Bath and Body Works Haul

I received a coupon an online coupon for a FREE 3 wick candle with any purchase of $20 or more.  I believe this promotion has ended already but if you guys would like to try to see if it still works the Online code is TREATYOU20 and the code in store is 9290.

When stepping into the store my intention was just to purchase my favorite antibacterial soaps and to pick up my free candle.  The soaps were 6 for $20.  But of course the sale associates always persuade me into buying more.  Good thing this time it was just an extra bottle of lotions and nothing more.

So here's the lovely bag my items came home in. 

All the six soaps I picked were foam soaps.  Reason for this if you guys don't already know is the foam type soap is easier for my kids to use.

I got Ocean Pearl, Dahlia, Island Bamboo, Coconut Cove, Beach Flower, and Mango Paradise.  All have very pretty labels.  All smells great and perfect for spring and summer. 

This is the item the lure me into buying.  This is their true blue spa item.  I believe these Spa items are limited editions items.  They are trying to get rid of them so they were all currently on clearance.  They are all 50% off.  I just love the scent.  And also the jojoba oil is much lighter to use in hot weather compared to the shea butter products I had at home. So I thought I would give this a try. 

This is the Free candle I picked up.  Aloha Waikiki - Hulas & Hibiscus scent.  

Candle description:  An exquisite fusion of Plumeria petals, Tiare Blossoms and a hint of sugarcane that transport you to the big island.  Aloha Paradise!

I love how this candle have a decorated cover too.

And as you can see from these pictures below that I'll be making another trip down to that store soon.  Hehe, I can't wait.  What are you all planning to buy?  What items should I try?  Let me know!!

Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale

Made a trip to the mall this afternoon for this semi-annual sale.  My main purpose is to pick up more of these antibacterial hand soaps.  They were on sale for $3 each.  With my last purchase I've done an online survey and was able to get $10 off when I spend $30 or more.  So I ended up paying $20 for 10 bottles.  What  deal huh?

I got mostly foam soaps.  Reason why...because I have young kids and the foam soaps are the easiest ones for them to use.

The scents I got are:
1) Tropical Passionfruit.  I liked the scent so I got two versions of it.
2) Fresh Picked Strawberries.
3) Vanilla Berry Sorbet.  Again, two different versions.
4) Fresh Picked Tangerines.
5) I Love Watermelon - With Cherry
6) Sugar Lemon Fizz
7) Candy Cane Bliss
8) Jingle Bellini Shower Gel (I got this because it was in such a pretty bottle and smelled great)

Anyone else went shopping and taken advantage of this sale?  Let me know what you guys gotten.

Bath and Body Works Christmas Gifts Haul

It was hard shopping for my niece. She's 9 years old and has everything. When we asked what she wanted she couldn't even answer us. Kids now a days are so lucky and has everything.

Well I ended buying her a bunch of crafts items since she's so artistic. She loves to find things and transform them into other things. Like a brown box into a doll house.

I still thought I needed to get her more. So I brought her a little extra from Bath and Body works. Please note this was purchased before Christmas, before the semi-annual sale.

Well hope she likes the items I got her. I got her a bunch of Pocketbac which I know she uses and a antibacterial foaming moose which I thought was cute and fun to use. The whole purchase was $11.16. The Pocketbacs were buy 5 for $5. The foam moose was $5. The holder was $.50.

I forgot to mention. I had a coupon for a free item for a purchase of $10 or more. So I got a bottle of body lotion (coconut breeze). I was happy. A $12.50 free. A little present for myself.

I know Christmas has past but we are giving her the gifts later tonight. Hope she like them.

Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale

It starts today. Their semi-annual sale. There's tons of items on sale (up to 75% on selected items while supplies last). I just got back from shopping there. Got tons of
Antibacterial hand soaps. As you guys all know that's what I like from Bath and Body Works and that's what I usually buy. I will post my haul in a bit. I just wanted to get this information out so anyone who is interested in this sale can go and buy stuff before the good stuff runs out. Happy Shopping!!!

Bath and Body Antibacterial Pocketbacs

Have anyone wonder how long you can keep these Bath and Body Pocketbacs? Do they have expiration dates?

I was cleaning out my bathroom and I found 10 bottles lying around. I was wondering whether to throw them out or not. I feel like it’s such a waste if I did...probably paid around $1 each. I know Purells do have expiration listed on their bottles and was surprised that there's nothing listed on the Bath and Body ones.

 

There wasn't much information online so I decided to write Bath and Body Works directly. See my email below:

Wrote: The antibacterial pocketbac...do they expire? Because I know Purell products does. Please let me know because it turns out I have a lot stored away and I want to make sure they are still good to use.


I got a response three hours later. Not bad...they wrote me this email below:


Dear San,

The best way to figure out how long your product will last is to determine when your product was born. Figuring out the date that our products are born can be a bit tricky.

The born on date is located on the bottom of the bottle, on the label or top of the tube depending on the product. This set of numbers will look like the following: 1041T2A1.

You will only need the first 4 numbers to determine the born on date. Using a born on date of 1041T2A1, you can see the year this product was born, 2011, because the first number in the series is a number 1.

The following 3 numbers will tell you the day of the year this product was produced, in this case the 41st day of 2011, which is February 16th. Your product will be good unopened for 2 years after the date it was born.

If you have any other questions please reply to this email or give us a call at 1-800-756-5005.

Sincerely,

It's funny how they use such a date system. This shows that they do not want customers to know when they expire. So they can probably try to sell their old products too. Please make sure next time you buy more Pocketbacs to check how much shelf life left in the items before buying. Because if they are old and expired it’s not going to kill any of the germs out there that's going to get you sick. Especially with flu season is coming you need to be careful.
