Pocketbac Review #3: Let's Celebrate (Raspberry Vanilla) 🎉

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday afternoon (we're already halfway through the week, yay!🎉)

If you saw my previous post, Weekly Review Schedule #1, you'd know that today I'm reviewing the PocketBac "Let's Celebrate!" in the scent Raspberry Vanilla, which debuted in Bath & Body Works stores in late June 2019.

The PocketBac Reviewer
Let's Celebrate is a light bluish-gray Pocketbac with blue moisture beads. It has metallic silver packaging with rainbow pokla dots and multicolored typography. It has a white cap, like most Pocketbacs.

I would rate this Pocketbac a 9/10, or a 96%. I love the raspberry-vanilla scent, and I don't think it smells artificial like some other Pocketbacs. The packaging is adorable, however I don't really like the sanitizer color. It has a nice, light, sweet smell, which is nice because it's not to overpowering or overly sweet.

I would love to see this hand sanitizer released in Bath & Body Works stores again this year, perhaps in different packaging. The raspberry vanilla scent seems to be quite a hit, as it is light, sweet, and has amazing packaging.

Thank you so much for reading this review! Please let us know what you thought of it. See you next time on The Pocketbac Reviewer!

Pocketbac Review #2: Peach Bellini 🍑🥂

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a lovely day. I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've just had so much going on! Anyway, I'm back now with my second review, this time of the Peach Bellini Pocketbac!
The Pocketbac Reviewer


This Pocketbac was one of the first four I ever bought, the first time I shopped at Bath & Body Works back in early May 2019. I've been using it constantly ever since, as peach scents have become some of my favorites from BBW: Georgia Peach, Pretty as a Peach, you name it.

I love this scent a lot, so I would rate it a 9.5/10, and a 97%. It's not to overwhelming but not too neutral, either. It has just the perfect balance of fragrance, and the color is beautiful. The peachy pink sanitizer and blue moisture beads perfectly compliment the salmon-pink and blue packaging. Any fan of peach scents should definitely add this hand sanitizer to their collection- if they don't already have it, of course!

Overall, I think this Pocketbac is extra great to use in the summer, since peachy scents are quite popular then. You could have it in your car, your purse, at your desk... wherever you could use some extra fragrance while staying clean and safe. Pocketbacs are very portable, so you could take them anywhere: the beach, Disney World, on a plane. The possibilites are endless!

Thank you so much for reading this review. Please let me know what you think about the Peach Bellini Pocketbac by emailing me at pocketbac.reviewer@gmail.com or DM'ing me on Instagram @thepocketbacreviewer.
I hope you have a great rest of your day! Stay safe, and don't forget to wash your hands (or, when you can't access a sink easily, use hand sanitizer!)

PocketBac Review #1: Sweet Pea 🌸

Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well. Tomorrow is Friday! :)

This is a very exciting post: my first official Pocketbac review! I had to pick one of my favorite PocketBacs, which also happens to be perfect for spring, for this special review.

The one I've selected for today is Sweet Pea!

Sweet Pea is the perfect Bath & Body Works for spring. It's light and fresh and has a sweet floral scent, almost like a jasmine or cherry blossom (the sweet kind, not like Japanese Cherry Blossom). The packaging is also beautiful; there are many variantst, but this is the classic 2019 version (there have been others with designs on the packaging). This PocketBac is perfect especially now, since you can use it to keep your hands smelling sweet while staying safe. (But, of course, washing your hands is the better alternative.) This would be a nice scent to keep in your car during the spring if you ever need to sanitize your hands.
The sanitizer itself is a light pink color and has blue beads. Other variants have various shades of pink sanitizer and assorted bead colors.
Overall, I would rate this PocketBac a 9/10, or a 92%. There's other PocketBacs that I like even more, but this is high on my list because it doesn't smell fake like some of the others. I love to take this sanitizer with me to work, and just out and about. I personally think that, if you like light, sweet, floral scents, Sweet Pea is the perfect addition to your Bath & Body Works Collection. And if you like it, it's available in body care form too!

Please let me know what your opinions are on this Pocketbac by emailing me at pocketbac.reviewer@gmail.com. I'd love to hear what you think! Remember, these are my own opinions on this review.
Thanks for reading this post, and have a great day!

Welcome!

Hello everyone, I'm Isabelle Emma Carson but you can me Emma! I've been a customer at Bath and Body Works for almost a year now, having previously received BBW products from friends as gifts. On May 3, 2019 I walked into a BBW store for the first time and fell in love. My collection has since grown from just 5 hand sanitizers to many items in almost every product they sell: candles, lotions, soaps, bubble bath, shea infused socks, and much more. (To this day I still do not own a Wallflower or Scentportable). The largest areas of my collection are my FFMs (Fine Fragrance Mists) and my Pocketbac hand sanitizers. I currently have 23 fine fragrance mists (21 full size, 2 travel/trial size) and 25 PocketBacs. My favorite scents from BBW are Raspberry Sugar, Strawberry Pound Cake, Warm Apple Pie, Marble Toffee, Pretty as a Peach, Pink Velvet Cupcake, French Lavender & Honey, Magic in the Air, Sweet. Pea, Gingham, Rose Water & Ivy, Apple Blossom, Lavender & Cotton Flower, Hello Beautiful, Cactus Blossom, Aromatherapy Love: Rose + Vanilla, Aromatherapy Serenity: Marigold Rose Magnolia, One in a Million, Vanilla Buttercream, and Perfect Peony. (I just can't pick a single favorite!)
This blog will be for me to share and review my Pocketbac collection as well as Pocketbacs I find at my local BBW store (once they reopen). Each day you'll find a new image of a PocketBac as well as a review (on a scale of 1 to 10). I plan to create an Instagram account to share my reviews as well. I will also take polls to see which Pocketbac you would like me to review next.
See you soon, my first review post will be up shortly!
