I prefer Body Cream (BC) compared to Body Lotion (BL). Personally I live in Malaysia where it is humid condition. I observe that BC will not make my skin feel sticky compared to BL which is slightly sticky due to lighter-runny consistency after application. Plus, BC will have stronger scent for me . But I love them both . Thanks for good revieww ❤️

Great video as usual. Also your skin definitely looks like it was glowing and I love it. Honestly, I hate when my body creams become old and expired so now I’ve started buying more of the body lotions and only a few body creams that I feel like can be used up within six months.
I 100% agree with you on the formulas. I wish the body creams lasted longer. I personally buy mainly body lotions for that reason but I do love the moisture the creams provide. B&BW needs to rework the formulas
I like them both. I feel like for me personally I am drawn to just picking up the lotions... however, I feel like some scents smell better in the “Body Cream” formulation or last longer scent wise in the body creams too.
I love both! However, my preference is their body creams and they've never turned on me. For me, the creams last significantly longer than their lotion and I've also kept both their creams and lotions for very long periods of time. I guess I'm just lucky. Also, I use the creams all year long--even in the summer, but I understand the debate for some B&BW connoisseurs
Everything you mentioned is 100% spot on with what I've noticed! Nailed this video!! I like both equally! Personally, creams are used more during winter and lotions are more my thing in the summer! Thanks for this fun video!! ❤️
I prefer body creams and if it gets old i use it as furniture polish a *tip from Ms Bonnie* trust me it works. Love this video detailed and on point.😍😍😍😍😍 SOTD lakeside citrus
I think it matter on where your using it which one you may want to use but I buy both! I think creams are better for winter and cold weather and I find that both hold their scents well! I guess I’m not biased!🤷🏽♀️
I like both, creams are good for the cold, lotion is good for the hot weather. I buy more lotion than cream because like you said the shelf life is longer in lotion. I hate it when my cream turns yellow and gets like a weird consistency especially the ones with vanilla those go bad even quicker like a Christmas cookies I had got yellowing in like 4 months.
Someone told me that with gourmand scents to just think of it like cake batter lolol but I totally am with you on that!! Especially with the scents that don't have vanilla in it at all!
I was told by an associate that the lotions are more strongly scented. But in my experience the creams “stick” more so they leave me scented longer. I believe the lotions contain parabens, while the creams don’t. If the thickness of the creams is an issue, then it can be applied while the skin is still damp so it spreads around better and kinda thins out.
I love both! I'm sure I won't like the body cream as much come hot humid summer. Btw, I keep seeing questionable/spam comments across UA-cam and I've been reporting them. I saw some here, and don't know if others are seeing it too.
I have so many products I can’t possibly go trough them quick enough so I go for lotions. Creams turn too quickly. I also get a base “cream” smell from them and from the lotions I don’t. If I need extra moisture I go in with an unscented moisturizer first, but in general lotions are moisturizing enough for me :)
I prefer cream because in the end that’s why I even buy a moisturizer, to put hydration back into my skin! lol. In the summer I find my body produce enough oil that I don’t even bother with the lotion lol. But both are good I don’t mind using both
lol I missed one day this past saturday and you noticed! ahaha I was having a mental breakdown with school and didn't have any video ideas lollololool its fine I'm fine! I'm trying boo!
I do like the body creams more because I have dry skin I was always buying the lotions until one day I tried the body cream and now those are my fav but I only have three body creams I don't buy many full sizes, the only other full sizes I will get next sas is raspberry jam donut
Fudge I'm so nervous. Normally I buy body creams. But I splurged and bought Pink Chiffon, Paris Amour, and Twighlight Woods all in Body lotion form. I really hope I like the formula of it. I hate when lotions have a weird smell to them 😫😔 probably should have gotten just 1 to see how I vibe with it. 😬 oops . Hopefully I love it .
Self Care Catherine I keep cute little storage bins with different body lotions for them hands. Even though I will always support you and your channel, it means a lot as a subscriber to be missed🤗😘
@@SelfCareCatherine yes once it’s over. Definitely do it in the summer. It’s such a great city in the warmer months. Right now it’s the worst place ever 😩😩😂
I prefer the lotion formula versus the cream I used to be a fan of body creams but it’s something about Bath and body Works formula when it comes to body cream .like if you put the cream on your body and you don’t mix it all the way it leaves like at a greasy film on the skin kinda reminds me like butter 🧈 on toast not good 😖
I tend to use the creams in the winter since MI is cold and I am dry. The lotions are perfect for our summers tho. I’m going to try your method of both and see how it goes!
Well mine is scent if I like the scent a lot I will get both .if it’s a scents that I like but I’m not crazy for it I will just get one or the other !! 😍❤️🤩💋🌸☺️🥰🌹🌷
Thankyou for the great info 😊 I was wondering what the experiration date is that is stated on the bottle 😊 B&BWs is now available in Europe too, but it says 12 months for every product (lotions, showergels and body sprays). I was wondering if the formulations are different, or if them last way longer than the claim 😊
The formulation is probably different!! America tries to make everything shelf stable, but I feel like your products have better ingredients in them lol
It's funny because the lotions moisturize better than the creams on my skin honestly! and i have super dry ashy skin!😅 Plus the lotions smell better and fragrance last longer.
So I’m a guy and all I’m really interested in is the smell of this one product I really like. My skin is generally not dry and moisturized enough on its own, I just want that scent to linger longer since I already use the same scented body wash. Should I go for the lotion or cream?
If you want to last long the scent then you must pick the Lotion since Lotion scent last longer compared to creams. Creams generally gives you more softer and glowy effects
@@SelfCareCatherine it was mocha kiss from the tutti dolce line but I swear it was similar to beach nights. It didn't really have coffee notes to me because I also don't like coffee scents either.
Omg body creams that turn smell so rotten I can’ttttt 😭 I tried putting one on the other day and it straight up smelled like rotten milk and vomit ahksaha I was boutta start crying LMAO 😂🤦♀️
@@Mariat77 yea unlike others I buy to use so even if I kept it up to a year I’ve never experienced that. I use up my products within 6 months. That’s the fun part. I’m trying to use up what I have now so I’m low when the next sas comes around.
@@SelfCareCatherine scentwise which is longer lasting ?you are the cream or lotion ?also tell the same for in the stars ,a thousand wishes and into the night too ...theirs lasting power between body lotion or cream better ?
i prefer the cream for the formula. but i have gotten a few creams that were new but smelled musty on my skin... idk if it is just my body chemistry or if they were actually spoiled, but it was weird.

Thanks for this! It really helped me to figure out which one to buy from bath and body works and I chose lotions since I live in a tropical climate~

i’ve been waiting for this video😭❤️❤️
Yess!! I can't wait for you to twatch!
For the winter time i like to use creams, in the summer ill use up the lotions. I'm trying to be mindful of that when i purchase from now on!
That sounds like something I will do!!
Everything you mentioned is 100% spot on with what I've noticed! Nailed this video!! I like both equally! Personally, creams are used more during winter and lotions are more my thing in the summer! Thanks for this fun video!! ❤️
Hehe thank you for enjoying boo! I wanted to make sure I covered everything!!
That’s what I was thinking, I use the creams in the winter and the lotions in the summer
I love the Body Creams more cause they are thicker and packaging is cuter 😁
They are really cute!!
I prefer body creams and if it gets old i use it as furniture polish a *tip from Ms Bonnie* trust me it works.
Love this video detailed and on point.😍😍😍😍😍
SOTD lakeside citrus
Ooo tbh I wish I had furniture to polish to do that hack lolol
That is a good idea to use both body lotion & body cream. I don't have both on all scents, but do have quite a few doubles. My SOTD was cherry crisp.
I love sugar cherry crisp!! One of my all time favorite cherry scents that they released!!
I think it matter on where your using it which one you may want to use but I buy both! I think creams are better for winter and cold weather and I find that both hold their scents well! I guess I’m not biased!🤷🏽♀️
Ahaha love that Stephanie! I love both so it’s interesting to see both sides!
I prefer body creams because I have dry skin and lotion just doesn't provide enough hydration for me personally 🙂
I love that!!

That is what I do for my sensitive areas!!
Have so much body creams, I hope they don’t turn on me too fast! Just getting into bath and body works products since the semi annual sale this Fall!
Ahaha I feel you boo!
I much prefer the lotions! I don’t like the feeling of thick creams on my skin so I like that the lotions are lighter
I love your opinion! I think I’m the summer I will be using lotion solely so I don’t feel too hydrated lol
I also think the lotion makes the fragrance linger a little longer...😍
Yes!! People always give lotions a bad rep!
I prefer cream because in the end that’s why I even buy a moisturizer, to put hydration back into my skin! lol. In the summer I find my body produce enough oil that I don’t even bother with the lotion lol. But both are good I don’t mind using both
Thanks for sharing An!!
I usually get the lotion. Unless it's something I REALLY LOVE. Like something I go to always, so it's not sitting around long✌
That is super smart!! I think I will start buying more lotions since they last so much longer!
I like both the lotion and body cream equality. My scent of the day is Pretty as a peach 🍑 and champagne Toast🍾.
I need to try that combo!!!
ooo I think I prefer the creams during the winter time and lotions during summer since they're so lightweight haha
Same!! Hehe I'll see if I will double moisturize in the summer or be like nah its too hot for that.
I miss the once a day videos😂 hoping for another upload today! 🤞🏼

Yesss I love me some Raspberry Jam Donut!!
I prefer creams, because I have dry skin and it gives me the impression of lasting longer
I honestly love them both, body creams and lotions but I prefer un scented lotion idk why! 😂

I used to like Pink Chiffon, but it had a really strong artificial note to me! I think its from that lotion smell to it
I tend to gravitate towards body creams more. I like to keep various body lotions in my bathrooms for my hands.

Yes B&BW needs to change their formula!
Body creams is what I need in this Chicago cold and dry weather
I def agree it is so cold out here.I use body creme in winter and lotion in summer
that feeling when my dry flaky skin in the winter get drenched in the body cream is sooo nicee haha 😆
@@anthien6451 exactly 🤣

I feel that sometimes!! But I have gotten used to it!
Pink processco is my favorite I wish they would bring it back
My mom bought so many products of that scent alone in SAS 2019 ahahah
I tend to use the creams in the winter since MI is cold and I am dry. The lotions are perfect for our summers tho. I’m going to try your method of both and see how it goes!
Let me know how it works for you!!! It makes my skin buttery soft!
Wish we had Bath & Body Works in the uk!!!
I'm surprised they don't have it there!
I understand the cream lasts 2 to 3 years. What is the shelf life of the lotions? Love the video.
I usually buy the lotions but during SAS I will grab some creams. I avoid too many creams because they do go bad so quickly 🤢
They have this 3.25 lotion sale and they usually give coupons and it makes them soooooo cheap!
Well mine is scent if I like the scent a lot I will get both .if it’s a scents that I like but I’m not crazy for it I will just get one or the other !! 😍❤️🤩💋🌸☺️🥰🌹🌷

Body creams are way better than the lotions the smell is stronger in a body cream !!!

It's funny because the lotions moisturize better than the creams on my skin honestly! and i have super dry ashy skin!😅 Plus the lotions smell better and fragrance last longer.
Heheh you can't go wrong with lotions!
I prefer the creams. Mainly because they’re less greasy and actually rub in.
I love both!! thanks for watching Jennifer!
If my body cream smells fine and makes my skin soft but the formula has gone like bubbly like cottage cheese texture can I still use it?

Hi🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hi Floyd!
Advice from my experience it's nice to use first the body lotion and spray the mist and lastly use the body cream to lock it in the scent for long lasting scent to it and hands down it last up until 10hours in my body. But it still depends on your body chemistry if the scents will last to you but highly recommended to use the three 💕
