Candle Addiction


I am addicted to the Bath and Body Works candles.  I wanted a few more Fall scents so I went to a couple of stores to find these (this was last weekend on Oct. 21st) .  Mostly all of the Fall candles are sold out in stores and I prefer not to order candles from online.  I purchased the one of the 3-wick Pumpkin Caramel Latte and two of the Creamy Pumpkin.  The 4oz candles were 2 for $10 the day I purchased these and I bought two 4oz Leaves scented candles.  I was able to get a free item up to $13 with any $10 purchase, so I got a free Aromatherapy Stress Relief Eucalyptus Tea body lotion.  It is one of their newer scents so I decided to get it to give as a gift during the holidays.  I also picked up two pocketbacs that were on sale for 50% off.

Another 2 for $20 sale at Bath and Body Works


Hello all!  I wanted to let you all know that Bath and Body Works is having another 2 for $20 3-wick candle sale this weekend.  It started today (Oct. 11, 2012) and it goes through Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012.  I had a survey coupon for $10 off $30 purchase, so I got 3 3-wick candles for $20.  I love these sales and it has come at a great time because they just started releasing their Winter/Christmas products in store.  I know "Test" stores have had these items out for a while, but there are not "Test" stores near me.  The three candles I purchased and their descriptions from the Bath and Body Works Website are:

Snowed In -
Escape the frigid winter wind, wrap up in your coziest blanket and warm up this inspiring blend of fresh juniper, sugared sap and sage for the perfect day in!
  • Highly fragranced candle exclusively developed and tested by our team of Home Fragrance experts, including the world's best master perfumers
  • Made using the highest concentration of fragrance oils, an exclusive blend of vegetable wax and lead-free wicks for optimal performance
  • 3-wick candle burns approximately 30 to 45 hours
  • 4" wide x 3 1/2" tall
  • Includes elegant gold lid to keep your fave fragrance fresh, while adding a touch of décor
Cashmere -
Wrap up in the soft and comforting fragrance of warm ginger, sweet amber and creamy vanilla, as the first snow of the season falls gently to the ground.
  • Highly fragranced candle exclusively developed and tested by our team of Home Fragrance experts, including the world's best master perfumers
  • Made using the highest concentration of fragrance oils, an exclusive blend of vegetable wax and lead-free wicks for optimal performance
  • 3-wick candle burns approximately 30 to 45 hours
  • 4" wide x 3 1/2" tall
  • Includes elegant gold lid to keep your fave fragrance fresh, while adding a touch of décor
Hot Buttered Rum -
A rich, indulgent treat perfect for a frosty, winter's night, made from a cozy blend of buttered rum and smooth caramel with a hint of bourbon.
  • Highly fragranced candle exclusively developed and tested by our team of Home Fragrance experts, including the world's best master perfumers
  • Made using the highest concentration of fragrance oils, an exclusive blend of vegetable wax and lead-free wicks for optimal performance
  • 3-wick candle burns approximately 30 to 45 hours
  • 4" wide x 3 1/2" tall
  • Includes elegant gold lid to keep your fave fragrance fresh, while adding a touch of décor
I really like all of these new candles.  I think the one I am looking forward to burning the most is the Snowed In candle.  I have read a lot of good things about it and seen video reviews on YouTube.  Once I have burned it, I will let you all know how it burned and how the throw was.  The Hot Buttered Rum candle is really for my husband.  He wanted one about a week ago, but I told him I would wait for another 2 for $20 sale because I really do not want to pay $20 for one candle. 

Also pictured are two of the new Forever Red preview Eau de Parfums.  They are going to be $10 each, but since they have just released the previews online (about a week ago) and in-store today (Oct. 11, 2011), they are only $5 each.  I was lucky enough to receive a test bottle over a month ago so that I could test it and give feedback.  They also gave test bottles out to influential customers so that they could help spread the word about it and get it hyped up so that there would be much anticipation.
 
Here is the description of Forever Red Eau de Parfum from the website:
A touch of red is pure magic! Enjoy our most luxurious fragrance ever, as you lavishly spray on a passionate blend of pomegranate & red osmanthus with a sexy surprise of vanilla rum, for a forever enchanting way to fragrance. 
  • Top Notes: Fiery Pomegranate, Rare French Peach, Luminous Apple
  • Mid Notes: Red Peony, Night Marigold, Red Osmanthus
  • Dry Notes: Rich Vanilla Rum, Velvety Marshmallow, Oak Wood
I personally really love this scent.  It is usually hard for me to wear a lot of different perfumes because of my allergies, but this scent does not irritate me in the least bit.  I was really happy about that when I first tested it.  I smell a lot of the "Velvety Marshmallow" and the "Luminous Apple".  It is a very nice scent.  I think people will be surprised just how good it smells and hopefully, it will do well once the full line comes out so that it will be on the shelves of Bath and Body Works for a long time!

Last but not least, I got another free, full-sized Stress Relief Aromatherapy - Eucalyptus Tea body wash for free!  I got it free because I had a coupon for spend $10 and get a free body care item up to $13.  My $10 purchase was the 2 preview Forever Red Eau de Parfum.  They were $5 each as stated above, and the Eucalyptus Tea body wash was $13 so it falls within the parameters of the coupon.

Remember, on regular days (non Black Friday), you can only use one coupon per transaction (unless they came together in a mailer, then you can use those together).  So, I had to do two transactions to use the survey coupon for $10 off  $30, and the spend $10 transaction to get the free item up to $13.

Newest Bath and Body Works Haul


Bath and Body Works has started selling new items for the 2012 Winter/Christmas season.  I was in the store to return something, but I couldn't leave without purchasing a couple of the new items they had available.  I purchased two full sized Twisted Peppermint hand sanitizers ($5.00 each).  I stumbled upon these towards the back of the store.  They were on the shelf with all of the other full sized hand sanitizers, but these were pushed back almost out of site.  Twisted Peppermint is a favorite of Bath and Body Works fans, so I'm sure once these are discovered by the masses, they will go really fast!  I also bought the new limited edition Aromatherapy Sleep - Honey Vanilla Dream body wash and body lotion.  In my opinion, these are amazing.  I actually used them last night for the first time, and it was really relaxing.  I believe in aromatherapy!  For purchasing the two fullsized hand sanitizers for $5.00 each, I got the new Aromatherapy Stress Relief - Eucalyptus Tea body wash for free with a coupon (spend $10 and get free body care item up to $13).  I'm still on the fence with this one, but I'm going to give it a try.  The last items that I purchased were two nail files for $1.00 each.
