Review: Bath & Body Works Lunch Box Bundle

I don't even want to get into how long it's been since I was in school (put it this way: I graduated from college when MAC was still a "new and mysterious" young cosmetics brand). But something about this week has got me in full back-to-school mode, as evidenced by my need to turn a school supply into a nail sticker organizer.

Anyway, these Bath & Body Works Lunch Box PocketBacs are just too cute, aren't they?

 Bath & Body Works Lunch Box Bundle

(retail: $7.50 for the set of five; 1.0 oz per bottle)

If you're interested in picking up the entire Lunch Box Bundle, I want to make sure you know that it's currently on sale on the BBW website for $5. That's a nice deal since the regular price is $7.50. I wish I knew if this deal was going on in-store as well, because I'd tell you to check it out if you're already planning on attending the Paris Amour Event this Saturday.

Let's take a look at each scent, shall we?

 Marshmallow Treat

I LOVE marshmallow scents, especially if they're not the usual toasted marshmallow. And it's even better if it's a marshmallow krispie type of scent, which is exactly why this one's my favorite of the bunch. I get the ooey gooey marshmallow note, and I also get the cereal note in this one. LOVE it. 

(Note: don't expect these anti-bacs to smell fantastic straight out of the bottle, because you're always going to get a strong alcohol note at first. After you apply them to your hands, give them a minute or two for the fragrance to develop--and for the alcohol to fade--and sniff again. It should be much more yummy that way.)

 PB & J

I love that the color inside the bottle looks exactly like raspberry jelly! Anyway, this one is going to smell strongly of berry at first, but after a minute or two on the skin, the peanut butter will slowly make its way to your nose.

 Juice Box

This one is extremely authentic! I swear, it smells exactly like a fruit punch juice box to me. BBW, how do you do it?

 Honey Pretzel

I don't normally think of honey pretzels when I think of lunch boxes, but this one smells a lot like kettle corn to me at first. After about five minutes on the skin, I get more of that honey note and it starts to smell more pretzel-y. This one's probably the strongest and longest-lasting fragrance of the five.

Bag of Grapes

I got excited thinking this was going to be a green grape scent (based on the color of the liquid) but to my sniffer, it lies somewhere in between the usual candy-type grape we all know and love (purple/red grapes) and real green grapes. It's hard for me explain, but it's almost like a softer candy-grape scent just a touch of a more fresh, green note to it.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget that you can pick these up for $5 right now on the BBW site (regular price: $7.50) if you're interested.
