April 2021 Empties!

 

April is almost half way over! Honestly, I am not sure what I am counting down for but, the year has gone by incredibly quick. I felt like I barely did or accomplished anything for the last year and half....I can't even say I been finishing up things. Well, this month I finished a few things but, not much.

I bought a few of these aromatherapy bottles from BBW and I am really loving them. The bottles are gorgeous and they smell amazing. I love putting on this cream at night and just breathing it in. I finished a Juice Beauty pore refining mask and it was okay. I am not sure it really did much but, it didn't irritate my skin which was nice.

I love the nose strips from Me Factory. They were easy to use and I loved seeing all the yuckies on the nose strip afterwards. I been trying to do these once every month. I definitely noticed a difference on my nose. I tried the SF lip mask and that was just okay. I am not sure if the gold pattern had any effect.

Did you finish something that you loved? Anything you are planning to rebuy?

BBW Black Cherry Merlot Hand Cream

I love this scent from Bath Body Works! I have the body wash, the hand soap, and now the hand cream. The scent is a blend of dark cherry, black raspberry, and merlot. The shea butter lotion leaves skin soft and hydrated. The scent of the lotion does stay on long after applying. If you are sensitive to scents, then this hand cream isn't for you.

BBW Shower Jelly with Aloe - Fresh Sea Salt Mango

I remembered when I first came across the new "jelly" soap trend and was so excited to try it. I have seen a few where the jelly had a "solid" form and you had to use the whole piece to wash. However, I found the jelly to break off bits and pieces during use.

When I first opened this tub, I was perplexed on how to use this product because it wasn't solid enough to use the entire thing at once. I shortly realized that you scoop out a small amount and apply it to your loofah/washcloth. Once you work the jelly in your shower implement, it provides a generous lather you can use. The jelly does have a nice fresh scent that lingers after you wash off. I didn't find the shower jelly to be very moisturizing and still had to follow up with lotion afterward.

BBW Aromatherapy Sleep Lavender and Cedarwood 24hr Moisture Butter

The cream is scented with lavender and cedarwood essential oils which promotes relaxation and sleep. The cream is enriched with mango seed butter, cocoa seed butter that helps keep skin hydrated. The thick cream was easy to spread but, it did leave my skin slightly greasy.Overall, it's an indulgent treat  to be included in my nighttime ritual.

BBW Sweater Weather Candle

Ah, the Fall, my most favorite season -- the season of cozy sweaters, warming hot chocolate, soul replenishing fireplaces surrounded by family and the beginning of the eating season. Right around middle of Summer, I always have an ache for Fall and while I can't control the season, I can reach for this lovely Fall inspired candle. It has scents of sage, Juniper Berry, Eucalyptus and wood. And all the memories of family, fun and eating flood my sense.

BBW Cool Amazon Rain Shea and Vitamin Showergel

The sweet scented body wash is packed with aloe vera, vitamin E and shea butter to leave skin soft and smooth. The creamy body wash gives ample lather. It has a soft sweet scent that lingers on the skin for an hour.

BBW White Barn Bergamot Waters

I have a weakness for candles. Candles are my downfall. Especially when they are on sale. I have two cabinets of candles but when I saw this in BBW, I NEEDED it in my life. The candle is scented of sugar citrus, sandalwood and blue Bergamot waters. The candle has a burn time of 25 - 45 hours and has even burn thanks to a patented blend of vegetable wax and lead free wicks. A favorite and definite in my rotation.

BBW Carried Away Shea and Vitamin E Shower Gel

The sweet scented body wash has scents of raspberries, jasmine, and vanilla. The body wash has a generous lather has is enriched with aloe, vitamin E and shea butter.

• Top Notes: Italian Bergamot, Lemon Zest, Mandarin Orange, Juicy Pear Nectar, Lush Raspberry
• Mid Notes: Purple Freesia, White Tuberose, White Jasmine, Soft Violet Petals
• Dry Notes: Creamy Sandalwood, Whipped Vanilla, Light Musk

BBW Beautiful Day Shea Enriched Shower Gel

The fruity scented body wash is enriched with aloe, shea butter, and vitamin E. The body wash provided a generous lather and left my skin delicately scented. However, I didn’t notice my skin being hydrated and I had to follow up with lotion after my shower.

• Top Notes: Sun-kissed Apple, Dewy Pear, Sparkling Cassis
• Mid Notes: Wild Daisies, Lily of the Valley, Fresh Pink Peony
• Dry Notes: White Peach, Blonde Woods

BBW Aromatherapy Stress Relief Eucalyptus Tea Body Wash and Foam Bath

The soothing eucalyptus scented body wash is packed skin conditioners to soothe and nourish skin. The eucalyptus and tea essential oils help relieve stress and uncertainty while promoting calmness.  I have tried the other stress relief body wash and they both smell almost the same. The soothing body wash provided a generous lather and a soothing scent. Unfortunately, the body wash didn’t  moisturize my skin.

BBW Bourbon Strawberry and Vanilla Shea and Fruit Body Souffle

A shea butter enriched body cream that is scented of bourbon vanilla, garden strawberry and apricot nectar.  The body souffle is creamy and left my skin delicately scented.  The scent is a bit heavy but it wears down after a couple of minutes. I wouldn’t call it a favorite but I might get it again if it is on sale.
