Some small orders

I can't believe how many things I finished up! I needed to restock so I placed an order at Coconut Hut and one at Bathed and Infused. I got my beloved Dole Whip creme and Pineapple Buttercream Cupcake scrub from CH, along with some samples of body butter:

Cake Batter - This was just eh both in the jar and on my skin. It was a nice cake scent on cold sniff, but very subtle - I really had to stick my nose in to get any scent! On my skin it was nice but faded to nothing within minutes. Oh well.

Pink Fairy Frosting - Ohhh this is amazing. It's actually very similar to Pink Almond Stardust (both in the jar and on my skin) but foody with a hint of strawberry. I feel a little ridiculous wearing something named this - it sounds more appropriate for a five-year-old - but the scent isn't too juvenile.

Pumpkin Caramel Swirl Cupcake - So delicious in the jar but not great on me. On cold sniff it's slightly spicy pumpkin pie but the caramel/cupcake notes make it nice and sweet. On me though it was sort of like spicy cake. I'm still on the fence and I keep trying it, but ultimately I think this is a scent that will only work in a scrub for me.

I also got a scrub in Pumpkin Pie a la Mode, which is so yummy I think I might be out of it before the holidays are over! I don't really smell the vanilla ice cream, just pumpkin pie, but it is fabulous.

Then I got a few things from Bathed and Infused, including a scrub in their delicious, dead-on, not-too-spicy Cinnamon Buns since I discovered I had used up the last of my Cinnamon Buns scrub last year. I was also completely out of a pumpkin pie moisturizer so I decided to try their in-between cream in it, and I'm in love! Texturewise it's very similar to CH's Polynesian Poi-Fection shea creme but a tad thicker. It moisturizes nicely but doesn't feel greasy, so I think this will definitely work year-round. I really like it a lot better than the lotion (too light and doesn't hold scent well) and the fluff (too thick), so I think all the moisturizers I get from BI from now on will be in this. I also got a couple of lotion samples. Even though I'm not crazy about the lotions, it's the best and cheapest way to really try out a scent.

Cake Batter - I liked this a lot better than CH's version, but it didn't agree with my skin. Overall I think I prefer sweeter birthday cake scents as opposed to plain cake batter (love the sweet frosting notes!)

Peppermint Patty - Mmmm, yummy! Nice even mix of peppermint and chocolate. Unfortunately this didn't work on me either. The mint went funny on me. It's odd since Cool Beans works on me, but this didn't. Oh well.

BI threw in a perfume paddle in Purple Pumpkin, which was...odd. It was like a fruity (grape? maybe berry?) pumpkin. I didn't care for it but if you like pumpkin it's an unusual twist. They also added a little rubber ducky with a 20% off code, which was an amazing surprise!

I'm in the process of ordering more scrumptious scents now that CH has its annual holiday gift bag deals going on, and I'm going to use my BI discount too, so more foody goodness is on its way. :)
