There are times like Monday mornings when taking a shower and getting ready for work can be a mammoth task. Well, if I could, I would ask work and other menial things to take a hike and sleep through the day but unfortunately no one pays me for sleeping. So I try and find things that would “motivate” me to take a shower and head to work. One of those money-can-buy motivators is the Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Shower Gel.

The fragrance is AMAZING!! If you love the scent of vanilla, then you would want to drench yourself in this particular body wash because it smells that good!! The sugary sweet scent is fairly strong and I personally find it to be a match made in heaven for me! Every morning, I alternate between The Body Wash Brazil Nut Shower Gel and this one and both seem to be on par, in terms of fragrance.
If there is one negative I have to point out, the fragrance does not last for a long time which is a bummer. Again, that may vary from person to person but on me it lasts for approximately 2 hours.

When it comes to things apart from fragrance, this one scores well! The shower gel is of a neither-liquid-nor-gel like consistency. It lathers well and gives you a clean (but not squeaky clean) feeling after use. I find a few body washes difficult to wash off and despite efforts, a slick oily feeling is left behind which I absolutely detest. This body wash, thankfully requires minimal efforts to wash off and when used with The Body Shop exfoliating gloves, it is heaven!!
This particular body wash moisturizes to a certain extent but isn’t as moisturizing as I expected it to be (looks can be deceiving!!) but that isn’t something that would stop me from repurchasing it.
