Calgon's 2010 Makeover (plus new products!)

A little while ago I showed you some pics of the newly-redesigned Calgon collection (if you missed it, click here). I was lucky enough to recently receive some new Calgon products to try, but instead of just showing you the products, I have to first show you how these products arrived to me, because it's just so darned cute!

Four of Calgon's newest products came to me tucked inside this little bag:

It's a mini travel bag, complete with its own luggage tag. How cute is this?

OK, thanks for letting me share that with you--now on to the new products!

Calgon Bubbly Bath Fizzy Set (NEW) includes four bath fizzies and a sea sponge. Fragrances include: Morning Glory and English Garden (220 grams, retail: $2.99)

Calgon Refreshing Body Mist (new packaging). Fragrances include: Morning Glory, Hawaiian Ginger, Tahitian Orchid, Perfect Bliss, Tropical Dream, Cotton Candy, Vanilla Swirl, Marshmallow, Passion Fruit & Hibiscus, Paradise Flower & Brazil Nut, Moon Petal Musk (NEW), Cherry Blossom and Peach Blossom. (2 oz and 8oz, retail: $2.49 and $6.79)

Calgon Nourishing Body Cream (NEW). Fragrances include: Morning Glory, Hawaiian Ginger, Tahitian Orchid, Cotton Candy, Vanilla Swirl, Marshmallow, Passion Fruit & Hibiscus, Paradise Flower & Brazil Nut and Moon Petal Musk (NEW). (8 oz, retail: $4.79)

If you were a fan of Calgon's Body Lotion (click here to see the old lotion, which is still actually available in many retail locations and online) I don't think you're going to be disappointed with this new formula. One of the things that really surprised me is that, unlike many other scented body lotions that you can find at the drugstore, Calgon's new Nourishing Body Cream is not thin or watery, and it actually delivers on the moisture. It's formulated with Vitamins A and E and aloe, and it goes on smoothly and keeps my skin feeling soft (and smelling wonderful) for hours. If you're a fan of lotions that double as fragrance, I think you might like this one.

Also, I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but this was my very first experience with Calgon's Morning Glory scent! I usually gravitate toward Marshmallow when I reach for Calgon (which smells divine, btw) but I was pleasantly surprised to find that Morning Glory is a very clean, wearable fragrance which, for me, is an ideal "work scent" because it's just a soft, refreshing fragrance that I don't think would annoy anyone. I can't count how many times I've slathered on a lotion at work and had someone say, "Did someone just make cupcakes? What is that smell??" lol!

So what do you think of Calgon's new products and packaging? Do you have a favorite Calgon fragrance? I'd love to hear from you!
