Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean is a Study in Fragrances of the Past

Purchased
I purchased this item.
5 stars out of 5

I picked up the “new” Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Fragrance Mist and Body Lotion on Tuesday when I ventured out to see what the Semi-Annual Sale had to offer. I actually walked out of the store with a lot more than I thought I’d buy even though the sale pretty much sucked.

Gosh, remember Semi-Annual Sales back in the day? It was such a freaking array of wonderful things! Nowadays it’s sort of limited to body washes, body lotions, mists, and a few select candles. But back in the day the entire store was on sale with tons of back stock from the Holidays. You’d find Halloween accessories, candle holders from Christmas, many, many seasonal body care and fragrance items. It was REALLY a good sale.

Now it seems like most of the sale item are really recent items and the “retired” fragrances they bring back seem like they are ALWAYS the same.

But I admit to coming out of the store with a lot more than I thought I’d buy. I think I got about four candles one of which was Paris Cafe that’s really quite a strong coffee sent and Italy which is a nice chocolate-y scent as well as the newest Summer scents like Root Beer Float and Banana Split. I also grabbed a few body mists and lotions one of which was Vanilla Bean.

Benefit Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation is a new lightweight formula that blurs the appearance of flaws while providing light coverage and I’m personally thrilled about the launch. Benefit brings us this new foundation formula in 12 shade selections for $29 each at 1 oz in size.

They are obviously influenced by Japanese foundation formulas with this packaging and fluid formula. You might have read a few reviews I’ve done in the past of similiar products such as Lunasol Modeling Beige Skin and Shiseido InteGrate Mineral Water Foundation Liquid. Fluid foundation is very common in Japan and most every brand has a version that comes housed in the same exact packaging as Benefit’s new Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation.

This also reminds me of one of my HG foundations the wonderful, brilliant Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation! Let’s hope it’s formulated as well!

L’Oreal Mickey Mouse Color Riche Matte Lipstick ($5.99) have launched in five matte shades to celebrate everyone’s favorite mouse! Although, I imagine some of these shades would be more fitting for Minnie who does love a good red lip look!

The limited edition collection features matte black barrels with a cute silhouette of Mickey decorating the front.

Shades include:

  • Devil’s Matte-vocate Red
  • Matte-caron
  • Doesn’t Matte-r
  • Matte-ly in Love
  • Matte Mandate

I think we need all the shades!

L’Oreal Mickey Mouse Color Riche Matte Lipstick are available now at target.com.

I don’t like mattes but I’m all, “Well, I’m headed to Disney in a month!” That’s a good excuse right?!?!? I need Mickey lipstick for that trip! Justifying my purchase here!
