Bath & Body Works to release Limited Editon Collection of Shower Gels and Bar Soaps!!!

Are you excited?

I'm curious about the bar soaps!

I've used the shower gels and while the scent doesn't stay on you for a long time it still makes my showers a somewhat of an aromatherapy experience :)

Bath & Body Works Body Cream: Old Vs. New Formula

So Bath & BodyWorks revamped their Body Cream and changed it from Triple Moisture Body Cream to 24-Hour Moisture Ultra Shea Body Cream.

The first seven ingrediants are identical and in the same order but then the next three ingrediants are the same but switched around.

For the Triple Moisture it goes: Dimethicone, Isohexadrcane, and Stearic Acid.

For the 24-Hour Moisture it goes: Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, and Isohexadrcane.

After those three the ingrediants are pretty much  different from one another, besides a few ingrediants that pop up. Both ingrediant lists end in Citronellol.

I wish I knew chemistry 

The Triple Moisture Body Cream boosted about: "[containing] nourishing Milk Proteins, hydrating Rice Bran Oil, and protective Acai Berry Extract." 

The 24-Hour Moisture Ultra Shea Body Cream boosts about its use of: "infused with ultra-rich, moisturizing Shea Butter."

Going from three ingrediants to one? This Shea Butter must be good!

I've used lotions with Shea in them and honestly it wasn't anything that changed my life.

The 24-Hour one seems a tad thicker but overall they have the same consistency

Overall the new version is better than the older one.

Bath & Body Works Endless Weekend Eau De Parfum

Bath & Body Works Endless Weekend Preview Eau De Parfum

This is one of +Bath and Body Works Preview Eau De Parfums, so it's smaller and looks different but it has the same formula as the actual perfume.

See my other review here.

Endless Weekend retails at Bath & Body Works for $39.50 for 1.7 fl oz.

Bath & Body Works Endless Weekend Preview Eau De Parfum

The site description is:

With a higher concentration of fragrance oils, our Eau de Parfum gives you a more intense, longer-lasting aroma for the ultimate, most luxurious indulgence.

 

 Top Notes: Raspberry Lychee Sorbet, Sparkling Mandarin, Juicy Nectarine, Apple, Mirabelle Plum
 

Mid Notes: Sun-Kissed Magnolia, Gardenia, Plum Blossom, Fresh Picked Jasmine Sambac
 

Dry Notes: Vanilla Sandalwood, Vanilla Orchid, Blue Coconut Water, Sugared Musk

 

 Key Fragrance Notes:

 An exhilarating blend of raspberry lychee sorbet, sun-kissed magnolia and vanilla sandalwood

 

 Usage:

Lightly spray at pulse points such as wrists or neck. Do not rub or wipe for long-lasting fragrance.

I actually like their Morocco Orchid & Pink Amber scent better.

At first this comes off as really sweet and warm but then after a few minutes it smells spicier. 

I don't particularly like spicy scents either, if only it would've stayed sweet.

Honestly this perfume fades to a very faint scent after 10 minutes and I can't say buying this is worth anyone's money. You'd have to spray this every 10 minutes to smell anything.

Bath & Body Works Morocco Orchid & Pink Amber Preview Eau de Parfum review

I'm in #LOVE with these 'Preview Eau de Parfums'.

Bath & Body Works Morocco Orchid & Pink Amber Preview Eau de Parfum

I say 'Parfums' because there's currently three available, besides the two 'forever' ones they've always had. I don't know how they picked which new scents to "preview" but the ones available now are Morocco Orchid & Pink Amber, Endless Weekend, and French Lavender & Honey.

They retail at $8.50 each but they're on sale now!

Screen Shot! I searched for 'preview' so I don't know why there's a candle and gift card lol.

 The 'Forever' ones (Forever Red & Forever Midnight) have been in stores for forever and the bottles are made of plastic which cheapens it.

What can I say I love glass.

I love the bottles designs. I love the abstract print and that gorgeous blue color!
The cap just pulls off and the sprayer is plastic. I appreciate that there's a spray because with a lot
of mini perfumes they just leave it open for you to dab it on. 

They're about two inches high and so cute and mini! Perfect for the purse or just to look pretty on your dresser!

ANYWAYS on to the scent!!

The site description is:

Our master perfumers have captured the allure of an exotic Moroccan garden with a lush fantasy of Marrakesh Orchid, glowing pink amber, and rose petal water wrapped in apricot nectar and vanilla silk.

• Eau de Parfum is features our most concentrated form of fragrance oil, for a long lasting indulgence

Key Fragrance Notes:

Top Notes: lemon verbena, apricots, desert sand accord, fig nectar
Mid Notes: Jasmine, Casablanca orchid, rose petal water,
Dry Notes: Vanilla bean, Kashmir wood, exotic amber

To me the scent is pleasantly floral and sweet. It's a heavier scent.

I like it. Dustin doesn't.

A few spritzes on the wrist and after a few seconds I had to put my nose to my wrist to smell it. 

For an Eau de Parfum? I'm not impressed.

So I just spray it a few times more all over and I still only faintly smell it. And now it smells slightly candyish. I'm liking this scent more and more now. 

So overall the Eau de Parfum wasn't as strong as my more expensive Parfums, like Alien by Thierry Mugler, so you'll need to spray more to equal the strength of say one spritz of Alien.

The full size bottle is $39.50 (currently half off!)

 (And it's design is beautiful! Like a castle from Aladin!)

NOT MY PHOTO!

Is it worth it?

You do the math.

Depends on how much you like the scent.

Review and Swatches of Bath & Body Works Whipped Shimmer Body Cream in Vanilla Bean Noel

Bath & Body Works, Holiday Traditions, Whipped Shimmer Body Cream in Vanilla Bean Noel.

I know reviewing this may not seem totally relevant since it's from Holiday Traditions 2013 but I'm doing it because you can still buy them from online marketplaces like amazon and ebay. 

 Also Bath & Body Works has limited edition Whipped Shimmer Body Cream in scents from their Signature Collection in their lineup. 

Find them here.

And honestly I don't think would've changed their formula from December to now. 

A whipped cream-like bottle and dispenser.

Close up: Can you see the shimmer???? :D

I love this stuff. The smell is so good I literally want to eat it. It makes me hungry for sweets. 

I also love how shimmery it is. The glitter is gold too! GOLD!!!

My fiance hates it but I love it! It makes me feel like a pretty fairy :D

Also the shimmer is shimmer, not glitter. So even though it is chock full of shimmer it's not gaudy. It's actually semi-subtle. It gives your skin a luminous golden glow.

This is it semi rubbed in.

The finish of this lotion isn't greasy, which is awesome! It also moisturizes nicely.

Bath & Body Works, Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Fresh Sparkling Snow

I have never been into a Bath & Body Works before this holiday season, don't ask me why I just haven't. OMG I have experienced the magic! I am officially #addicted. I have bought so many products since then it almost makes up for the all the years I have been without. What? I got good holiday deals haha. Don't worry I plan on reviewing all the good stuff :)

Fresh Sparkling Snow is a holiday scent and it is yummy! Even better is that it foams! I remember as a kid, discovering foaming hand soap in bathrooms I would play around making a mess until my mom finally found me and yelled at me to stop lol.

I love the Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soaps because they actually leave your hands scented. The scent even lasts for several hours. Fresh Sparking Snow smells berry-ish, that's my best description. I feel the name is kind of deceptive because when I think of fresh snow I don't think of sweet berries lol.

The foam is thick and one pump is more than enough to cover my hands and swathe them in foamy goodness. When rinsing my hands get that squeaky clean feeling.

I love it. My (and my fiances!) other favorite Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap is Sea Island Cotton, we love that scent!
