I was shopping at Roppongi Hills the other day, and popped into this cute store that sold bathing products and skin care. I was so tempted to buy some body washes, but I reminded myself of the drawer full of Bath & Body Works Shower gels that needs eliminating. So, I put the bottles down and walked out of the store. If only I had this much willpower when it comes to makeup?...

August's Shower Gel was last year's summer release, Maui Hibiscus Beach. BBW describes Maui Hibiscus Beach as "a native island blend of refreshing star fruit, tropical hibiscus and sparkling mandarin with waves of watery melon and mango wood." When I first tried MHB, I thought it was similar to last month's Pure Paradise; and although there is a slight similarity, Pure Paradise is more coconutty-pineapple, whereas Maui Beach is mandarin hibiscus. I prefer Pure Paradise over Maui Hibiscus Beach, but it's still a great refreshing, beachy-tropical fruity floral fragrance.
