Bath & Body Works Tropical Sorbet Float Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review & Pictures

Bath-Body-Works-Tropical-Sorbet-Float-Hand-Soap-Review-PicturesBefore summer’s officially over, I had to review theĀ Bath & Body Works Tropical Sorbet Float Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap. *Gasps for air* Long name!

(This was one of the soaps that I mentioned in my Haul of Shame post not long ago.)

I haven’t heard much about this scent, so imagine my surprise when I randomly sniffed this one and was smitten!

It’s always great to have pleasant surprises like this. Haha, unfortunately, I usually have bad luck and smell things in that store that make my nose crinkle.

My nose is filing a case against me as I type this. šŸ˜‰

Bath & Body Works Orchard Walk Gentle Anti-Bacterial Foaming Hand Soap Review & Pictures

Bath-Body-Works-Orchard-Walk-Hand-Soap-Review-PicturesWhen the Bath & Body Works store near me had an amazing 8 for $25 CAD sale that I blogged about before in my Haul of Shame post, I couldn’t resist adding theĀ BathĀ & Body Works Orchard Walk Gentle Anti-Bacterial Foaming Hand Soap to my shopping bag.

(One of my dear readers, Becca, asked me to review this soap first. I was more than happy to oblige!)

Despite it being green, this packaging isn’t usually what I gravitate toward when I go for my usual go-in-and-smell-everything trips to Bath & Body Works. (Normally anything with a bakery picture gets my attention.)

But, since this was a scent that I think is new, I didn’t want to overlook it in case it was something amazing. And thank goodness I gave it a try.

Find out why I recommend this hand soap!

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel for Face and Eyes Review & Pictures

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel for Face and Eyes Review & PicturesYou may remember that I received a deluxe sample of theĀ Philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel for Face and EyesĀ in my Loose Button June 2012 Luxe Box (that I previously reviewed).

I was very excited to try it out. In fact, as you can see by my photograph that I ended up using quite a bit of the product (about a third) before taking pictures of it. Oops!

(Hehe, as a beauty blogger, you’re ‘supposed to’ take photos of brand-new productsĀ and thenĀ use them…but sometimes when you get really excited, you just can’t wait to bust them open!) šŸ˜‰

So what did I think of the foaming gel version of my favourite facial cleanser? There’s only one way to find out!

Bath & Body Works Peach Bellini Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review & Pictures

Bath-Body-Works-Peach-Bellini-Anti-Bacterial-Deep-Cleansing-Hand-Soap-Review-Pictures smallerI hadn’t heard much of the Bath & Body Works Peach Bellini Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, but I gave it a try because a quick sniff in the store made me fall for it.

And I only came to love it more when I used it at home. This soap smells like a delicious drink! I couldn’t get over how yummy this smells!

Every single time I washed my hands with this, I wished that I could have a refreshing beverage that tasted as good as this smelled!

I’m not usually the biggest peach-scent lover, but because this is mixed with apricot and mango, I think it smells incredible.

This is a soap that’s worth checking out if you like fruity and/or cocktail-scented soaps!

Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Watermelon Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Review & PicturesWhoa – I can’t believe it’s already August! Can you?

I realize that a lot of you are like me and realllllly love nail polish, but it’s always good to switch it up every now and then. The last thing I want to do is to get burned out…

Today I decided to review theĀ Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Watermelon Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap! Wow, what a mouthful – some of the rind is stuck in my teeth! šŸ˜‰

While I don’t try out tons of new perfumes, I do enjoy testing out lots of different scented hand soaps because it makes a boring thing like washing your hands way more fun and enjoyable.

As a kid, I grew up in a household where nearly everything wasn’t scented, so I must be making up for lost time!

Bath & Body Works Pearberry Shower Gel Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Pearberry Shower Gel Review & PicturesDuring the Bath & Body Works’ Semi-Annual Sale, I definitely did some damage. It’s hard to pass up a really good deal on stuff that you can use on a daily basis.

One of the things I got was theĀ Bath & Body Works Pearberry Shower Gel!

I use shower gel exclusively with a fluffy mesh sponge. I could never go back to using bar soap like I did when I was a child!

You may remember that I reviewed the hand soap in the same scent not long ago. It was love. But wasĀ thisĀ love, too? You’re about to find out!

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 Light Review, Pictures & Swatches

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 Light Review, Swatches & Pictures smallerThe name Smashbox makes me laugh. I always picture some Luddite with a mallet going ballistic on a desktop computer.

Then my mind wanders over to Smashmouth. Remember that musical group from back in the day? “All Star” and “Walkin’ on the Sun” were huge. Now I hardly ever hear their songs played…and when I do, I always laugh.

Back to the star of this post!

TheĀ Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35Ā is the very first beauty balm that I’ve ever tried. And I’ve been curious about beauty balms for a long time.

I decided to get this one because it had a colour that closely matched my skin, and even though I do wear a separate sunscreen, I want my BB cream to always have SPF for added protection.
