C.O Bigelow's Mentha Body Vitamin Body Wash: From the New Line at Bath & Body Works

Have you ever gotten something simply because you had a coupon for it for free? Yet you know that this was something that you would never buy on your own with your own money?

I do. I do this often and it is only because Bath and Body Works provides me with a coupon for something for free every single time I go shopping, whether it be $10.00 off of my order, or a free body wash, I usually always redeem my free goods, simply because I feel I deserve them.

My last coupon from Bath 7 Body works was for a free item from their newest line of hair products C.O Bigelow. The coupon said I could have anything for free from the line, but the catch was I could not buy something over $12.00. Hmm... so that left me with 1 choice, seriously 1 choice. C.O Bigelow's Mentha Body Vitamin Wash.

I'll say this, I was a tad disappointed because everything else in the line was nearly $30.00 and this body wash smelled like spearmint gum mixed with sugar. It wasn't a nasty scent, but minty scents in the shower have never been my personal favorites, and besides, I already had a few mint washes, so I felt I didn't need another. But seeing how it was free...well yah know...I had to redeem.

C.O Bigelow's Mentha wash comes in a spearmint green stand up tube and is filled with 8 ounces of gel. I knew that it was not something I would regularly buy, but what surprised me most about this new line was it's bland labels. Nothing special, or even eye catching.

I put my Mentha wash to use the next day, by adding a few squirts of the gel into my bath poof. The spearmint scent opened up my nasal passage in an almost instant, and I was overwhelmed with the scent of gum. It was sort of nasty, and washing with toothpaste scents are not my idea of a nice relaxing shower. Any more mint added in this one and my eyes would be burning.
