Meredith Marks may have misread her fan base when she came up with luxury bath bombs. Yes, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star loves her baths. And any old hotel accomodation without one just won’t do. The idea itself perhaps could have worked had it not been the steep price point.
RHOSCL fans are actively slamming Meredith on Reddit for the seemingly tone-deaf product. It’s just not the economy for a one-time use luxury product. Though, her 2024 collaboration with Lush on a similar product yielded positive results. Others are questioning whether the ingredients and craftsmanship could really justify the price.
Meredith Marks is selling bath bombs for $99
Meredith’s brand, Disengaging, is selling a box of 9 bath bombs for $99. The website features a bathtub with various scenic locations as backdrops. Disengagingbymm.com promises customers can “enjoy the power of diving deep within yourself” if they buy the product.
The current bombs, which include names such as, Inner Balance, Garden of Self, and Bright Aura are part of a limited collection. It is only possible to purchase the entire boxed set. Those willing to fork out the money are promised natural ingredients, skin-friendly products, and hand-crafted excellence.
Fans voiced the disapproval on Reddit. One wrote,“$99 for bath bombs? It’s titled Disengaging but it’s really just Delusional.” A second added, “Out of touch with reality. We love Meredith but also we are in a recession.”
Another two comments questioned “what makes a bath bomb luxury though?” And, “it’s a fricken bath bomb, what’s so luxury about it?”
On her website, the entrepreneur shared a statement with customers. Meredith wrote, “Anyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with my baths. For me, they’re meditative, my daily remover of stress, and a little ritual where I can disengage, recharge, and reset.”
She continued, “That’s why I created my DISENGAGING Bath Bombs, so I could share this obsession with all of you. It’s not just about relaxing in the tub, it’s about renewal.”
Perhaps Meredith’s new party game will make a more favorable impression on consumers.
Catch The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
