Haul : Bath & Body Works Body-Care Essentials Paris Amour Range

Hi All,


Hope you all are doing good!

Today I am going to share my Bath & Body Works haul.I had recently visited the Bath & Body Works store and I must say as usual all the products in the store looked very beautiful and amazing.

The products from the Sweet Pea and Pink Chiffon ranges from the Bath & Body Works are my all time favorites.

I had used the body mist from the Paris amour range earlier as well.But,this time I thought of checking out some other products as well from the Paris Amour range. :)

So,let's starts with the haul...shall we?

About Paris Amour Range:
"From Paris, with love! Like a romantic stroll through the City of Love, Paris Amour is a dreamy blend of French tulips with a pop of pink champagne"

Snapshot of the products that I purchased:
                                            


Shower-Gel:
Price : AED 30
Quantity  : 88ml
                                          
    

This is the first product that I picked.The beautiful fuschia-pink theme caught my attention instantly.

The shower gel is nice and smells amazing.It contains shea-butter & Vitamin-E.These ingredients are famous for keeping the skin hydrated and smooth.

The shower-gel is cool and lathers-up easily and cleanses the skin nicely. Did'nt experience any dryness.The bottle is very cute and travel-friendly!

"Wash your way to softer, cleaner skin with a rich, bubbly lather bursting with fragrance. Moisturizing Aloe Vera and Vitamin E combine with skin-loving Shea Butter in our most irresistible, beautifully fragranced formula!"

Body-Lotion:
Price : AED 30
Quantity : 88ml

                                                      


The next product is a body-lotion from the Paris Amour range.

This body-lotion is amazingly creamy & smooth in texture.It has a running-consistency and gets absorbed into the skin quickly leaving the skin soft!I love the fragrance of the body lotion and it has a very floral-fragrance(tulips).
Also,as mentioned on the bottle the product contains shea-butter,Vitamin E & Vitamin B5 which are really good for the skin.The body-lotion is not greasy...truely!...love

"America's #1 Body Lotion! Infused with Shea Butter and our exclusive Daily Moisture Complex, our enhanced lotion contains more of what skin loves, leaving it feeling incredibly soft, smooth and nourished. Fortified with nutrient-rich ingredients like protective Vitamin E and conditioning Vitamin B5, our fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula delivers 16 hours of continuous moisture."

Body-Mist:
Price : AED 35
Quantity : 88ml
                                                    


Oh My God! I'm in love with this body mist.The body-mist works effectively when we use it in combination with the shower-gel and the body-lotion.The body-mist has a very pleasant(floral) fragrance that soothes the senses and the longevity of the body mist is about 4hrs when used on its own.

"Lavishly splash or lightly spritz your favorite fragrance, either way you'll fall in love at first mist! Our carefully crafted bottle and sophisticated pump delivers great coverage while conditioning aloe mist nourishes skin for the lightest, most refreshing way to fragrance!"

Hand-Wash:
Price : AED 40
Quantity : 259ml
                                                    

Fourth product is a hand-soap from the Paris Amour range!
A hand-wash is used everyday and a daily-necessity and I wanted to try this perfumed hand-wash.
I am yet to try this one out.Gotta check if it keeps dirt at bay.
Shall keep you posted.But,nonetheless it smells awesome had checked out the tester.

"This powerful germ-killing hand soap is enriched with an exclusive moisturizing blend to help hydrate and soften skin as powerful ingredients leave dirty hands clean and lightly scented with French tulips, apple blossoms and sparkling pink champagne. An exclusive blend of moisturizing honey, coconut milk and olive fruit extracts helps to nourish and soften skin Exfoliating microspheres and cleansing bamboo extract leave hands deeply cleansed and feeling smooth and soft Lightly scented with French Tulips, Apple Blossoms and Pink Champagne"

Candle(medium):
Price : AED 40
                                                     


Last but not the least is a beautiful single-wick scented-candle from the range.It's from the  Signature Collection.The packaging looks lovely and feminine...beautiful!

Product Details:
  • Burns between 20-30 hours
  • Exclusive blend of vegetable-wax
  • Lead-free wick!


I sniffed this scented-candle and felt really amazed.It also, has the same fragrance just like all the products from this range...seriously awesome.Expecting rosy aromatic-effect once used...let's see.Will keep you posted.

Update : It's an okish product.You might choose to skip it!



The packaging of these products is travel-friendly which is a very important factor when you are planning to carry them along anywhere.

Overall,I am liking the Paris Amour range from the Bath & Body Works.

My Experience:

My skin type:Normal to dry

Packaging:

  • The shower-cream body wash comes in a bottel-packaging that has a flip-open lid
  • The bottle is made up of plastic and the product can be seen through it.So,we can easily check out if the product is getting over or not and re-stock
  • Bottle needs to be squeezed in order to use the product
  • The bottle is very much travel-friendly
  • The packaging is done nicely and all the product-details are mentioned on the bottle itself like the ingredients,shelf-life etc

                                     


Formula & Texture:
  • The body shower-cream has a creamy-consistency.Kind of runny unlike other usual
    shower-gels in the market because it's a cream-based body-cleanser
  • The product is of cream-colour
  • The shower-cream has a mild shea-butter-caramelly kind of fragrance which is pleasant...I love it
  • The shower-cream doesn't lather up much and this is because it is soap-free,which is good thing
  • It is very different from other shower-gel body-cleansers that I have used so far...very nourishing...can feel the difference instantly right after first-usage!!!😇

                                       

Effective?
  • Yes,this shower-cream cleanses the skin well
  • It leaves skin silky-smooth and nourished because of the key ingredients shea-butter and sesame oil...simply amazing
  • Although, I use a body-lotion post shower,but,still this product is very nice and haven't experienced skin-dryness after using this shower-cream
  • Keeps skin healthy,no flakiness or irritation etc... isn't that awesome?
  • Very suitable for people with dry skin-type ...this product is a bliss!

Con:
Nothing


Will I re-purchase?
Yes,definitely!



Note:
Product in one bottle lasts for a month or 1.5 months approximately.As the product is soap-free and won't lather-up much(which I am ok with), we need to squeeze-out more product than usual amount of a shower-gel.
