself however I definitely agree a more fun kiddy option would be smart to include!
The sinkhole is the wax adhering to the wick. It’s a normal thing. Candle makers just top it up. Tunneling normally happens after burning the candle happens because of candle memory. If you don’t burn the candle to the edges, then the candle remembers it and won’t melt beyond that. That wick was quite thin.
I did the same bath bomb kit about a year ago with my 10yo neice and 5yo nephew. 😊 While being a little too delicate for the 5yo, the directions were easy to follow and both kids had so much fun. Honestly, I thought it was a great price for the about 2 hours of fun that we had with it. Also, they had so much fun watching the extra mix fizz in the sink that they just played 'potions' in the sink for the rest of the visit. Clean up was easy and we beat the heat without any arguing or boredom 🎉 Next time I would consider buying a more professional kit so we could make more since the kiddos are getting older and enjoyed it so much the first time. 10/10 thought it was a great kit for the price paid.
As a maker, I'm not a really a fan of either kit. Both of these products need sooo much testing to get them right. But your video is so fun! bath bombs are really difficult to master- it took me awhile! This kit needs better instructions and more ingredients. Polysorbate 80 is a must when making bath bombs or the ingredients will sit on the top of the water and then stain your tub. Adding water (or witch hazel) is a must to get your bath bombs to be solid. For round bombs, there are trays you can use (I use foam egg crates with plastic wrap over) to keep their round shape. Yours look great, did they stain your tub?
You did a beautiful job on the bath bombs 💛💙 im going to make some coffee, my breakfast borrito, then head to work. Hopefully I'm going to have time to mow the lawn today and get into my garden to get my zucchini into the ground.
Your craft kit testing is always fave-- when I saw the video title I clicked to watch immediately! The bath bomb kit was really cute and would be such fun to do as a party activity imo. Hope you do the fancy kit too!!
When I used to make bath bombs, I always loosely filled each half of the mold and made sure to really mound it over and then smash the halves together, always came out perfect!
The bath bombs definitely won. You can make 5, it had lots of colors, and the mold actually worked lol. Too bad the scents were not stronger. For the candles the kit should have had a third container so you could make 3 without waiting for one to burn out and reuse the container plus buy an extra wick. Or have made two larger containers for bigger candles.
I disagree, you're better off having more wax than you need (in case some gets spilled!) It's not like the kit was sold per weight, it calls out it makes two candles. As for value, the wax and the reusable tins cost way more than the raw ingredients for the bath bombs, I just priced out making a dozen from scratch from my grocery store right this moment and it's less than $15 for a dozen bombs (with as much vanilla as you need!), if you have nothing like food coloring on hand already. It's even cheaper if you have pantry staples on hand/ account for having left overs you can use for other stuff.
Those were very satisfying to watch. Yes please test the ad kits next ❤ Love how thorough you are with testing and your maker input on what would've made kits better
i used to run a toys r us in macys (last holiday season) and we sold STMT stuff. it was so overpriced for what it was. basically a $10 walmart kit put in a $20-something package i mean that was true of like all the stuff we sold but craft kits in particular always stood out to me bc i wanted them to be worth the price so badly but alas nope
Thanks Katie! I just got an order from you, I like to think of you waving goodbye to my package! 😂😂 I got strawberry sugar scrub for my granddaughter…she loves it! Thank you❤
Yes to the Makesy kits please. I've been using them since before they changed their name and branding and were still operating under The Wooden Wick Company.
Now this might be a completely wacky idea, but given your experience what if you created what you consider the perfect kit. Whether that's candles, bath bombs or whatever else. It would be interesting to see🙂❤
That outro is a mood you had me dying with the walrus bit. I've never felt the need to do that but I have annoyed plenty a family member by drumming with them. Anywho, thanks for the review.
I feel like the STMT name is supposed to make you think about how this kit will help you make a **statement** but the branding is making me think of those You'niverse craft kits that are frequently on clearance at Walmart, and my brain keeps autocorrecting the name to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so it's giving... confusion. I'm not sure if that's what they were going for, but if so message received! 💁
I love when people who knows what they're doing do kits like these cos you can give your knowledge. Like it's not you this is a bad kit or it's good but we can make it better 😹
Ive made the candle kit before and the kit quality seems to differ per kit. With my candles the pink colorent worked really well but the blue took almost the bottle to make a candle that was so light blue it was almost white. I used the lavender fragrance, and the candles had no scent. Burn quality was the same. As for the labels, I got only half were actually sticky the others were the type you had to tape down.
I swear it sounds like Katie is saying bath *bong* in the beginning of the video instead of bath *bomb*😳 The unhinged walrus bit also might have helped feed that perception...😅
I prefer the candle kit because you learn from making the candles (& the mistakes made). With the bath bomb you can’t get an understanding of how they’re made because you’re just mixing part A & part B
What if... a kit had basically the simplest version of a cleansing balm as the "coconut oil" component. Polysorbate 80 and solid coconut oil blended and then poured. It would be such a simple fix to be honest.
I think the bath bombs won but it wouldn't take much adjusting for the candle kit to win. An extra container and some better instructions and that kit's pretty darn cute.
I wouldn't want the rose as I hate that smell so much. But I love lavender and the orange one would be nice too. If they'd replaced the rose with a cinnamon then that would've gone great with the orange. Not keen on the colours though. I don't like pink or blue and mixing them giving purple wouldn't be better as I also don't like purple. But I guess at least purple would fit for lavender.
Are they really put Uniball Signo gold pen in the kit?! That's kinda fancy! Looked up the price, I know in USD it's only almost 3$, but in my place, that's equal to 2 or 3 cheap meal prices 😅 (1 if mid price meal)
Hi, thanks for the video. As candle maker I can tell theres no 100% soy wax in this kit, looks like parasoy blend and if its made from China I dont think this one is premium refined... The sink hole you can see on the packaging is common in paraffin wax candles. This wax if poured at high temperature it shrinks and makes sink holes, that's why we pour a leftover wax to "repair". The wicks are definitely not the wrong size and I suggest to double wick 😎. The fragrance and color aren't concentrated but I think it's because for safety reasons to avoid any harmful levels of chemicals if kids are using it.
With two candle tins, three fragrance oils, and no instructions, I would have dumped AT LEAST a whole bottle of fragrance into those candles. Probably a whole bottle of color, too. I'd say that kit is doomed to make people unhappy.
When I saw no polysorbate, I knew I'd never buy the kit. Polysorbate doesn't only prevent the gunk from sticking to your skin, but it prevents "ring around the tub", or an oily residue in the tub itself... which can cause slip and fall hazards when moving in the tub, including standing up and stepping out of the tub! I refuse to buy a bath bomb without an emulsifier or polysorbate. Period. It SHOULD be industry standard to include it. It isn't expensive! There's no excuse!
This is exactly what I was thinking. I make bath bombs and polysorbate 80 is a must! Also micas instead of lakes is not terrible but not the best either.
And from other reviews of the same kit (by Evan and Katelyn) it's most likely vaseline, not coconut oil
One of the first times I threw my back out was because I slipped because of a shitty bathbomb. And after I did it the first time it became so much easier to do it after that. It took next to nothing to hurt myself again.
As an ex candle store owner who made their candles, usually paraffin wax does crater as it cools. The product condenses as it cool at different temps, so the sides usually are fine but if the cool down isn’t controlled you get the dip. 🖤
Gotta love Caleb having fun editing 😆

The pink bath bomb looks like a scoop of icecream 🥺🍦🍓

I had a rough day but then I saw this video! This is exactly what I need now! Thank you for creating this safe space and happy place ❤❤❤

As a candle crafter the pit is from uneven cooling
The mushrooming is from reheating the top of the wax. Wax will do that if it cool too rapiidly/unevenly.
One minute in and we see Katie letting her intrusive thoughts take over.. I love the energy from this video 😂❤
Surprised the candle kit didn’t include two sticky dots for the wicks. A simple add.
LOVE the hair Katie! The gold accents really look Greek goddess-y. Greek goddess of suds lol

The second bath bomb looked like Saturn before you trimmed the edges. Super cool!!!
Okay, definitely intrigued by your mention of a new high-end crafting kit. Yes, please! :)
Love watching you make these craft kits!
Yes. Let's see the more expensive craft kits.
There's a company that's local to Denver called Adults and Crafts that does what seem like really amazing craft kits. Would love to see your thoughts!
I love when you do these crafty videos
I woild love to see a follow up.bath bomb video in which you tweak the recipe a little and add polysorbate and a better level of scent.
That outro is a mood you had me dying with the walrus bit. I've never felt the need to do that but I have annoyed plenty a family member by drumming with them. Anywho, thanks for the review.

This was so much fun!! I really enjoyed watching.
I love when people who knows what they're doing do kits like these cos you can give your knowledge. Like it's not you this is a bad kit or it's good but we can make it better 😹
If you need to wear gloves to mix the bath bombs then is it safe to use as a bath bomb??
My guess is there's a reaction with the other ingredients that makes it less irratating.
I use a spray bottle when I used to make lumine.
And the Oscar for best editing on a RUclips video goes to.... YOU GUYS BECAUSE THAT WAS SO FUN AND AMAZING!!!!!
They are just fun craft kits.
If it was oil fragrance and colour, you have to be very careful not to add too much as it can prevent the wax from setting properly.
PLEASE DO ANOTHER ZELDA SOAP. IT'S MY FAVORITE I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love these! Second best to soap hacks
I love when she does something "silly-to-questionable" and says "Catherine. No." 😂😂

Same here 😅 i would love to know where it's from.
From watching Nerdycrafter, I was expecting the bathbomb kit to be disappointing.

I swear it sounds like Katie is saying bath *bong* in the beginning of the video instead of bath *bomb*😳 The unhinged walrus bit also might have helped feed that perception...😅
love your kit test videos☆
I have that same shirt . Just groovyyyyyy
Katie girl! Where did you get that shirt???? Please let me know. Wonderful video as usual. Thanks for sharing and just being you.
🍄I need to know where you got the groove shirt! 🎆 I’m obsessed! I need one in my life!!!
I prefer the candle kit because you learn from making the candles (& the mistakes made). With the bath bomb you can’t get an understanding of how they’re made because you’re just mixing part A & part B
I was thinking of getting a bath bomb kit thanks
Love your shirt
I love these kinds of videos...thank you Katie!!!
Walrus, for me are the twizzler licorice
I was gifted that bath bomb kit a few years ago. I did not enjoy using it at all.
Where do you get your shipping boxes from?
What if... a kit had basically the simplest version of a cleansing balm as the "coconut oil" component. Polysorbate 80 and solid coconut oil blended and then poured. It would be such a simple fix to be honest.
Definitely the bath bomb for the winner!
Love these videos
Poor kenny! I totally forgot about him! I wish he would make his videos again or come on these! I miss his humor!😂
I think the bath bombs won but it wouldn't take much adjusting for the candle kit to win. An extra container and some better instructions and that kit's pretty darn cute.

Super off topic! Please tell me where you got your necklace! ❤
Lol the struggling trying to cut the plastic wrap with a knife 😅
Katie!! I went to buy your soap frosting box today and its sold out 😩. Any idea when it'll be back in stock?
Yes pls to expensive craft kit video 🎉
Did the candle have a good throw how was the smell when it was burning
I was wondering if maybe you would do a q&a not about soap but about you?
Why would they give you such a teenie tiny candle mixing container if you need to work quickly?!
Fun!
Hmm, definitely should have included those stickers that keep the wicks down, not everyone has a hot glue gun 😅
Honestly don't even need a sticker, you can stick it down with a bit of the melted wax
That bath bomb makes me think of strawberry ice cream.
Are they really put Uniball Signo gold pen in the kit?! That's kinda fancy!
Looked up the price, I know in USD it's only almost 3$, but in my place, that's equal to 2 or 3 cheap meal prices 😅 (1 if mid price meal)
It didn't have the logo on the cap, so I'm guessing it's just a generic gold gel pen as tons of unbranded gel pens use that same barrel and cap combo.
Katie is the winner for finally getting a bath bomb to turn out
Oh god the walrus killed me 😂
morning sweetheart myself and wifey just love then you do this please do more
From personal experience with Horizon Group craft kits they're over priced with cheap ingredients. The graphics are PhotoShopped on their packaging.
SPACE BUN TUTORIAL
Hi, thanks for the video. As candle maker I can tell theres no 100% soy wax in this kit, looks like parasoy blend and if its made from China I dont think this one is premium refined...
The sink hole you can see on the packaging is common in paraffin wax candles. This wax if poured at high temperature it shrinks and makes sink holes, that's why we pour a leftover wax to "repair".
The wicks are definitely not the wrong size and I suggest to double wick 😎.
The fragrance and color aren't concentrated but I think it's because for safety reasons to avoid any harmful levels of chemicals if kids are using it.
With two candle tins, three fragrance oils, and no instructions, I would have dumped AT LEAST a whole bottle of fragrance into those candles. Probably a whole bottle of color, too. I'd say that kit is doomed to make people unhappy.
I’ve seen these same kits at Five Below. Maybe it’s worth $2.50 per candle?
