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!!

FREE Bath and Body Works Take Home Samples

First time ever that I've seen Bath and Body Works giving out take home samples to try.  I was so excited!  Who doesn't like free stuff right?  They had a couple of small buckets placed in front of their store.  A lot of people were taking advantage of them and taking handfuls and handfuls...and putting them in their bags.  If they had handed them out at the cashier's desk, then maybe can than monitor the process and stop people from abusing it.  Because sooner or later they might stop giving things out.

I took three samples and my husband took another three for me.  That's not being too greedy right?  hehe...The samples are all from their Fresh Picked line.  They are all fruity smells.  I actually really like all their scents from this line.  Unfortunately, on these small containers they did not list the names of the scent or what kind of items they are.  The thicker substance I I'm sure is lotions.  But the gel type I'm not sure if they are body washes or hand soaps.  I guess I'll just have to test them out and figure it out that way.

The containers are very small but cute.  They don't leak, so once you're finished with the product you can always wash and reuse them.  You can fill them with your moisturizers or face cleaners.  Maybe even use them as small pill boxes.

Once there's another big sale for sure I"ll go back and buy some hand soaps from this line.  Again, I love all their fruity scents and I love their new packaging.  They are a very classic look to them.  Anyone tried this new line yet?  And favorites I should try?  Please let me know!!

Lush - Honey I Washed The Kids Soap Review

A while back when I made an UK Lush purchase online they had sent me a couple of samples to try.  One of them was the Honey I Washed the Kids Soap.  I've actually tired this soap in the past and loved it.  So I was excited to be able to use this soap again.  The soap was only a small piece but that doesn't matter.  It's always nice to get something for free.

This sample has been sitting in my bathroom for a while and after I opened the wrap I've noticed the soap had dried up a bit.  But after my first use the soap got looks like it's back normal again.  So don't be afraid when you lush soaps looked a bit dried up.  Sorry, I didn't take a after picture of the soap.

Lush Description: 
Honey I Washed the Kids is one of our best-selling soaps because it’s simply irresistible. People who fully intended to walk past a LUSH shop find themselves unable to resist its sweet caramel fragrance. You’ll inhale, drool, pick up a big chunk and immediately want to wash yourself all over with it. It’s so gentle, buttery and scrumptious you’ll have a hard time keeping it to yourself. The honey water and aloe are so softening and moisturizing, you can use our toffee-scented sensation on the whole family.

I love the smell of this soap.  It's has a sweet honey caramel scent to it.  It lathers up pretty well and I find it very moisturizing and it leaves a very clean feeling after using it.  And you guys all probably know this already...these specialty soaps they don't last long.  So to keep it from shrinking that fast, after use you should put it in a soap dish where it can dry up quickly and not soak in water to melt.  

Online (US site) it's $7.95 per 3.5oz.  I'm not sure why but I believe the prices at the stores cost a lot more.  I was at the store just two days ago and I think I remember it being close to $9.  I dunno...maybe I'm seeing things.  You guys correct me if I'm wrong.

So how you guys all like this soaps?  And how you guys like Lush?  Let me know!!
