In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Jaqua Pink Buttercream Frosting Shower Crème

What else would you expect for In-My-Tub-Tuesday the week of my birthday but something delicious, sweet and frosting-themed?

Here’s the thing. My favorite food on THE PLANET is birthday cake. I have loved it with abandon since I was a tiny tot while my waistline has, at times, not loved it as much as I have. But when your blog is called BeautyFrosting, listen, there’s no shortage of frosting around.

Lucky for me, my favorite taste/scent and color are all packaged together prettily in my In-My-Tub-Tuesday pick today: Jaqua Pink Buttercream Frosting Shower Creme ($18).

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Jaqua Buttercream Shower Creme

 

This week, to celebrate my birthday all week long (as I’m prone to do), I’ll light some candles, add in some buttercream bubbles to my bath, pour a glass of bubbly and reflect on the year behind me and dream of the year to come.

Light the candles, pour in the bubbles and pour a glass of bubbly for my birthday week!

So, Jaqua, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

1) Let’s start with the scent, itself. Bathe or shower yourself in the rich, creamy, buttery vanilla bean scent with a hint of banana and warm florals and go to sleep smelling like cupcakes and dreaming of sugarplums.

2) Lavish your skin with super-skin-quenching moisture. With nourishing ingredients, such as Fruit & Aloe extracts, macadamia, evening primrose oils and vitamins B5, A & E, you’ll always step out of your bathing experience with skin that feels as delicious as it smells.

3) Um, put simply, Jaqua just has the cutest packaging around. Girls of EVERY age love the chocolate damask print and it coordinates so well with the pink of the gel. And, let’s be honest – we’re girls! We like pretty things. There, I said it.

So, now you know what I’ll be bathing in all week long while celebrating my birthday…

BF

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Bath & Body Works Pure Paradise Collection

With Flossie about to hit Hawaii and summer’s end in sight, I’m wanting any indication possible that summer can last just a little bit longer.

So what bathtime delights am I turning to in this tropical storm time?
Why, the Pure Paradise Bath & Body Works collection, of course!

Bath & Body Works Pure Paradise Collection ($11 -$16.50) - Pictured here: Pure Paradise Body Lotion ($11), Pure Paradise Shower Gel ($11), and Pure Paradise Fragrance Mist ($14)

Last night, I took a long, hot bath soaking in the Pure Paradise shower gel ($11). It foamed up a bit and made my bathroom smell like a tropical vacation meets my old days at camp. I closed my eyes and was able to smell both the memories of my yesterday and the future memories of my tomorrow.

What do I mean by that? Simple. It reminds me of a tropical vacation due to its summer seduction quality that it seems to have all bottled up while reminding me of my times at summer camp – filled with innocence, first love and the warm night breeze.

Of course, that might all be from the sumptuous star fruit, juicy guava or dewy cassis. Or it could be from the luscious gardenia, frangipani or water lily. But the white musk, blond woods and sunkissed coconut certainly don’t harsh my tropical bathtime buzz!

And when it came time to hydrate, I wanted the scent – and nostalgic feeling – to continue. So to town I went with the Pure Paradise Fragrance Mist ($14) and Pure Paradise Body Lotion ($11).

I went to sleep in a seductive slumber dreaming of my old pre-teen boyfriends from camp and my future boyfriends on the beach.
Now, that’s what I call a good evening, ladies!

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower & Bath Gel

Good morning -er – afternoon, I mean!

Sorry for the late post today, guys!

I have been lacking energy all day long.

After taking my vitamins, drinking some tea, working out and even going to get a B-12 shot, I finally decided to hop into a mid-afternoon shower and get my dependable wakeup call!

That’s why today’s In-My-Tub-Tuesday is a thank you letter to Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower & Bath Gel ($7.99 – $26.99, depending on size).

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Neutrogena Rainbath Shower & Bath Gel - my wakeup call!

With its aromatic array of citrus, herbs and spices, this amber-hued shower gel helps me get up & go. And man, oh, man did I need that today!

I get out of the shower refreshed, ready to go, cleansed and moisturized without a hint of residue.

When guests use it at my house, they swear it lulls them to sleep, but for me – it’s all about the pure energy it brings into my world.
And on a day like today, that’s just what the doctor ordered. So thanks, Neutrogena! This girl needed a little pick-me-up!

xoxo,
BF

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Primavera EnergizingGinger Lime Body Wash

 

PRIMAVERA Energizing Ginger Lime Body Wash ($20): In-My-Tub-Tuesday but really...

Now, we all know how much I love my relaxing soothe-me-to-sleep bath every night; but what about those times when I need to rinse & rev up?

That’s when the perfect energizing shower gel is in order. So when I needed to energize before a totally radical 80s prom party this past Saturday night, I reached for PRIMAVERA Energizing Ginger Lime Body Wash ($20). (That’s probably not a sentence that is frequently found in beauty product reviews, huh?) It seriously woke me up for the writing haze and Saturday blahs I had been dealing with all day long!

Ideal for starting the day, reenergizing after a challenging workout or just waking up your senses, cruelty-free and Certified Natural Personal Care PRIMAVERA Energizing Ginger Lime Body Wash is the perfect marriage of citrus and zing. This gentle, non-drying, gently foaming today wash effectively removes dirt and excess oils without stripping the skin. And the wide awake scents of ginger and lime will leave you awake, rejuvenated and ready to take on the day (or in my case, the night!)

Totally Awesome.

...in my shower!

BF

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Whish Pomegranate Three Whishes Body Wash

We all know how I love my nightly bath. But know what makes it even better?
A foamy, frothy, fruity-smelling body wash that makes my body feel adored!

I got all that and more when I tried Whish Three Whishes Body Wash in Pomegranate.

No, I don't just love it because it matches my bathroom...but it doesn't hurt, either!

The wondrous Whish creators removed the typical not-so-lovely drying ingredients (such as sulfate) found in many body washes and replaced them with scrumptiously softening organic ingredients. Perfect for a sumptuous soak in the tub! Especially since I’m still reading Fifty Shades Darker (wink, wink).

The Whish formula sounds more like one of my recipes than a list of body wash ingredients which of course makes me love Whish even more!
This pomegranate formula moisturizes with organic shea butter, organize raspberry butter and organic aloe, cleanses with wheat, sugar and corn derived ingredients and soothes with organic cucumber and organic marigold. DELICIOUS!

And other good stuff from this whimsical Whish body wash? It’s cruelty free, paraben free, DEA & TEA free, petrochemical free and contains all natural & organic ingredients. Love all that!

Plus, I have to admit, the scent reminded me of showering at Southern Methodist University in Virginia Hall back during my Talented And Gifted camp days. It took me right back to Dallas, Summer 1992. Nostalgia gets me every time. The best selling point in the world to a nostalgic girl like me!

Now if only there was a genie in this Three Whishes Body Wash so I could have 3 wishes granted!!!

BF
