Revlon Pedi-EXPERT Shower Pedicure Kit Review & Pictures

Alert: Talk of feet in this post (not in details though, in case they gross you out).

Ever since I started working out rigorously at the gym, I’ve been annoyed with how rough the bottoms of my feet were. That’s why I got the Revlon Pedi-EXPERT Shower Pedicure Kit…hoping it can help reveal softer skin.

A glamorous product, it is not. Practical, it is. But while I do find it useful, I don’t think it’s an incredible product that deserves to be in everyone’s shower caddy. Why? Continue reading

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel PocketBac Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works PocketBac Vanilla Bean NoelWe’ve all been in icky situations where we touched something gross on the subway or we just need to clean our hands when we’re out in public. But there may not be a restroom nearby.

Here’s where the Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel PocketBac comes in. This guy may be small, but he packs a punch and kills germs without water.

I always like to carry around a great-scented Bath & Body Works PocketBac in my purse wherever I go because you never know when you’ll need a quick fix. (And it’s also a plus that it smells nice, too!)

Today I’ll be continuing in my little Vanilla Bean Noel series and reviewing this inexpensive hand sanitizer that isn’t drying and is the perfect travel-friendly size.

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Triple Moisture Body Cream Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Triple Moisture Body CreamSweet-smelling food scents are my favorite. I’m not particularly a girly girl, but the fragrances I find myself drawn to the most are caramel vanillas. There’s just something so comforting and cozy about them.

Naturally, I had a long-time affair with the Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Triple Moisture Body Cream! If you do a little digging around the Swatch And Learn blog, you’ll see that my love for the scent started 2 months ago.

Actually, I played the field – got almost everything from the Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Collection! Went a little crazy, but hey, this scent’s only around once a year during the holidays. Gotta stock up while you still can, right? Continue reading

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Body Lotion Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Body LotionIf you’ve been around the Swatch And Learn blog for a while, you should know that I’m completely taken with the Holiday Traditions scent, Vanilla Bean Noel by Bath & Body Works.

My tired wallet lost more weight when I purchased back-ups of the scary collection I originally posted back in early November.

Although it looks like I won’t be able to write about each and every product before Christmas, I’m determined to eventually finish reviewing them all.

Today, I’ll be reviewing the Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Body Lotion! Continue reading
