Hello Yellow Hand Soap Haul: 7 SCENTsational products!

*Excuse those corny and almost annoying apples. My SD card deleted the photos without them. Sigh...


Let's talk hand washing! The more delightful the scent, the more often I cleanse my paws. And when Bath and Body Works' Hello, Yellow! sale comes rolling around, all the females in my family stock up.Wait... I wonder why they chose yellow? Hm.. We have a vast amount lying around the house, but the $3.00 price tag seemed to lure my mom and I in.

The most recent trip resulted in an adoption of eight new SCENTsational soaps: (In picture from left) Cucumber Melon Moisturizing Hand Soap, Dancing Waters Anti-bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Warm Vanilla Sugar Anti-bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Fresh Market Apple Moisturizing Hand Soap, Cucumber Melon Anti-bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Caribbean Escape Moisturizing Hand Soap, and Cucumber Melon Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap.

Caramel Apples for Braces: BBW Caramel Apple Deep Cleansing Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap!

It's not technically, mine, but it's in the house (good enough!). Today, my mother came hope with a bag filled to the brim with Bath and Body Works products. Half of these items were luscious anti-bacterial hand soaps, and the rest were for her personal use:( . But I forgive her (:P), because the succulent scent of the Caramel Apple Hand Soap made up for her "selfishness".


PRICE: Currently $2.75 for 237ml

The Claim:This powerful germ-killing hand soap is enriched with an exclusive moisturizing blend to help hydrate and soften skin as powerful ingredients leave dirty hands clean and lightly scented with a mouthwatering blend of golden apple and creamy caramel.

The Verdict: This hand soap really does get the job done. Hands are left clean and delicately scented. I'm not really seeing a huge difference in the hydration levels of my hands, but slathering on some BBW Warm Vanilla Sugar Hand Cream sure does the trick! The scent is mouth-watering: vanilla-y cinnamon and tart apples. Ah..So good:)


I'm truly very thankful for this product. I got braces in June, and caramel apples must be avoided at all costs. It's rather hard to resist their goodness, so luckily this product was launched. It's almost..better than real ones. Oh, what am I kidding! Nothing tops the chewy caramel and  sour taste of crisp green apples. But this is the closest zero calorie item to them.


I'm in a car, so I really must end this post and skip the PROS and CONS. Apologies, reader. You will also get images later, I have yet to take pictures of the hand soap.

XOXO,
Gabby

Living a Charmed Life...!

Yay! Yesterday, Bath and Body Works made their newest fragrance "Charmed Life" available online and in-store. Back in August, they had this event where you could score a free full-sized bottle lotion, and I most definitely took advantage of it. My bestie Ann (http://www.not-justapretty-face.blogspot.com/) got me that, and so did my parents. I'm currently applying the lotion as we speak. I have no bad thoughts on the scent. It's fresh, but it's not too fruity for fall. You mostly detect vanilla, but occasionally you can pick up hints of delicious pear and guava. The body lotion formula we all know and love didn't fall short of my expectations. Just like its family, it absorbed quickly and hydrated intensley. The packaging is a little corny, but I've grown fond of it. I can't get over how gorgeous and modern the perfume bottle is, though! The contrasts between all the colors just make me happy! Anyways, I've been a huge fan of the Body Creams, Body Mists, and Shower Gels, so I doubt the collection will disappoint. Where would a BBW collection be without a gloss? Of course, they created a Charmed Life Gloss that claims to give you a frosty shine with a delicious flavoring of vanilla, pear, and guava. I can't wait to get my hands on this collection and use up my coupon!



Oh, and BBW is already dabbling with their new scent, Be Enchanted. I don't know about you, but instead of clean, appealing, and simple names like "White Citrus" and "Warm Vanilla Sugar", BBW is making everything based off of a fairytale. Anywho, you can try their new fragrance, a blend of frosted florals and sparkling pomegranate  for $1!

I have some homework to do, but I just wanted to tell you about the contest! With just a few pieces of information, you can be entered to win $500 worth of Bath and Body Works Holiday Products! Now, how cool is that? It requires no money whatsoever. This is my mindset when it comes to raffle-esque things: "Somebody's got to win, so why can't it be you?!". It's true. Somebody has to win, so why not you? If you don't win, Oh well. You can just buy some. Oh, the reason I am so obsessed with winning is because my school's fundraiser is tomorrow. There is a lot of free stuff associated with this, and I LOVE MY FREE STUFF! :D
