My Experience with Bath and Body Works Velvet Sugar Body Lotion:

The “Velvet sugar” range is rated as one of the best scents that Bath and body works has to offer, so how could I miss it? Hence, I got this super cute lotion to try 

Packaging: The B&BW velvet sugar lotion comes in a very pretty bottle loaded with baby pink coloured lotion. It is accompanied with a metallic pink cap which makes it look even more gorgeous. The bottle has a perfect girly label with heart and coloured laces over it. It also has a cute pink cushion couch in the background. I love how B&BW keeps the packaging always so attractive. The bottle is loaded with the cream and the quantity is great, but it is light-weight and hence can be easily carried around in the bag. The cap opens and closes with a press hence no worries of it spilling around!

Texture, Consistency and Fragrance: The lotion comes in a very cute baby pink colour. The consistency is neither thick nor runny. It is just perfect as a body cream especially for winters. It comes out smooth and gets layered on my skin even smoother. It feels a little cool when I apply it. I don’t have to massage it a lot because it gets absorbed almost instantly during the colder days. But during the summers, it might feel a little heavy and greasy on the skin initially.

The scent is definitely the best part about BB&W lotions! Oh my God, the scent just transferred me to a different world! It transferred me to a world of creams and strawberries where the little strawberry shortcake lives. The smell is extremely fruity, sugary and sweet. It opens up with a sweet scent of wild strawberries like a strawberry milkshake loaded with frosty sugar. And I can eat it with a red velvet cake. That is what the blend is about. It has fresh and frosty hints of freesia and plums which makes it a better scent for me. The base is a creamy amber vanilla one which adds that muskiness to the fragrance. The scent is extremely girly and people around will like smelling you! It is a perfect one for summers and winters too! But it is a scent which is very syrupy and not everyone will like this. It portrays a very fun, crazy girly image of a woman. The scent screams that the girl will do what she wants, and does what she loves to do. It so screams my personality 

Results and Staying Power: It gives an instant boost of hydration to my skin which makes my skin look fresh and bouncy. I can feel the softness and the supple touch after using this. It keeps my skin hydrated for 7-8 hours and then a little re-application is needed. It is good for winters too as it works good for normal and dry skin both. The scent stays for 2-3 hours and then only a faint scent lingers on my skin.
Overall, I am loving all the wintery lotions from Bath and body works and now I am going to start stocking up on summery scents now!
