Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Haul

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

 Here's everything I picked up during the sale.

Sweet Carrot Cake Cleansing Gel Hand Soap

This was a free reward. I purchased the foaming soap in this scent months ago and I really liked it, so when I saw this was still available I knew I wanted to get it. Unfortunately, this leaked during shipping so I lost a little bit of it. I'd say like 10% of product leaked out. Thankfully an associate online helped me get a replacement. It's a different scent since this one is now out of stock, but that's okay. 

Bali Mango Ultimate Hydration Body Cream

I'm slowly buying products throughout the year to give away at Christmas, and this will be going into that pile. It was only $3 and some change, so definitely a steal of a deal. 


B&BW x Disney Princess Cinderella Fine Fragrance Mist

This is also going into the gift pile. This was also $3 something, which is amazing!  

Mahogany Teakwood Body Spray

I bought this years ago for my husband and he really liked it. It was on sale for only $4, so of course I got it for him. 


Aromatherapy Shower Steamers in Lavender + Vanilla

I've been wanting to try out some shower steamers, and this was under $4. I'm super excited to find out if these help me feel relaxed. 


Aromatherapy Body Butter in Lavender + Vanilla

I had a promo offer for a free item for my birthday last month, and I used it on this. 


Lavender Lemonade Cleansing Gel Hand Soap

This is the free replacement I received for my Sweet Carrot Cake Soap. 

That's everything I ordered this time. What did you pick up during the sale?

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

Spring Empties & Review - 2025

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend? Can you believe it's summer already??

I've started a bunch of new products recently but haven't been able to use up a lot of them. I'm going to make it my mission to use up wayyy more products over the summer than I did over the last few months. Anyway, here's everything I used up recently!

 First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Niacinamide Brightening Cream

This was fine. It's a very small sample though so I can't speak to how well this works.


Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Bright-Eye Gel Cream
 
This was nice. My eye area felt soft and hydrated after using this. 
 
 
Charlotte Tilbury Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum
 
This formula is very thin and sank into my skin quickly. It was hydrating and my skin was glowy while I was using this. Not a fan of the price though. 
 

Aavrani Scalp Detox Jelly Cleanser
 
My hair felt so clean and free of residue with this cleanser! I did not like that it had those little plastic beads in it though. 
 
 
Soap & Glory Clean on Me Body Wash
 
I love this scent. My body feels clean and hydrated when I use it. I would (and have) totally repurchase this. 
 
 
Bath & Body Works Wicked Vanilla Woods Hydrating Body Cream
 
This scent was way too strong. I wanted to use this up as quickly as possible just to get rid of it. 
 

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter
 
This feels so thick and hydrating! My skin felt soft and smooth after applying this. The smell is nice too. A bit strong, but not horrible. 
 

Bumble & Bumble BB Hairdresser Invisible Oil
 
I like this spray. The scent is good and it doesn't leave any residue in my hair once it's dried. 
 

Clinique Take the Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm
 
I really, really like this makeup remover. It just melts the makeup off and I can just wipe it all away. I don't think the charcoal aspect of this is necessary, but I don't even think Clinique sells this version anymore anyway. 
 
 
That's everything I was able to go through this time! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing week!
