Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst Shower Gel Review

Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst Shower Gel

Hi everybody!

The product I’m reviewing today is a shower gel that I’ve been using for quite some time and now that I’m half way through it, I thought it’s the best time to review it. The product is Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst shea enriched shower gel. Read on to find more about it.

Product description: Wash your way to softer, cleaner skin with a rich, bubbly lather bursting with fragrance. Moisturizing Aloe Vera and Vitamin E combine with skin-loving Shea Butter in our most irresistible, beautifully fragranced formula!

Inspired by chic, sensual and confident women, Black Amethyst is a hypnotic blend of Italian bergamot, rare camellias & exotic sandalwood
USAGE: Add a drop to wet sponge or damp cloth and wash with rich creamy lather.

My take on Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst shower gel:

The shower gel comes in a chic yet edgy packaging. The bottle is made of a good quality plastic. The front is in a deep purple color as is the shower gel inside. The cap closes tightly making it travel friendly.

This is a wonderful fragrance shower gel. A couple months ago, I was extremely into sweet floral fragrances so much so that now I’ve developed a total aversion to them. So the reason I picked up this shower gel in the Black Amethyst is because, from having owned the body mist in the same fragrance in the past, I know it’s anything but sweet. It is a very feminine scent, with mild undertones of spice, slightly floral and a little vanilla. It’s a great shower gel for times when you want to feel fresh, feminine and confident.The concept of ‘a little goes a long way’ doesn’t apply to this shower gel. I need a good quantity of shower gel every time and it still doesn’t lather like some other shower gels I’ve used, do. This is the biggest downside of this shower gel. I mean a shower gel/soap is totally useless if it doesn’t lather imo. The fragrance of the shower gel lasts for around an hour on me. The shower doesn’t make my skin any drier than it usually gets after applying shower gels. I haven’t noticed any allergies on my skin which is really pleasantly surprising since I have extremely sensitive skin and it often gets rashes when I use too much of shower gels.

Pros of Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst Shower Gel

• It has an amazing and addictive fragrance- mildly spicy and largely vanilla.
• It doesn’t smell sickly sweet, which I like.
• Sturdy and travel friendly packaging.
• The fragrance lasts on me for almost an hour. And in that hour, I just keep sniffing it because it smells so awesome
• Cruelty free; not tested on animals. 😀
• It’s enriched with shea butter which is a great moisturizer for skin.
• Doesn’t cause any rash/redness on my (extremely) sensitive skin like some other shower gels I’ve used in the past caused.
• Enriched with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil
• Parabens-free.

Cons of Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst Shower Gel

• Biggest bummer about this shower gel is that it does not lather at all.
• Gets all greasy on skin
• A little does NOT go a long way.
• Kind of expensive in India, since in the US, there are always deals going on, on bath and body works like buy 3 get 3 free etc.
• Lastly, people who like sweet floral fragrances can skip it.

Will I repurchase it/ do I recommend Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst Shower Gel ?

I won’t repurchase it but I will surely purchase a body mist in same fragrance because it smells amazing. And no, I do not recommend bath and body works shower gels. But since everything at Bath and body works smells so heavenly, so I recommend other products like fragrance lotions and body mists.

  1. Oh no! What a dud! But the scent sounds amazing, Trisha! I am going to look for this range and get the body mist, as you suggest. Great review! 🙂
