Product Review - Bath & Body Works - White Citrus

Wow - Bath & Body Works knows how to keep me coming back for more. How dare they make me change my favorite scents so often.

Well, Gabby who represents Bath and Body Works, forwarded me White Citrus. This is part of their Signature Collection. Once again, thank you Gabby for checking my blog! Its great to have the companies pay attention to the consumers.

To give you an idea of what this smells like - this is what is listed for the scent: crisp lemon, grapefruit, waterlily and ginger flower.

What I have to add: is this is a must have!! White Citrus is my latest love!!

This is a crisp, light, and fresh fragrance. This is such a smooth smelling scent that you can wear it everywhere - for work or for an evening out.

It is the perfect scent because its not overwhelming but I still can feel like I'm wearing a scent.

The Bath & Body Works scents are my absolute favorite because it actually puts me in a mood for the whole day. When I drag myself out of bed in the morning, I use the shower gel which is a great mix of suds and scent and follow with a light lotion. Like I've mentioned in previous reviews - it enhances my mood instantly and peps me up. I have no problem running out the door.

Even though I lead a pretty routine day, these scents keep me going all day. And without having to sneak in the ladies' room and reapplying like I've done with other brands.

Also, in most workplaces - it is frowned upon to come to work heavily scented. These scents are enhancing and not 'loud' in the least.

What I love about B&BW products is that you can buy your scents for many purposes. They have smaller sizes which are great for traveling or carrying in your purse, larger sizes for home use, shower gels, anti-bacterial soap, room sprays, and diffusers.

So if you are looking for a light crisp scent, need to get a gift for a grad or bridal shower gift - do yourself a favor and check out White Citrus!

Product Review - Bath & Body Works - Sweet Pea

This is my second favorite scent from Bath and Body Works.

Its a light, sweet and fragrant. I love that it its not overpowering.

The shower gel is great and offers a full lathering. Just top it off with the lotion and you are smelling wonderful.

Now with the Bath and Body Works shower gels and lotions -- I have to admit -- I buy them just for the fragrances. If you are looking to combat dry skin, you will have to add another product to your regimen.

I have very dry skin and I just alternate between a heavy lotion or oil on some days and on others when I need to feel a boost, I wear my Bath and Body Works products.

I just use the scented shower gel, lotions and hand sanitizers of the same scent. I don't think I have to overdo it with any additional products.

In case you don't know what to get for Mother's Day, try a stroll in BB&W. Remember to keep a close eye on what you are spending because its too easy to just get a basket and keep adding items.

Product Review - Bath and Body Works - Japanese Cherry Blossom

I was in the mall a few weeks ago and wandering into Bath & Body Works. I had stopped in there earlier to get some lip gloss and had a coupon.

Now, I make this very clear - I am cheap. I do not enjoy parting very easily with my $$ for stuff that is overpriced.

In the past I have received Bath and Body Works lotions as gifts and thought that they were thick, smelled too strong, too sweet and weren't great moisturizers.

So the salesgirl comes up to me and tells me to try this - its the Japanese Cherry Blossom fragrance. I thought - yeah, ok ...

But then the smell stuck to me.

So I went back and had to have the lotion, soap and hand gel.

I love this scent!!!

Now I may be late to the party on this scent - but I am hooked.

The soap is light and full of suds. It is a great wash and doesn't leave a film. I feel really sweet and feminine after showering and applying the lotion afterward.

The lotion goes on smooth and does a good job of moisturizing my skin (much better than I remember of their lotions in the past). Now this isn't a long lasting lotion - but I can work with it. And most of all the smell, I love it.

So if you have a chance to get yourself a nice treat - stop by Bath & Body Works or order online. This is a great fragrance!
