Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Summer 2021 Dates, Returning Items, More

I know, I know it’s too early to chat the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Summer 2021 but hey, let’s talk about it anyway! The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Summer 2021 starts is a little over a month away and starts on June 14 in stores and online.

Bath & Body Works following that Semi-Annual crappy new daily deals weekly thing that I hate so much. I’m a person that’s like, “listen if you got sh1t on sale just dump it in the yellow bins and we’ll all go digging through them and fight over the last limited edition dollar hand soap from Halloween 2020!” I dislike having to check in for new “weekly” deals. It’s irritating. I don’t want to drive to the mall every single week in June to see what the new deals are. Fact of the matter is you’re sort of forced to do that because if you’re anything like me you’re not shopping it on the website and paying shipping! So, here you are waiting in traffic, looking for a parking space, and getting into the store only to find out the deals suck.

Rant over.

Bath & Body Works why is the Semi-Annual Sale so complicated now and why do the deals suck so hard? I remember a time when you’d hit pay dirt in those bins. Yup, I’m bringing it up again but remember all that Tutti Dolci! My head explodes every time I think of it! There used to be so many great things on clearance now the regurgitate a bunch of stuff no one wants.

Sigh. Ok, I’m sorry. Do I sound pissy? I sound pissy right? Ahem…getting back to my normal sweet self….

The sale starts June 14th and lasts all month long and of course, there’s returning favorites to look forward too. The favorites returning are Cucumber Melon, Dark Kiss, Pink Chiffon, Love & Sunshine, and Cherry Blossom.

Sorry, can I restore back to b1tch mode for one moment?

Who asked for Cucumber Melon?

Anyway…..!

Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Summer 2021 starts soon. Keep those fingers, legs, arms, and toes crossed it’ll be better than the last few years.

Thanks so much to the ever lovely and sweet TinyBubblesFloating for sharing this info!

Rohto 50 Megumi Oil-In All In One Hydrating Lotion Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.
5 stars out of 5

Rohto 50 Megumi Oil-In All In One Hydrating Lotion is one of those powerhouse products you never heard of but wish you did and now you do! Rohto 50 Megumi Oil-In All In One Hydrating Lotion is an emulsion creates with over 50 different moisturizing ingredients. It’s my little secret weapon for when my skin is feeling extra dry and tight! Since Spring is an on and off again affair here in New York my skin is still doing something weird where one day it acts normal and the next day it’s dry. Combine that with the fact I’ve started using a heavier dose of a new retinol and I could pass for an alligator. It takes a lot for my skin to look as smooth as it does in the pictures you see of me and one of the things that helps is Rohto 50 Megumi Oil-In All In One Hydrating Lotion.

You may recognize the brand name Rohto from your (and my) beloved Hada Labo Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Acid. That alone should make you curious about 50 Megumi Oil-In All In One Hydrating Lotion!

Let’s take a look!

Could I Wear That Tweed White Chanel Tunic If I Weren’t 5 Feet Tall? Probably Not!

I started my day with a green t-shirt, some leggings, and a jean jacket but I had a meeting today and I put on black cuffed pants, a lace bralette, a black suit jacket, and black converse and mistakenly looked at Chriselle Lim’s Instagram account before heading to my meeting. Head desk. Why did I do that? She’s on there wearing that stunning Chanel Tweed White Tunic that launched with the Spring/Summer 2021 Collection (not the Cruise Collection which was gag!). She also, has an Tiktok of herself wearing it and she looks a m a z i n g! That tunic was made for her body. Now I feel like a frump! Let me go hide in a corner! Ha 😀

Ugh…! I do wish I was tall and super slim. That tunic is made for a body type that’s tall! I’m still over here struggling with the leggings situation, people! there’s no way I’m wearing a tunic that long without it dragging all over the floor!

No one remembers us little humans in the fashion world! I’m browsing maxi dresses right now for Summer and every single one I’ve seen so far is way too long for me. Anyone have access to the same mushrooms Alice did to make her taller?

But seriously, this is your daily reminder to just embrace the yourself. Tall, short, skinny, fluffy, love yourself no matter what.

I may need a step stool to get to the high shelves in the kitchen and the pantry but screw it!

It’s true that you have to be yourself because everyone else is taken….!

One exception…

If you’re offered the chance to be Batman.

Always be Batman.

Or, I mean, if some crossroads demon offers you a chance to be Chriselle Lim in a white Chanel Tunic totally take advantage and do it!

I’m kidding. Just be you and love every version of yourself!

Have a good day all you beautiful people.

I’ll be back later as I gotta write an e-mail to Chanel about the challenges short humans face on the daily. ;-D

This Is the Disgusting Habit That Became Worst For Me During the Pandemic

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Beauty confession! I’m a nail biter and a picker….! The most disgusting habit in the world I have is I bite my nails. It’s gross! But even worst than nail biting is nail picking. I get the worst hangnails and I have absolutely no issues just ripping them off. My masochist side totally had no issues with just ripping a hangnail until I’m bleeding. It’s a nasty habit.

I know last year when COVID hit it totally cured me of nail biting. I mean instantly, I became so much more aware of touching my face, biting my nails, etc…! A year later and I’m beyond disciplined about touching my face, rubbing my eyes, and most importantly biting my nails. I simply don’t do it anymore.

Hangnails are a different story.

That’s a habit that got a lot worst with the pandemic.

The Most Important Thing We’ll Be Discussing Today is the Difference Between Urban Decay Riff and New Riff Eyeshadow

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

I wanted to compare Urban Decay Riff and New Riff Eyeshadow and swatch the shades side by side for you today as I got quite a few e-mails asking me about the new shade versus the old one. Many of you know I really love Riff. Whenever Urban Decay Eyeshadow Singles went on sale for $10 bucks I was chronically collecting pots of Riff. At the time I felt like I was being ridiculous but now that the shade is discontinued I’m ever so glad I decided to hoard a few backups. It’s one of my favorite brown shades and really does something beautiful for my eyes.

Urban Decay recently relaunched their Eyeshadow Collection in new, clear compacts but also, they launched a wide variety of new shades and have done away with many fan favorites in the process. You can still get a few of them on sale at urbandecay.com (including Riff) but both Sephora and Ulta have officially sold out.

One of the shades I was most curious in the new line was Urban Decay New Riff Eyeshadow.

Jump ahead for a comparison and swatches of Riff and New Riff and see which you love more.
