| - Inside the Grand Canal Shops at The Venetian is Basin White. You can actually -smell- it before you get to the store, by at least 10 feet. Fresh and clean, it's a paradise of get-you-clean stuff that really does what it says.
At least 20 different scents of bath bombs, salts, soaps, body butters, lotions, shave products are packed into this very organized shop. They always have the upcoming holiday represented in at least 3 specialty soaps- right now Halloween is getting the top billing. The Pumpkin Spice smells so wonderful, spicy and sweet. In the shape of a smiling jack-o-lantern, I was about to buy it when I picked up the Bats one. It is a funky pastiche of silly bats flying in the night sky, kinda Goth-y. But this smells of perfection and happiness! It's a carbonated lemon-lime scent, bringing up memories of when I was a kid getting those crazy Bonnie Bell lip tins at Christmastime in my stocking! It was a total scent flashback! Had to get it.
I also picked up their all-natural lip scrub in Sangria flavor. It's just white sugar, olive oil, avocado butter and flavoring. Wow, just so yummy! Scrub it into your lips, get all those flaky skincells off your smacker and LICK IT OFF. Yes, that's how they said it was best to remove it. No tissue, no rinsing, you eat it! I'm sold on this product, it's great.
Staff is very helpful and friendly. They told me that there's only 3 Basin White's in the USA?! Disneyland, Disneyworld, and Las Vegas. Plus it's a family-owned business, so that's cool in my book.
Some items seem pricier than others. Lipscrub was $8, but a big tub of bodyscrub was $35. They do discounts of multiple items purchased, and they have giftbags for sale as well.
Totally worthwhile and a fun place to checkout!
