Bath & Body Works Fall 2017 Salted Caramel Apricot Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I think the Salted Caramel Apricot scent is fast becoming my new favorite Fall scent!

What’s to love?

The Salted Caramel Apricot is a blend of Buttery Caramel, Sea Salt & Apricot Brandy and comes in the Body Cream, Fine Fragrance Mist, Shower Gel and Whipped Body Butter.

So far I’ve just used the shower gel but I am loving this honey formula. The scent is amazing and smells like caramel candy apricot and if you love the food scents like me you’ll probably like it. I am hoping they bring this one out as a foaming hand soap for Fall too.

Josie Maran Whipped Mud Mask in Vanilla Apricot Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I got a sample of the Josie Maran Whipped Mud Mask in Vanilla Apricot in my August Ipsy bag.

What’s to love?

This mask is the perfect color for Fall! It looks very orange and the smell reminds me of the St. Ives Apricot Scrub that I used when I was in my twenties and aside from looking like an Oompa Loompa I give this one a 9 out of 10.

I’d say this is a basic clay face mask that dries fairly quickly.  I left it on my face for 5 minutes and washed off with a warm wash cloth. My skin felt soft after removing but the skin around my eyes felt just a little dry. I would have liked a little more moisture in the mask. My pores did seem a little bit smaller too. I’m wondering what age group this mask is targeted for.

The masks are “formualted with 100% Pure Argan oil” and are free of Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates which is nice.

I don’t think you can buy this mask as a single item which is interesting. It’s part of a 5-pack whipped mud mask set and I think I might like the Sweet Basil Mint better than the Apricot mask. I wish you could buy one scent at a time.
