My favourite bath time scents

Hi all! And welcome back to Shelves of Beauty!

If you liked the first blog hopefully, you’ll like the second. This time I’ll be talking about my favourite shower gels, the ones I love the most, limited editions and the ones that make me go meh!

Let’s start off with my favourite, Bath and Body works (available through next). The fragrance that I can’t, and you shouldn’t be without is “Into the Night”.

From shower gel to body mist and body lotion, it has a luxurious smell and if I say so myself, is paired well with my favourite perfume, Black Opium. With shower gel ranging from £16 to the body mist that is £18, these fragrances are extremely affordable for anyone. I also really love the scent Perfect in Pink, I feel bath and body works scents leave my skin feeling cleaned but alongside their lotion feeling nourished. The scent lasts so long on my skin, and not only does it last on me you can also smell it throughout the house! The number of fragrances available from Bath and Body works for both males and females is in the hundreds, and I’d say approximately half of the female fragrances are in my bathroom.

If you like light scents, fresh, summery or more autumnal scents bath and body works has it all along with their limited editions. For example, for Halloween they have the scent ‘Vampire Blood’ this scent is fruity and floral with a hint of jasmine and berries (can’t wait to get my hands on this one to add to my collection). Also, for Halloween they have brought out their ‘I scream float’ with a sweet smell that reminds me of an ice cream coke float. I must admit I can’t wait for the Christmas scents to be released to put on my Christmas list.

Even though these are limited edition, bath and body works won’t put the arm in. They are the same price as all year-round scents.

Another brand I love is Lush. With their products being 100% vegetarian and approximately 95% of that being vegan, its great for everyone. The fragrance that is on top of my Christmas list is their Snow Fairy range.


This scent is so popular that once it becomes available it flies off the shelf. This is a winter scent though I think it should be an all-year-round scent! Snow fairy smells like candyfloss, bubble-gum and Christmas in a bottle. Leaving my skin silky smooth and feeling as though my skin can breathe. Though a bit more expensive than Bath and Body Works with the body spray coming in at £25.00 for 200ml and their shower gel for 1kg is £36.00 and their lip mask for 18g is £9.50 must admit I use all this scent sparingly as I need it to last till next Christmas.

And finally, I know this is a stocking filler for many. But we really must talk about the elephant in the room. Lynx. With it being in my view a stocking filler, some people love It some people hate it, to me it leaves my skin feeling itchy, the scent doesn’t last long, and it reminds me of school changing rooms. For the duo gift set which is the shower gel and deodorant it is £8. I have to admit as a fragrance it is good for the teenager in the house.

Until next time,

Sophia

Welcome to my little beauty shelf!

Hi all and welcome to shelves of beauty! My name is Sophia and over the next few blogs I will be discussing all things hair and beauty. If you’ve found your way to this page save it and keep coming back for more updates on everything hair, bath and shower related. So, if you’re looking for advice on the best hair products or shower routine or looking for the best gift ideas this is the page for you! Won’t break the bank (but might hurt the pockets). You may be wondering why I called this, shelves of beauty, but if you look into my own bathroom and bedroom, you will understand why! I could sell products back to stores with the amount that I have, some bought, some gifted (but nearly all loved), I have a few that if I do say so regret purchasing but kept at the back of the shelf in case of emergency (not that it’s going to happen). The shelves full of products aren’t just a hygiene regime they are a way of improving my own self confidence from the hair masks to the lip scrub and gloss, t...

Scent Marketing Explained

Image
  Welcome back.  Firstly, I would like to thank everybody who has read my first two blog posts and I hope you enjoy the third, and for those who have not read my first two blogs where have you been? 😂  This week I am going to focus on scent marketing. What is scent marketing I hear you ask. It is a smart use of scents which are used by companies to attract customers into their stores and increase the likelihood of positive experiences which in turn lead to transactions.   As I sit here, just out of my shower smelling of Dove Shea butter and Vanilla pampering body wash, in my head whenever I smell this scent all I can think of is a hot bath with plenty of bubbles and candles lit, especially after a long day at university or after being busy around the house. Its calming scent makes it easy to unwind and relax.  If your anything like me I have a gift for recognising scents, one whiff of Chanel and I can tell you if its number 5, Coco Mademoiselle or Allure....
