Bath & Body Works Berry Vanilla Fragrance Mist Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Berry Vanilla Fragrance MistThe Bath & Body Works Berry Vanilla Fragrance Mist was the first Bath & Body Works product I ever bought.

A couple of my co-workers were raving about this scent so often, it was beginning to sound like a drug addiction. And I gave into peer pressure. So I ran around the back of the office building away from onlookers and sprayed myself with this.

Funny thing. Despite me having a strong aversion to the Berry Vanilla scent from the Summer Vanillas Collection, I still managed to get hooked onto Bath & Body Works in general. What can I say? I believe in second chances.

How good a scent smells is totally subjective as you know, so even though I really dislike it, you may be over the moon for it.

Think the Bath And Body Works Berry Vanilla body splash is for you? Let me describe it, and you be the judge. Continue reading

If you’re someone who doesn’t like flirty floral fragrances or cotton-candy sweet smells, then you might quite enjoy Bath & Body Works Rainkissed Leaves Body Lotion. It has a refreshing natural scent that is very noticeable without being overpowering. I simply love it! I love it so much that I have “several” bottles.

I’ve been putting off reviewing Bath & Body Works Rainkissed Leaves Body Lotion for quite some time now. Even though I really love this scent, I just didn’t want to reveal my beautiful dark twisted secret. But I’m ready to bare all, so come take a look at why I love this product! Continue reading

Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme Review & Pictures

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle CremeMy hands get dry during this time of year, and my cuticles are no exception. Oftentimes I’m just far too lazy to use cuticle cream, but when I remember, I reach for the Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme that my friend bought me a couple of years ago in a kit with other goodies.

It smells divine, it’s small and easy to take with you, and it’s made with natural ingredients. And to put the cherry on top, it isn’t tested on animals.

This lemon cuticle cream is the first one I’ve tried, but I love it so much that I don’t have any desire to check out another. Continue reading

The Body Shop Satsuma Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer Review & Pictures

Many thanks to the person who invented waterless hand sanitizers. While these do not replace soap and hot water, they make me feel better about the cleanliness of my hands…and I especially love them when they are scented.

Today, I bring you a review of The Body Shop Satsuma Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer. The Body Shop only has 6 scents for their anti-bacs (compare that to hundreds from Bath & Body Works!), and I think the Satsuma one is the best-smelling! But the fragrance aside, is it a good buy? Continue reading

Britney Spears Circus Fantasy Review & Pictures

Britney Spears Circus Fantasy Perfume smallerOkay, so I’m not a Britney Spears fan, but I’ve been blasting her latest single, Hold It Against Me, more times than I care to admit. There’s something about that song that makes me smile. (Stop laughing!)

Then when I was looking around at Shoppers Drug Mart, I saw that the large bottle of Britney Spears Circus Fantasy was on a crazy sale for $19.99 CAD! It was way too tempting to walk out of the store empty-handed.

If you’ve been following Swatch And Learn, you may know that I’m in complete lust with the original Britney Spears Fantasy perfume. And because I wore that one daily, I was curious to compare it with the Circus Fantasy fragrance.

How does it stack up to the original Fantasy fragrance? Is Britney Spears Circus Fantasy something to sniff at? Come find out! Continue reading

Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon HandiBac Anti-Bacterial Hand Foam Review & Pictures

** This post was written by Fiona. She no longer blogs for Swatch And Learn. However, Mary still continues to blog and will be happy to reply to your comment. **

I’m not a germaphobe! There. I got that out of my system. I do not, however, like the idea of getting sick from germs and viruses – even if it’s just the common cold. That’s why I always carry around some sort of anti-bacterial product with me.

I’m actually using several anti-bacs right now – one for work, one at home and one in my purse. OK, so maybe I am starting to sound like a germaphobe… but these products are so convenient, and most of them smell great (aside from Purell). Since the flu’s alive and kickin’, I thought I’d review the one I currently use at work: Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon HandiBac Anti-Bacterial Hand Foam. Continue reading
