One of my favs

Yummy smelling bath products are a must have for me. I'm always a fan of Philosophy's bath gels but sometimes I don't feel like shelling out the moola. Baby needs some diapers, ya know? Softsoap Pomegranate Mango Moisturizing Body Wash fits the bill of delicious and cheap. I've gone through numerous bottles of this bad boy and have always been happy to buy more. I purchased my bottle o' bath gel for under $4 at Target. 

What I like about this bath gel is although it's moisturizing it doesn't leave a film on my skin. Once applied to a bath poof I don't need to keep adding product- a little goes a long way! And the best part of this besides smelling awesome but not overpowering is that I can shave without nicking my skin, woot woot! 

Have you ever tried Softsoap brand bath gels before? What did you think?

Disclosure: I bought this myself because I like stuff.

Review: Nivea Touch of Bliss Moisturizing Body Wash

I keep forgetting to review this little gem of a body wash. I've had Nivea's Touch of Bliss Moisturizing Body Wash in Apricot Blossom for a bit now and L-O-V-E it. They need to rename this to Peach Bellini. OMG I want to drink this instead of bathe with it. I know it says apricots but it just screams peaches and champagne to me, so weird.



The good: It actually moisturizes without residue, foams without a bath puff (I use a puff though) and stays foamy without the need to reapply to the puff. Best of all, I can shave with this bath gel. Hold the phone, you mean I don't need to buy a separate shave gel? Heck no.

The bad: No bad things to report.

I'm a huge Philosophy Bath gel fan but this bath gel definitely is a cheaper alternative, if not better product to their gels. I just wish Nivea had a zillion different scents like Philosophy does.

I found the Apricot Blossum version at CVS. Target sells this line for $3.50 but not the Apricot Blossum scent.

Disclosure: I bought this myself because I needed to bathe. Smelly Lindsay no es bueno.

Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava Body Wash Review

I'm always in the market for yummy smelling bath gels. Since I like Pacifica lotions so much, I thought I'd give their bath gels some attention. I picked up Hawaiian Ruby Guava to review.



What the Sephora website says about this bath gel:
Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava Body Wash is a Sephora-exclusive must-have that purifies and pampers the skin with an infusion of natural ingredients and essential oils. Its fragrance is a sexy blend of sweet guava and bright pomelo, inspired by lingering hours in paradise watching the waves as tropical fruit notes and hints of coconut surf wax mingle with the breeze.



I was told by the sales person the lotions and the corresponding bath gels smell exactly alike in this brand. In the case of the Ruby Guava bath wash, the lotion smells better. This gel has a strong pomelo smell, which kind of overpowers the coconut and guava smell. A pomelo is related to the grapefruit, hence the gel smells like grapefruit. Smells nice and energizing.

Rocco likes the smell of it.


Many people complained this gel didn't give them tons of suds. While it's sulfate free, it does contain a sudsing agent from a coconut source. On a bath puff I found it didn't suds as much as I liked, but I didn't have to add more product to the puff. It's hard to describe, but it gave me a thin but consistent layer of suds throughout my usage of the gel.

More dislikes: I found the pump hard to use. I had to pump it 5 times to get the amount I desired. The gel doesn't leave a fragrance behind on the skin, and it doesn't moisturize like the packaging said.

This product is just ok. It left my skin clean and it's vegan, but I wouldn't bother repurchasing it.

Disclosure: I like to buy stuff so I bought this too. Wheeeee!
