small CH and BI orders

Ack, so long since I've updated! I haven't been doing that much e-tailer shopping though. In any case here are some reviews on small orders I placed in the past couple months.

Coconut Hut (shea cremes)

Coconut Tsunami - Totally delicious in the jar, but it goes both plastic and musty on my skin. I may try it in a scrub eventually though. It's a very light, fresh coconut with a touch of sweetness.

Dole Whip - Mmmm! This is a lighter, more summery version of CH's Pineapple Buttercream Cupcake, which I love. It doesn't have the heavier, sweet notes and is perfect for summer.

Hawaiian Tropics Tanning Oil dupe - Oof. I had such high hopes for this but it's all plastic to my nose both in the jar and on me. :(

Lemonade Twister (scrub) - I thought I'd like this more in a scrub rather than the perfume (I tried it in an unsuccessful attempt to find something that smells like Philosophy's Pink Lemonade), but no luck. Still too sweet and cloying for me.

BB Beach dupe (salt scrub) - Dead-on dupe of my beloved Bobbi Brown Beach. I'll probably order the shea creme in this soon as I'm totally out of a moisturizer in this scent.

Bathed and Infused
I actually made 2 small orders with them in the past few months but for the sake of this post I'll combine the reviews into one.

Beach Sandals - This gets a lot of raves at MUA's bath and body board, but I'm not really getting the hype. Maybe it's beacause I only got this in the perfume paddle, but all I smell is a slightly floral note. The coconut is there but it's pretty much buried underneath the other notes. Perhaps it's better in a scrub or lotion.

Orange Cream Daquiri - Totally in love with this! For some reason this year smelling like an orange creamsicle is really appealing to me, so I gave this a shot. It's just like an orange creamsicle but with the added addition of a delicious, ever so slightly boozy coconut. It really does smell like an orange creamsicle cocktail. I don't see it on the scent list anymore so I think it was LE, but I ordered it during their summer sale and they still had some in stock.

Raspberry Lime Rickey - This was much heavier on the lime than the raspberry. As a matter of fact, I couldn't really smell the raspberry at all, just a very tart lime. If you like lime though give this a shot - it's very crisp and tart without smelling like a house cleaner.

Summer Lovin' - I have to admit that I got this partly because of the name and the fact that it's part of a very cute Grease-themed collection, but it's not the fruity goodness I was hoping for. I couldn't pick out any individual notes - it was just a generic sweet scent to me.
