With Winter not entirely gone yet...I felt I needed a little cheering up. I hate driving in snow (thick, slushy snow). So I pulled out my nail polish filled drawer and I grabbed the first one that caught my eye. I decided to go with Barry M's Berry Icecream nail polish. It's a lovely creme pastel lilac shade.
With two coats of polish... this is what you get. True opacity....topped off with Seche Vite dry fast top coat (a must).
I could have left it at one coat for a more subtle pastel lilac, but I really wanted the color to pop- so two coats did the job!
It's pretty ain't it?!! I also hauled a few other Barry M nail polishes too. Watch my February haul video (below) to see the other polishes I own. Thanks for reading!
Carried Away is Bath and Body Works' newest scent from their Signature collection series. Straight from the website:
Our exclusive Signature Body Lotion formula, fortified with powerful ingredients like super conditioning Shea Butter, fast absorbing Jojoba Oil and protective Vitamin E, hydrates skin with moisture that lasts all day. Our non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and completely to leave skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth and nourished, making it the perfect daily moisturizer.
Our exclusive new Romantic fragrance, Carried Away, is inspired by the way love sweeps you off your feet
Key Fragrance Notes: Lush Raspberries, White Jasmine and Whipped Vanilla
Packaging: I LOVE the packaging and label. It is a very prettily designed Spring theme with blue skies, white clouds with pink, lilac and red flowers. The Carried Away name itself is very inviting.
Scent: The raspberries scent is definitely the strong note. This scent reminds me a lot of Sun-Ripened Raspberries, if any of you remember that scent- but the good thing is you also get a whiff of the other Vanilla and Jasmine top notes too.
Texture/Color: The body lotion is the usual creamy white whipped texture. Not too thick and not runny. Very easy to apply. The fragrance mist is a very lightly tinted sky blue color (not sure if it's the bottle that is tinted or if it's the actual mist, but it sure looks pretty).
Overall, it is a very nice fresh spring-like scent. It's not too heavy and strong and it has a succulent fruity smell (yet it isn't too sweet). I picked up my own travel size 2 fl oz body lotion and 3 fl oz fragrance mist a few days before the official launch (which was February 7, 2011).
This isn't my favorite B&BW scent ever, but it is a nice addition to my little stash. I'm not a huge fan of B&BW scents, I mean I like a few of them (being Midnight Pomegranate, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Sweet Pea), but I don't like scented lotions or body mists on an every day basis anyhow. I'm more of a perfume kind-of-gal. Check it out the next time you're in B&BW! You might just end up liking it too. =)
As always, thanks for reading ladies! ~Lisa
