Thanks anemone for the info!!!

Yeah that is really confusing, I really dont know of anyone who would use bubble bath in the shower Of course Lime has to be one of them that doesnt have a shower gel yet hopefully soon

I emailed Sephora customer service asking whether the Bath & Shower Bubbles can be used as a shower gel and here is the reply I got from them:

"Thank you for contacting Sephora.com. The Sephora Brand Bath and Shower Bubbles are not a 2-in-1 formulation and is only for use as a bubble bath. If you would like a shower gel, the shower gel is sold individually."

Thanks for sharing that email, anemone. I saw the new scents on the site a few days ago and was wondering the same thing. Since they mention the shower gel being sold individually, I'll assume the shower gel has to be available soon. If/when there is a shower gel I'd probably end up trying both the lime and peach.

It doesn't seem like the entire line is up there yet for either scent anyway. They don't have body lotions either, and that's usually available in every scent they have...unless these are going to be LE and not available in all the usual forms? I'm sure we'll find out soon, but I think the entire line will be on the site once it gets closer to the time they're going to release these in stores. I was just in a Sephora over the weekend, and I know they didn't have them out yet.

I ended up smelling the Lime Blossom and Peach Blossom over the weekend. My favorite of the 2 was Peach. The bottle said on the back use in bath or shower. They didnt have an actual shower gel for either still. I asked the SA and she said they were shower gel, so I asked her why they were calling them bath and shower bubbles if they make actual shower gels. She looked really confused as well, and said hmm then I am not sure why they did that.

Since I wasnt completely blown away by either, I just decided to pass. When smelling the Peach I kept getting a wiff of something else mixed w/ peach. When I looked at the back it said sweet georgia peaches and honey. Sure enough thats what it was, honey.

Thanks for the reviews, Gizmo. The Peach (mixed with honey) sounds really nice, actually.

The peach was my pick of the 2 as well, Gizmo. I wasn't in love with either though to be honest LOL.

The Sephora birthday gift for this year is a 2.5 oz. bath & shower bubbles in Vanilla Cupcake. Apparently you get an e-mail on your birthday notifying you about it, but the actual e-mail itself says it's good starting 14 days before & up to 14 days after your bday. I'm getting one & will review it when it gets here.

Here's a photo of what it looks like:

Megan, I have seen that at the store. I think the bottle is very cute. They have it in a case at the store, so I didnt smell it. I cant wait for your reviews. The SA did tell me they give you a month to get it. I dont get mine until August She also told me if you come in to the store, you dont have to buy anything for your free birthday gift. They will just give it to you. At Sephora though, I dont think I have ever walked out empty handed.

I got my Sephora order in the mail today. It was kinda hard to open up those new style of bath & shower bubbles bottles. As for Vanilla Cupcake, there was actually a little bit of shimmer in it, but more of a pearlescent shimmer than crazy shimmer. I was beginning to think that this was like Triple Layer Cake, but I did a side by side comparison & Vanilla Cupcake is the lighter of the two. I do smell vanilla & cakey notes in it. It's better than some of the competing vanilla cake scents (i.e. Philosophy Vanilla Bday Cake & BBW Frosting Forever), but it's not my favorite. So I'll probably end up sending it to another home eventually.

I was looking around Sephoras website this evening. They have added a new scent to their Bath and Body collection, Nectarine Blossom. This scent doesnt have a shower gel either. Which I am not quite understanding, I would think a shower gel would sell the best. I could be wrong, I am just saying that because thats what I use the most of.

Nectarine Blossom

I smelled a few of these scents today.

Coconut Almond: Smells like warm coconut milk. It's quite nice.

Lime Blossom: Smells like grass & flowers.

Nectarine Blossom: Interestingly enough, this one smells like BBW Sparkling Peach. It's quite good.

Peach Blossom: Smells like rotten fruit.

Only awile ago i went and got some shower gel and body butter. it smells sooooo good!! The flavor is guava passion but each item was around 15.00!! but it is so worth it

I read a post on MUA saying that the Vanilla Cupcake was available in full size products in the regular line now. From checking out the product listing, it appears that there's another new scent called Apple Pomegranate.

I saw the Vanilla Cupcake and new Apple Pomegranate on the site weeks ago and still nothing in those scents is in stock yet online. I checked a Sephora when I went shopping for a few things at my local mall this weekend just to see if I could stop in and give them a sniff, but none of the new scents were available there yet either. An SA told me to call the number from the website to ask as they would have more info about when those will be in stores or in stock online.

Just out of curiosity, I did call once I got home, and the SA on the phone told me those scents wouldn't be available until November. I'm not sure if that's accurate info though, especially since it seems weird that they would put them online almost 5 months before anyone could buy them on the site or in stores. I mean, BBW always puts new items online before they reach the stores, but only a few weeks in advance at most and when they at least have online stock. When I asked the SA on the phone about how early it seemed, she said she believed they had those scents in stock for a short time and they were sold out already.

The strange thing is I've never seen them listed as in stock online or at either of the 2 stores near me. So, I'd be interested to hear if anyone is able to find these anytime soon. I have a feeling I would like the Vanilla Cupcake unless it is overly sweet. Apple Pomegranate might be interesting too, but I'll have to wait and see...
