More Cute Things

I forgot to post a couple of other cute, new items from Bath and Body Works.  There are so many new and cute items, it is easy to overlook some.  Here are two of them:

• A very cute, Diamond jewel soap topper. 

• Cute little cream colored bag with bling on them.  The bag contains travel sized Cashmere Glow items (lotion, shower gel, fragrance mist and a lip gloss (forgot the flavor, but it isn't called Cashmere Glow.  The bag was priced $25, but I hear it is soon going to be a purchase with purchase.  It will be $12.50 with a purchase of any Cashmere Glow item (not sure on the date this will happen).   



Please visit the Bath and Body Works website for more information and prices of their products. 

Fall at Bath and Body Works

I am a little late posting this, but during this month (Sept. 2012), I have been purchasing all of the newest items that Bath and Body Works has to offer (the ones I like that is).  This month is when they officially launched the new Fall body care.  The Fall body care consists of Dreamy Vanilla Woods, Honey Autumn Apple, Brown Sugar & Fig and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin.  They come in shower gel, triple moisture cream (TMC), lotion, fine fragrance mist (FFM), creamy body scrub and lipgloss (except Brown Sugar & Fig).  My favorite out of all of them is Honey Autumn Apple.  It smells devine and has a lasting apple scent.  I use the shower gel, triple moisture cream (TMC) - not pictured, lotion (every now and then) and the fine fragrance mist (FFM).  I also use the lip gloss in the same flavor.  They also have a body scrub, but I have not purchased it.

Here are the descriptions from the Bath and Body Works website:

I absolutely love the Fall, and I will soon post a lot of other photos of items that I have purchased already at Bath and Body Works for Fall. 

Fall Festival at White Barn Farms - Bath and Body Works - Sept. 15, 2012

I went to the Bath and Body Works Fall Fest party on Saturday.  The hours of the party were from 1pm to 5pm.  I got there at about a quarter til 2pm.  It was packed in there, and I could barely look around.  The first thing I noticed was that they had different stations around the store for the customer to interact with the Sales Associates (SA).  You could sign up for a raffle, listen to some creative ideas to decorate your table for Fall with cleaned out 3-wick candles, the scentportables and candle sleeves.  They were cute ideas, but I don't think I will be using any of them.  Anway, I looked around the store and knew I needed to buy at least one home fragrance item in order to get the free 4oz candle and little drawstring bag.  I also had a coupon that was for spend $10 and get a free item of your choice up to $13.  I also had another coupon for a percentage off a purchase. 

In order to get my full discounts and free items, I purchased the following:

1st purchase - I purchased another Cider Lane concentrated room spray and a Cider Lane home fragrance oil for $10.  I got another owl medium candle luminary for free (cost is $12.50 without coupon).  I had to get another one because the previous one I purchased had a crack in it. 

2nd purchase - I purchased 6 3-wick candles.  They were buy 2 for $20 and every one after the first two are $10.  I used a percentage off coupon and got what would cost around $180 at regular price for right under $40.  With this purchase, I got the free 4oz Pumpkin Carvings candle and drawstring bag.  The candles that I purchased were:

• Cinnamon Sugared Donut
• Pumpkin Caramel Latte
• Cider Lane
• Leaves
• Brandied Pear
• Mahogany Teakwood

You can go to the Bath and Body Works website for full descriptions of the candles.

3rd Purchase - I went back to the store to purchase 3 more 3-wick candles in hopes that I could still get a free 4oz Pumpkin Carvings candle and the little drawstring bag.  Well, I bought the candles that were 2 for $20.  I got 3 for $30 since after the first two the price is $10 for any additional ones you get.  I used a survey coupon for $10 off $30 purchase.  So, I paid just over $20 for the 3 candles that I bought.  Unfortunately, they were all out of the free 4oz candle and bags.  I was a little bummed, but at least, I had gotten one earlier in the day.  The 3 candles that I purchased were:

• Cider Lane
• Pumpkin Cupcake
• Lavendar Vanilla

Again, you can go to the Bath and Body Works website for full descriptions of the candles I purchased.   

I am pretty much addicted to the the 3-wick candles that Bath and Body Works sells.  It is a good think that I don't live near any of the Test Stores that are out there because they are always getting in new scents that don't always go to all of the stores, and I would want to buy them all!  I have many Bath and Body Works fan friends that I know online through FB, and they are always purchasing the new test scents.  They post pictures so that everyone can see what the candles look like, and they write great descriptions of them so everyone else can get a feel for what they smell like. 

The new Cashmere Glow signature scent was also for sale in stores at the party, but I personally do  not like the scent.  It is way to musky for me, and I am sure it would give me a headache and make me feel ill.  For that reason, I will not be purchasing it!  But I am still looking forward to the Forever Red launch!  I look forward to the new event that Bath and Body Works has planned! 



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!
