Bath & Body Moisturizing Hand Soap cleanses and moisturizes!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Though the Vanilla Bean Noel is featured here and smells very yummy, my personal favorite of the Bath and Body Works collection of moisturizing anti-bacterial hand soap from the holiday collection would have to be the Twisted Peppermint ... oh so yum! The moisturizing anti-bacterial soap comes in many scents, however, for every holiday and many perfumed scents for the everyday; there are also many colors to choose from and scents for the kitchen ... so versatile the Bath and Body Works is ... love them! Anyway, I tend to use a lot of hand sanitizer and will only use anti-bacterial soaps. Many gel and foam soaps are just too harsh on my skin and will sometimes leave my skin red and dry, but I know all the germs are gone! :) But with the Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Soap, I get the best of both worlds: this soap leaves my skin soft with a crisp yummy scent and works at killing everyday germs to keep me and my family healthier.

I can't say enough good things about vanilla bean noel!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Bath and Body works, always a solid bet for soap, lotion, shampoo, body wash, you name it, has really knocked one out of the park with this Vanilla Bean noel soap. Unfortunately it is only seasonal, it is sort of a vanilla/mint kind of smell in my opinion, and it only comes out around Christmas. I think I would probably purchase it year round if it were available, but sadly, it is not. Other than that, I LOVE IT. It is the kind of soap that has tiny little micro beads in it that really clean your hands, no matter what. When I used to chop firewood I would use this soap to get the sap off, when nothing else would. I recently told a girlfriend of mine it would get motor oil off her hands, and she didn't believe me. The next time she changed the oil on her car, she skipped the orange clean and went for the micro bead anti bacterial from bath and body works. Lo and behold it took it right off. That friend now carries this soap around in her car :_

Wait for it all year long....

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I love bath and body works products.  They have many great scents and smells that are infused into great quality products including their hand soap. I have been equally impressed with their lotions, sprays, creams shower gels, lip glosses, shampoos, conditioners, and antibacterial hand sanitizer.  However, I must say of all the marvelous smells to come out of the Bath and Body Works store Vanilla Bean Noel is the best.  I LOVE IT.  This whole month I have been drenching myself in it from lotions, the body spray, lip gloss, shower gel, and soap and I am still not tired of it.  I really hate that it only is available during the holidays, so I find myself having to stock up.  If someone likes the smell of vanilla I would say it was a safe bet that they will love this scent in any product.  The packaging is festive and can be a cute way to add some holiday cheer to the bathroom (which probably gets overlooked as far as holiday decorating goes!)

Vanilla Bean Noel is the best!!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Vanilla Bean Noel from Bath and Body Works is one of the best scents ever! I am very picky about scents and only like a few, but this is definitely one of them! I know my boyfriend loves it too! I buy many of the products in Bath and Body Works line of Vanilla Bean Noel, inluding the lotion and handsoap. At many Bath and Body Works stores they sell them as a two piece set during Christmas time and they work great together! The handsoap does a good job cleaning my hands, and the lotion does a great job moisturizing my skin! I would highly recommend this product. This product would be great to purchase for your guest bathroom/main floor bathroom during the holidays, all of my guests love it! The only negative is that it is only available during the holiday season, but I use it as an excuse to buy lots and lots of it! A good scent in a soap is hard to find, so I highly recommend this awesome product!

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel is the scent I use all year!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

The Bath and Body Works holiday scent Vanilla Bean Noel is so incredible!  I look forward to this scent all year long and I usually try to buy enough to last me from one holiday season to the next.  The smell is perfect!  It's sweet, but not sickly sweet.  It's vanilla, but it's different.  It's somehow warmer and more Christmas like than the other vanilla scents.  I love that it comes in so many options...one year we decide we use nothing but foam soap, but the next we have dry hands and switch to the moisturizing version.  Even the color and design on the bottle is perfect.  I love the green color and the beautiful Christmas/Winter scene on the cover label! 

I buy these as gifts and everyone I have given it to has loved it as well.  This year, they are giving out free wrapping and ribbon when you buy the soaps and lotions.  You can buy what you need at a great price and get your free wrapping in the same store.  It's the ultimate one stop shopping!

My Favorite Scent ever!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have been in love with Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel for forever.  So every winter, when they bring out the Vanilla Bean Noel items, I jump on the chance to try new ones and pick up old ones.  The scent is SO good!  I really could smell it forever.  And I am not the only one who feels that way as from past experience I have seen first hand that anything Vanilla Bean Noel sells out fast!

So, bringing me to the review on Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Moisturizing Hand Soap, I love this stuff.  I love Bath and Bodyworks soaps anyway.  I feel like they keep my hands moisturized, especially in the cold and dry winter months.  The little antibacterial beads are nice and I feel like they are getting my hands extra clean.

Bath and Bodyworks soaps make great Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers.  I often will throw them in with the teachers' gifts, as I think everyone likes using this.  I would definitely recommend this or any other B&BW soap.

Delicious Vanilla Scent

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have never been more in love with a body lotion in all of my life until I smelled Vanilla Bean Noel.  I have never been one for frilly girl things or have 200 different kinds of lotion for every sort thing I want my skin to have. But this lotion. Wow.  It makes me WANT to put on lotion every day just so I can smell it.

Right off the bat, I can smell instantly when somebody is wearing it so it has staying power. It's the right amount of scent and not too strong or overwhelming. The scent is not heavy but light, smells like vanilla, caramel and well.. it just reminds me of christmas. I think that might be because it's pretty much sold in the colder months.

Sometimes B&BW experiments when the formula for VBN and so sometimes it changes but there are still reviews from people trying it so you'll know what labels to look for if you found one you thought was perfect. I highly recommend VBN and I can finally see why it sells out near the end of the year in the stores. It's that good.

my absolute favorite lotion

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Vanilla Bean Noel Body Lotion by Bath and Body Works is absolutely amazing! This is a season product sold by Bath and Body Works only during the holiday season with in the Holiday Traditions Collection. So it is bought up quickly. I stock up on this item beginning in November. The body lotion isn't too thin or too thick. This lotion has become a holiday tradition in my family. We each give each other a bottle of this lotion.

The Vanilla Bean Noel bottle reads "fresh vanilla bean, warm carmel and a rich, comforting cream create this deliciously sweet holiday scent."

The regular size bottle retails for approximately $8.00. You can find coupons and in-store specials and get this bottle relatively cheap.

Smells good, but does it help dry skin?

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

The answer is no. Vanilla Bean Noel is a great lotion if youre going to a dance or planning on having sex later on. If you want to smell good, sure, lather it on. But, if youre looking for a moisturizing lotion that will help your dry skin, dont turn to this bottle of cream for help! Youll be very disappointed.
