I purchased Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel a few months ago. At the same time though I also picked up a more expensive bottle of Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Body Cream.
It sports the same glorious Light Blue scent fans already know and love, however instead of having a runny watery consistency, the cream has a much thicker texture to it. For me I would compare it to a body butter mixed with a body cream.
A very thick texture, but it absorbs with ease nonetheless.
What I love about it, is the fact that even though it is a thick cream, it does not leave behind a greasy residue. It simply absorbs into skin, leaving behind nothing but soft scented skin.
The scent (like all Light Blue products I have used) is long lasting. I find that layering the cream on top of the body gel works best. After applying the cream I will then spritz with the perfume for all day long scent.
Moisturizer?
I can't recommend Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Creamto those looking for relief for dry skin. Although this cream leaves skin feeling soft, it does not do much when it comes to long lasting moisturization.
If you are after long lasting Light Blue scent though, I highly recommend the Body Cream.
It is a bit pricey, but if you are a true Light Blue lover, it is a must have. The scent will last long even if it is not layered. So for me, it's a winning product. One I buy time and time again.

Love It!!! DKNY Be Delicious Body Lotion
Whenever I buy body lotion, I don't buy it for the fact that it promises soft skin, or that it promises to bring relief to dry skin. I buy body lotions primarily for scent.
I bought DKNY Be Delicious Perfume for women, based solely on the fact that I loved the scent during an in store test. I should have tested it first, walked around, and seen if it lasted long. Unfortunately I ended up with buyers remorse, because I the scent didn't last long at all, and it was already too late. I purchased the bottle for close to $60.00.
When I was given a small tube of DKNY Be Delicious Body Lotion, I assumed it would be like the sister perfume. Scented great, but with no last at all.
Regardless though, I was glad it was given to me, because for 1 it was designer, and 2, I didn't buy anything for my co-worker, so I knew that it would make for a good gift (Yes I'm a re-gifter).
The lotion itself smelled awesome. I of course had to test it before giving it away. It had the exact replica scent that the perfume did.
Be Delicious smells like fresh granny-smith apples, with sugar, and a dab of honey. It has a very uplifting refreshing scent, and I love it.
The lotion is the normal bland white color that I was expecting. I was hoping though they'd add some green dye in to it, to make it a little interesting, but they didn't which is fine I guess.
It absorbs nto skin fast, and it definetley surrounds your body with it's addicting scent. As expected it did not soften skin, or help out with dry skin. Like I said though, I like lotions that offer scent, and nothing more. If you however are looking for a miracle cure for dry cracked skin, than Be Delicious Body Lotion is not for you.
The scent surprisingly stuck around for a few hours. It definitely had more staying power than the perfume, so I was pretty impressed with it.
In the end I kept the body lotion. I was going to give it away, but seeing that the last was longer than I imagined it would be, I had to keep it for myself; because I am greedy.
Pricing:
Now if you already know the Be Delicious scent, and you love it, than I definitely recommend the lotion to you, because it lasts a hell of a lot longer than the skimpy perfume does.
The pricing though is set at close to $45.00 for a 6.7 ounce tube, which is a bit high for perfumed lotion.
The choice though is up to you. Like I said though, if you love the scent, the body lotion will not disappoint.
Sean John, Unforgivable Woman Body Lotion

I'm a body lotion junkie. I have such an addicting problem that I have actually gone into my car, and found bags filled with lotions that I bought, yet forgot to take out of the car. It's like Christmas every time I clean out my car. I find oodles of goodies.
It's a sick habit, and I know I have a problem. I have a shopping problem in general, but dayum, it's just oh-so satisfying to my mind knowing I bought yet another one.
Sean John Unforgivable Woman Body Lotion however was given to me this past Christmas, and I actually got around to using it last night. Picking which body lotion to use is a very hard task for me, because I have so many of them, yet I have days when I feel like nothing I have is good enough to satisfy my nose palette. She's a picky snout. Piss her off, and she'll get all stuffy.
Now I know that this particular lotion was part of a 3 or 4 peice set, because normally Unforgivable Woman comes in a 6.7 ounce bottle. The one I was given is a mere 2 ouncer, so I know that the rest of the goods that came with this one were likely kept, or given to others. Regardless though, I'm happy that someone thought of me, so it's all good (I guess).
Scent:
I love the man version of Unforgivable, so I immediatley assumed I would love the scent that the girl version packed.
It's a decent scent, but not a scent I would likely buy for myself. It has a note of cucumbers, roses, and a very mild pinch of citrus. This is primarily what I smell anyway. Combined the Unforgivable Woman scent is fresh, yet at the same time a little spicy.
In ways it reminds me of old fashioned rose oil scents, which I hate, beause it smells like something a Granny would wear. Unforgiveable Woman though packed the perfect mix so it's only semi-borderline Granny. Only a real fragrance canissour would notice the grandma notes. My nose is a fragrance carnissour, so I noticed it immediatley.
The lotion itself is plain Jane white, with the usual lotion consistency. A little runny, but not to the point where it will come pouring out of the bottle like diahrrea.
I rubbed this one all over my body after a shower. I knew that it wouldn't moisturize my skn though, because most perfume made to lotions are only good for scent, and nothing more.
There was no exception when it came to this particular body lotion. It added scent, and nothing more.
The scent though surprisingly lingered around even into the next morning when I woke up. A powerful punch it packs, and thats definetly a good thing, especially if you already know and like this scent.
Overall it seems to be a pretty decent body lotion. The scent is not one of my favorites, and likely I wouldn't buy this one with my own money. However, like I stated, if you love the Unforgivable Woman scent, than this lotion is definetly wallet breaking worthy.
It comes to around $42.00 in most department stores like Macys, or Kohls. You can likely find it online for less, but from personal experince I will note that if you find it for under $20.00, most likely it's fake. So stick to the department stores if possible.
Must Have: Soap & Glory, The Righteous Butter!!!

Target is my hot spot for picking up beauty supplies or bath supplies.
My absolute favorite spot at Target is their isle of specialty bath and body products. I'm sure most of you know the isle, but are intimidated into thinking that this isle is the home of Targets higher end products. Although, I will admit that some of the things that reside in this isle are way over priced; others are nearly a steal.
Soap & Glory is a semi-new line of products that is exclusive only to Target, and it is by far my favorite line they have.
My most recent Soap & Glory pick up goes to Soap & Glory, The Righteous Butter. I picked it up for only $3.00 due to an after Christmas sale they had going on. Normally it comes to around $15.00. Even at that price though, I'd pick it up, because Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter is wonderful.
The scent is fantastic. It has a lovely powdery fragrance, mixed with what reminds me of fresh rain flowers, musk, and cream. A scent that is truly addicting.
What I love though about Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter is the fact that its scent is so long lasting. I easily can compare it to a fine expensive perfume, because the scent stays, and it stays long.
Normally when one thinks of body bvutter, they think of a very thick textured lotion. Every body butter I have ever used had always been really greasy, really thick, and many never really absorbed into my skin.
Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter though melts in your skin, and absorbs quickly, leaving no traces of grease, or residue to the skin. It is more like a lotion in consistency, only a little thicker.
Once absorbed, it leaves skin feeling soft, smellingfresh, and moisturized, but not over moisturized.
It's one that I highly recommend to those looking for a fast fix to dry skin, and for those who love long lasting feminine scents.
Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter is a pure winner in my opinion, and why I recommend it so highly.
