bath and body works recs?

member · Hermes

I love the Coconut Lime. Another good one is Sweet Pea.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

perfect timing, lynnie! there's a sale going on right now. as for other scents i like pure ginger from what i think is called the pure simplicity line. oh and jasmine vanilla (a bit strong, but it's totally grown on me) and lavendar, both from the aromatherapy line (for hand soap, i haven't tried the body washes in those scents yet). have fun!

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I bought a lavendar mimosa bath foam there the other day on sale for $4. It smells AMAZING and is from their Aromatherapy: relax collection. I def. reccomend this.

trixie · Kenneth Cole

I second the love for coconut lime verbena. I also love the mango mandarin scent - one of my favorite summer body washes.

Rica · Kenneth Cole

Ohh the Coconut Lime Verbena is divine! I also really like Sweet Pea, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Pearberry. Sun Rippened Raspberry is an old school fave that still smells delish today. The True Blue Spa line is great, too. I love Shea It Isn't So and Look Ma, New Hands lotions. There's also the Tutti Dolci collection which, oh lord, is yummy to say the least. Definitely pick up one of the lip glosses! Oh, and C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine is a must have.

Awesome timing for sure, the big sale is great! Have fun and let us know what you get!

jacL · Coach

Juniper Breeze is my favorite. I love that stuff.

Lilykind · Hermes

The salt scrubs are really nice. My best friend lives by them and my brother has even confessed to using them religiously. I like Sun Ripened Raspberry, Coconut Lime Verbena, and Green Tea (do they still make this?). Sweet Pea is also nice for those super-girly days I have occasionally.

I'm really into the True Blue spa line as well. I just bought some more Look Ma, News Hands lotion and the C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine at the sale a couple weeks ago. It's going on until the middle of July so you should be able to find tons of stuff on sale.

Also, if you're lucky, your B&BW will have other brands like DDF, Henri Bendel's line, Vincent Longo, NARS, etc etc...

I'm pretty sure they're having a big sale right now.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

Ooh, I got this a week ago from their huge sale, and I love it! It smells great and I feel it does what it's supposed to, relax. It's scent is Eucalyptus Spearmint and it's a bubble bath..

I also got this, but I haven't tried it yet. I know it smells good though!

ejc423 · Coach

I too love the coconut lime verbena. Picked some up at the sale along with water lily ivy or something like that hand soap. I love that too. I also got some cherry blossom lotion that I wasn't sure about, but I like it when I wear it, and a friend (who has excellent taste) said, "I have to know what you're wearing". So there ya go. Cheap an yummy. I am glad I gave in to the sale. . .

Oh, a friend just gave me some of the eucalyptus spearmint stuff and it is great too! Let us know what you got!

At their sale, amoung lots of other things, I got this for $3 when it retails for $24 at sephora! GREAT DEALS!

Cortney1982 · Chanel

I'm amazed at how many people like the coconut lime stuff. I think it should have more coconut in it. It smells like cleaner to me. I went there today and got travel size Botanical Nutrients wheat bran patchouli shampoo and conditioner for my upcoming trip. Hopefully I will like it, since it smells a little weird.

Are you serious? When does this sale end?! I'd love to get something that I can put on my cheeks cause I don't like how powder looks on me and seeing that for 3 bucks... ka-ching! I'm using Almay touchpad right now-- like it and everything but having more than 1 is nice.

I don't know if my local BBW has any but I'm definitely heading down to southern California this weekend to check it out.

Karina · Chanel

I have this.. I really love it:

Eau de Provence Skin Softening Body Balm

Jen did they have a lot of these?? I already went and only got small sized samples of (2) coconut lime, (2) moonlit path, because I didn't know if I wanted to spend $25 and get more stuff then I would ever possibly need. Maybe I should go back there today with one of my best friends and split the deal, because I could easily pick up 2 or 3 things. Can you do returns, lol?

jen · Kate Spade

I know some B and B's carry lorac, but not all. They had a bin full of lorac foundation, powder, concelar and that stuff. I had to drive to the next town to get it though, my b and b only carrys there own stuff.

kenzie · Chanel

I like the coconut lime, too. I also like Sweet Pea, Moonlight Jasmine, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Mango Mandarin. I actually like to mix the Sweet Pea and Mango--it's tangy and sweet at the same time!

i like their stuff from the CO Bigelow line, especially the lemon body cream and the dr. hissous hand cream. the lavender pillow spray smells so nice too, very soothing.

i work for one of the BBW sister companies (well, today is actually my last day here) and the whole corporation is working towards becoming more like sephora and carrying all kinds of brands (Bath and Body Works, Bendel's, Victoria's Secret Beauty), so you'll probably see more and more stores carrying brands like Lorac and NARS. i want to get some of that cheek stain! what a great deal.
