Bath and Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist

My Influenster account gave me access to their Spring Beauty Vox Box, which included a nice variety of items to try out. The Spring Beauty Vox Box came with body spray, lipbalm, a SoyJoy bar, duo concealer, Doctor Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot, Sally Hansen Salon Effects, and Aveeno body wash.

The first delightful product I decided to try was Paris Amour's Fine Fragrance Mist from Bath & Body Works. The smell is great, it's not overwhelming like I was thinking it would be. It's advertised to have a "dreamy blend of French tulips, apple blossoms, and sparkling pink champagne" which was "inspired by a romantic stroll through the streets of Paris."

While I'm not inspired to be romantic, it does make me feel nice that I smell great when wearing it. There's even aloe to condition and nourish your skin while you wear it.

The real test was when I wore it around my father. His asthma is set off from perfume, candles, laundry detergent, and soaps, so the fact that I thought it was light enough to wear around him said something. He did not have a reaction after three spritz, so I call this body spray a smashing success.

I love wearing it, I don't feel like I'm walking through a fog of perfume with it, and it's "airy" enough to be safe around my father.

You can buy an 8 ounce bottle for $14.00 (plus shipping) here.

Review: LELO Gigi

Manufacturing Company: Lelo
Cost: $65 on Amazon, $109 on LELO's website, and $115 in most stores
Materials: Body Safe Silicone

Benefits: Quiet, different speeds and modes, rechargeable with a quick recharge time, 10 year partial replacement warranty, 1 year limited warranty
Cons: Slippery when wet, pricey 

Rating: 4 out of 5
It's a bit pricey for a sex toy, but you get what you pay for, right? Plus, nothing is cheap when it's body safe AND rechargeable. 

Added Note: This has a matte finish, giving it an interesting touch texture. It comes with its own little silk pouch for storage. It takes only 2 hours to charge for 4 hours of play and will store the charge for up to 90 days with a charge indicator (the nobs to change speeds). You get "soft flutter to an intense pulsation," which even if that is from the website, is true fact.

WET's 4-in-1 Lubricants


There is a lubrication company, called WET. I enjoy WET as such, I have had no complaints so far regarding it. (PLUS their website offers FREE SAMPLES. How awesome is that? AND downloadable coupons!)
No tackiness. No sticky. No disgusting flavors.

Anyway... Moving on to the benefits of the 4-in-1 lube! It's warming. It's flavored. It's a massage oil. It's a lubricant.
It does everything, but cook the bacon the next morning! (And I'm sure they're working on that, honestly...)

Manufacturing Company: WET
Cost: $7.95 for a small, $14.95 for a big bottle

Pros: does everything, flavors DON'T suck, smell is NOT overwhelming, doesn't dry out too soon, waterbased, sugar free
Cons: limited flavor selection, even though it is bigger than most

Rating: 3 of 5
As a flavored lube, it does better than most. But it's not slick like a normal lube. For an oral enhancer, it's great, for a massage oil... You'd better be ready for the stickiness. It's nice, because it's sugar free, so you can use it as a normal lube or as an oral lube for a woman.
