This is perhaps dangerous information for me to reveal where it can be misused– specific packaging design and ingredients can cause me to spontaneously buy product as if in a trance.
I walked into Victoria’s Secret the other day with no intention of buying any beauty product. In a store filled with wildly colored fruity scented bath and body product, I was immediately attracted to a tiny display of the comparatively bland in appearance spa collection. For some reason, sleek and unassuming packaging always catches my eye more than the loud and obvious style of product like "Beauty Rush" pictured at left.
Then I read the label of the Body Scrub. Sugar and Coffee Bean? Coffee is my kryptonite. I’m obsessed with coffee in every way, and love to buy beauty product containing coffee. I grabbed the jar and headed to the register.
At home, I was surprised this scrub smelled nothing like sugar or coffee. It smelled of perfume, a somewhat negative surprise, but the scent was fresh and clean. Victoria’s Secret Spa Intensive Body Scrub is powerful stuff. Unlike gentle scrubs used on the face, this product means business. It made my rough elbows and knees softer after only one use.
I purchased this product at full price ($18), but their entire Spa line is currently on sale for 50% off (ironically, they are likely changing the packaging)! Sadly, their online store appears to be out of this product at the time of publication! Be sure to check this one out in-store for $9, or snag another item from their Spa line!
