I can't wait for the vanilla and ice cream sent. I hope they don't change the packaging too much. I think now its super cute!

DeleteWe have that brand here (Canada) I've yet to try it, but the packaging we have is the same as you've shown.
ReplyDeleteWe have these in Canada (haven't tried them yet, though!) and the design is the same as above. Hopefully they won't change the packaging for the US release!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Philosophy to me. ???
ReplyDeleteWowww, blatant ripoff of Philosophy/The Body Shop.
ReplyDeleteKimberly and Anita Rose - that is EXACTLY what I thought too! Obvi tho its way cheaper...wonder if they smell as realistic as Philosophy does...
ReplyDeleteI was interested after I saw one of my fav YouTubers using it. I may try it out. I wonder when exactly they're going to hit Walmart and then if it'll be all Walmarts. Hmm! I think we'd see it faster if Target was on the retailer list.
