Spend vs Save: Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea vs HBC Body Recipe Sweet Pea

I know most of us have been fans of Bath and Body Works fragrances, especially their bestsellers, Cucumber Mellon, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Sweet Pea (they have so many I think ALL are faves).
A 200ml bottle costs around 350php-550php at resellers and mall (not bad) but when there’s the BOGO sale at BBW it really comes cheap.

But wait.. there’s more! If you’re the type of person who does not mind using a different brand but get a similar fragrance and get to save up to more than 50% of your usual BBW, you can try using HBC’s Body Recipe Body Care Collection.

I was blessed to have been given the opportunity to try their hand and body lotion and body wash in Sweet Pea. Take note, I have a strooong sense of smell and can really smell even the faintest of the smells, and this one is really really close to Bath and Body Works’ Sweet Pea Variant.
The body wash lathers enough foam to spread all over the body and the lotion is indeed moisturizing, to the point its quite thick and can match up to being a body butter. This line is best
for layering fragrance and it does smell good, and the smell does last 😉

Everyone deserves great looking skin and Body Recipe, HBC’s natural skincare line makes this possible with its nature-derived products that are sure to bring the spa experience right at your doorsteps.

Body Recipe is proud to introduce three of its body care collections – Cucumber Bliss, Jasmine Dream and Sweet Pea. Each variant comes with a body mist (P99.75), hand and body lotion (P150), and a shower gel (P186) to compliment your natural skincare recipes any time of the day. These products are available in all HBC stores nationwide.

The Body Recipe shower gels and lotions contain naturally-derived moisturizers that nourish skin while the body mists are infused with relaxing scents to make each spritz an enjoyable experience. Cucumber tightens open pores and has a cooling effect to gently soothe skin. Jasmine’s skin healing properties are perfect for dry, sensitive skin while sweet pea locks in moisture leaving skin soft and smooth.

Body Recipe is a complete line of natural skincare products, which are inspired from home-grown beauty recipes. Its products range from body scrubs, bath soaps, facial toners, cleansers, foot treatments and many more!
