Bath and Body Works Hairworks Banana Mint Deep Treatment (lost!)

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Before Bath and Body Works created their own line of shampoo and conditioners to go with their signature scents, they had Hairworks. Which I LOVED.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I miss this product. Bath and Body Works Hairworks Banana Mint Deep Treatment was the first hair mask I’ve ever tried. It tamed my curls, moisturized and smelled amazing (assuming you like the smell of bananas).

As I was writing this post, I found it available on E-bay. However, since it has been several YEARS (maybe even a decade) since this was produced I won’t buy it. Neither should you. These products do have a shelf life. They do go bad.

In my search I did find a recipe for a more natural (the original was labeled natural, but wasn’t so much) version of this and will have to give it a try. I promise to keep you Pretties updated and let you know how it goes!

The Body Shop’s The Spirit of Moonflower (lost!)

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Another discontinued gem. The Spirit of Moonflower is a “A decidedly feminine spritz just right for moonlit nights.”

A very dear friend gave me my first Spirit of Moonflower set (shower gel, lotion and spray) as a gift in 2002. I sought it out every few months for a long time. Then, unfortunately, I did not live near a The Body Shop for too long, ran out and subsequently forgot about it. Until I was at The Body Shop recently and asked for it. Imagine my surprise when the clerk kindly told me they had discontinued it. At least they were gentle!

The notes in this fragrance are amazing. “Top: melon, green complex, coriander, gardenia Middle: lily of the valley, moonflower, lime blossom, cyclamen Base: jasmine, rose.” They meld very well on summer skin.

Goodbye, Spirit of Moonflower. I’ll miss you!

Victoria’s Secret Tranquil Breezes (lost!)

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Hello Pretties! Did you miss me? I’ve been beach side enjoying the sunshine and ocean breezes. But now I’m back and can’t wait to share with you some of my newest finds.

In the mean time, I want to cry over yet another lost beauty favorite of mine. Victoria’s Secret Tranquil Breezes. I love this scent. It was clean and fresh. A quick Google search indicates it was full of melon and cucumber and a light floral. Wonderful.

You might be wondering why, I’m just now getting to this one. Well, my beautiful friends, it seems Victoria’s Secret heard some of our cries and came up with a similar scent!

As soon as our local store gets it in, I’ll test it and let you know what I think.

Stay Pretty!
