Curtain Call: Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap
Hey Guys! Another Curtain Call segment for y’all today! Today’s post covers one of the most popular products from Bath & Body Works. Here’s Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap. I usually stock up on these during either their semi-annual sale or their hand soap sales (like right now…get 5 for $15 or 7 for $20!).
At 8.75 fl oz / 259 ml, $5 is pretty decent for the amount and quality you’re getting. They have a lot of scents to choose from varying from fruity to floral. The scent featured in this post is Tropical Passionfruit. I’m not sure if this scent is still in production, but it’s one of my top 5 scents from them. It comes in a plastic pump bottle that’s typical for a foaming hand soap. The front text reads “with Aloe Vera and Vitamin B5” and “with a lightweight foam to gently cleanse hands as it kills germs”. The back of the container reads the following:
“Our soft bursts of lightweight foam gently wash away dirt and germs, while leaving skin soft and lightly scented with the enticing fragrance of Tropical Passionfruit.
OUR SPECIAL INGREDIENTS
- Aloe Vera soothes skin
- Pro-Vitamin B5 nourishes skin”
Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap
Verdict? I love it. The foam pump makes it so convenient to use and it smells great! Other scents I’ve used are Country Apple, Sweet Pea and Cherry Blossom. It cleans well without leaving a sticky or heavy residue like some hand soaps can. It doesn’t leave my hands dry at all. I can use this many times during the day and not worry about overdrying my skin due to washing too much. Needless to say, I’ll be picking up more of these in the next few days since I am down to just one backup bottle under my sink (I checked recently).
This product can easily be purchased at Bath & Body Works stores and online where available.
Softsoap Coconut Scrub Bar Soap
Another item I was looking forward to a lot from my Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2011 is the Softsoap Coconut Scrub Bar Soap. I mean, I love the scent of coconut and the thought of a slightly scrubby soap definitely made me giddy.
Softsoap Coconut Scrub Soap Bar
The Influenster insert boasts about this product: “Renew your skin with NEW Softsoap Coconut Scrub bar soap. Enriched with crushed coconut extract, this bar soap gently exfoliates to renew your skin’s surface, while helping retain natural moisture for soft, supple skin. Also comes in two other exotic fragrances: Juice Pomegranate & Mango Infusions and Sweet Honeysuckle & Orange Peel.”

Verdict? The back of the box states: “bar soap enriched with crushed coconut extract and gentle exfoliants”. I tried it out in the shower and was pleasantly surprised to find that the scrubbiness is quite fine. I was expecting some coarser exfoliants from this product. It smells lightly of coconut. I think the scent is light enough to pass for those that dislike coconut, but I’d say sniff first to double-check before you buy. I don’t find it very drying like other bar soaps and it does feel luxurious somewhat because it makes me think of coconut cream or milk. Bar soaps like this usually lasts me around a month.
The bar weighs 3.9 oz / 110 g and is available at most grocery and drugstores in the Health & Beauty aisles.

I was so excited to have made it in this program for the last box of the year. Eager to try out new things and reviewing them in hopes to help others, this seemed like the perfect program for me to get involved in. I got this in the mail yesterday and couldn’t wait to try them all out. These are the contents of my Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2011.

I’m very excited to try these all out. In fact, I’ve already consumed the Larabar and started using the N.Y.C. Color Liquid Lip Shine. I’ll give a more detailed account on how these products fared for me and as a bonus…..also with 2 of my co-worker friends when applicable. Stay tuned!
