Bath and Body Works Secret Wonderland Body Lotion
Hi IMBB beauties, Today I am going to review a body lotion by Bath and Body works. I am quite an ardent fan of this brand and own a few body lotions, body creams and lip glosses by it, but all these things have been gifted to me by my near and dear ones :toothygrin: Though I love all the body lotions which I have from this line but the one which I am going to review today, secret wonderland, is not liked by me. Why?

Please read on:

Product being reviewed: Bath and Body Works Secret Wonderland Body Lotion.

What’s written on the bottle: Our exclusive signature body lotion formula, fortified with powerful ingredients like super conditioning Shea Butter, fast absorbing jojoba oil and protective Vitamin E hydrates skin with moisture that lass all day. Our non greasy formula absorbs quickly and completely to leave skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth and nourished, making it the perfect daily moisturiser.

Smooth over the body to moisturize and lightly fragrance skin with our exclusive Secret Wonderland, frosted jasmine petals and white amber inspired by a world you never dreamed existed.

Price/ Packaging/ Quantity
I have no idea about its price since it was a gift. It comes in a sturdy transparent bottle with a silver cap and the cap has BBW embossed in one of the corners. It is quite like a standard BBW lotion packaging. Again the problem which I faced was that it dint have a stopper at the top to control the amount of lotion, I always end up taking more than required. The quantity which they are giving is 236ml or 8 FL OZ

My take on Bath and Body Works Secret Wonderland Body Lotion

Like all other BBW lotions which I own this one is also very moisturising and gets absorbed quickly in the skin. It is a pure white coloured lotion and the consistency is on the thicker side. Well now, why I don’t like it? It is because of the fragrance; it smells sweet and reminds me of babool chewing gum which I used to eat as a kid. Apart from this, I have no problem with the lotion but the fragrance is just not my type and it puts me off. Although it contains shea butter and jojoba oil which are considered excellent to make the skin soft and smooth still I dont use this lotion because of the weird chewing gum smell. The fragrance lingers for a good 2-3 hours. Also, it doesn’t have a stopper at the top which is again a turn off.

Pros of Bath and Body Works Secret Wonderland Body Lotion

1. Contains shea butter and jojoba oil.
2. Very moisturising.
3. Gets absorbed to the skin quickly.
4. Not tested on animals.
5. Leaves skin soft and supple.

Cons of Bath and Body Works Secret Wonderland Body Lotion

1. It smells of chewing gum which I dint like at all :nababana:
2. Not available in India.
3. Contains parabens and alcohol :pan:

IMBB Rating: 4 out of 5

Will I buy again? No, I will buy Night blooming jasmine lotion from the same range.

P.S: Fragrances are very personal in nature, some of you may like it. It’s just my personal opinion that I don’t like this lotion because of the fragrance otherwise it does the job of moisturising really well.
