LOOT - Bath and Body Works, Crabtree & Evelyn

It was my first time trying products from Bath & Body Works (yes, because I still live in the Stone Age, haha). My boyfriend bought me all the goodies because I got into another Bachelors program at school and he thought I deserved some presents for my hard work. He's so nice!

B&BW:
Triple Moisture Body Cream: Cucumber melon (fresh and light), Mango Mandarin (tropical, fruity, yummy... oh darn it's my favorite. Definitely going back to get the body mist/perfume), Japanese cherry blossoms (sweet... loved it at first but it's beginning to get sickening and too heavy for my taste)
-I adore the consistency/thickness of these creams! I feel like I've neglected my skin to the point of no return and regular lotion just would not cut it. After a week of continuously using these my skin is all glowy and radiant. I usually put these on after my shower to lock in the moisture, and I rotate the scents.

Slatkin and Co. mini candles: Pineapple Mango (*my favorite out of the 4), Passion Flower, Island nectar, Caribbean Escape (not shown)
-Small but they seem like they burn for a very long time. Burns cleanly and one mini is enough to fill my room with an awesome scent.

Pocketbac: White Citrus, Japanese cherry blossoms, Watermelon (not shown)
-I had to get these after my classmate used one that smelled sooo good. I'm so used to the alcohol smell of antibacterial so these just wowed me. Watermelon is the best! Too bad I gave it away :(

C&E
Rosewater Hand Therapy (far left)
C&E hand lotions are definitely a splurge at $13 for a small tube. After my first time using these, I have not been able to go back to any drugstore lotion. They absorb quickly, are nongreasy, and leave your hand silky (even silkier if used with the hand treatment/scrub). I thought I'd get the Rosewater (smells exactly like roses) instead of the usual Gardeners scent. The packaging is in a metal tube which looks great but can be a bit difficult to get the product out when you're running low; you have to be careful that other things in your bag don't squish the tube or you will end up with a mess =/ I wish C&E came out with more scents because I've tried them all...

Summerhill body lotion
I got this lotion in a mini size bag of 5 products or so for $8 a couple of years back. C&E has great deals, travel sizes you can try out, customer appreciation days, and $10 off coupons periodically :) When we went into the store, I was surprised my bf remembered I had used this. This scent made him all nostalgic so he got me the full size bottle. The consistency is not too watery and moisturizes darn well (It has to. I mean $20 for a bottle of lotion?!). Silky smooth, anyone?

Lily body lotion
This is part of the new revamped line at C&E. It's a light lotion that also leaves skin nice and smooth. The scent lasts for awhile and is noticeable... almost like a perfume. I would not slather myself in this just because I'm afraid it might be a tad overpowering.

That's a wrap of this skincare edition =P
