Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin

Queen of the Girl Geeks

When Fall arrives I get giddy over the arrival of the Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin. This year Bath & Body works hit me a curve ball by not including the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scent in the Ultra Shea line up but they do have a few new products that I am loving. The closest new scent is probably the Spiced Pumpkin Cider.

Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin is a sweet, autumn blend of pumpkin, cinnamon & sugarcane and it just reminds me of Fall. I wear it all the time and I’m at least glad they have a hand cream otherwise I’d be spraying the concentrated room spray in my hair!

All of the products in the above photo are new this year except the two Ultra Shea Body Creams on the right. Those are from years past.

I am really loving the newSweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Pumpkin Butter soap and the hand cream. They also have a Deep Cleansing Hand Soap that I want to try.

So there you have it…Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin…ahhh!

Lush The Magic Of Christmas Reusable Bubble Bar Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Yes, I know it’s not yet Halloween but The Magic Of Christmas Reusable Bubble Bar star smells just like Christmas!

What’s to love?

I picked up a few of these Lush wands as stocking stuffers this year because they remind me of an old fashioned Christmas in both smell and style. The mixture or orange, almond and cinnamon is so amazing. I also love the star design with the cinnamon stick “wand” with the red bow and bell. Very Harry Potter like!

You run the star wand under a stream of water to get bubbles and fragrance. The water also turns a cool shade of glittery orange. I found the bubbles to be good and get 2-3 uses out of these Reusable Bubble Bars. I suppose you could cut this one up but I prefer to run it under water for the effect.

I also love using these as a fragrant bathroom decor. Everyone compliments me on how they look and smell. Bottom line is that I love everything about these sticks!

Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Body Cream Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

One of my favorite scents this Fall is the Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Body Cream and they are so affordable.

What’s to love?

This scent is so Fall. It’s the perfect mix of pumpkin and cinnamon without being overpowering, it’s also got a hit of vanilla and ginger snap in the formula.

I like using this body cream as a perfume too and everyone compliments me on the smell. It’s also so moisturizing (it’s got Shea Butter and Aloe Butter) for dry skin and one tube lasts forever.

I usually pick up a bunch of these for Fall gifts and everyone loves them! I don’t know what it is about Bath & Body Work in the Fall, but their product just make me happy.

Price: $13…but you can get a great deal when Bath & Body Works does a Buy 3, Get 3 Deal and use a coupon.

Lush 93,000 Miles Shower Jelly Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

This week I tested out Lush 93,000 Miles Shower Jelly but unfortunately the scent is not my cup of tea.

Why it didn’t work for me.

I got this online so I had never smelled it before. The product comes in a tub and I could smell the scent way before I even opened it. To me it smelled like cinnamon with a twist. I think it was the Eucalyptus and Mint Infusion mixed with the cinnamon that got to me. It just wasn’t my scent. At all. The color however is beautiful!

I did try it in the shower because sometimes scents are different with use but it was still a no go for me. I also had a hard time hanging on to the product. This sucker is super slippery and I kept dropping it. I’d love to hear how to tackle this problem.

Why you should consider trying it.

After I tried 93,000 Miles I read some of the reviews on Lush and there are plenty of people who love this product and swear by its ability to soothe muscles. So if you’re going to try it I recommend going to Lush and smelling it first or getting a sample to try.

I’m still excited about the Shower Jellies. I just got a sample of Refresher which smells like lemon and I think I’m going to like this one a lot better!
