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 Day After Christmas Haul

I'm not sure why its taking me so long to post up my Christmas haul from Lush. Well here it is. I did not purchase any Christmas box sets because items in them either looked old and dried up or the items in it I wasn't too interested in. I got soaps, bath bombs, and bubble wands.

Not sure why they didn't give out regular Lush bags at this store

My purchase came to $57.79. It's still kind of pricey but I did save almost 50%. It's nice to sometimes treat yourself to something nice right? I just hope I have time to use them. Hehe...

So soaps I got:

Angles Delight

Mr. Punch

Snow Globe

Sexy Peel

Bath bombs I got:

So White Ballistic (2)

Cinder Ballistic - I was told they going to discontinue this...

Golden Wonder

Bubble wands I got:

Magic Wands

If I finally get the time I'll write a short review on how these items each turn out. :) Anyone else take advantage of the big BOGO after Christmas sale? Tell me about it.

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!!

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.
