Bath and Body Works Haul and Review
Yes!! I know... i'm quite outdated!!
I've always been this way!! When the entire world raves about something...two ten or more years later i would rave about the exact same thing shamelessly like i'm doing now!! I'm the 'the glass is half-full kind'...so here we are with these lovely lovely products that my dearest friend sent me over to India!!
She's such a sweetheart and I'm so proud of her!! :)
I've heard tons and tons of beauty bloggers talk about bath and body works and i've always always wanted to get my hands on them for a long long time!
Finally now that i got an opportunity to get my hands on them i was quite confused about which scent i should go for!! Choices peoples... Choices...!! Immediately homegirl googled and found three topmost scents loved by people...more like 'the most popular ones' and i landed with the following :
When compared to Victoria's secret body mist it is very very mild and its staying power is also very less!! However the faint smell of vanilla stays for quite a while!!
Winter Candy Apple ( Mist) :
This one's... HANDS DOWN MY FAVOURITE!! To begin with...talk about fancy names this one hits the right note!!! I mean... the name itself was too fancy for it to grab all of my attention. Coming to the scent itself ...here's a little story... When i was a little kid we as a family were gifted with a candle for Christmas with the exact same smell n i used to love it then!! It brought back soo many fond memories when i took a whiff!! It smells like apple and Christmas and the woods and bubble gum and winter and freshness and garden and everything NICE!! Yes!! I love it !!
But the staying power is low with this one as well!!
If ever you get to go to bath and body works then this is a must in any form...mist, body cream, body wash, hand cream...The choice is all yours!! But it is a MUST!
Vanilla Bean Noel (Body Cream) :
This one's my least favourite! Its okay-ish!
Nothing mush to say cos it has the combined flavour of vanilla and honey!But it is strong!! i don't really know how to explain this!! ( Check out the post script!)
It smells good... Its the texture that puts me off i guess!! Probably as a mist it might smell good??!! But i really would'nt recommend this one!
Oh!! Btw.. it is really moisturising and keeps the skin moisturised all day long!! And it's a winner as a moisturiser as it is not sticky!! C'mon i got to give that to this one!!Although the scent in itself is not that great but as a cream it does its job amazingly!!
Raspberry sweet and mint (Body lotion) :
I love this one too!! My second favourite!!! It smells soooooooooo good!! Just like sweet raspberry!! I could'nt really smell the mint though!! But its fruity and the all girls would love it!! This comes a little oily after applying provided the weather! The hotter it is the oilier it gets!
So here's my Conclusion :

Did u notice how i ended up with the vanillas and apples... Baker's instict i guess!! :P
I wanted to review on each of them individually:
All of them come for the holiday season.
Warm Vanilla Sugar (Mist) :
It is very sweet and smells like vanilla...nothing so fancy...I'll rewrite that by saying Vanilla in itself is super-fancy but this one reminds me of talcum powder!!
Its just sweet and the smell lingers around for a while and then evaporates after a while.... but what can you expect from a body mist....Aye?When compared to Victoria's secret body mist it is very very mild and its staying power is also very less!! However the faint smell of vanilla stays for quite a while!!

So here's my Conclusion :

- Winter Candy Apple - Fragrance - 5/5
- Vanilla Bean Noel- Fragrance - 2.5/5 ,
- Raspberry sweet and mint - Fragrance- 5/5
That's all folks!!
