Bath and Body Works, Temptations Perfect Peach 3 in 1


Maybe it’s the alluring scent the Bath and Body works gives off as I pass their store, or maybe it’s just fact that I got a $100 gift card to the store this past holiday. But whatever it is, I keep going back, even though the gift card is already tapped out.

My recent addiction is the 3 in 1 temptations. My first love was Iced Tea Twist, and since then, it’s been a pure obsession, with adding every different scent available, my bathroom now looks like it has exploded.

Perfect Peach was a necessity, even though I’ve never been overly fond of peaches. I took a sniff of it in the store, and it was pretty close to the smell of an actual peach. I decided to add it to my already overfilled shopping basket (just because I could). Basically I’m saying this purchase was a whim.

It comes in a 16 oz bottle for $12 or a 4oz bottle for $5. I myself went with the 4oz bottle only because I wasn’t head over heels ‘in love’ with the scent. For me, it was just OK.

I had to put it to the test in the same manner I had all of my temptation 3 in 1 products. The bubble bath test, the shampoo test, and my favorite the body wash test.

BUBBLE BATH-

THE GOOD-

Perfect Peach passed ‘perfectly’ like I had expected it would. I put in a small amount, even though the bottle recommends 2 to 3 capfuls. I always use less seeing how these scents are all ‘limited editions’ and eventually won’t be carried in the store or the online store once the season passes.
I got a decent amount of bubbles, and they lasted for a good 15 to 20 minutes. Not only that but my whole bath time smelt like a peach fruit cocktail- (with a twist).

THE BAD-

The product no longer smelt the same as it did in the bottle. It now smelt generic, and a bit like toxic peaches. Chemically. I don’t know if it is my water or what, but the scent wasn’t very pleasant. It however also wasn’t disgusting, but it definitely was not the same scent in the bottle.

I’d rate the bubble bath usage a 4. Based on a 1-10 rating, 10 being the highest, and 1 being the worst.

SHAMPOO TIME-


I was able to get a nice lather going with only a small quarter sized amount. It smelled really good. However that chemical stink was present again like it was in the bubble bath.
I was also very hesitant on using this as a shampoo seeing how none of the 3 in 1 temptation products in the past ever worked out well.

Sure enough, it was awful. No big surprise there. I should have learned my lesson by now; perfect peach turned my hair into a big knotty out of control dried out mess.
If you’re going to use ANY of the temptations as a shampoo, make sure you have an excellent moisturizing conditioner to use afterwards.

BODY WASH-

This is the main reason for my 3 in 1 temptation purchases. I love the way it stinks up my bathroom, and gives me an intoxicating aromatherapy session. Perfect peach did just that. I liked it; it left no residue behind on my skin, and I felt clean.
However (there is always a ‘however’) it smelled like a chemical peach. The realistic smell of this product is only in the bottle. Once it hits water, it fades into something else. Like I said though, its not a horrible smell, its not a great one though either.

Not only that, but this scent only lasts in the shower. I didn’t mind that with my other Temptation purchases because of the wonderful smell they let off during my bath. But this one didn’t give me that wonderful scent I was expecting.


So basically if you like the smell of peaches, and don’t mind that fake chemically smell, then I guess it’s a good buy for only $5. But if you’re after that intoxicating aromatherapy, heavenly like bath, this will sadly disappoint.

Bath and Body Works Tempations Frosting Forever 3 In 1 Body Wash, Bubble Bath and Shampoo


Of course I had to comment on Bath & Body Works Temptations Frosting Forever 3-In-1 Body Wash, Bubble Bath and Shampoo. It is the latest addition to my Temptations obsession.
I have been in heaven with Iced Tea Twist, and not so ‘in heaven’ with Unperfected Peach. Even with the ups and downs, I have a mission; that mission basically means to own them all.

Frosting, vanilla in particular, is one of my favorite scents, and not to mention treats. I barely even had to do a sniff test in the store to know if I wanted it or not. When I did do a fast sniff n’ whiff I smelt the glorious scent of vanilla frosting. Mmm, Mommy like! It reminded me of (obviously) vanilla frosting. It was almost as if vanilla frosting had been melted down and sold to me as soap. Yummy, good enough to eat!

Frosting Forever comes in a 16oz clear plastic bottle with an easy click cap. It runs for exactly $12. You can however purchase this is a 4oz trial sized bottle for $5 or less depending on store sales.

It is a shampoo, a bubble bath, and a body wash all in one. And with all 3 in 1 bath products each of the 3 uses were put to the test.

THE SHAMPOO-

With all of Temptations 3 in 1 bath products, I am usually disappointed after using it as a shampoo.

All of the Temptations used as shampoo usually leave my hair dry, knotty, and unmanageable. Most of the time I have to do a follow up with a deep conditioner just to get my hair feeling moist and alive again.

Frosting Forever did the same thing. Poppie! Not only that but the smell I had recalled in the store had completely changed into something entirely different. The product no longer smelled heavenly, nor was it intoxicating like it had been in the store. It smelt as if it had faded down, and turned into a plastic like vanilla sugar cookie. It sort of reminded me of a fresh opened cabbage path doll. The smell was not horrible, but it definitely was not the smell of frosting. It was however easy to get a nice thick lather going on for my dome piece.

After drying off though, you will not smell any traces of this within your hair. (For me, that was a good thing)

THE BODY WASH-

This is always my main use for 3 in 1 products. I like using them as a body wash and enjoy the aroma that it fills my bathroom with, even if the smell does not linger on my body. It’s a shower experience, not an after body aroma experience. As with all Temptation products, the smell did not remain on my skin after drying off.

I have never had any issues with getting a good lather out of Temptation products, and sure enough I did not have any issues with getting a good bubbly lather from Frosting Forever.

I would say I enjoyed using this because it did make me feel clean after using it, and it did not leave any greasy film or residue behind on my skin, but the fact is, the faint smell of plastic sugar cookies remained.

THE BUBBLE BATH-

I have never had a temptations product ‘not’ produce a nice amount of bubbles. I sort of already knew that Frosting Forever would produce the same amount as my last tests with Temptation products.

Sure enough Frosting Forever produced a nice amount of bubbles, and they lingered for a good 15 to 20 minutes afterwards.

If you have hard water though your bubbles may be less, way less.

The bottle recommends using 2 to 3 capfuls for the bubble bath. I tend to not go by rules on bottles though, and I pour in as little or as much as my heart and nostrils desire.
In this case however, I used just about what was recommended. Like I said, it produced a nice amount of bubbles.

There it was again though, that faded plastic sugary smell.

*I didn’t do the ‘taste test’ like I sometimes do with my bath products that smell too real to be a soap.

Ingredients:

Water, sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycol stearate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, cocamide MEA, fragrance, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, panthenol, hydrolyzed wheat protein, sodium chloride, hydrolyzed wheat starch, amodimethicone, glycerin, polyquaternium-7, PEG-12 dimethicone, PEG-150 distearate, hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, sodium PCA, acrylates copolymer, disodium EDTA, citric acid, benzophenone-4, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, triethanolamine, diazolidinyl urea, benzyl benzoate, citral, limonene, geraniol, linalool, yellow 5, yellow 6.

You may purchase this, and any other Bath and Body Works Temptations products in their stores, or online at www.Bathandbodyworks.com. The prices are the same, unless you have an in store coupon.

OVERALL-

This would have been an okay product, to use as a body wash and for a bubble bath, (skip shampooing with this gunk) however the smell is just not as pleasant as one would expect and want.

Shower time for me is sacred time. It is my 30 minutes of pure bliss, and in order to have the best experience in the shower I have to have a nice scent surrounding me. Not a smell of fake plastic baby dolls coated with mass amounts of sugar!

RECOMMENDATION-

If you like the smell of fake baby dolls mixed with mounds of sugar you may actually enjoy this one. However it’s just not for me.

Bath and Body Works, Aromatherapy Body Wash


My recent obsession with anything and everything Bath & Bodyworks is pretty much insane. With a recent gift card given to me I went pretty crazy on my last few shopping sprees, and somehow ended up purchasing Aromatherapy Orange Ginger Energizing Body Wash. I must have blacked out when I added this one to my shopping bag, and thought that it smelled good enough for purchase.

ANYWAYS

The 10oz body wash came in a clear plastic bottle, with a flip open lid. I bought it for approximately $13. But I am sure you can pick this up for less if there happens to be a sale going on. The wash itself has a gel like texture and has a slight rusty tint to it. It is also available for purchase on their site. www.bathandbodyworks.com

My first thought was mmm… smells good. Like citrus mixed with some herbs. It was not bad at all, however I definitely wasn’t in heaven, nor was I having this energizing lift when I gave it a sniff test. I guess I would have to put this stuff to the test while showering; perhaps the energizing side effect took place while using it?

SHOWER TIME

I squeezed out a pretty decent sized amount of it on my shower puff, and began to rub it all over my body, and… and… PHEW! EW! OH MY GOD! Can you say Pinesol mixed with Ajax? I was disgusted. I have never in my life used a product that smelled so strongly of such a nasty combination.

I guess this is why they say it gives you an ‘energizing lift’, because I was now wide awake, and shocked that I reeked of furniture polish and dish soap. Uch, I could even taste this funk in my mouth.

ANYTHING GOOD?

It works up a nice lather really fast. Unfortunately that lather reeks, and once it hits your nose, you will be reaching for the nearest body wash to try and rid the room of the stink from this Pinesol Ajax body wash.

It also did not dry out my skin or leave any nasty greasy residue behind, so I guess this would be the only plus.

The greatest thing about this product is that it doesn’t stay on your skin after you dry off. Thank God for that!

SURVEY SAYS…

Aromatherapy my rear!

I thought aromatherapy meant for the senses, to set a mood, not to make you want to jump out of the shower just to get away from the pungent overpowering stench.

I cannot believe Bath & Body Works even has this as part of their inventory. They do though, and there is more; they are selling different scents and different ‘mood enhancers’.

They have scents in the Aromatherapy line that will not only energize you, but there are some that will relieve stress (you’ll probably pass out), help sleep (careful, this one may kill you), and there are scents for sensuality.
They all smell just as bizarre and horrid as the one I had purchased. Ranging from hamster cedar chippings, to Pinesol, to rotting fruits and old dried out herbs.

I personally plan on avoiding them all after making the mistake and allowing myself to so blindly purchase Orange Ginger Energizing Body Wash.
That’s what I get for shopping so carelessly.

RECOMMENDATION: NONE!

*And a word to the wise: If you happen to get this as a gift, do know that it was most likely a re-gift. Do yourself a favor and re-gift the re-gift.

For a more delicious experience in the shower, try out Bath & Body Works Temptation line.

Bath and Body Works, Temptations, Cinnamon Bun Heaven Body Lotion


I smell good enough to eat. Literately. I'm not even kidding.

I myself have never been fond of cinnamon scents, they make my nose cringe, and I start having sneeze fits. I first did a sniff test of the Cinnamon Bun Heaven 3 in 1 bath product, and I was not too thrilled, so I left it behind.

On a recent trip back to ‘my’ local hot spot (Bath & Body Works) I pretty much had everything in the temptations line, except for this one, and Banana Smoothie. I decided maybe I would give the Cinnamon Bun Heaven lotion a try.

I have never been a lotion fan, but after discovering how wonderful Temptations lotions are after purchasing Alluring Apple lotion, I knew my 3 in 1 collection had to expand into purchasing their sister lotions.

My whoffie of whoof Gods, this stuff smelled delicious. Not only that, it was the last bottle in the store besides the tester (this stuff must be popular).
I had to have it. It smelled just like fresh baked Cinnabuns cinnamon buns. There is also a lovely subtle hint of vanilla, making you feel warm and relaxed once the scent hits your nose; it also hits all of your other senses. Yep, even your mouth will water.

For only $8 I really felt as if I was getting it for a steal, and I held on tight, I knew I had the last one. MINE! Don’t even look at it lady!

Cinnamon Bun Heaven came in a 10 ounce bottle with a click cap. The packaging was the same as the 3 in 1 washes.

IT WAS DELICIOUS-

Bath & Body Works Cinnamon Bun Heaven smells so true to a real cinnamon bun that I actually felt like I would gain weight just by sniffing it. How can something that smells so good not be bad for my skin? Surely this stuff would make me break out in zits right? Wrong, so far I have been using this lotion daily for almost a week now, and I can actually see and feel a difference in my skin. It is now smoother, and there is not one sign of a yucky little pimple on my body. Oh and it’s fat free, hehe.

This deliciously smelling lotion not only made my skin smooth, but it also worked wonders on my dryer areas on my body. It leaves no sticky nasty greasy feeling behind like a lot of lotions do.

I would however give it a good 5 minutes to completely absorb into your skin before throwing your clothes on if lotion sticking on clothing bothers you.

*I actually put my clothes on while the lotion is still drying; the scent lingers all throughout my clothing if when I do this. The wet sticky feeling is barely recognizable, so I guess it would be okay to do the same. I can also proudly report that it will not stain if you happen to plop some out on your clothes by accident.

YOU BETTER HURRY!

This is a limited edition scent. It goes away and is sealed in the vault like a Disney classic. So stock up now while you can. I am noticing that it is not even available on the www.bathandbodyworks.com site as of now. So I am assuming I got extremely lucky when I came across this ‘it’s so stinky it’s good’ in the store recently. If you have a rare run in with this scent at a local store, don’t pass it by. Before you know it money hungry folks will be selling it on Ebay for double the price. As of now only the 3 in 1 Cinnamon Bun Heaven is available on the site. It’s a cruel world I tell ya.

HERE IS THE BEST PART

If you are able to get it, Cinnamon Bun Heaven body lotion lasts, and lasts, and lasts. Maybe not in the bottle seeing how you will be using this one daily, but it lasts on your skin. It’s like the energizer bunny in lotions. I cover my body with it in the morning, and by 5o’clock I can still smell its sweet aroma all around me. It’s pure bliss.

AROMA POWER-

Beyond 8 hours. I have never found a lotion where the scent stays with me for so long. I’m not even exaggerating here. It seriously stays with you, and what’s the MOST EXCELLENT is that if you start to feel a little hot, or your body warms up, the lotions smell becomes stronger.

It just smells so darn good, that I’m being taunted by my skin to taste it, ‘Lick me… yummy… Oh just go ahead and taste me…. You know you want to…
Okay, don’t mind if I do. Mm, Not bad.

THOSE LOVELY STINKIN’ INGREDIENTS

Water (Aqua, Eau), Glycerin, Petroleum, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Fragrance (Parfum), Ceteareth-20, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Avena Sativa (Oat) Meal Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, Limonene, Eugenol, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Linaloo, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Red 33, Blue 1 (C1 42090).

For more delicious, intoxicating scents from the Temptations check out Bath & Body Works Temptation 3 in 1 bath products. The yummy ones include Iced Tea Twist, don’t forget to try some fresh picked Alluring Apples, and while you’re there you’re going to want to try Runaway Bridesmaids.

RECOMMENDATION-

I’m not a Cinnamon fan, like I have said before, but I am a fan of this product, so I can honestly say that even non-fans of cinnamon smells and non-fans of Cinnamon buns (like me) in general will find this scent intoxicating and will love it.

So basically what I’m saying is that I can honestly say I would recommend this to everyone, and anyone.

Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Beauty Booties Moisturizing Gel Socks

True Blue Spa Booties Moisturizing Gel Socks resemble an actual sock only a lot thicker. They do not cover your ankle anymore, they just rest easily on your foot and come up slightly at the beginning of the ankle, but like I said, not over it.
They are a light blue terry cloth like material, which is extremely soft.

On my quest to ridding myself of a callus that grew on the side of my foot due to an open to close shift at my old fast food job I searched endlessly for something that would rid my feet of these nasty things.

I am not going to be one of them poor gals at the beach this summer burying my feet in the sand!

I had seen them in the store before, but the price tag always scared me off, and I would end up buying some other product for half the price. I was also very hesitant because I am sort of new to the True Blue Spa line.

However my last trip to Bath & Body Works was disappointing, and I ended up not wanting anything, so I bought these instead. I assumed that they would work wonders with a price tag of $25. We shall see.


HOW TO USE THEM

You can wear these moisturizing socks as is, or you can add in some lotion for a really intense moisturizing session for your feet. I would recommend using some of your favorite lotion, or purchasing a True Blue Spa lotion. The choice is yours.

I first soaked my feet in some Fancy Fizz, and I then applied some lotion and slipped on my new socks.

Man were they cozy, the bottom of the sock was where the gel inline kept the lotion from slipping through and making a mess, and the top is just a regular fluffy terry type material that allows your foot to breathe and not sweat. The gel inside of the sock also contains olive & jojoba oils, which will soften the skin.

When I began to walk around in them I realized how easily I could fall. They were on my feet yes, but I felt like I was walking on squishy ice when trying to move around with them on. But boy were they comfortable.

I decided to use them at bedtime from there on out seeing how I wouldn’t be moving around. In about just 10 minutes of having them on, I could feel how soft my feet were getting, and I could not wait to take them off in the morning to see the results.

I buttered my socks up with one of my favorite Bath & Body Works pleasure lotions and went to sleep.

RESULTS:


Ooh la la… the next day my feet were all nice and moisturized, and not shriveled like a prune with miniaturization. I mean nice soft all out wonderful results. The callus was still there; I wasn’t expecting it to disappear though. But now it was much softer, and I could easily work on it with a pumice stone.

I’m sure with long term use I will be 100% callus free. It will probably only take a week or two of daily use to get rid of it.

It has already been 9 hours and my feet are still as soft as a newborn baby’s bottom.

I’m completely satisfied with my purchase. I honestly thought I would be getting ripped off again with another gimmick, but True Blue Spa’s Moisturizing Booties have not failed me. And usually I have very, very high standards for pricey products.
It got by with a perfect 5 stars, and exceeded my expectations.

CLEANING:

It is recommended to clean these socks under water, and do not machine wash or dry them. Hang dry them and do not wring out.

TOSS:

It is also recommended to toss them after 40 uses. I can’t see needing to do this, so long as you keep them clean.

WARNING:

If you have a circular condition or diabetes it is not recommended use these booties. It says so on the package in very small print, so please be wary.

RECOMMENDATION:

Oh yeah these are worth a buy. In bulk actually, but them for yourself, for family and for friends. They’re really a special foot treat that you will appreciate, and your feet will thank you too.

Softsoap Pomegranate & Mango Moisturizing Body Wash


I have never smelled a pomegranate. I think that is a good thing, because I can describe this ones scent to those of you who have also never smelled one either.

First and foremost I will say that it is not usual for me to buy a bath product at Eckerd’s, but when I saw this stylish bottle staring me down called soft soap in pomegranate and Mango, the wash itself was a light maroon color, with odd floating beads inside.

The bottle itself is an odd oval like shape with a built in click top lid, with a gorgeous picture on the cover of the fruit.

I had to scoop it up and figure out what it was all about.

Ah ha, the cute purplish white floating beads throughout the bottle of body wash is moisture beads! Wow! I clicked open the top and took in a whiff… it smelled fantastic! It was fruity, oh yeah fruity!

It reminded me of fresh cherries with a hint of tangerine/grapefruit, and the mango scent was very subtle yet apparent.

I couldn’t wait to get home and give it a try. At only $4.99 I felt like I was getting a bargain. Usually my body washes run me around $15 a bottle. And for a decent amount too, at 18oz I felt like I was getting the deal of a lifetime.

Where To Buy?

I found my bottle at Eckerd’s, but it can also be found in grocery stores, other drug stores, and Target. I’m sure they carry it in WalMart as well.

Use:

I squeezed out a quarter sized amount into my pouf, and the lovely smell hit my nose, as I began to run the gel into my skin I could smell the sweet fragrance filling up the entire room, and I hoped it would last like my Lush products do. The bottle itself claims to be gentle enough to use as a shave gel. I guess though that you would have to test it out for yourself to know whether or not that is true.

The lather was moisturizing and silky. I liked it, I actually liked it! I honestly had doubted it, seeing how it was cheap, and made from a company I had never heard of before. I have used many, many different body washes, but the moisturizing lather I got from soft soap left the others in the dirt when it came to the silky feeling I got from pomegranate mango body wash.

I actually had a hard time rinsing all of the left over soap off of my pouf. I was covered in suds within just a few moments of rubbing back and forth, and the smell, the glorious smell. I was actually thinking of drying off quickly and purchasing the rest of the available scents.

Dry Time:

I was really hoping the scent would last on my skin after I dried off, I honestly thought it would too after the luscious thick lather I got from it in the shower. I was able to smell it slightly for about 10 minutes afterwards, but it dissipated into nothing after that.

Not only that my skin also felt the same. I truly thought I would feel moisturized afterwards, but the product failed in this department. I’m guessing the pretty moisture beads are stuck in the bottle for show.

Overall:

Now after all of that is said and done, I most likely will still continue to buy it, even though it provides nothing for my skin afterwards, I enjoy the rich silky lather, and lovely scent it gives off in the shower. I don’t really have an issue with dry skin on my legs or body, so the scent is really all I am ever after.

I’ve gotten the same result from $20 bottles of shower wash, so for this one to be only $5, it’s a star in my eyes.

I’d recommend it to anyone who likes a fruity scented IN shower experience, because after that this wash is pretty much useless when it comes to hydration.

Bath & Body Works Liplicious Lip Gloss


Oh he hates me now. I know. He hates shopping, and he especially hates girly shops. But when you have 2 coupons for free items at Bath & Body Works, you bat your eyes and beg.
You see they only allow you to use one coupon per person, and well, I dragged him along because I’m greedy and wanted to use both coupons in one shot.

LIPLICIOUS

was the name, and free was the game. FUH---REEE!!! I printed up 2 coupons and have a heap more saved up for when I decide to go back into the store to get more before the coupons expire.

I rummaged through all of the available flavors of lip-glosses. They are all tinted a nice fashionable color, so you can choose by tint, or by flavor.

I of course went for Hotcakes, which has always been a favorite. My boyfriend was pretty flustered when he had to go up to the counter and get me Watermelon Sorbet, along with a few lotions I had chosen. Love yah!

Liplicious comes in a .47oz clear tube. Most of them have little sparkles you can easily detect through the clear tube, and some look mate in color. The tube is about 4 inches long, with a side slanted plastic lip applicator head.
The cap itself is a silver color, and the labeling will always say LIPLICIOUS in cursive writing. Next to the logo you will see a small picture of fruit or food, depending on what flavor you pick up.

My Hotcakes for instance is a plum like color with fine pieces of sparkles throughout the tube, not what I was expecting from a flavor called Hotcakes.
Watermelon Sorbet was a bright neon colored pink, with little flecks of glitter throughout the gloss as well.

They smelled delicious, not just the two I got for free, but all of the available flavors were tempting. I only wished I had another friend with me, so I could grab up another one for free.

How Is It?

Delicious actually, thanks for asking!

Hotcakes smells and tastes like hotcakes, and Watermelon Sorbet takes like watermelon. Not fresh watermelon, but this particular gloss reminded me of bubbleicious bubble gum.

You simply squeeze a little out of the pinhead thick hole and apply to your lips. The gloss goes on smoothly and evenly without making my lips feel heavily greased up or sticky.

The Hotcakes lip-gloss left a brownish tint to my lips, and didn’t look like the plum color that was in the tube. It wasn’t a huge brown tint, but it was enough to make it an obvious color. I didn’t mind. It was light, it gave my lips a pretty shine, and I could smell my lips, and they were divine! All I needed was some butter, and breakfast would have been served right there on my lips. Yum.

Watermelon Sorbet gave my lips a much shiner pink tint. I was glad the pink tint wasn’t hot pink like it is in the tube. It was more of a transparent very light pink with tons of sparkle. The flavor however is not my favorite, but it is still yumm-o-licious regardless.

THE DOWNSIDE…

Where there is the smell of yum, and the taste of mmm… there is always a bad side of the moon we must discuss.

The lip-gloss wears off pretty fast. The shine the gloss gives out at first goes away in less than 20 minutes, and the scent dissipates with it as well.

So while you enjoy it for the minutes you have it, it’s great, but it goes away far too fast and leaves a dried out feeling to your lips forcing you to reapply and reapply over and over again. I don’t mind it so much, I’m always reapplying lip products, but it’s a fair warning for those of you out there who hate the constant re-application. (You start to look vain).

Also don’t expect your lips to feel moisturized, that nice feeling also goes away and leaves you feeling dry. Bummer.

Other Flavors:

Cotton Candy, Limeade, Pineapple Juice, Grape Soda, Raspberry Jam, Candied Apple, Peach Daiquiri, Pink Grapefruit, Red Hot Cinnamon, Mango Mousse, Maple Syrup, Frozen Blackberry, and Dipped Strawberry. Sheer and non sheer.

Can I Have Some?

Sure can!

Bath & Body Works stores carry them, or you can purchase it online at www.bathandbodyworks.com for $6. I believe there is a sale going on right now, so you can scoop them up for even less.

Overall:

They smell, and taste fantastic, however they do not do much for the lips after the gloss dries out. It’s pretty useless, but great if you happen to get it for free!
