Hey everyone! I hardly post now but I wanted to get active again in the boards! I thought I'd start by posting my October sale order! I only got a couple items (: most of them being the newer bath and body items! As some of you know I purchase everything in alphabetical order! (: so that's why I got the scents that I did! I'll make sure to update this thread as I use the items! Here's what I got! Shower fizzies: Abercrombie and Fitch Amber romance Anjou pear Aquolina blue sugar Back roadin Whipped soap: Badedas (I really love this scent so far!) Candles: Surprise candle (the top layer smells like some kind of pumpkin!) Free scent shots! For some reason I received two of them! Pink sugar and coconut (one of my favorite CBV scents!) Magnolia blossom!

Great order! Thank you for pictures I absolutely LOVE Badedas! Anjou Pear smells so pretty to me in the scent shot I have (not melted). I think it may be favorite pear scent but it's a close win. How do you like Back Roadin'? I order one out of curiosity and I'm a little nervous it will be too masculine. Your shower fizzies are so pretty! They look like fancy chocolates

I haven't smelled Badedas yet but the soap color looks so pretty. I also have to applaud you for being such a brave soul and ordering in alphabetical order. It really is such a unique way to try CBV. Can't wait to see what you think of the shower fizzies once you use them!

I love her new scent shot labels! I do too!! I think it's so cute and I live the fact that there are instructions on there! I remember the first time I purchased from CBV I had no clue what to do with the scent shots!

They look like fancy chocolates I think from this entire order Anjou pear has to be my absolute favorite! Back roadin' kinda smells like leaves with a slight perfumey twist. It smells amazing and I'm not usually the type to like fall scents!

I'm actually really glad that the new website has all the scents in alphabetical order rather than have each category and then the scents listed alphabetically! It makes it so much more easier to try new categories!!

So I wanted to try the shower fizzies out for a but before putting my opinion on here! (: and so far I tried one of each scent from the order that I got!
Here's my review: Shower fizzies: I really like the concept of the product! The fizzies melted within 5 minutes of my shower. The thing that really disappointed me about the product was that I couldn't really smell anything unless I used one that was a stronger scent. Because of this I highly suggest you to purchase them only if the scent is strong.
The thing I really liked was the different colored foil! I don't know, each time I was opening one I felt like I was opening a present! The fizzies are also different colored depending on the scent!
What I did was throw them in the shower and stand there for a couple minute enjoying the scent before I started washing my hair and such. I did this because I wanted to enjoy the scent but as soon as I put the shampoo on my head I could no longer smell the product ):
I think I'll continue to purchase the product just because I like enjoying the scent for the first couple minutes of my shower.
Scents: Abercrombie and Fitch (Blue): this is one of those scents that remind me of when I was younger. My best friend absolutely loved this store so I would also go in there! It's a dead on dupe for the cologne!
Amber romance (orange): this one is also a dupe for Victoria secret's Amber Romance. I was shocked to actually like this scent just because the VS one gives me a headache! I wanted to try it anyways because sometimes a scent can turn out better or worse than the dupe. In this case I found it better! I thought it was a little sweeter and less perfumey than the real thing. I literally sat there comparing my sisters lotion and the shower fizzy! I think this is one of those scents I would probably hate in wax form but love in bath and body form!
Anjou pear (green): my absolute favorite from the bunch! This is just a refreshing fruity scent that I like everyone would love! I love this scent so much I can definitely see myself purchasing it in every bath and body product available at CBV!
Aquolina Blue Sugar (blue): like the amber romance bath fizzy I was really hesitant to try this scent. In wax form I never really had the best of luck with this scent. For some reason in smells peppery to me in wax form but in bath and body it's a different story. This is definitely more cologne like than pink sugar but to me the undertones of the scent are pretty similar. I suggest only purchasing this if you like cologne type scents
Back Roadin' (orange): I believe this is one of the newer scents on the site. I actually had no clue about that until everything arrived. ((I honestly try not the read the scent description of the product until I receive it so I don't discriminate. Lol). If I remember correctly, this is a more fall type scent.
This scent honestly reminds me of leaves type with a perfumey twist. I'm usually not a huge fan of fall scents but I would definitely repurchase this in wax and bath and body form! I think anyone who loves leaves needs to get their hands on this scent
That's it for now folks! I'll try to update you guys once I use the whipped soap or if I try any of her products! (:

Thanks for the review!
The only reason I'm hesitating with the shower fizzies is I don't know how I will like their scent mixing with the scent of my shower gel and hair products.

Mandy I have Scentless, Jasmine scented and Cinnamon scented Shower Gels for Winter so my first Shower Fizzies were Melissa's Pumpkin Pie Spice, Night Blooming Jasmine and Pink Cupcake for my Birthday. So you can coordinate your fragrances.
