Review: Malibu Sweet Scents Orange Truffle Creme Hemp Moisturizing Body Wash

I love body washes, shower gels, and anything else that I can possibly use in the shower that will enhance the experience. I use different scents when I am in a certain mood, but sometimes I use them to put me in a mood.

When I came across a decent sized bottle of Malibu Sweet Scents Orange Truffle Creme Hemp Moisturizing Body Wash at my local Walmart for only $3.50 I picked up the bottle and gave the contents a sniff.

The gorgeously labeled bottle was initially what grabbed my attention. Its colorful orange label pops. It is bold, and screams 'pick me up and smell me' as you try and pass it by.

I'm truly a sucker for pretty labels; like books, I too judge my shower gels based on it's cover.

Scent:
 
What greeted me was a scent I had known from my childhood, and a scent I could not deny. It smelled like an orange creamsicle bar, and by golly it was delicious!

The more I inhaled, the more and more it reminded me a lot of a scent that I knew I had used before in the Bath & Body Works Temptation collection... yet this bottle wasn't going to cost me $10.00, like Bath & Body Works washes would.

Malibu Sweet Scents Orange Truffle Creme Hemp Moisturizing Body Wash is made with actual Hemp oils which will leave the skin nicely moisturized, and soft
(we shall see, we shall see).
 
My Use:
 
In the shower I squeezed out a decent amount of the gel into my loofah and went to work.

The gel itself is a very light and pearly colored orange which is very pretty when you first get a look at it. As soon as you begin scrubbing the gel into your skin though it creates a very thin and lack luster layer of foam, which felt nice on my skin, but was not too moisturizing or silky like most washes I have used.

The worst thing about it though was not the lack of bubbles, or silky feeling texture, but it was the fact that the scent died down to nearly nothing. I barely was able to detect the overwhelming delicious orange creamsicle scent that I had smelled initially at the store. It seemed as soon as it hit warm water, and foamed up it no longer gave off the delicious childhood scent. This sucked, because the creamy orange scent was mainly why I bought it in the first place (that, and the lovely label).

Anyhow, with that aside I rinsed off and my skin felt pretty normal. Malibu Sweet Scents Orange Truffle Creme Hemp Moisturizing Body Wash washed off without leaving any residue behind, which was a plus; however it did not leave my skin feeling clean or soft, or even a little bit moisturized. My skin just felt the same way it always does.

Overall:
 
Blah! Malibu Sweet Scents Orange Truffle Creme Hemp Moisturizing Body Wash smells fantastic in the bottle, once you take it into the shower to use it though it turns into a weak body wash that will fail to impress.

I suggest you skip on this one, even though it is really cheap and the pretty label may tell you another convincing story.

Where To Buy:
 
You can (if you still want) pick up a bottle of Malibu Sweet Scents Orange Truffle Creme Hemp Moisturizing Body Wash at local Walmart stores. I have never seen this brand being sold elsewhere, so I'm taking a guess when I say that Walmart is the only place that sells it. You may also find it being sold online.
