Gain x Wicked: For Good Fantabulous Floral Flings Laundry Detergent Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In 2025, the laundry detergent brand Gain, as well as many other brands, released collaboration collections to promote the movie, Wicked: For Good. The collection Gain released included a detergent and two in-wash scent boosters.

During a shopping trip to my favorite Walmart, I found the Gain collection for sale. It had the detergent and one of the two scent boosters. I debated if I wanted to buy them, but after shopping around the store some more, I decided to buy the detergent and scent boosters.

I originally planed on using the detergent and scent boosters and then write a review on this blog before the end of 2025. Unfortunately, things got in my way, causing me to delay using both the detergent and scent booster for my wash. Even though it is 2026, I wanted to talk about my experience using them in posts. As of the publishing of this post, the only product I was able to finish using is the detergent. Because of this, I want to talk about the detergent first.

Favorite Pieces from The Devil Wears Prada 2 x Scoop Collection at Walmart

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The world premiere of the movie, The Devil Wears Prada 2, was on Monday, April 20, 2026. Due to the popularity of the first movie and the amount of time it took for the sequel to come to fruition, it looks like The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be a popular movie. Also, it looks like there will be merchandise inspired by the movie for fans to buy.

One of the tie-in collections and merchandise with The Devil Wears Prada 2 movie is with Walmart’s in-house clothing brand, Scoop. The collection includes clothing, shoes, jewelry, and accessories. The clothing has a business casual style and would be great for the office and going out after work.

After looking through the collection, I decided to pick my favorite pieces from the collection and show them in a post. As of the publishing of this post, some of the sizes and colors of the clothing are sold out. Keep this in mind before shopping for the pieces in this collection!

All product photographs used in this post are from the product listings on Walmart’s website. The photographs have been edited by me for this post. This post is not sponsored and all opinions are my own.

Bath and Body Works’ 2026 Disney Princess Favorite Products

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Almost two weeks ago, Bath and Body Works released their Disney Princess Collection for 2026. They previously released a Disney Princess collection in 2025. Both collections have six scents inspired by six Disney Princesses. They include Belle, Tiana, Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White. The 2026 collection has four new scents (Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White) inspired by Princesses that were not a part of the 2025 collection. In addition to these four new scents, two previous scents (Belle and Tiana) from the 2025 collection were rereleased and a seventh scent (Life is a Fairy Tale) that was not inspired by a specific princess were released for the 2026 collection. The scents were available in multiple products and merchandise inspired by specific Princesses and the Disney Princess brand were released as well.

I wrote a post about the description of each of the fragrances in this year’s collection. (You can read it here) In this post, I wanted to share my favorite products in this collection. There are many things I like about this collection, so my list is long. Unfortunately, I decided to skip this collection and not purchase from it. Still, I enjoyed browsing it as was heavily tempted to buy several items from it!

 

All the product photographs in this post are from Bath and Body Works’ official listings for each of the products. All the pricing information is also from the same listings as well. Not all the products mentioned in this post are available as of the publishing of this post.

Bath and Body Works’ 2026 Disney Princess Scents and Scent Notes

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Over a week ago, Bath and Body Works released their 2026 Disney Princess Collection. This collection is the second collection in their Disney Princess line. The line, which was originally released in 2025, is a limited edition collection of scents and products inspired by Disney’s Princesses. Each line has six fragrances in it, with each scent inspired by a different princess.

This year, Bath and Body Works released a new collection inspired by the Disney Princesses. There are two returning scents from the 2025 collection and four new fragrances inspired by the Princesses. The four new Princesses in this collection are Aurora, Rapunzel, Mulan, and Snow White while the returning Princesses are Bell and Tiana. The four new Princess inspirations are different than the ones featured in the 2025 collection. There is also a seventh new scent in the collection called Life’s a Fairytale.

I’m late to the social media bandwagon for this collection (And a lot of other things as well) but I decided to write two posts about the collection: One that talks about the scents in the collection and one that talks about my favorite products in the collection. I think the scents are more important to talk about when deciding what to buy in the collection, so I’m going to start with that.

All the product photographs in this post are from Bath and Body Works’ official listings for the fine fragrance mists. The information about the fragrances are from the official listings for the fine fragrance mists. All the scents mentioned in this post are available as fine fragrance mists, diamond shimmer mist, body wash, ultimate hydration body cream, foaming hand soap, wallflower fragrance refill, 3-wick candle, single wick candle, PocketBac hand sanitizer, and lip gloss.

The Sale of Warner Brothers, The CW, and Panic Buying My Favorite TV Shows on DVD

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The sale of Warner Brothers has been really huge news for quite some time. It isn’t every day a studio as large, well known, and is over 100 years old begins the process to sell it’s assets (Including the actual studios, catalogue, and more) and start to close it’s doors.

When I heard about it, it was just a small rumbling my friends heard about. Now, we know what they heard wasn’t a rumor and it was the truth. Yet, I began to wonder what would happen if Warner Brothers did close. What would happen to a lot of movies and TV shows I love? Will they still exist on DVD still or will they be available via streaming services only?

After thinking about this for months, I finally decided to star buying my favorite TV shows and movies on DVD.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Wicked: For Good, the second and last movie in the movie series inspired by the musical Wicked, will be premiering in theaters this week. Just like with the previous movie, there are plenty of products inspired by the movie. Although there are many brands offering products inspired by the movies, Ulta Beauty has the most Wicked inspired beauty products.

While browsing the collection, I found many interesting products. Yet, there are some that stood out to me more than others. I wanted to share all the products I like the most, so I decided to compile all my favorites into one post with their names and prices. Some of the products in this post have already sold out, so please keep that in mind if you find something to purchase.

Clueless x Makeup Revolution Lipgloss Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In June, I discovered my closet Walmart had the Clueless x Makeup Revolution collection in the beauty department. The collection was created to celebrate the movie’s 30th anniversary. (I can’t believe it’s been that long since it came out!) I was really excited about it, but I also didn’t need makeup at that time. After browsing the collection for a few weeks, before and after a restock of the collection, I finally decided to buy one thing from it: A tube of lip gloss.

The lip gloss I picked is in the color Dionne, but I also found the color called Pink Halo. After using it for a few weeks, I decided to write a review post on the gloss.

Skylar x The Summer I Turned Pretty Perfume Trio Feature

Published on by essieofwho2 Comments

Back in the early 2010’s, I discovered The Summer I Turned Pretty novel series. I read it, like them, and then moved onto other books that were newly released. Many years later, a series based off the series was released on Amazon. Although I was excited to see the series, the books will always be my favorite way to experience the story.

Even though I like the series, I felt conflicted about buying the tie in merchandise. Although they were really pretty and were my style, I felt they were too youthful for me. So, I skipped on purchasing many of the merchandise. The ones I purchased are items I really like and make me happy to this day. Three of the products I purchased were the Skylar x The Summer I Turned Pretty perfume collection.

I love the fragrances a lot, I decided to save reviewing each of the fragrances for future posts. Instead, I will be focusing on the collaboration packaging and if they are truly worth purchasing.

Books I Read in January 2025

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It is a new year and so far it has been a busy one! Along with my normal job, I’ve been busy with things that happened in the latter half of 2024. One of those things was my mixer broke. From December 23 through the first weekend of January, I had plans to bake and freeze food (Such as cookies and muffins) to eat in the first half of 2025, but I couldn’t because I was without a mixer. Even though I ordered a new mixer, it didn’t show up until mid January. Since I allocated a lot of time to bake, I spent this time reading.

I do not consider myself a fast reader, yet, in January, I was able to read three books the whole way through. Some of the books I’m really enjoying while others I am not. Still, I wanted to talk about them in a post, just in case I don’t remember to talk about them on this blog again!

Makeup Revolution x Finding Nemo Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I spotted a few collaboration makeup collections available on a permanent basis at my closet Walmart. They were located in the same section as the same makeup brand that is part of the collaboration. Normally, collaborations at my Walmart can be found in their own special display or on an end cap in the beauty section.

One of the collections I saw was Makeup Revolution x Finding Nemo. When the collection was originally released, I didn’t browse the collection very well. This time I decided to take a more serious browse.
