Apple Cinnamon: pink & neutral side by side shimmer. smells like red apples with a hint of cinnamon

Salted Caramel: bronze & white side by side shimmer. smells like caramel candy

Peanut Butter & Jelly: bronze & berry side by side shimmer. smells like peanut butter & grape

Bath & Body Works "Donut Collection" pocketbacs



This is the new "Donut Collection" of pocketbacs from Bath & Body Works. It includes 5 scents: Cinnamon Glazed Donut, Jelly Jam Donut, Raspberry Frost Donut, Blueberry Cake Donut, & Chocolate Creme Donut. I like this collection, but I think a couple of the scents could have been better. I do love the packaging on these, the pictures are bright & attention grabbing. Here is my opinion of the scents:

Cinnamon Glazed:  this is my favorite from the collection. you can smell the cinnamon & glaze. very sweet and delicious

Jelly Jam: smells just like a strawberry jam filled donut. very realistic. this is my 2nd favorite

Raspberry Frost: smells very sugary sweet, like frosting. but does not smell like a donut like the first 2.

Blueberry Cake: just smells like blueberry. this one does not smell like a donut either

Chocolate Creme: smells like "fake" chocolate. my least favorite from this collection

Be sure to check out these new pocketbacs & let me know what you all think of them.



Bath & Body Works "Lunchbox Collection" pocketbacs


Here is a brand new collection of pocketbacs from Bath & Body Works. It is called the "Lunchbox Collection".It includes 5 scents: Pb&J, Marshmallow Treat, Bag of Grapes, Juice Box, and Honey Pretzel.  I like this collection because it is something new & different, I also think the packaging is really cute.
Here is what I think of the scents:

PB&J: in the bottle this smells like bread & grape jelly, when you put it on, you start to smell the peanut butter. it smells pretty realistic

Marshmallow Treat: pleasant smell. does smell like marshmallows

Bag of Grapes: smells just like grape juice

Juice Box: i like this one alot. smells like fruit punch

Honey Pretzel: smells exactly like a salted pretzel, but it is too strong, I do not want my hands to smell like this


Overall, my favorites are Juice box and PB&. My least favorite is Honey Pretzel, yuck! Let me know what you all think of these, whats your favorite/least favorite.

Review: B&BW Coconuts

Coconut Pineapple: reminds me of the scent Coconut Vanilla. smells almost exactly like it when it dries down. when you first put it on, you can smell the pineapple a little bit, but it fades pretty quickly
Coconut Mango: I dont like this one. It smells kind of sour. scent is very light when it dries down
Coconut Passionfruit: I like this one alot. It has a sweet scent. It is fruity, and a little bit floral.lasting power is pretty good also.

This collection will release on May 23. I will probably purchase the passionfruit in full-size lotion and body mist. I will not be purchasing the pineapple (because it smells just like coconut vanilla, which I already have) or mango (because I do not like it at all).

Black Cherry: has an artificial cherry scent
Mango Mousse: smells good, fruity
Mentha Lip Shine in Butterscotch Pudding: weird combo, ok, got it on sale for $2.00
Temptations Cookie Dough: an old scent. very sticky. but smells good
Mentha Lip Shine in Cinnamint: smells great. like Big Red gum.
Cupcakes-Cookies n Cream: smells good. like Oreo cookies
Cupcakes-Red Velvet: nice color. smells like chocolate
Cupcakes-Strawberry: I do not like this scent. smells weird
Cupcakes-Lemon Glaze: love this one. smells yummy. reminds me of Lemon Vanilla

I Love Bling: nice frosty color. smells like toffee
Kissed by a Prince-melon: smells like cantaloupe. i like it
Princess in Training-orange: just orange. smells good
Royal Pucker-spiced berry: love this smell. very spicy, in a good way
Cherry Spumoni: smells just like chocolate. very nice color

MY TOP 5:
1. Secret Wonderland
2. Carried Away
3. Royal Pucker
4. Sangria
5. Cookies n Cream

*I love B&BW lipglosses. They smell good, nice colors, cute packaging, not too sticky. The only thing I am not so happy with is the prices. They range from $7-8. I think $5 a piece would be more reasonable. I mostly get them when they go on sale, or when they have the coupon out for a free lip item with any purchase. I only pay full price if its one I really want. I also buy some off ebay.

Bath & Body Works-new candle haul!

I am very excited about today's purchase from Bath & Body Works. I was not planning on going there, until I found out that they started the 2 for $20 candle sale today. This is a great sale because once you buy 2 candles, each additional one is $10. I was able to purchase 3 of the 14.5 oz. candles for just $20 by using my survey coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase.
My local store had 3 new scents out that are not officially released yet, I think they come out sometime next week. The scents are Mango Cilantro, Coconut Leaves, and Beachside. I purchased the Mango and Coconut. They smell really, really good. I also got Lemon Gelato, this one reminds me of Lemon Vanilla-my favorite discontinued scent ever!
I did a 2nd transaction to use my free travel size item coupon. Purchased a "Mom Rocks" pocketbac & matching pocketbac holder, got a Orange Sapphire body lotion for free. So, I ending up spending around $24 w/tax total. Not bad.

While shopping around I noticed some new items including:
-1.6 oz candles in "boardwalk" scents-salty caramel & lemon gelato. No cotton candy though, which is weird
-"Ice Cream collection" lip glosses. 4 scents-Cherry Spumoni, Banana Split, Tart Berry Yogurt, Strawberry Parfait
-"Into the Wild " lip glosses-2 scents-guava & berry
-"4th of July" antibacterial handsoaps in 2 scents-Apple Pie, Blueberry pancakes. and pocketbacs in the same 2 scents, along with S'mores
-Democrat & Republican pocketbacs. STRANGE
-Antibacterial hand soaps in Fresh Lavender & Eucalyptus Mint
