Shower Post #1: Moonalisa Coffee Butter Scrub; Lathers & Lights April Showers Shower Creme; Moonalisa Strawberry Sugar Shortcake Bubbling Bath Brew; Blooddrop Milk & Honey Softening Soak; BPTP L'Eau de Engouement Bath Oil; Moonalisa Strawberry Sugar Shortcake Bath Truffle

I'm thinking of occasionally posted what I'm using in my shower since I change them so frequently. Here's the 1st:

~ Mixed a bath with Moonalisa Strawberry Sugar Shortcake Bubbling Bath Brew- lots of bubbles like the Grapefruit Haven, initial strawberry NesQuik scent (which I loved) but again faded quickly. I probably won't buy anymore of these bath powders. The bubbles are great but I just can't justify the price.

~ Added Blooddrop Milk & Honey Softening Soak. Awww, I finished my bottle. I love this stuff. It makes the water milky and creamy (but no real scent), lasted probably 5-6 baths for $15. Unfortunately, she's sold out of this. I think it   was for the winter release and hopefully it comes back.

~ Added BPTP L'Eau de Engouement Bath Oil because I wanted more scent. Scent description is: pink strawberries, sugarcane and candyfloss. It added a light sweet pink strawberry scent. My whole bath smelled like the color pink really. Really springy and a very light strawberry (kinda artificial but like sniffing one of those strawberry-scented toys or strawberry milk- kinda enjoyable, strangely enough). This was from the 2012 Lupercalia release (Bath oils last forever! It only takes a tiny amount to scent a bath or cover my entire body)

~ Lathers & Lights April Showers Shower Creme- I got this in one of my sampler packs. Scent description: carnation, lily, white grapefruit, jasmine, tuberose, cyclamen, violet, vanilla beans, E Indian sandalwood, rose crystals, sexy musk.
Actually, I got a slightly floral aquatic. Nothing else really but it was very pretty and fresh smelling. I really like it. I would re-order, especially as a shower product scent.

~ Moonalisa Coffee Butter Scrub. I got this in the winter release and I have 1 more use of it. It's a perfect scrub for me, very scrubby! Has lots of ground coffee beans in it and a strong coffee scent. It also leaves a very thin barrier on my skin afterwards which is nice if you don't want to apply more lotion but it's thin enough that you can without it interfering. I would reorder in a heartbeat, I'm glad it wasn't LE.

~ I received a Moonalisa Strawberry Sugar Shortcake Bath Truffle in one of the Easter baskets I ordered. I was going to add it to my bath but I read on the Moonalisa forum that it could be used as a moisturizer as well since it was purely cocoa butter with scent. The truffle was about 1/4 the size of my hand and it covered my entire body and then some. I'm serious. I melted instantly (I applied it immediately after my shower). The strawberry milk scent was very strong and lasted hours even until the next morning. The cocoa butter was extremely moisturizing and very greasy. Since I applied this after my shower in the evening, the greasiness was fine but I wouldn't suggest this for daytime use. Can't wait to try my others. I hope she starts selling these.

  1. The Coffee Butter Scrub sounds amazing. I'll need to buy it next time she offers it.
