I Didn’t Get Any Hand Soups But I Did Get Some Body Mists and Lotions

Ladies and Lads! I’ve come to make my beauty confession today! Forgive me, beauty Gods for I have sinned it’s been two weeks, three days, and 16 hours since my last confession. I don’t know how to say this but after telling my friends here on Musings of a Muse that we should all go on a ban I went to the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale and came out of with a haul. My sense of guilt weights heavy on my soul today and I feel like I’m setting such a poor example for my friends. I feel some relief I didn’t technically haul any candles or hand soups (yeah, you caught my typo on Instagram didn’t ya you little buggers! These hands type a lot faster than my mind thinks).

What did I end up with?

Too much. I expected to get nothing to be honest as let’s be honest here the sale sucks. Or at least the one at my store did. They have two main floor displays at the very front of the stored lined up with the “retired” and “fan favorite fragrances as well as one that contains some of the new ones like Strawberry Soda and Cherry Limeaide. My store is split with White Barn on one side and Bath and Body Works on the other (most all the stores in my area are like this). I’m pretty late with the sale but there weren’t a lot of candles on sale that I wanted. I saw Cookies and Cereal and Salted Pretzel Milkshake but neither were on sale. There was also one huge area at the back that had a good deal of $3 hand soaps.

I ended up with:

  • Strawberry Soda
  • Cherry Limeaide
  • Champagne Sprinkles
  • Firecracker Pop
  • Triple Berry Martini
  • Candied Violet Sorbet

I got misted and body lotions for all of the above. Strawberry Soda is pretty darn realistic! I was quite pleased with that.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    I got a Strawberry Soda body mist because it smells really good. I also got a hand cream in cotton candy clouds (wanted more but they were very limited in that scent). I’m good now; ready for fall. The sale was terrible!

    • Isabella Muse

      The sale was very meh! But strawberry soda was pretty awesome!

  • Christy

    I have to admit that my resolve to avoid the sale left after the first candle haul I saw someone post. In my case, the question is what didn’t I get. Body creams, sprays, wash, candles, Wallflowers. I bought it all. Oops!

  • Lacy

    I got the firecracker pop mist and coconut cream pie lotion. Love both!

  • MelodyJ

    Hand Soups are hard to use they are too hot or if chilled too cold. So, it’s good you didn’t get any.

    I like aldehyde scents. Last year’s body mist is down to 1/4 full. I filled it up with hand sanitizer so I have a lightly scented mist I can use all day to stay cool.

  • Amy

    I haven’t gone yet, but I plan to. I actually do need hand soaps and Wallflowers. I will try to run past the lotions and sprays though. Some of the scents you and your commenters have mentioned sound very tempting!

    ah, the BBW SAS. i�ve lived through way too many of them LOL

    two weeks or so in, i�m still playing with a cart of stuff online. every few days i rearrange it, add a little, take out the items that are no longer available, and close it up again. but i just never hit the �buy� button.

    this will likely continue until the sale is over and i�ll forget about the cart. simply playing with it seems to satisfy me; i don�t feel like i need to actually buy anything.

    maybe i�m strange. maybe i�m just bath-and-body-worksed out.

    you know who,

      LOL jill! I know you have! I did the same but sadly, I even went to your store and I had a bag full but I left it but after that I went back to another store and CAVED! Shame on me 😀

      • jill

        LOL that�s hilarious! if i REALLY feel that i �shouldn�t�, i just stay out of the stores – because i�m a caver just like you! hell, i even order my hair stuff online at ulta for curbside pickup, because i know darn well if i cross that threshold, i�m going to be dragging a shopping bag behind when i leave!

        • Isabella Muse

          Oh girl it’s so much safer to do it online LOL! go in store and you end up with everything you don’t need!

  • Bernadette

    I did the same thing, I was absolutely not going to get anything and then I caved, I couldn�t help myself! I got Strawberry Shortcake, Pink Chiffon, Boardwalk Taffy, Beachfront Blanket, Waikiki Coconut, Frosted Coconut Colada, Pink Tie Die, Dar Kiss, and about 4 others. I was a bad bad girl! Like I already don�t have more then the Store. I just couldn�t help myself. The prices were good because of package changing and a lot of summer fragrances but I just know I need to take some of these back. Anyway don�t feel bad Isabella, because I was really Bad! Went to 3 stores and online, that is how good our sale was.

    • Isabella Muse

      We are SO WEAK! haha! All great picks Bernadette! 😀 Ha I feel so much better about my haul now ;-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Bernadette

        Isabella, you should feel good pretty woman because I definitely was a bad girl! It was so fun though wasn�t it?

        • Isabella Muse

          lol being a bad girl rocks sometimes ;-D It was delicious! I regret nothing haha!

    • MelodyJ

      You don’t have to take things back. Just save the extras for holiday or birthday gifts. The summer scents would be unexpected surprise for someone during the fall/winter seasons.
