Originally posted when this line was new… I have since fallen in love with anything and everything Jaqua. But I must admit, Pink Potion remains a favorite scent. Particularly in the spring and summer months!
As children, my sister and I would entertain ourselves on rainy Sunday afternoons by making our own perfumes. Generally simple formulas of soap chips and water, we imagined our bathroom apothecary to be the source of magical and unique fragrances.
How jealous I am of the Jaqua sisters, for turning this sisterly bonding fantasy into their adult reality! Originally in the spa and entertainment industries, the sisters banded together to form Jaqua, a line of decadent and luxe bath and body products.
Jaqua Beauty has recently introduced the Pink Potion collection, which includes a Sinfully Rich Cocoa Body Butter ($22), Shower Creme ($18), Luscious Lotion ($16) and Hand Creme ($8). Pink Potion is currently available on the Jaqua website, and will be available in stores September 2007. A portion of the proceeds of every sale from this line will be donated to Breast Cancer research.
How to describe the scent in a way you can appreciate it online… Close your eyes. Imagine being asked a very strange question: "What does the color pink SMELL like?" The scent your mind will concoct as an answer is exactly how Pink Potion smells. The notes used include jasmine, tuberose, clove and Indian Mimosa. The result is decidedly sweet, a bit flowery, and oh-so girlie.
Jaqua’s customer list is a veritable who’s who of Hollywood. Proving one thing– Jaqua Pink Potion is the perfect (yet reasonably priced) gift for the woman who has EVERYTHING.
Retailers include Ulta, Planet Beauty, and the Jaqua website.
Bliss sells an array of beauty products that would keep any makeup lover entertained for hours. Well, you can score up to 50% off of certain items online!

Your baby’s sensitive skin needn’t mean skipping the fun of a bubble bath, but many formulas available contain ingredients that irritate the skin of sensitive babies. Luckily, California Baby’s Aromatherapy Bubble Bath formula is as gentle as their body wash, and comes in both scented and fragrance free versions.
If your baby is normally sensitive to fragrance, don’t despair. The scents offered by California Baby are fueled by essential oils, not synthetic fragrances. So even sensitive babies (like mine) can handle it. This product is also free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and DEA, ensuring it’s extra gentle for sensitive skin.
I love the scent choices so much, I can actually see buying these for years to come, even for my own use! The current collection includes: Calming (a French Lavender scent to induce sleep), Overtired and Cranky (tangerine, sweet orange and chamomile), Light & Happy (a personal favorite- a citrus blend that lifts the spirits), Colds & Flu (Douglas Fir and Eucalyptus– great for congestion), Chamomile & Herbs (Geranium, Sweet Orange and Chamomile) and I Love You (Ylang Ylang and Sweet Orange).
I recently sampled the "I Love You" fragrance with my little man, and loved the delightfully invigorating sweet scent. Nothing says "I Love You" more to a toddler than allowing bubble-blowing fun during bath-time with the two bubble blowing wands included in each bottle.
A 13 oz. bottle of California Baby Aromatherapy Bubble Bath retails for $12.50. A portion of the proceeds from sales of "I Love You" products are donated to Breast Cancer Research Programs! Click HERE to check it out at California Baby website.
