Small haul from Bath and Body Works

Here is a small, cute haul from Bath and Body Works (I don't know if 3 items is considered a haul!).  Anyway, I got one of the new, very cute, Spring room sprays in the Bahama Fizz scent!  The packaging is so cute, I don't know what else to say about it.  They have several room sprays that are bird themed.  The scents are Bahama Fizz, Peach Bellini, Island Margarita, Beach Cabana, and Tiki Beach.  They are all great smelling and have adorable packaging.  You can find them on this page: 

Concentrated Room Sprays or in your local stores.  I also got a free preview sized lotion of one of their new three scents.  My son got the other one for me.  Bath and Body Works has a coupon offer on Facebook to get a free preview sized lotion this weekend only.  You have to accept the offer on Facebook and they email you a coupon to the email address that you used to sign up for Facebook.  Go to the Bath and Body Works facebook page to find the offer if it wasn't posted to your wall on Friday (that would only be if you "liked" their page on Facebook).  You can go to the page to  find the offer even if you didn't "like" their page.   I also, purchased the new Renew and Refresh scented Home Fragrance Oil (HFO), but it is not in the picture because I already put it to use in the family room!  I love it.  You must try it!  I believe that you will love it, too!    

Happy Shopping!

More Winter/Christmas products

I went into Bath and Body Works during my lunch to pick up a couple of new things.  I had a couple of coupons to use.  I figured since some new products were available, I might as well go in real quick and pick some things up.  I split my purchases up into three transactions so that I could use three different coupons. 

My first transaction consisted of two new Home Fragrance Oils (HFOs) for $5.00 each so that I could use a spend $10 get a free body care item up to $13.  The two HFOs that I purchased and their descriptions from the Bath and Body Works website are:

Shea Butter - Super Rich Shower Cream - Lay it on Thick $6 each or 3 for $12-

I really like the Shea Butter -Super Rich Shower Cream.  I've used it before in the full sized option, so I knew that was going to be my choice.  It really leaves your skin smooth and silky.  You feel like you don't even have to use any lotion or body cream when you get out of the shower.  I definitely recommend this to those out there that feel that they need a really good moisturizing shower cream.

Some new Winter products from Bath and Body Works

I have not posted anything recently that I have bought at Bath and Body Works, so I decided to post just a couple of things.  The Winter shopping season is upon us and Fall barely started.  Bath and Body Works is always a season ahead!  This Fall is no different because on Monday, October 8, 2012, Bath and Body Works will officially (I say officially because a lot of stores are already putting Winter stuff out) begins selling their Winter products and all of the wonderful Christmas items.  All of the Fall 2012 products will be going away on October 29, 2012.  That seems kind of early to me, but I guess they have to make room for even more new, Winter products at that time. 

The first new item I bought were the new for Winter, 'Tis The Coziest Shea Infused socks.  These are very nice and comfy!  They were only $12.50 each.  I really really like these! 
 

I also purchased some really pretty, new, blinged out pumps for the lotions and shower gels.  These caught my eye as soon as I went in the store.  They were displayed with the Cashmere Glow items.  I don't particularly care for Cashmere Glow, but a lot of people do and these pumps go perfectly with that line (they go with other packaging, too)!  These were $3.50 each.   

Next, they have a new, pretty, sparkly bottle of soap.  It comes in 3 new scent Kitchen Lemon, Citrus Garland and Cranberry Tangerine.  I got the Kitchen Lemon.  It smells really great!  These are $12.00 each. 

They also had a couple of new Concentrated Room Sprays (CRS) in Winter and Frosted Cranberry.  I decided to purchase these since they smelled pretty good.  The didn't have the home fragrance oils (HFO) out, yet to match, but they will be coming.  They did have Fresh Balsam HFO so I decided to purchase that since it is my son's favorite Winter scent!  The Frosted Cranberry CRS smells really good and has a sweet scent.  It lasted pretty long when I used it in my home for the first time.  I will buy more of this scent in the future.  Both the Concentrated Room Sprays and Home Fragrance Oils are $5.00 each. 

They also had one new Christmas/Winter, regular hand soap and pocketbac out.  The scent they had was Winter Cranberry.  This scent smells really great and I will be picking up some more as soon as I make it back to the store.  The soaps are $5.50 each or 4 for $15 and 6 for $20.  The pocketbacs were $1.50 each or 5 for $5.00. 

This is just a preview of what I purchased, but there will surely be A LOT more to come especially after Monday, October 8, 20012.  I will keep you all posted!

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!
