We've finally made it to the last of my US beauty hauls. And this one might be my very favourite. It's my Bath & Body Works haul!
I've got a feeling that quite a few of you will agree with me in saying that Bath & Body Works is one of those stores that you eagerly look forward to visiting again when you're on holiday in the US or the likes of Canada, Australia or Dubai. So I was beyond excited to shop there again this year.
I was also so happy that I'd signed up for their emails. I definitely took advantage of some of the coupons that they sent me via email during my trip. This was most notably $10 off when you spent $30 and 20% off your entire purchase. And these two deals pretty much ran concurrently over the two weeks of my holiday.
So let's see what I bought from Bath & Body Works on this trip;
PocketBacs galore
The first place that I always head to in Bath & Body Works is the PocketBac section. With 5 Anti-Bacterial PocketBacs for $6 it's so easy to add five or ten to your basket. Which is exactly what happened with me this time. I picked up a few of my all-time favourites and was so excited to try the likes of Confetti Cupcake and I'm Really A Mermaid.
And when it came to my absolute favourite Bath & Body Works fragrance; Ghoul Friend, which is sadly only available in the run up to Halloween, I bought it in bulk on this trip. Hopefully these will keep me going for a few years at least. I don't know the next time that I'll be in the US in September/October so I thought that it was better to be safe than be sorry.
All of the Ghoul Friend
And why is it my absolute favourite scent from Bath & Body Works, I hear you ask? Well, I only took one PocketBac with me to New York last year. So every time that I used it either before getting ready to eat something, after riding the Subway or just to feel a bit cleaner in the city that never sleeps, I would get a strong whiff of it. And as a result, whenever I now smell it, it instantly takes me back to one of the best weeks in my life.
Now the foaming hand washes are normally 5 for $23. And I always feel like spending $20+ on soap is even a bit too spendy for me. Which is why I usually leave the US without picking any up. So when I received an email to say that they would be $3 each for one day only, you can bet your bottom dollar that I hotfooted it down to the store nearest to us. Three seemed like a reasonable amount to buy, considering what I'd already bought at that point in the trip. And for under $10 I was definitely happy with my purchase.
I also picked up some of the foaming hand sanitizers, which they never had on my last trip to the US. They were $5.50 each so considerably more than the traditional PocketBacs but I was keen to try them out. I've also been making a real effort to carry anti bacterial wipes and hand sanitizers around with me wherever I go, particularly now that cold and flu season is upon us. Speaking of actually carrying my PocketBacs around with me on a daily basis...
PocketBac holders
Every year that I visit I mean to pick up a PocketBac holder to stop my PocketBacs from rattling about at the bottom of my bag. But normally they're a bit too OTT even for me. So when I spotted two pretty classic and subdued designs I simply had to have them. I mean, how special do they look without being a bit too much?
Limited edition Mousse To Oils
On what was essentially our very last full day in Florida, we made one last trip to Bath & Body Works. This was with our fingers crossed that most of the Winter range would now be in store. We knew that we would miss all things Christmas but we had started to see quite a few bits from the Winter range pop up in store. So we were over the moon when we found the incredible mousse to oils in the Winter collection.
If you saw my What I Bought At Bath & Body Works haul post from when I went to New York last year, you will remember that I stocked up on the brilliant mousse to oils. Me and my Mum also took advantage of the buy 3 get 2 free deal that was on in-store that day, then using the $10 off $30 coupon to make it a real steal. If you're ever in the US when they have the mousse to oils as part of the range, you simply have to pick some up! They make moisturising so quick and easy to do, especially if you're more than a little bit lazy when it comes to that part of your routine, like I am and as always, they smell absolutely amazing!
A cute cat purchase
On another $10 off $30 shopping trip, I added this adorable cat head band to my basket. At $10.50 it definitely wasn't cheap. Which is why I had put off buying it until I ultimately got it for free. But now that I have it, I'm so glad that I did.
So there's this year's Bath & Body Works haul. I was tempted by some of the candles but they would have put me way over the weight limit when it came to my suitcase so really it was right decision to leave them behind, this trip anyway.
Are you a fan of Bath & Body Works? Do you wish that they would either ship internationally or eventually open UK stores? Which item or items are your favourites from this trip's haul?
