Has anyone tried the new Dove Frosted Plum Berry Body Wash? As you already know, Dove went all out with their Holiday Treats Collection this year! We got a Holiday Treats Fall Collection that features scents like Apple Cider Caramel and Pecan Butter Crunch Body Wash and we got another round of Holiday Treats for the Holiday season featuring scents like Hot Cocoa Swirl, Spiced Chai Latte, Sugar Cookie Sprinkle, and Gingerbread Delight.

Dove has been pretty busy gifting us with tons of yummy treats these past two seasons and I’m here for it. Dove Frosted Plum Berry is actually a Target Exclusive Collection that’s available in Body Wash, Body Scrub, Solid Soap, and Deo. I managed to get my hands on the Dove Frosted Plum Berry Body Wash and Body Scrub. I actually did see the deo pop up online but I didn’t indulge as I have the ones from the Fall Collection that I still need to use and buying more seems excessive.

My personal fav from this year’s launch was the Hot Cocoa Swirl but Frosted Plum Berry comes in second. I love this scent. I don’t even know how describe Frosted Plum Berry but Dove says its a blend of frosted plum and spun sugar. I’d say that’s accurate but I’d go so far as to say it smells like a berry crumble. It’s fruity, sugary, with yummy berry and plum notes. It’s quite nice! I don’t know if it screams Holiday but it does smell sweet and yummy!

The body wash is wonderful! It creates a beautiful, thick, and moisturizing lather! For $7 bucks you really can’t beat a Dove Body Wash! It’s a great formula and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and lightly scented with the Frosted Plum Berry fragrance which surprised me as some of these Holiday Body Washes are in shower experience and don’t have a lingering scent.

The body scrub isn’t my ideal pick as I like a more gritty scrub but for daily use it’s great. It’s thick, creamy, and has a fine grain texture which does lather up when water is applied. It rinses clean away and used daily it will definitely keep skin nice and smooth!

If you like sugary, fruity, and berry scents you’ll adore Dove Frosted Plum Berry! Smelled it already? Do share!

You have those days when your makeup comes out so perfectly you just don’t want to wash it off? That happens fairly often for me when I wear RMS Beauty Bohemian Girl ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush. Why is it so perfect? I love this shade! It brings tears to my eyes. I’m a die hard fan of the shade Mai Tai and I really didn’t Bohemian Girl could top it or even work for me since it is a good deal lighter than I normally go with peach shades but it works so perfectly on me that it’s quickly become a fav shade from the RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush Collection!

RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush are some of my favorite blushes. They have this smooth, dense consistency without being powder yet applying like silk on my cheeks. The finish is always perfect, never adheres to drier areas, and always looks smooth. But the best part is that gorgeous luminosity you get from all the shades! It’s that perfect glowy finish that you don’t have to mess with a highlighter to get as the blush does all the work of providing color and the glow! And for someone like me, who really doesn’t do highlighter placement well, this is a perfect way to get color and glow without the hassle of two powders!

RMS calls Bohemian Girl a retro, sunny, 70’s peach. It’s a light golden peach without shimmer or sparkle but still has a luminous finish! If this particular shade is too light you can spice things up and use it over another blush or even a cheek stain for added pop! I thought I’d have to do that but it was pigmented enough to work perfectly as a blush on me! I absolutely adore the shade and was surprised how well it worked for me.

This is one that will flatter both fair, light, and light medium complexions perfectly! If you don’t already own it I highly recommend it.

I’m pretty proud of myself because as much as I wanted to purchase the Wet n Wild Hello Kitty 50th Anniversary PR Tin Box I decided to just purchase the items I wanted. One of those items was the Wet n Wild Hello Kitty Cheerlead Highlighter. It was pink, it was shimmery, I felt like I had to have it even though I’m not much of a highlighter fan girl!

Let’s take a look and see what I thought of this one!

Like many drugstore brands Wet n Wild sure has gone up with their prices! Wet n Wild Hello Kitty Highlighter is available in two shades and the one I got was called Cheerleader and it’s 0.21 oz in size for $8.99. At the risk of sound like my father with his “I remember when…” stories but I remember when Wet n Wild Highlighters were like $3.99-$4.99. Things sure have done up dramatically. But yup, this is $8.99 and I liked it but I probably wouldn’t buy it full-price if I were you! Wait for a sale especially considering Wet n Wild’s track record with collaborations like this as typically they go on sale fast!

The highlighter comes lightweight pink plastic compact with a clear lid. It has a white sketch of Hello Kitty on the front featuring her name and logo. It’s cute packaging but pretty lightweight and easy to break if you drop it.

According to Wet n Wild this gives a Multi-Dimensional Glow with a formula is infused with iridescent pearls that reflect the light. They throw around words like luminous finish but it’s pretty shimmery in my opinion and nothing luminous or glowy about. You can get it to look luminous with setting spray but that initial application is a big old blast of shimmer! There is A LOT of fine silver sparkle in this shade. The color is a bright rosy pink with tons of fine silver shimmer. In my photo, I did a fine mist of L’Oreal Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist Spray (I actually like this stuff by why does it have so much fragrance?!) and it really refined the finish of the shimmer and gave the highlighter a nice glow. Without it I looked a lot more shimmery! The nice thing about this formula is it worked great as an eyeshadow as well! I have it on my eyes below! It’s not the silkiest formula I ever used but it’s thin and does apply easily on my eyes. I’ll go ahead and throw it out there and say I’d have loved to have seen them do a golden peach or coral in this highlighter! I think that would have been so pretty if they did!

As I said above the formula is thin not powdery at all! It’s not the silkiest formula in the world but it applies fairly smooth on my skin even though I feel it is a bit dry. I would say this will look good on skin that isn’t textured. I have smooth, pore-free skin and it looked great but I can see it possibly adhering to drier areas if you don’t prime well or if you have more textured skin it might look a little caky. The powder isn’t as smooth and as silky as it needs to be to look good if you have issues like the ones I mentioned. The wear time is surprisingly good at around 7 hours without fading and it retains all that shimmer as well. I actually used it as a blush versus a highlighter so in my pictures you’re seeing me wearing it all over my cheeks and as you can see it’s quite pigmented!

I wouldn’t say Wet n Wild Hello Kitty Highlighter is the brand’s best highlighter formula but the color is fun and it works great as a blush, highlighter, and even an eyeshadow. I don’t think it’s a race out to buy item but I’d suggest a pick up if you see it on sale!
