LBS Beauty Review: Sonia Kashuk for Target Body Line

sonia-kashuk-target-body-1

As many of you probably know, I’m currently on bedrest with #babybrownsugar. I’m now 26 weeks pregnant and my doctor has advised me to take it easy, relax, and stay in the house until further notice. At first it came as a huge shock and disappointment to me but of late I’m starting to realize what a blessing in disguise it is. I finally have some time to relax and pamper myself! To be honest, I’ve literally been “on-the-go” since starting my first job after college. No long gaps or breaks. A few mini vacation weekends here and there, but all in all, my way of escaping from the craziness was writing in this here blog. I can’t even remember the last time I soaked in a nice hot bath. So now with the extra time, I’ve been really treating myself. And when you treat yourself, you should do so with products you truly love. I mean, I might as well get in all the pampering I can now. Once the baby gets here, I’ll be part of Team No Sleep.

Now for the products! I was sent three different products from the Bath and Body collection by Sonia Kashuk for Target (all three in different scents). I have the Body Butter in Yellow Alluriana, the Creme Body Wash in Pink Innocencia and the Eau de Toilette in Purple Seductia. Here’s a video I made with my thoughts on the new collection:

First off, given the amazing price and the fact that you can find this product at Target, I thought the quality of the products was impeccable.

Of the three, I get most use out of the body butter because it’s a great everyday moisturizer, it leaves a lasting scent and it’s not too thick so it absorbs into the skin fairly quickly.

My favorite scent of all three is the Purple Seductia which has hints of pomegranate, rose and patchouli.

It is the perfect fruity-floral balance and, like its name, is very seductive. Me likey.

The Creme Body Wash in Pink Innocencia is light, very floral and romantic. This one is great for relaxing in a hot bath. You can even poor some under running water for a bubble bath, and it lathers up really nicely. Overall, these are pretty great products for women who need a little pampering time at home. Turn on your favorite album, turn the lights low, light some candles and unwind every once in a while. Your body, mind and soul will thank you for it!

  1. I pamper myself by taking a nice bubble bath along with a hydrating face mask!
    Also, I like to listen to John Mayer while soaking in the bath tub. 🙂

  2. I pamper myself with a long, hot bath, at least once a week.

  4. A nice soak in the whirlpool tub with some lavendar epsom salts is very pampering and relaxing.

  5. I love to wash and condition my hair. I usually condition overnight, so I baggie and turban wrap my hair, light a candle, put on some Isley Brothers and enjoy a nice relaxing bath! #ooohwee

  6. Soaking my feet and tootsies in my foot spa after using my homemade Peppermint foot scrub. The foot spa has jets and bubbles and a heat setting. So relaxing!

  7. I love to take a short nap and a hot bath. Its really relaxing for me and I need it cause I have 3 young busy kids.

  8. I pamper myself by having a nice warm bubble bath with a glass of wine.

  9. I pamper myself in the evening by reading to my daughter before
    tucking her in, then I take a shower and put on some fragrant lotion.

  10. I try to treat myself to an at-home manicure & facial mask every Sunday night while reading my fashion magazines!

  11. This sound really lame, but I take an extra shower at night. In the morning I’m so rushed to get my son and get the day started, but at night I can take my time shaving my legs and washing my hair. Nothing feels better than crawling into bed after you are all clean and smelling good. It’s a quick way to pamper myself at the end of the day.

  12. Lie in bed with a book I’ve been dying to read, a my snugglie, and a cup of hot tea. If it’s a really good book, a glass of wine.

  13. I Pamper Myself With Relaxing Bubble Baths Surrounded By Candles And Soothing Music! hthr83heather at yahoo dot com

  14. After the babies are asleep, I pamper myself with a long, hot shower then I baked my favorite cookie or snack, and I lounge peacefully as I enjoy every single bite!

  15. Thank you for the giveaway! You are amazing!

    I rarely have time to pamper myself. Pre-kid, I pampered myself with Lush rose bath bombs in warm baths, glass of wine, and slow jams.

  16. When I do pamper myself I go and get a mani and pedi. There’s nothing like nice hands and feet.

  17. I pamper myself with a long sea salt bath with a deep conditioner in my hair. Add in a glass of wine, a good book, and soft music and you have heaven in my book lol. I only get to do it once, maybe twice a month, but those days are amazing.

  18. Enter me! I pamper myself by using my Clairsonic to wash my face, and to take time to do my own nails at home

  19. I like to pamper myself by going and getting a pedicure, sitting in a hot tub, drinking wine at home or just giving myself an at home facial!

  20. I like to escape by taking a candlelit bath with lavender epsom salt! I also love going to get pedicures!

  21. I don’t have a lot of vices, but bath/body care products and soy/veggie candles are my #1. I don’t hoard clothing or jewelry, but will spend $20 on a bottle of lotion. LOL I love to take good care of my skin and buy organic/natural products for it. The more it smells the better, so that every time I use it I smile and relax a bit.

  22. I pamper myself by taking time off to relax and take a long warm bath. Can’t wait to try these products. I tried their nail polish and make-up products and love them all.

  23. A little bit of music, blues preferably, a nice warm bubble bath, a glass of wine and a vanilla candle will take care of my pampering.

  24. I like to pamper myself by always making sure I’m taking care of my health and eating healthy.

  25. I love to pamper myself with a nice long bubble bath, a good book and a glass of wine. What a way to relax!

  26. I just got the Pink Innocencia Eau de Toilet and I am loving it. It was so hard to pick between that the purple and the red one though. These are serious hidden gems.
