Ulta Smoothies Body Cream Body Swirl in Butter Cream Cupcake

Welp, here it is. Another discontinued Ulta product. It's a shame they discontinued it, really, they had such potential. Plus, they smelled delicious. Appletini? Yes please. Green apple scents are my weakness.

Butter cream cupcake smells just like the name. It smells like you just cracked open a tub of icing. Yum. So I give it points for the initial scent. But it fades. Fast. I put it on before I went to work, and by the time I got there, which is a three minute drive, it was gone!

It's not exactly the most moisturizing formula, either. It lasts for about as long as the scent is there. I will hand it to them, it isn't greasy like some of their other lotions. I thought this one would be because of the shimmer ribbons in it, but it's not.

The packaging, as well, is a huge failure. The pump at the top doesn't allow much of the lotion through it. It takes three huge pumps to get enough to cover my arms, and then usually it requires another to get the spots I missed on it. Too much work for a small amount of lotion.

All in all, it's not really a big wonder it was discontinued. I just liked going to the store and sniffing the testers.

Would I repurchase it? ;; No.

Bath&Body Works Moonlight Path Triple Moisture Body Cream

Well, I reviewed the shower gel a while back, and replaced my empty body lotion with this, so I figured I might as well review it. I got the whole set -- shower gel, body lotion, triple moisture body cream, and body mist -- as a welcoming gift from out family friends when I moved in with my dad. The shower gel and body pouf are long gone, and I still have the three remaining items -- well, two and a half. This lotion doesn't take much to use up.

As stated before, it's a very floral scent. Not the worst, but not the best. In fact, the body cream has an almost powdery smell, like someone took baby powder and mixed it in. It almost reminds me of my grandmother's bathroom. Not that my grandmother's bathroom smells awful, in fact for a bathroom it's very pleasant. Just not something I want my skin to smell like. And, unlike the gel, this scent stays for a while.

As for the lotion itself, it is one of the better lotions I've used. The cream is thick, and goes on smooth. On my skin, it absorbs pretty quickly, and isn't greasy or disgusting feeling at all. It is a bit on the heavy side, though, which I prefer for the dry, cold Winter months, so it's not something I would purchase in the Spring or Summer.

It's super hydrating without leaving any nasty residue. One issue I do have with it is that I get a lot of cuts and scrapes on my legs and arms at work. Whenever I put this lotion over it, it stings slightly. I'm not sure if that's the lotion formula or the heavy fragrance. It is a bit of a concern for me, since I get cuts all the time, but definitely not a deal breaker.

Would I repurchase it? ;; Yes, just not in this scent
