Dear Bath and Body Works,
I recently purchased your C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Cordial Triple Hot Chocolate. I was so excited about this purchase because my husband is a chocoholic and I am a lip gloss fanatic. I thought this product would be the perfect pairing of our two addictions. After purchasing, I put the product in my purse so it would be readily available for our family outing later that evening. On our drive to the restaurant, I remembered my exciting find and reached into my purse. I unwrapped the plastic seal, giddy with anticipation of how great this new lip gloss was going to be. I puckered up and applied the lovely gloss over my lips just waiting for the aroma to fill our car. And then it happened. First, one child began to cough. A fluke, I thought. There’s no way my lip gloss is making the kid cough. Then, the other one started gagging. Surely it’s not the gloss, I thought. But then my husband confirmed my suspicions when he asked, “What IS that smell?” Before I could respond that the foul stench was actually coming from my lips, my daughter announced that it must be her brother’s butt. (She’s only three and we do not allow her to talk this way, but I could not help but find it both hilarious and horrifying anyway.) I seriously had to use a tissue to wipe the gloss from my mouth and crack a window to get the uproar to settle down.
I’m sure you can understand my dissatisfaction with your product. I would never intentionally buy a product that smells like “butt” to apply to any part of my body, much less my face. I started to throw the tube of gloss in the garbage, but I’ve decided to keep it as a gag gift for my sister. I can’t wait until Christmas!
Sincerely,
Kelly

I love this story! But please don't send me any of that lip gloss...
ReplyDeleteHaha! And when I was in Bath and Body works after hearing this story, I did have to rush over and smell it, just for the full effect. Then make my sister smell it. Then we made our mom smell it. we even convinced a total stranger to smell it. Who then turned around and made her friend smell it. Look at the fuss you caused in Minnesota! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I could bring a little smile to you up in the frozen tundra, Becky. :)
ReplyDeleteIASoupMama, the lip gloss has been properly disposed of. Scouts honor.
