Written by Kathryn D'Imperio Wednesday, 17 June 2009 19:54

In case you were wondering, both Bath & Body Works Pleasures Sweet Pea Shower Gel and Suave Naturals Sweet Pea and Violet Indulgent Body Wash offer a delightful aroma of fragrant and flowery sweet pea essences. They are both a lovely shade of pink and also produce a rich and foamy lather to enhance your bathing experience.
Both Bath & Body Works Pleasures Sweet Pea Shower Gel and Suave Naturals Sweet Pea and Violet Indulgent Body Wash offer benefits and a pleasant showering session, from the fragrance to the softness of your skin after the shower. You might notice other similarities about the two shower gel products or you might find that you like one product over the other.
In my experience, I found enough similarities between the two sweet pea shower gel products that I would not necessarily place my loyalties with one over the other, except perhaps if I had to pay full price for the Bath & Body Works product. Then I would more likely spend my money on the Suave equivalent, as there is not a strong enough difference for me personally to want to pay $6 or $7 more for two ounces less of one product over another.
To give you a clear picture of the similarities and differences of both Bath & Body Works Pleasures Sweet Pea Shower Gel and Suave Naturals Sweet Pea and Violet Indulgent Body Wash, I’ve decided to compile some data below. Enjoy the findings! I hope this helps you to decide if you must stick with the name brand or if you are willing to save a few bucks and go with the cheaper product.
