Lathers & Lights Flip Flops Body Yogurt; Lathers & Lights Lychee Tea Dry Oil Mist; Lathers & Lights Cantaloupe Lily Dry Oil Mist

Tonight's testing combo included a sample packet of Lathers & Lights Flip Flops Body Yogurt.
Official scent description- Tropical coconut and rich vanilla, the perfect scent for a day on the beach!

I already posted my feelings on the body yogurt (very nice but I prefer richer body butters) and my Cinco de Mayo order included an Argan Infusion Hair Serum in Flip Flops. I wanted a neutral but summery scent that would go with any perfume or leftover conditioner scent. Coconut and vanilla sounded pretty neutral. The scent is definitely that suntan lotion scent I got from Coconut Breeze. It's almost a little nutty and definitely kinda artificial but I do like it (I just realized "definitely kinda" is an oxymoron). You know when you want to describe something as artificial suntan lotion but you mean it in the best possible way? That's how I feel about this. I glad I choose this scent for the hair serum. It's super light and won't conflict with anything. You could really wear this around people who don't like any scents.

I also used the dry oil mist from my Tea Party sampler. Full disclosure- I don't like lychee and I would never order this. However, it's also very light. The dry oil mist is so light itself that I had to rub it in to check that I got something on me. It dries ridiculously quickly and is completely non-greasy. I added a second coat just to make sure I got everywhere. This would be great for outdoors during the summer for a quick spritz of moisture. The scent is not heavy on the tea which I was expecting sure I briefly tried the Blackberry Tea Body Butter and the tea was a very strong black tea scent. I got a very light fruity scent. I couldn't identify it as lychee and that was a good thing in my book.

I used the Cantaloupe Lily a few days ago and raved about it on a bath & body forum. The dry oil mist is the same as above and again I wasn't thrilled to try this scent. I hate Bath & Body Works' melon scents. I mean I despise them. They smell like bad fruity pre-teen perfumes to me. So naturally, I thought I hated melon scents (BPAL's melon is also not-so-fun, I'm really not a fruity kinda girl). I do love white florals, including lily. This is wonderful, a pure melon scent (I wanted to say honeydew however) with a light white floral background which made it much more bearable. I really like this. I'll use the whole bottle (1oz goes a long way in these).

I love Lathers & Lights samplers because I get to try trial sizes of things I would never order in full ones. Plus I'm going on vacation & these are perfect sizes. I'm really excited for all the coconut items I ordered.
