Challenge #13 - Molton Brown Ylang Ylang Body Wash vs. AVEENO® Stress Relief Body Wash

Before I review this, let me tell you about my first encounter with Molton Brown. I joined a cheap ($19 a month) gym while in college and got sick of the "muscle-heads" looking at my ass while I was on the treadmill. Gyms always position treadmills in the front (ladies) and weights in the back (men). I wanted a guy to notice me, but these "gentleman" didn't have half a brain!

So I left that JUNGLE gym and decided to join a RITZY gym. REAL RITZY! $80 a week ($320 a month). I signed a contract that had so many pages, you would've thought I was buying a house. HAHAHA

After paying all of that, I really didn't need a gym membership, because all of my food money went to them! HAHAHA  I was in college! I was super thin and the youngest there. The people there were very mature ladies and very mature men (old doctors & lawyers). Too mature for me! They didn't look at my ass. They were too busy checking their heart and pulse monitors. HaHaHa So, instead I ended up enjoying the gym's amenities. One amenity was Molton Brown (made in England) body wash. I fell in love with their Warming Eucalyptus. It was perfect after a workout. A powerful, yet pleasing scent! A fabulous lather! It was soothing to my muscles! My skin was soft! I Loved Molton Brown! Now here's my review of the Ylang Ylang Body Wash.

I seriously don't know what has happened to Molton Brown, but the formula is different. I read a lot of beauty reviews and there was chatter that their formula had changed (but I didn't believe them). Molton Brown recently changed ALL the names of their body washes, which I thought was odd. Ylang Ylang was formerly called Relaxing Yuan Zhi. There are TWO POSITIVES! The bottle it comes in looks exquisite! The scent is awesome! Now the problems. Once you pour it, the scent seriously dissipates as you shower (and I poured a lot, which I never had to do in the past). So it's weak! It lathered, but even that was weak. Molton Brown use to really lather with just a quarter size in your palm. I am SO DISAPPOINTED in this! It's $30 a bottle! I wish I could show you my facial expression right now. HaHaHa I really thought Molton Brown was going to knock it out the park! I want to knock this bottle out my bathroom! HAHAHA It breaks my heart to say this, but I can't recommend it. Nobody has money to waste. I'm going to use this as hand wash. I'm going to purchase their Eucalyptus (formerly Warming Eucalyptus) and do a review on it (I know crazy). I'm interested in seeing, if it's just limited to their Ylang-Ylang formula (I hope so and will let you know). I challenge anyone to purchase AVEENO®s Stress Relief Body Wash and compare it to Molton Brown's Ylang Ylang! I know it sounds super crazy, but AVEENO® puts this to shame. The scent is better. It lathers better. It's MUCH cheaper. It makes your skin softer. PLUS IT RELAXES YOU AND PUTS YOU TO SLEEP! This just goes to show you, more expensive does not equal better. Save your $30 on this one. I'm not trying to make Molton Brown look bad! I'm not trying to make AVEENO look good! I'm just speaking the truth! I told you the story above, because I KNOW what the ORIGINAL was like (the plus of being older). Someone just trying Molton Brown for the first time, doesn't know. BTW, there was NOTHING relaxing about this body wash. HAHAHA You see how much I'm typing!!! Do I SOUND relaxed? LOL :P
