BI and Suds

So much to catch up on! Wow, now that I think about it I haven't been having great luck with scents lately. I'm hoping my upcoming CH and MMU orders will turn things around!

First, Bathed and Infused.

Clementine body spray - Totally delicious when I first sprayed it, but then turned to a clean smell. It wasn't bad by any means, but not citrusy and orangey like I wanted. Definitely worth checking out though if you love true fresh orange scents - not cleaner-ish at all.

Mango Lime Fiesta wash - This smelled mostly like a margarita lime to me, I couldn't really smell the mango. It's a nice lime but nothing that unusual.

I also got body lotions in Gidget and Island Oasis (they were out of the fluffs!) Gidget is a nice fresh fruity scent. I'll use up the container but overall I think I still prefer BBW Tahiti Sweetie. Gidget isn't as sharp as Tahiti Sweetie, it's more sweet. Very nice fun scent for summer. Island Oasis I'm still debating. It's a great fruity coconut in the bottle but I think it turned slightly on me. I'll have to test it out again but for now I think I'll stick to other coconut scents. The body lotion itself is really nice, thick but not greasy and great for summer.

Now onto Suds. I got all of these in the featherlite souffle.

Black Coconut and Coconut Bubble - Ugh. These were truly awful even after I let them cure. I don't know if I got a bad batch of each one or what but they were totally off. Rotten, plasticky coconut was all I got.

Lethal Kiss - I was so excited to try this after hearing all the raves at the b and b board, but I really didn't care for the scent at all. I didn't smell pineapple, just an off strawberry scent. It was even worse on my skin.

Pineapple Salad - To me this smells just like plain pineapple. I like it but for the ultimate fresh pineapple scent CH Pineapple Slices is still the best.

Summer Berries - Another total miss. It smelled like bad potpourri. I didn't even bother trying it on.

Michelle kindly included samples of Pink Lime and Cleopatra. Pink Lime is really tart and sharp, I didn't get much of a "pink" note from it, but on me it was a very strong cleaner smell. Still worth trying out though if you like lime. I can't really describe Cleopatra but I will try - kind of a powdery floral. I liked it but it's not my type of scent.

CH order

Ack, I need to update more! Okay, I ordered a while ago from CH. Turnaround time was superfast again. Unfortunately none of the scents I ordered really worked for me. :( I got all of these in the body butter.

California Navel Orange - So nice in the container, true juicy orange and air freshener on me. Grrr.

Frozen Pineapple Cosmopolitan - To me this smelled exactly like Poipu Beach, only muted. Very strange.

Mango Lime Party Punch - Smelled very close to Seafoam Slushie, but maybe with a tad more lime and less creamy. It's a nice fruity scent but not really what I was looking for.

Peach Frost Mimosa - This was a great scent - true peach with some sweet fruitiness thrown in, not candy or creamy. Unfortunately it turned cloyingly sweet on me.

Raspberry Sherbert - Again, very nice in the container but awful on me. I wanted a nice tart raspberry. This is a creamy raspberry and smells tart enough for me in the jar, but once on it turned way too sweet.

White Grapefruit - Very true grapefruit, but almost too sharp for my nose. I definitely liked it better than Wai Nui grapefruit and Pink Grapefruit - this is the truest of those three. Still there was something a bit off about it and it only got worse with my chemistry.

I got some very generous samples in this order too:

Island Tiki Umbrella Drink - Darnit, why does everything smell like Seafoam Slushie to me? LOL. Not really a very unusual scent, just kind of generic fruit. It was somewhat lime-y in the vial but on me turned sweet.

Lemon Sponge Sherbert Roll - Great foody lemon scent. Since I'm not into those types of scents I wouldn't get it, but definitely check it out if you like them.

Pink Raspberry Fizzy Pop - Artificial and overly sweet to my nose. I couldn't smell any raspberry at all.

Pink Tangelo Rock Candy - This is actually quite nice and I normally hate pink sugar scents. It was lovely in the jar, fresh and sweet at the same time. But on me it was like rancid candy. Sigh.

Strawberry Pucker Mousse Cake - A little too sweet for me but good if you like a very sweet cake with just the tiniest hint of strawberry.

I also received a sample of Cranberry Pineapple Spritzer. I don't even know what it smelled like since I couldn't smell either the cranberry or the pineapple. Just generic. Oh well. I have another order on the way so we'll see if those scents are any better!
