Good afternoon everyone! And happy Wednesday! Only two more days until the weekend- thank goodness!
Today, a brand new soap appeared online- Blue Ocean Waves in the gentle foaming formula. It has a matte blueberry-colored bottle and pump with a gold rim. The soap is described as “a perky blend of creamy sandalwood, salty ocean breeze & lemon zest.” It’s seemingly part of the rainbow White Barn collection that launched fairly recently, with four other soaps so far- Fresh Mint & Apple, Island Papaya, Pomegranate Lemonade, and Cotton & Freesia.

This soap is $7.50 and you can purchase it here. Don’t forget to take advantage of the mix-and-match soap deal (4 soaps for $20 or 6 for $26) going on right now! (While you’re at it, why not try this entire collection?)

Hello everyone! I hope you’re doing well (and have some well-deserved coffee) on this Monday morning!*
*Yes, I know it’s Tuesday night. But I wrote this- and intended to post it- yesterday morning. My apologies!
Today I’m here to share my favorite BBW products from this week. I’ll be posting these “BBW Favorites” every Monday from now on. These are the products I’ve been using throughout the week and I would love to share them with you!
1. Hello Beautiful Moisturizing Body Wash

I absolutely love this body wash. Hello Beautiful is one of my favorite scents, and when I was running low on my Rose body wash I got this one to replace it. I first bought it this past summer at SAS and it has not disappointed! If you like floral scents and are in need of a body wash, I would definitely recommend this one! Unfortunately, it’s no longer available directly from Bath & Body Works, so if you’re looking to buy direct I would recommend Perfect Peony, Magic in the Air, Aromatherapy Love: Rose & Vanilla, or Rose instead. I love to use this body wash especially in the spring and summer since it is such a nice, light floral scent. I often pair it with my Hello Beautiful shower gel for double the amazing smell!
2. Perfect Peony Shower Gel

I first tried Perfect Peony last week when my limited edition spring tote arrived. I was pleasantly surprised by BBW’s brand-new signature fragrance- it’s absolutely amazing! If you like other floral scents such as Rose and Beautiful Day and enjoy using shower gels, you should definitely get this amazing one! I would definitely recommend this one, especially for spring and summer since it is so light and floral. I’m not a huge fan of body lotions, so I gifted mine from the tote to my mom this Mother’s Day. She absolutely loves it, and I’m sure you will too!
3. Cactus Blossom Body Cream

I bought this one at BBW’s first “Body Care Day” last December and I am absolutely in LOVE. Cactus Blossom is an amazing scent and the packaging is beautiful. The body cream is great; my skin feels much softer after I use it! I would definitely repurchase; if you are a fan of floral-and-musk scents like this (similar to Hello Beautiful) I would absolutely recommend it! (Also, I would recommend Cactus Blossom’s sister scent, Desert Wildflower, as well!)
4. Fresh Cut Lilacs Fine Fragrance Mist

Fresh Cut Lilacs is one of my favorite scents from the recently-introduced floral Bold Blooms collection. Described as “a just-picked blend of lilac bouquets, dewy greens & soft spring air”, it smells to me like lilacs (obviously!) and several other fragrant flowers (possibly magnolia, gardenia or rose- I’m not sure), as well as a small hint of grass and a sweet vanilla. If you like floral scents, you should definitely try this one now that it’s available in body care! If you’re tempted just like I was when I first saw this one, you can it buy it here (unless you already have it- but why not stock up!) I would also recommend Whipped Vanilla Chiffon from the same collection, which is a vanilla bean-based scent with a hint of peach and sugar, and mostly steers away from the florals of the other scents in this collection.
5. Rose Water & Ivy Hand Soap

I’m using the sold-out Bold Blooms one right now, but I couldn’t find a picture of it so I used an old stock image from Google. Anyway, I love anything in this scent! It smells like a beautiful blend of garden blooms. (Notice a trend on this list: light, floral scents, which are my favorite, especially for spring.) I would definitely recommend this scent if you like your hands to smell like a lovely fragrant garden!
6. Strawberry Pound Cake 3-Wick Candle
Strawberry Pound Cake. The candle sensation that first debuted last spring, exploded onto the candle scene at winter SAS, and has had 5 repackaged versions (plus a single wick candle, Pocketbac, hand cream, and body care collection) to date during its year-long tenure. I LOVE this candle. It smells like pound cake, strawberries, and whipped cream with a slight hint of sugar and vanilla. Plus, no matter what version you have, the packaging is beautiful! If you enjoy other bakery/gourmand and fruit-scented candles, this is the perfect addition to your collection- unless you already have enough to last you the next two years, of course! (Stock up while you can, girl!) You can buy the most recent version (Bold Blooms, from April 2020) here.
7. Strawberry Pound Cake Pocketbac

Why not get a hand sanitizer to match your new candle? Besides, it’s a great deal- you get to stay clean and sanitized all while smelling great! I would definitely recommend this Pocketbac- I’ve been using it every day this entire week. It smells just like the candle, so what’s not to love! Unfortunately though, it’s not available online (and stores are obviously closed), so unless you buy one from a third-party seller, you won’t be able to get one just yet. If you do happen to be one of the lucky people who got it before BBW stores closed, or received it in the limited-edition spring 2020 tote (like I did), good for you! You already have the chance to try this amazing scent. And I hope you enjoy it!
8. Vanilla Buttercream Hand Cream

This was the very first hand cream I ever got at BBW, back when I first visited in early May of 2019. I absolutely love it- it’a a very light and sweet yet neutral scent, perfect for someone who gets extremely overwhelmed by other overpowering scents. I use this one the most out of my 15 hand creams and have bought backups to make sure I have enough. (Plus, that sprinkle packaging on the most recent version is beautiful!)

Hello everyone, happy Tuesday! I hope you’re all faring well as the majority of us are approaching two months of quarantine! (Yikes!)
Today a single new product appeared online: a hand soap seemingly part of the ginormous “Foamy Friends” collection. The soap is a green color with a cat illustration on the packaging. The soap is called “Right Meow” in the scent Apple Hibiscus.
According to the fragrance description, Right Meow is “a juicy, floral blend of apple nectar, hibiscus & sweet orange”.

This soap was first released in February of this year, with some of the other “Foamy Friends” soaps. However, this is the first time we have seen it online in quite a while.
If you’re looking to buy soaps in bulk, this one is part of the current “Mix and Match: 6 for $26 or 4 for $20” soap deal. If you’re looking to try this one as well as a few of the other new ones (such as Pomegranate Lemonade and Fresh Mint & Apple, which sound amazing to me) and some of the other Foamy Friends soaps, this would be a perfect time!
(On that note, I also forgot to mention that Boardwalk Taffy, Beachfront Blanket, and the rest of the new beach collection- plus Coast for Men, Perfect Peony, Gingham, the Bold Blooms and 2020 Tropics collections, and so many other scents- are part of the Buy 3, Get 2 Free body care sale going on right now. So hurry, hurry, hurry!)
Have a great day, and good luck with your hand soap haul! (Plus, run don’t walk to the PocketBac page because all three 5-packs are still currently available!)
