The Basin stores at Disney are a couple of my FAVORITE places to shop while on vacation at Walt Disney World. Even if I’m not staying at The Grand Floridian, I still stop by to pick up certain Basin items that are exclusive to The Grand Floridian location. The store at The Grand is similar to the one at Disney Springs (located near the Arribas Brothers store) but has the distinction of being one of their “Basin White” shops. Certain items are sold exclusively under the Basin White label and are only available at flagship locations. I particularly like the Basin White Satsuma Shampoo Bar and the Sunny Grapefruit scent. I have been using shampoo and conditioner bars from Basin for almost a year now and I don’t know that I will ever go back to regular shampoo. They last forever (50 or so washes for long hair) and smell fantastic. Another stand out is the Scalp Smoother bar available at the Disney Springs store.

MUST HAVE MINI FAVORITES by h2o+ beauty – Unboxing and Haul.
This set contains 6 items from h2o+ beauty and is valued at $48. I recently shared photos of this on my Instagram (even though I purchased the set a couple months ago) and thought I would share some more here with you today. H2o+ is one of my favorite brands outside of the Sephora universe and I have been using their products for over a decade. I was first introduced to the brand because Disney Parks started carrying their products in their resorts. I fell in love with the sea kelp shampoo and conditioner instantly. It smells like heaven. In fact few smells are more nostalgic for me than the H2o+ Sea kelp shampoo and conditioner. I still have a couple of their older products around simply because they smell so good that I can’t bring myself to use the last little bit in the bottle and I generally am very good about purging my beauty products. The set featured above can be purchased online through h2oplus.com directly.
And a little pro-tip, I do recommend buying through them as they usually have better promotions than you will find anywhere else.
The 6 items included in this set are:
“1 Elements Keep it Fresh Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin – 2 Fl oz
1 Oasis Hydrating Treatment – .33 Fl oz
1 Infinity+ Renewing Youth Serum – .25 Fl oz
1 Waterbright Color Correcting Mask – .25 Fl oz
1 Sea Salt Body Wash – 2 Fl oz
1 Specialty Care Hand & Nail Cream – 2 Fl oz”*
*As described directly from h20plus.com
As I said, this was purchased a few months ago but it’s worth writing about now because everything in it is so great that I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again today. In fact I am out of everything in the set with exception of the hand cream and the sea salt body wash but only because I already had some of both before I purchased this. They truly are one of my staple brands. Anyone who has stayed at a Disney resort should be familiar with how lovely the sea salt body wash is. I personally stocked up on it during the holiday sale.
Other products that I must recommend by h2o+ plus would be any items from their Rapids Collection. I got a couple items from this line earlier this year and they were worth every penny.
I highly recommend watching it for anyone who might be on the fence about the brand or unfamiliar with it. I also suppose the fact that Disney uses the products in their resorts is probably a good indication that a brand is world class.
The mask is priced at $42 and works to brighten skin and fade dark spots. I especially like it because I have sensitive skin and have to avoid ingredients that are generally used to lighten dark spots such as vitamin C. And although this mask does contain vitamin C, it includes soothing ingredients to help balance out the irritation of the vitamin C for me. The mask contains ingredients such as aloe, pomelo extract, snow flake flower extract, and allantoin. The mask can be worn for 10 minutes or if you want to take it a step further, it can be used as an overnight mask.
It includes a body wash, body lotion, shampoo, and conditioner. All for only $12. That’s $3 a piece for travel bottles of luxury toiletries. Why pass up that kind of luck?
