I bought The Body Bakery's Pat-a-Cake Hand Cream in Peppermint Vanilla Latte and Banana Cream Pie. They both smell great! The Peppermint Vanilla Latte is cooling on my hands. The consistancy is more like a lotion but it moisturizes like a cream. It's not greasy or sticky. It's the hand lotion I use during the day, I use philosophy's handmade hand cream at night. For a daily hand cream The Body Bakery's is nice but not if you have very dry hands. It's a good , light hand lotion to use in the warmer weather.
I bought Whipped Cream from The Body Bakery and I use it all the time. I bought it in Strawberry Parfait and Marshmallow Fluff, the Strawberry Parfait is my favorite so far. It smell like a sweet strawberry milkshake. The Mashmallow Fluff smells just like the real thing but not as strong. It's consisancy is good, like a nice, fluffy cream. Not geasy and absorbs well without "pilling" up when you rub your skin after it dries. For me it's the perfect product, high quality. The customer service is great! I got my order the smae week I placed it.
Pros:good quality and not fake smelling Cons:could be a bit stronger scented
I had this in a sample, and I'm very glad I hadn't purchased the full size! From the beginning there is a strange note. Not quite plastic, but something that just makes it "off." The scent keeps the off note through application and then dries down to a cookie scent, but very light, and doesn't last long at all. The cream is light and a bit greasy which is tolerable in a scent I enjoy, but not this. What a shame, I had heard good things. Oh well, it's too expensive anyway!
Pros: Cons:plasticky scent, too pricey, scents dont last
Let me clarify - I would buy this again in a different scent. I have Creamy Frosting, and in the tube it smells nice, but on, after a few minutes, it smells like sour milk, and is the most wretched, disgusting scent in the world. I had to wipe it off and then rub my wrists and neck and behind my ears and clevage with rubbing alcohol to get rid of the smell and texture. I am hoping this is limited to this scent, because I almost threw up. I would be willing to try this in a different scent and see if it's any better, but this one is just gross.
Comes in a cute, jumbo-sized lip-balm tube-style packaging, and has the signature Body Bakery label.
Ooh, I am gagging at the thought of my experience this morning - I'd better stop thinking about it.
Pros:Good concept - solid fragrance in a jumbo lip balm-style tube. Cons:CREAMY FROSTING FRAGRANCE STINKS! Ugh, I want to throw up every time I think about it.
im not entirely sure that i like this product. ill use up what i have, and in theory i would buy more.
i have banana cream pie (which is *The best* banana scent ive found yet.) and creme brulee (which is almost identical to MMUs creme brulee.)
the sticks seem rather hard and dry, but i find that they distribute just the right amount of product without having to run it over your skin a zillion times.
my only gripe is the packaging. what were they thinking? its a cylindrical stick, like deodorant, but it doesnt twist or click up. the product slides up and down in its own tray, free from the outer packaging. because of this, you have to attempt to keep the proper amount exposed by bracing the tray with your finger, struggling to keep it from sliding out of reach.
im not too concerned that its unsanitary, since im the only one using it, and i wont be swapping it away, but finding sweater fuzz on the stick is a bit gross.
all in all, this is a decent product which is worth a try, especially if you know youll like the scents. at $7.00, its a cheaper alternative to their lotions, which are $16.00 for 4 oz. i think the price of the butter sticks has gone down since i last checked.
this is a nice lotion that goes on well without being greasy. its very moisturizing, and sinks in quickly. its pretty thin for a lotion, and i expected it to be thicker, since its a "cream."
the scent is delicious, but very similar to MMUs creme brulee. of the two, i would choose MMU. MMU she she butter is the consistency that i wish this lotion was.
i find TBB products to be pricey for the amount you get. the quality is nice, but its just too pricey when there are better or comparable products to be had for less money.
