Bath and Body Works PocketBacs


For years, I have been ignoring these on eBay when I am shopping online. I didn't know I'll get hooked!

I guess I was thinking that it doesn't make sense for you to buy a sanitizer and pay for the holder separately. Anyway, after seeing it up close, cutely dangling from some women's bags, I bought one, then two, then three until I felt I want to have more! I know its ridiculous because I don't have that many bags to hang these on. But because they're cute and smells super good, I don't think I'm wasting money here. Aside from keeping my hands germ free, it actually makes sense to hang this on your bag for easy access than fumble for a bottle of hand sanitizer in your bag which sometimes could take ages. Also, I now realized why there are a lot of different holder colors, because you can mix or match it to your sanitizer's bottle shade or your bag.

I have noticed that BBW  had released a lot of scents for their pocketbac products. Aside from their regular scents, recent releases were the limited edition sets I LOVE, CUPCAKES, ST. PATRICK'S DAY, HALLOWEEN, & CHRISTMAS.



So far for now I've got 10.(see picture). Will probably buy more when I ran out of these, will try more scents too. And the holders- I might buy more one at a time especially the ones with rhinestones and the flowers :-)

Victoria's Secret Lost in Fantasy



I never paid attention to this scent- not until I smelled it from the store. I thought, wow its smells good! Its fruity sweet! I didn't purchase it then but I did remember its name- and included it on my to buy list. So when my friend's friend who shopped in a VS store in the US started a business selling VS body mists including this one- I bought it right away.


First sprays: I thought this was a waste of money. I couldn't smell the scent in me! Sure its sweet, but I cant smell the other notes - 3 minutes of walking from home to church and its gone!

I gave it another shot- since its a body mist-this time I sprayed generously.
It worked! I got the scent effect I want to achieve. The good thing about it - the dry down smells like the scented stationeries I used to collect when I was a child :-)

Also, after spraying this on before leaving for work and then I kiss and hug my boys, they always say I smell good!

This may be Victoria Secret's replacement to their discontinued Forbidden Fantasy. The old packaging doesn't indicate the notes of the scent per bottle. FF's liquid color is the same- light green, and their smell is almost close, my clue is they both smell like my stationeries.


My verdict: this is a nice, refreshing perk me up scent. If you're into fruity scents, this is for you as its top note is Passion fruit.

Sally Hansen Mineral Lip Treatment in Ruby


I don't know if this has been discontinued but I got this on eBay for Php110. Looove it!
Don't be deceived because the Ruby color shade is just right, not the shocking pink type for teens.

Anyways, this has staying power, instantly provides glam on your lips, no chunky glitters-- and the taste! Think CO Bigelow mentha lip shine, but a milder and sweeter version.

I can't say its super soft on the lips but because of its staying power- it definitely won't let your lips down- no dryness, no cracks. A really good buy!

More Lip Balms....


CRABTREE AND EVELYN ALOE VERA LIP BALM
I have high expectations for this lip balm because of its brand name but it didn't become a favorite of mine. It's currently sitting inside my drawer-- inside a lipstick case. Anyway, so far its just an OK lip balm, its consistency is thin when applied to lips unlike Carmex. It has a mild scent, no annoying taste and the good thing is it makes lips soft and a little shiny.

You can get this at Crabtree and Evelyn Branches nationwide for Php200, the other variant is Jojoba Lip balm.


BURT'S BEES LIP BALM WITH POMEGRANATE OIL

I thought this is gonna be a good lipbalm because it has a hint of color- pink. I used it only twice I guess, and
I ended up giving it away to a close friend who liked it. I can't bear its smell, I can't describe it but its too strong for me. And with the smell goes the taste-- which is undescribable, like licking a perfume. Moisturizing power isnt good too. Oh well, I'll move on to the next tube.
