Hey guys! I really wanted to get this post out quickly so that if you're interested in these products, you can still get your hands on them before they disappear. Seriously, I feel like this summer has really been steeped in products that contain either banana or watermelon and I am very much here for it, so there was no way that I was going to miss out on trying these out. The Body Shop Banana hair care products have been a long time favorite of a lot of people, so it makes perfect sense that they would have shifted into banana body care as well. Personally, I think they're basically insane for making their Summer 2019 Wonderfully Wonky Banana products limited edition, but they are and so... HURRY! 

But first, keep reading to check out my thoughts on them... and then go get them before they're gone!

Ever since my mom bought me almond scented biodegradable soap for camp when I was maybe 9 or 10, I've been obsessed with anything almond scented. Seriously, that smell has some of the best scent memories for me and I always find that the experience of using it makes me feel genuinely happy. So, of course, whenever I see "Almond' on a body or hair care product, I shamelessly open the cap and take a sniff to see if it needs to come home with me. Admittedly, usually it actually doesn't because most products just contain sweet almond oil and don't actually have an almond scent. However, recently I was just checking out what was new in my local body care aisle and I took a sniff of the Nature Box Almond Oil Body Wash and it was game over. Directly into my basket it went. And I really, really wanted to share it with you guys!

Hey guys! I always get excited about new releases from Live Clean. The brand is very much a constant in my life and has been for years, so I'm always looking forward to new releases and I feel like more and more we're seeing new product lines from the brand more frequently these days. So, of course, when I received the Live Clean Foaming Body Washes* in the mail, I couldn't wait to try them out.

I know scents are subjective, but for my personal taste there is no better season for smells than fall. Sure, sometimes they go a little too far with the caramel sweetness, but I don't care because so often they're paired with something a little spicy or nutty or just... rich. I can get down with floral scents in the spring and fresher scents in the summer, but I'm always excited to get to when smells smell the best, and for me that's definitely fall. Have I gone on long enough? For Fall 2018, Avon has released some new body care products with classic fall scents, including Pumpkin Soufflé, as well as some gorgeous candles.

Hey guys! Recently I got the chance to try out the Weleda Mighty Essentials Travel Set*, which includes 5 of their must have products. Even though this set isn't available anymore, I wanted to give you guys my first impressions on the products included in it because I think there's some winners in the bunch that a lot of people would really enjoy - including a ride or die, long time favorite product of mine that I recommend constantly. 

When it comes to body care, I have to admit that the thing I tend to lean on most is how products smell. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, but there really is something about filling the shower with a scent that you enjoy and making it a sensory experience rather than a simply necessary task for hygiene. Recently, I was really excited to get to try out the Avon Senses Body Care Lemon Blossom & Basil* products. Lemon is by far one of my favorite scents because it always smells clean and fresh, and I really tend to enjoy the addition of herbs in fruity or floral scents. 

If you guys have been reading this blog for a while, you know that Live Clean products are an absolute staple in my bathroom. From their shampoos and conditioners, which both me and my boyfriend use consistently, to the hand soaps that I literally can't not have on hand, I'm a huge fan of the brand and am pretty much up for trying any and everything that they put out. But as soon as I saw the Live Clean Vanilla Oatmeal Soothing Body Wash & Hand Soap*, it was pretty much next level excitement to try it out. I mean... VANILLA OATMEAL. 

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

When it comes to body care, I really only have a short list of needs. First, it has to smell good. If there's a really great body product that I hate the smell of, I'll just never use it. So, I'm the girl in the body wash aisle taking deep whiffs of everything and I'm not ashamed. The second is that it needs to keep me hydrated. I admit I'm a little bit devil may care when it comes to body lotion. I recognize the necessity of it, especially since my skin tends to skew dry, but I am absolute crap about remembering to apply it after every bath or shower and I pretty much never apply it on the days when I don't. So I can't wash my body with soap. It's just not a thing that can happen. Anyway, now that I've gotten my personal needs out of the way, I recently got the opportunity to try some Goat's Milk Body Products from Caprina* and now that I've tried them all out I'm excited to review them for you!

So... What are "Intimate Cosmetics", you ask? I had the same question when I was considering trying out these products for review. The answer, that these are products that "work to balance a woman's sensuality and sexuality", didn't necessarily tell me as much as I wanted to know... So here's my definition, which I thought of after getting out of the shower having used one of these products. I feel like these products work in very much the same way some sexy lingerie can. Lingerie isn't always meant for someone else, in fact I'd say that for me it's more often about how I feel about me than how someone else feels about me, but it can be used to entice someone and draw them in. There's something empowering about feeling sexy, even outside of a sexual context, and I think all women like to feel that kind of empowering sexiness. Hence, Intimate Cosmetics.


So without further adieu... Keep reading to take a look at each of the products - and be warned that you might find the packaging NSFW.

I have a thing for nutty scented bath & body products, I must admit. Sometimes in the summer I'll meander over to fresher or more tropical scents that suit the mood of the season, but for most of the year I love rich, warm, nutty scents in my body care. My obsession with all things almond scented is really no secret on this blog, is it? Anyway, when I was wandering through Walmart recently, I saw that they were now carrying c. Booth products and couldn't resist picking up a couple to try. In the US, I know this line is available at Ulta and perhaps some other places, but I've never seen it in Canada. The first product I'm going to review here is the Honey Almond Nourishing Bath & Body Wash, because... Ahem, almond? No regrets.
