Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist

DISCLAIMER: I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program


As you can  see, this Fine Fragrance Mist was included in my current Beauty VoxBox from Influenster. I was really hoping for the Japanese Cherry Blossom because that is my absolute favorite scent from Bath & Body Works. However, I am quite pleased I that I received Sweat Pea because it has sentimental value.

 My girlfriends and I  LOVED this scent. I can remember us all in our 8th grade gym class using this after class ended. We would “freshen” up with Sweet Pea, touch up our make up and hair for the rest of our school day. I can remember us carrying the Sweet Pea bottle in our bags everywhere we went. We used to go to each others houses on Fridays to get ready for our night at the Skating Rink, and you better believe we used our Sweet Pea for that too. My sister and I had the same group of friends and this reminds me of her as well. Especially because she no longer lives in the same town as we do.

Until I received Sweet Pea in my Beauty VoxBox, I forgot about those memories. Wearing this scent again makes me remember our fun times together, our laughs, our sad times, our FRIENDSHIP. Although that group of friends no longer communicates because we are older and doing life now, it’s bitter sweet to remember. I enjoy the nostalgia connected with Sweet Pea. 

There are a few differences from the Sweet Pea I used then and the one I received from Influenster. The bottle is now shaped a bit differently but still contains 8 fl oz of the fragrance. 


Here you can see the differences of the bottle packaging. The old style (left) was more rounded. The newer style (right) is a longer tube like round with a large square cap. The old caps fit right of the Squirter. The newer style is more modern and I enjoy the look of it.

Also, the collection from Bath & Body Works is now classified as a NEW Fine Fragrance Mist. The collection consists of the following:

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster. The following is indeed my true and honest opinion of this product.

If you are unfamiliar with the Sally Hansen Salon Nail Effects, then this post will give you basic knowledge about the product. I have tried Jamberry Nails, Kiss Nail Dress, and Incoco strips in the past, but not Sally Hansen. There isn’t any particular reason as to why I have not tried this before, other than the fact that I just haven’t had the impulse to buy them. Luckily, I received this kit in my Influenster Spring Beauty VoxBox.

This Kit Included:

16 Nail Polish Strips in 320 Kitty, Kitty, 

Cuticle Stick

Mini File and Buffer

Detailed Instructions

Quick Facts about the Sally Hansen Salon Effects:

No dry time

Lasts up to 10 days

Removes easily with nail polish remover

40 styles to choose from

Retails for about 9.99 at chain drug stores, food stores and mass merchandisers nationally. (I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it cheaper at WalMart)

Application:

Application is fairly easy, especially since I have experience with nail strips. If you follow the directions and take your time, you will achieve a fairly quick and inexpensive mani. 

I did notice that there was a tip that sated: “If possible, for a uniform look, avoid over-stretching patterns.” It is easy to over-stretch the strip so be light and gentle when applying. Also, it can be easy to have ripples and bubbles, but like I said, if your patient, it really will turn out for the best. 

Here are the instructions included in the kit:

And the finished product:

I did not add a top coat because I wanted to test the strips out alone. They did very well seeing as I got about 5 days of wear before chipping occurred. For the price that these retail, I will be purchasing more. 

After testing this product I rate it 10/10 because the price, application, and total length of wear seems to uphold my expectations.
