New Soap and Glory iFoam Ultra Creamy Body Wash Review

Hey ladies, Soap & Glory has added a slew of brand new products to their line of already wonderful bath and body products! You can find the new products exclusively at Target!

I wanted to share my views with you regarding some of my personal buys, because as we know some of Soap & Glory's products can be a bit pricey. Although I rarely run into anything I dislike from their line, I wanted to share my reviews with you so you know which ones are worth the splurge, and which ones you should probably just leave on the shelf.

One of my latest buys goes to New Soap & Glory iFoam Ultra Creamy Body Wash.

It comes in a cute stand up squeeze tube, with an overall color of what looks like orange cream. The wash inside of the bottle is that color though, it appears that the bottle itself is see through, as you can see in my photo.

Now the body wash came to $9.99 which is pretty much the going rate for body wash these days. It's a bit pricey though, regardless.

I was initially going to leave it behind due to the price, but after I flipped up the click cap and gave it a sniff, I knew there was no way I was going to leave it behind!

Scent:

The scent that greeted me was a mixture of delicious citrusness! It smells like orange, cream, and grapefruit. Like one of those delicious orange cream pops I used to eat as a kid. Only New Soap & Glory iFoam Ultra Creamy Body Wash has a sweeter summery tone to it.

At any rate, the scent is uplifting, refreshing and addicting.

Use:

In the shower I tipped the bottle over and immediately the wash came sliding out. It was an odd texture that looked more like lotion than it did a body wash. It has a runny consistency to it, but the moment I began to work it into a lather in my bath loofah, I was surprised at how quickly it transformed into a creamy foamy wash.

The scent filled the bathroom was well, and it was a pretty delightful experience. It left my skin feeling soft, silky, and clean.

Unfortunately though all of these wonderful silky benefits that took place in the shower vanished the moment I dried up with my towel.

Overall:

It smells great, and is a wonderful in shower experience. I still recommend the product because it really is refreshing when you use it. I personally would have liked for the silkening feeling to have lasted, and for the scent to last after getting out as well. Like I said though it's primarily an in shower experience. It's still good, but could have been better.

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.

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.

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.
