Ulta Fall 2014 Limited Edition Lotion Review

Mmm fall in New England is perfect and my absolute favorite time of year. I love everything about fall... the changing leaves, cool fresh air, apple picking, and the scents! So when I saw Ulta released new fall fragrances I had to get a few!

Amber Sparkle is described as Citrus & Amber.
Scent: It has a soft, warm citrus scent mixed with amber and a touch of vanilla. When I first apply this, I smell fruity citrus with a subtle hint of vanilla. After about an hour, I can really smell the amber. The amber is a little powder-y but in a good, warm way. The scent lasts a long time, about 4 hours on my skin and sometimes it lingers on my clothes. This lotion has a perfume-like quality which I love!
Lotion Quality: The lotion itself absorbs quickly and hydrates okay. I really like how non-greasy this lotion is. ** I don't expect much hydration from these scented lotions, they're mostly for fun! If you would like some intense hydration, come back and check out my DIY Body Butter Tutorial, coming soon!
Packaging: The bottle is a good size and easy to squeeze. The top is nice and firm. 
Final Thoughts: I would definitely recommend! I love this scent and I think it will appeal to many people. It has a touch of fruit, vanilla and amber. 
Sweet Spice is described as Chai & Spice. 
Scent: This is totally a gourmand (food-based) scent. When I first apply this, I smell classic chai spice - cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger and a bit of licorice. This spice isn't sharp though because there's a creamy quality to this, almost like a creamy chai latte. After about thirty minutes, the creaminess goes away and I'm left with just spice. I love how real the spice smells with this lotion - it's not fake or chemically at all. Yum! This scent doesn't last nearly as long, only about two hours. 
Lotion Quality: The lotion performs the same as Amber Sparkle. Absorbs quickly, non-greasy and no film.
Packaging: Same as Amber Sparkle. Great sized bottle and nice firm cap.
Final Thoughts: I would buy this only if you like gourmand scents. And if you're okay with a rather short-lived scent.
