Bath and Body Works Spring Market Event

Here is a picture of my haul from the Bath and Body Works Spring Market Event that took place on Saturday, March 9, 2013.  If you purchased a home fragrance item, then you got a free 4 oz Market Peach candle as a free gift..  I did two transactions and received two free gifts. 

I bought two more of one of my favorite scents at Bath and Body Works.  Pineapple Orchid is an amazing scent!  If you have not tried it, then you really should.  It is sweet and beautiful!  This 3 wick candle also burns perfectly.  I have not had any problems with it tunnelling or with the flames.  You should definitely check this one out before it it is gone for the season.  I also purchased four of the the wallflower bulbs in the same scent.  I currently have this scent in three rooms throughout my home.  I'm surely addicted to this wonderful scent.  I picked up two candle holders which hold either the mini candles or the small 4 oz candles. 

The last items that I picked up were the Pink Chiffon hand creams.  I was waiting and waiting for these to show up in my local stores.  A friend of mine posted online that they purchased one on Friday evening, so that is one of the first things I looked for when I arrived at the store on Saturday.  One of the Sales Associates actually ran up to me and pulled one from her apron just in case by the time I showed up they were all gone.  She said that she knew I would show up sooner or later on Saturday.  I really love the scent.  It feels nice and smooth, but after a little while, my hands were itching like crazy.  I don't know if it was a one time thing or not, but I'm going to try it again on another day to see what my reaction is.  I hope that it doesn't make me itch like that again because I will have to return them.

Overall, I had a great shopping experience.  All of the SAs and the manager were so kind and helpful like usual.  My store didn't hand out free samples like some other stores did, but maybe, they will hand some out at future events.  I used two survey coupons for $10 off of $30, and got the two free gifts, so that made me happy!

Happy Shopping!   

Bath & Body Works NEW & Improved Shower Gel

Bath & Body Works NEW Shower Gel

I received the New Shea Enriched Shower Gel in the 2012 Latina VoxBox that was sent to me by Influenster (www.Influenster.com) earlier in August. I loved the product so much that I went out and bought a full sized bottle (original scent sent was Paris Amour, but bought the full size in Pink Chiffon (one of my favorite scents).  The product was complimentary to test and review.  The product information/review page on the Influenster website states the following about the Shea Enriched Shower Gel:   NEW & Improved! Shower Gel NOW WITH SHEA! Bath & Body Works exclusive formula is now enriched with Shea Butter, making it the richest, bubbliest lather that gives you softer, cleaner skin.Moisturizing Aloe Vera and skin-loving Vitamin E combine for lather that bursts with fragrance!F Exclusively at Bath & Body Works.

This is the product description for the Pink Chiffon Shea Enriched Shower Gel from the Bath and Body Works website:

The Shea Enriched Shower Gel that was included in the Latina VoxBox was the 3oz bottle.  They also have a Full Sized 10oz bottle.  I appreciate the fact that it comes in travel size because it is easy to pack and go.   

Ok, enough of all of the formal descriptions.  I just want to let it be known that I am a Bath and Body Works Junkie!  I'm addicted to the place.  I love their body care and their home fragrance selections.  So, you can only imagine the joy and excitement that I felt when I opened up the Latina VoxBox for the first time!  I was elated!  I have used the old version of the shower gel, so I was able to make a comparison between the old and the new Shea Enriched version.  Let me tell you, the new one was much more bubbly, and the lather was awesome!  This new version literally makes me want to hop in the shower even when I really don't feel like it.  You don't have to use very much either to get that clean feeling.  It only takes about the size of a quarter.  Not only does it do a wonderful job of cleansing, it smells fantastic!  The scent fills the bathroom up for long after I'm finished showering.  This Shea Enriched shower gel does not leave a film or residue on your skin once you are out of the shower and dry!  The shower gel leaves your skin silky, smooth and soft!  I can't say enough great things about this product.  I just want to thank Bath and Body Works and Influenster for giving me the chance to review such a great product from a company that I already LOVE!  The pricing for this product is perfect especially since you can really get a lot of bang for your buck with coupons, receipt surveys for $10 off of $30 purchase and all of the ongoing sales.  I definitely recommend this new Shea Enriched Shower Gel to my family and friends.  I recommend all of the products at Bath and Body Works!   

One last note, you can find Bath & Body Works products at a registered retail store near you or on their website at  www.bathandbodyworks.com!  Suggested retail price of the new Shea Enriched Shower Gel: $11.00 (Full Size, 10oz.), $5.00 (Mini Shower Gel, 3oz.)  Let me tell you how to get more for your money.  Bath and Body Works has an ongoing sale on the Signature Collection line, and that sale is B3G2 or B2G1.  So, if you want to get the full ritual which consists of the Body Lotion ($11), Shea Enriched Shower Gel ($11) and the Fine Fragrance Mist ($14), then you can get two more items (of equal or lesser value) for free!  Also, they have an ongoing sale on the mini sized signature items.  This ongoing sale is 3 for $10.  So, you can get more bang for your buck by purchasing 3 for $10.  One last side note, you can mix and match any of the Signature Collection scents.  Don't forget to use your $10 off $30 survey coupons that come on the bottom part of the receipts, and the other coupons that they hand out in store or the ones they mail to your home! 

Just to show how much of a Bath & Body Works fan I am!  This is only from the Summer '12 SAS!
