L'Occitane Lavender Scented Candle (Bongie Parcumee Lavande)

I received a box of L'Occitane products from a baby shower gift around two years ago and I just now taking them out of their packages and using them. 

I'll post these items separately. 

The first item I had taken out and used is the Lavender Scented Candle.  

It comes in a pretty candle holder. Pretty heavy in weight. And the smell of lavender is so good. It's very light and not over powering. (I don't know if its because I have a little bit if my window for fresh air)

The description on box: A LAVENDER candle fills the air with smoothing, relaxing aroma of blue harvest, like a summer evening in Provence. 

This candle is estimated to burn around 20 hours. 

Made in France. It's a 100g Net wt. 3.5 oz candle. 

Again since this was an old gift I'm not sure how much or if they even sell this product anymore. This is my first L'Occitane product. So far I like it. Anyone out there used anything from this line and liked it?  And pros and cons?  Please let me know!!

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!!

Another Bath and Body Works Haul

My Bath and Body Works package had finally arrived. It took around a week. So that wasn't that bad. 



One opened I see the blue plaid design inside. I just love it! It makes this package look extra special. There was lots of brown paper to product the products. The invoice was inside and they also included two coupons.



There was a 20% off any online purchase, which expires 11/28/12, and a Free Body care item with any purchase of $10 or more, which expires on 10/28/12. Since I've made such a big purchase already I don't think I'll be using these coupons.



 

Once the brown paper is removed, this is what I see.

So the reason why I made this large purchase it's because of a promotion they were having. They were giving away a free 4oz Pumpkin Craving candle that comes in a small bag. Shipping was only $1 on orders over $25. I've missed out on the candle deal last time so I really wanted to make sure I get it this time. I don't know why...but I really wanted to get my FREE candle. LOL! This was a 4oz candle that cost $9.50. Candle description says, "A blend of fresh pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla tells the tale of bring home the perfect pumpkin." This size can burn around 20-30 hours. It smells great! It also comes with this free cream bag. It cost $2. Now how would pay $2 for that? I couldn't even pay for it if it's a quarter. Doesn't matter I guess. It's free.

I ended up getting all Antibacterial hand soaps. I love their soaps.

 

Usually, they have sales 6 for $20. So that's around $3.33 each. All the soups I purchased were on sale for $2.27 each. What a deal huh? And I also love their summer scents. I'm glad I still have a chance to grab I few before they are all gone.

I got...

Mango Berry Sparkler the Deep Cleaning Hand Soap. This has small exfoliating beads in it.



 

Same scent but in a foam form.

 

I Love Watermelon! Cherry foam soap.

Tropical Sorbet Float foam soap.

 

I Love Watermelon! Basil foam soap.

Mango Berry Sparkler PocketBac. I know I said I have TONS of old ones lying around but since I had to purchase over $25 before I can get the $1 shipping I was forced to buy this one extra item. I don't mind though...because I do love this scent. Mangos are my favorite fruit too.

 

 

Lemon Sunshine Slush the deep cleansing soap.

Cool Summer Spash foam soap.

 



 Papaya Melon Scoop foam soap.

Tropical Sorbet deep cleansing soap.

 

The two different kinds of soaps I like the foam soaps the best.  So anyone out there made large Bath and Body Works purchases?  What scents or forms of soaps you guys like best?  Let me know!
