Bath & Body Works: The Store Review

For the past 5 years I have been a fan of Bath & Body Works. My heart really grows fond of BBW around the holidays. I love this store because they carry great bath and body products along with home fragrances. I never shopped at BBW for candles until this year - I was influenced by YouTube videos on their candles. I only looked at BBW for their body wash, lotions, and mists. I'm glad Youtubers out there opened my eyes to the other side of the store. BBW has great scents which varies from sweet to savory and musky to sensual. I love that they release scents in line with the seasons! My favorite holiday scent line from them is their Fall 2012 Collection so far! Their candles and wallflowers can spruce up a room for great cost. The hand soaps are deeply moisturizing and smell amazing with each use. My in store experiences have always been pleasant with amazing customer service skills provided by the BBW staff. It doesn't hurt that the store is one big playground to test scents and try out newly released products. I use what I refer to as the holy trinity - shower gel, body lotion, and fragrance mist - as part of my everyday routine. I splurge on the candles every now and then as I wait on the 2/$20 deals. I want to mention that shopping online via their website is also very pleasant! Check out is a breeze and the shipping is reasonably fast! If you can't tell already I absolutely love BBW! This place is great for everything including gifts! The only negative I would say is that their candles regular prices are very expensive but just substitute for a wallflower till the next 2/$20.

I want to mention Mahogany Teakwood a mini candle I received from Influenster. This candle smells just like a nice men's cologne. Most people compare this scent to Abercrombie and Fitch. I think this is a pleasant scent when you want a break from the normal fruity, edible scents.

Influenster Crest 3D Strips Review

I was selected to try out Crest's 3D White Strips from Influenster. The product comes with seven strips for everyday use for a max of two hours. I'm pretty excited to try these strips! I'm going to start using these strips tomorrow everyday for a week. Crest says that this product is guaranteed to show results after one use. After trying the Crest strips I have come to my conclusion on the 3D White Whitestrips. I do not like these strips! For the amount of time you have to have them on for the maximum effect is highly uncomfortable. Each time I tested these strips, which was three strips, I had them on for two hours each night. I did notice a whiter smile but I strongly dislike the way these strips feel on my teeth. I do like that I was able to drink water while using the strips because some of the gel leaks out of the strips and I could taste it. The strips stayed in place besides a little uplifts on the edges. Overall I wouldn't recommend these strips nor would I purchase them. I do want to add that I did buy the Crest 3D White Toothpaste to go with these strips to get the full whitening effect and I do love the toothpaste!
