Bath and Body Works surprised me this season by releasing winter scents
nearly at the same time as they released their fall scents. Up on the
chopping block this week is Temptations Twisted Peppermint.
I'm not 100% sure, but from what I hear, this scent is not new...it
only makes a reappearance during the winter months. I guess I somehow
missed this one last winter, because it is new to me.
I spotted it this weekend while window shopping in my towns local
shopping center. On a shelf sat a new product that I had never seen
before. The red and white stripes was what caught my eye, and I knew
from first sight that this scent had something to do with Christmas.
On the shelves sat Twisted Peppermint. I had options...do I buy the
lotion, or do I buy the 4 ounce 3 in 1 sampler? Ehh, or both?
Seeing how 3 in 1's don't have a long lasting scent on my skin, and my
skin gets semi-dry during winter months I went with the body lotion.
The scent:
Oh glorious candy cane, how you melt my heart...really there is no
other way to put it; Twisted Peppermint smells just like a freaking
candy cane, period. It's extremely realistic to the real thing. Lip
smackingly delicious!
Packaging:
Twisted Peppermint is pretty hard to miss. The bottle is clear with
white lotion on the inside. The bottle itself had the name Twisted
Peppermint written in red, with a photo of a small circular peppermint
sucker.
The cap clicks up and is red.
Pricing:
The lotion comes to $8.00 for a 10 ounce bottle. It's not cheap, but
it is also not expensive. When you smell it though, $8.00 will seem like
a deal of a lifetime.
My Use:
I popped the click up cap and squeezed a half handful into my palms. I
first applied to my legs, and then followed up with my stomach and
arms. The scent was overwhelming...in a good, delicious, I want to lick
myself way.
The lotion absorbs pretty fast, in within just a minute or so I was
ready to put clothes on. Smelling myself was like smelling Christmas,
and it put me in that holiday mind set...even though it is still
October.
Moisturization:
Twisted Peppermint does provide some moisturization, but it does not
last long. For those looking for moisturizing lotions, I would pass on
this one. Twisted Peppermint is mainly for scent. Remember that before
you go out, buy it, and complain in a review about the lack of
moisturization...I warned you, so no whining.
Last:
The one thing I always want to know about scented lotions, is how long
they last. How long will I smell like a candy cane? Most of us want our
lotions to last all day, we want the scent to fill our nostrils for
hours and hours, and most importantly, we want those around us to smell
us, love us, and envy us.
Twisted Peppermint does a pretty good job at satisfying. The scent for
me lasted nearly 4 hours. This is pretty freaking decent compared to
other lotions out there. I apply once in the morning, (8am) and then
again at around noon, that way I am guaranteed an all day candy cane
fest.
Overall:
Temptations Twisted Peppermint Body Lotion is a winner in my opinion. I
love the scent, I love how it absorbs quickly, and I enjoy the fact
that the scent lasts for quite some time.
