It’s that time again! It’s time for the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale for 2019/2020 starts December 26th in stores and online with savings on all your favorite goodies. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this sale will be great but let’s be honest for a sec here, the Bath & Body Work Semi-Annual Sale has sort of sucked the last several years. I think part of the reason for that is because Bath & Body Works does a “time release” with the sale. Basically throughout the entire month they have new mark downs and new deals every few days or every week. I dunno about you but I don’t have time to run over to Bath & Body Works every single time they release a new sale item. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

There are returning favorites which I always feel like no one, anywhere asked for. Like are there a lot of people out there yelling “WE WANT CUCUMBER MELON TO RETURN!” Some of the favorites that make a come back just aren’t one I’d personally pick out not to mention they are almost the same every single year. Why not do something new?

Here’s the returning scents:

• Black Amethyst
• Mad About You
• Cashmere Glow
• Pink Chiffon
• Cucumber Melon
• Black Raspberry Vanilla
• Night Blooming Jasmine

I have some hope that they have leftover Pink Velvet Cupcake and it pops up in a bin somewhere because I missed out on it this fall and grabbed it during Body Care Day and love it. Of course, it is now gone and sold out. Maybe stores will have some leftovers on sale!

I hope this year’s Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale surprises me!

What do you hope to score during the sale?

Almay Color & Care Lip Oil-in-Stick ($7.99) are a new Spring 2020 hydrating tinted lip oil that hydrates lips and gives them a sheer wash of color with a shiny finish. If you had a sense of déjà vu when you saw these that might be because you’re thinking of the Revlon Kiss Balm that launched back in 2016 or even Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon. They kind of look the same don’t they? I wasn’t a huge fan of the Kiss Balm formula but I’m all about trying something new so I purchased two shades of Almay Color & Care Lip Oil-in-Stick for $7.99 each at Harmon’s. I’d like to say that I find the price absolutely obscene. Revlon’s Kiss Balm are 0.09 oz and $5 each where as Color & Care Lip Oil-in-Stick are the same size yet nearly $8 each. Granted, places like Walmart will likely have a cheaper price on these but imagine when they hit CVS or Walgreens where drugstore makeup notoriously higher in price? That being said, I wouldn’t mind paying the price if these were say as good as Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Quench Lip Rescue Balm which is a whooping $19 at 0.10 oz. I mean, Tarte’s formula is outstanding and well worth that $19 bucks. So, if Almay gave me something along those lines I likely wouldn’t rant at the price. However, Almay Color & Care Lip Oil-in-Stick are just a meh for me. As far as I’m concerned nothing could be better than Almay’s Smart Shade Butter Kiss Lipstick!

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2020 arrives on December 26th, Boxing Day, in a variety of different options. Inspired by the Japanese New Year tradition of fukubukuro where stores create grab bags filled with random items to draw customers into stores to make a purchase.

Beautylish Lucky Bags are typically very cool as they contain full-size makeup and skincare picks!

They’ll be several bags to choose from with two different prices ranges of $75 or $150.

Here’s what’s on offer:

• Lucky Bag (Fair to Medium) $75 for $150+ Full-Size Products
• Lucky Bag (Dark to Deep) $75 for $150+ Full-Size Products
• Jeffree Star Cosmetics Lucky Bag $75 for $150 Full-Size Jeffree Star Products
• XL Lucky Bag $150 for $300+ Full-Size Products

They’ll also be the fantastic get one, give one deal which allows you to purchase your own bag and get another one which Beautylish will than donate to Alternative Family Services. I strongly advise getting this one as your second bag will benefit teenagers. I can’t think of a nicer way to give back.

The Get One, Give One Lucky Bags are available in the following for $150 for 2 Lucky Bags (one keep and the other is donated).

Early Access is available if you sign up at beautylish.com which I suggest doing as the bags sell out in a flash!

Enjoy!
