Honey Bee Mine

In the interest of full disclosure, as much as I like Laura Mercier's Crème Brulee Honey Bath, I've only used it twice - both times when I was visiting my parents - because they have a fabulous whirlpool tub that just begs to be used, especially when compared to my apartment bathtub that, well, doesn't. Since I'm a sucker for the sweet smells, it seems obvious that I would love the crème brulee scent, and I really did. It immediately made me wish I'd thought ahead and brought some sort of dessert into the tub with me to go along with my glass of wine. And as far as a bath product, it did everything it promised - there was a good amount of bubbles and my skin felt soft when I got out (for another glass of wine, naturally). Also, there is nothing cuter than the little wooden honey dipper that comes with it. It reminded me of something that Winnie the Pooh would carry around with him. Of course, since the honey bath is $40, Winnie probably couldn't afford it, which is kind of sad because that's its one drawback - the price. $40 is a lot of money and considering how infrequently I take baths, it's not really worth it to me. (I used a sample to test it out - thanks, nice lady at Bloomingdales for hooking me up - hope you don't get in trouble if anyone reads this). So I guess I've finally found the place where I draw the line and that place is $40 bubble bath. My mom will be so proud...
