I 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!

Whoa – 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 the 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! 😉

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!

During 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 the 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 was this love, too? You’re about to find out!

Here I go reviewing yet another Bath & Body Works! Haha, if they didn’t have so many amazing sales for multiple purchases, maybe I wouldn’t be quite as inclined to try so many. 😉

This time, I gave a new-to-me scent a go: the Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap!

It’s one of Bath & Body Works’ permanent fragrances, so you shouldn’t have any trouble locating it.

I thought that I’d enjoy it because I really love not only eating crisp, fresh cucumbers, but the smell is refreshing and light.

But what did I think of it in the form of hand soap?

The Bath & Body Works Raspberry Pink Peony Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap doesn’t have the kind of scent that I typically am drawn to.

But, last month or so ago when I was shopping with my friend, I pretty much smelled everything to give it a fair chance.

Although raspberry and florals are notes that I usually don’t like in scented products, I was surprised when this one appealed to me.

Haha, also, note how the liquid and part of the picture is pink. What the heck is up with me lately? I’m so not a pink person…not just when it comes to nail polish, but in general, too! Yet lately I’ve been showing off a lot of pink things.

(Little factoid: I think the reason why I’m not a pink person today is because when I was in elementary school, I was an obsessed-pink lover. Up until grade 3, pretty much all of my outfits were predominantly pink, and when given a colour choice, I’d opt for pink. Must’ve got it out of my system. Although my love of neon-pink polish is cropping up…)

While citrus perfumes are totally not my thing, when it comes to shower gel or hand soap, a citrus scent makes my day.

Not only is it refreshing and bright, but it’s a nice ‘wake up’ that I can take in small doses.

The Bath & Body Works Malibu Citrus Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap smells great!

And even if you’re like me and aren’t the biggest citrus fan in general, give this one a shot. You may just end up stockpiling it after trying it for the first time. 😉
