BPAL Madness!

Recommended Posts

I was hoping someone else would pop in, as this is actually my first BPAL lotion!

Scent: I really don't get pumpkin at all, which - as an autumn lover - I'm a wee bit sad about! I do get sweetness + red berries, which I'm not at all mad about because I like those notes as well. The currant adds a bit of tartness, which helps balance out the candyfloss / sugar note. I don't get much cream, though I do get the kind of sweet strawberry that's in other Lab blends (more a sugared syrupy berry than a pure straight-up berry). 

 

It's a lovely thickness that melts into my skin without being greasy or anything like that; I do think I see that the pump bottle is not the most efficient at getting the lotion out, perhaps. But the lotion itself is a luscious texture!

The tart red currant stands out the most to my nose. It's backed by the strawberry (I'm not getting much of the cream part of the strawberry cream) and the pumpkin candyfloss, which is not overtly pumpkin-y -- it just adds a touch of spice that makes this have a baked good quality to it behind the fruity notes, even though the pumpkin is supposed to be in candyfloss form. It's kind of like if you took Red from the Fraggle Rock line with its red currant, made it more pink, and then added some warm spice for good measure. It somehow makes me think of fruit punch with a bit of pumpkin cake (sans frosting) nearby.

 

I do think this is nice, but I don't think it's a lotion I need a full size of... I'll happily use up my little sample pot, though!
