Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale Preview

The Bath and Body Works website is having an Exclusive Preview Sale Event.  This is a preview to the Semi Annual Sale which begins on June 12th in most areas.  I know some stores in Colorado have already started their Semi Annual Sale.  During this sale, you can find items that are discounted up to 75% off and sometimes 90% off.  Going to the website using this link will take you to $3 signature scents, $6 double pack wallflowers, current 50% off items which will more than likely go to 75% once the in store sale gets going on June 12, 2013 and many other sale items.  This is the time to stock up and make sure you use your coupons! 

Happy Shopping! 

It's a Beautiful Day

at Bath and Body Works! 

I went to Bath and Body Works this weekend and picked up some things.  They were having a sale on lip glosses for $5 each, so I picked up two of the C.O. Bigelow My Favorite Night Balm.  It is a wonderful product.  They had a Facebook free offer for the new Beautiful Day fragrance EDT.  I picked up one of those with the coupon.  I also got several more because the sales associate said that they were ringing up buy 2 get 2 like the other signature collection items.  They were $3 each so, I picked up 8 more for only $12.

I have been using Winter scents for so long and I was getting tired of them, so I needed to pick up some new soaps in Spring scents.  I also picked up some new ones for the kitchen.  I got one in Sparkling Pink Champagne for around a $1 because it was on clearance from Winter.  I also picked up a couple of last year's Fresh Picked hand creams.  I got the Fresh Picked Apples and Pears for only $2 each.  I got the Honey Sweetheart Fine Fragrance Mist for free with a coupon (spend $10 get free item up to $14 free). 

I picked up three of the discontinued Citron cologne for a little over $4 each because they were on clearance.  My son loves that scent, so he asked me to buy him a few to last him a while.  The last item I purchased was the new Fresh Picked Tangerine Hard Working Hand & Body Cream.  This was free with a coupon, too.  It was free because the coupon was a spend $10 get a free item up to $14 free.  The hand and body cream was $8, so it fell within the parameters of the coupon.

Shopping at Bath and Body Works is always a great experience for me.  I always use coupons when shopping there and you should, too!  There is always a great deal to be had!  I will be going back this weekend because they are having a Spring Market Preview Event on Saturday, March 9, 2013 from 1pm - 5pm.  You should all go and check it out.  They are giving a free gift with a home fragrance purchase while supplies last.  The free gift is a 4 oz candle in a cute little bag. 

Happy Shopping!       

Bath and Body Works - New Soaps, Oil Burner and Preview Lotion

I went to Bath and Body Works this past Monday and picked up a few items.  I really wanted to try their new hand soaps that are Triclosan free.  People have been asking for a non-antibacterial formula, and now they have one.  There are four new scents in this line:

 

Pear Chardonnay

Vanilla Maple Cream

Applewood Orchard

Sweet Plum Wine

I chose to purchase only two of them.  They are $9.50 each, and that is a little pricey for a hand soap, but they are definitely worth it.  The two that I chose are Pear Chardonnay and Vanilla Maple Cream. 

Pear Chardonnay is described on the Bath and Body Works website as follows:

Our lavish new-for-fall formula leaves hands lightly scented with a lush blend of crisp pears, sugared apple, sparkling tropical fruits, smooth caramel and vanilla extract.

• Made with moisturizing Aloe and nourishing Vitamin E
• Pear Chardonnay is a dramatic blend of crisp pears, sugared apple, sparkling tropical fruits, smooth caramel and vanilla extract.
• A luxurious collection inspired by all the unforgettable fragrances of fall, in round, elegant bottles

Vanilla Maple Cream is described as follows:

Our lavish new-for-fall formula leaves hands lightly scented with a decadent recipe of warm vanilla, fresh ground cinnamon and whipped buttercream with a maple syrup kiss.

• Made with moisturizing Aloe and nourishing Vitamin E
• Vanilla Maple Cream is a decadent recipe of warm vanilla, fresh ground cinnamon, whipped buttercream and a touch of maple syrup.
• A luxurious collection inspired by all the unforgettable fragrances of fall, in round, elegant bottles

I really like both scents.  The Pear Chardonnay is a very crisp, pear smelling scent.  The Vanilla Maple Cream is a very sweet, maple and vanilla scent.  Both fragrances are winners in my book.  The soaps are a gentle formula, and they didn't dry my hands out like some of the anti-bacterial hand soaps out there.  I would give these soaps two thumbs up!  They are fall fragrances, so I don't think they will be around forever, so go out and buy some!  Remember to use coupons to get more bang for your buck.  Check your receipts for the $10 off of $30 survey coupon.  It like buying two and getting one for free.  You have got to love free! 

For full descriptions of each new hand soap, please visit the Bath and Body Works website.

I also picked up two of their new preview lotions in Cashmere Glow.  This scent has a musky tone and I don't think it is best for me.  It states that it has a peach note, but I don't smell peach in it at all.  I know that everyone has a different nose, so go out and try it.  The Previews are only $1.  I do not believe that I will be purchasing the full ritual when it comes out because I like more fruity/sweet scents.  I think this one is too deep for me.  **UPDATE as of 9/20/12 - I was in a store and the previews are NOW $2 each!**

Here is the description of Cashmere Glow from the Bath and Body Works website: 

Every girl deserves cashmere! Fragrance skin with a warm blend of golden peach and shimmering vanilla wrapped in cashmere musk. Our exclusive hydrating formula contains skin-softening shea butter, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E for all-day fragrance and moisture, making it the perfect everyday lotion.

• Shea butter, fast absorbing Jojoba oil and protective Vitamin E deliver all-day moisture and fragrance.
• Our exclusive Cashmere Glow fragrance is a warm blend of golden peach and shimmering vanilla with a heart of soft cashmere musk.
• Key Fragrance Notes: Peach, Vanilla, Musk 

If you go to the Facebook Bath and Body Works page, click on highlights on the drop down at the top of the page, then they have an offer this weekend only for a FREE preview of Cashmere Glow.

The last item that I purchased was a ceramic Owl oil burner to burn the Home Fragrance Oils (HFOs) that I purchase at Bath and Body Works.  I thought it was so cute, and I just had to have it!  Owls seem to be very popular this Fall.  I've seen them all over the place.  Anyway, I already have a couple of burners, but the ceramic ones that Bath and Body Works sells are pretty good and always put out enough heat to release the HFOs scent so that the whole house smells great!  Just as a side note, my favorite Fall HFOs are Cider Lane, Leaves and Marshmallow Fireside!  I actually really like most of the ones that they have out right now.  If you have not given them a try, then you should.  I think you will be very happy with your purchase!
