Alas the Bath & Body Works haul. I didn't spend as much as I thought I would. I generally try to make a list of the products that I know I'd want in order to stay within my budget. Sadly, there wasn't anything in particular that caught my eye. I just knew that I needed to stock back up on body wash, body cream, and hand soap. The candles didn't make a significant impression on me either. Through out the holidays I only purchased ONE candle : Mint Mocha Bark , a White Barn candle. It smells just as it is supposed to. A beautiful blend of mocha and mint. Every time I burn it, I want mint chocolate chip ice cream. I would've picked up Merry Cookie but I didn't get a chance to take a sniff. I also think if there were better deals on the candles, I would've picked some up. The same day that I went to B&BW, the candles were going for $12. I got 12 products for $30.12 with my first transaction with a $20 off of $50 coupon and I can't recall how I did the two hand soaps but I used 1 coupon and it came out to less than $3.50 in the second transaction. I thought I did pretty good. Here's what I got:
I purchased the Sugar Plum Dream body cream before the sale with a free body cream coupon and I got so many compliments of this scent that I had to pick up 2 more. Frosted Wonderland smells like a smooth creamy coconut confection. French Lavender Honey smells like a smooth lavender and hints of honey, definitely not overbearing . I'm no stranger to the sensual Amber Blush, warm notes of vanilla musk and amber. Lastly, the Pink Jasmine Kiss & Blackberry fragrance reminded me of the Black Raspberry Vanilla that I got at the last SAS in June 2014, so I had to give this one a go. Smells like a glass of blackberry moscato :).
Vanilla Bean Noel, an unexpected love. This fragrance is my favorite holiday scent. In store, I wasn't able to get a good sniff of it until I got home. I usually don't buy more than one of the same fragrance just in case I disliked the scent. This was completely accidental & I'm so happy that I have these babies. The body scrub on the far right was way at the bottom of the bin. I was digging for quite a while. Smells like a vanilla cupcake to me. I didn't purchase the body cream with this haul. I had a coupon for the BOGO free body cream that I got with the Frosted Wonderland (pictured above). I pray that smell as heavenly on my body like they do in the bottles. Definitely looking into buying more.
I've had the Pumpkin Cupcake candle and it was just so divine. Buttercream frosting and gentle pumpkin. Not strong at all. The Iced Ginger Bread smells like a legit ginger bread cookie. I also picked up Moroccan Fig & Honey in the deep cleansing formula which is in my bathroom. One of the best scents in life! Luxurious honey with a nice deep wood in there. I can't explain it, you gotta try it for yourself.
I had to get a pairing body wash to the Kiss body cream that I got (first pic). The Vanilla Tini just struck my eye because I'm a sucker for a good vanilla. It's an airy vanilla. Not bakery scented more like a pure essence. Cannot wait to switch my Winter Candle Apple body wash (purchased in this haul but not pictured, in the shower) for one of these babies. I don't like WCA in the body cream, body lotion, or body spray. It's overbearing sweetness is enough for the shower and vanishes. I think it's weird that I prefer it that way but I just do. I'm not touching my VBN stuff until I get my hands on some more.
There you have it. All the stuff I got from SAS...so far. I will update the post if I decide to purchase anything else. Until next time...
