I went to the mall today and stopped in B&BW.They had the holiday scents out already.I guess I'm a snob in that I only use B&BW hand soap and sanitizers.I bought 6 for $24 and got Merry Cookie (2), Salted Caramel (2), Cherry Almond Shortbread (1), Mixed Berry Tart (1), and 6 pocket size sanitizers. I had a $10 off coupon for $30. Of course they give you coupons to entice you back, I'm sure I'll be back several more times! I of course have to get my old standbys Vanilla Bean Noel, Winter Candy Apple, and Iced Gingerbread.

I LOVE the Pumpkin Pecan Waffle scent!

Just stocked up on diffusers and 3 wick candles.

I think you must be one of my cousins. She only uses their hand soaps and hand sanitizers too.

I am not a big BBW fan as far as most of their products, but I do love their hand creams. I am glad they have their Vanilla Bean Noel and their Winter Candy Apple back, these smell so good.

Every time I apply these hand creams when I am out in public, I will almost always have a woman lean over and ask me what that scent is and want to know what smells so good! One time it happened in the movie theatre, when DH and I were sitting there waiting for the movie previews to start. It was the vanilla bean I was using.

I bought the Salted Caramel, but returned it. It was too strong for me. I thought it smelled like perfume.

But, I LOVE the Mixed Berry Tart soap and also the Cherry Almond Shortbread. The Raspberry Meringue is just ok.

I looked online yesterday and my favorite product is coming back for the first time in like 5 years- Twisted Peppermint Body Scrub. Best stuff ever. I saw it online yesterday and ordered 6. Buy 3 get 3 free.

I've also stocked up on the Vanilla Bean Noel and Twisted Peppermint shower gels.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I just recently purchased an online order from BBW. Got the Marshmallow Pumpkin Body Wash and body cream. And I have to say that I do NOT like the cream. I find it to be very cloying--which is my issue with many of their scents. However, I like the body wash in this scent just fine.

Got a few hand soaps, too. And that's about it. Smiley Happy I usually can keep it to candles and some soaps anymore at BBW. I've tried a bunch of different scents over the years and the only one I ever return to is the VBN. I just found two body lotions in my stash last week and I had to toss them. I think they were from 2 seasons ago and they had "turned." I have quite a stash of lotions that I rotate things in and out of and rarely do scents in lotions turn on me. But that means I have to go replenish!{#emotions_dlg.scared}Cool

The BBW hand soap is the only product that I buy currently. I have liked scents in the past and they are always discontinued and I haven't found a scent that I like in quite a while. My favorite scent was pink grapefruit that was discontinued several years ago. I still like their hand soaps and will continue to use them, although I don't always like some of the scents.

I always get those around this time of year. I have to have the Winter Candy Apple, and last year I also had the peppermint and the cranberry hand soaps. There are always coupons on their website you can usually use in the store. It's one of those little things that has become a tradition in my house at the holiday season.

Their sanitizers don't dry out my hands. Love those. I like their candles too.

I wait all year for Vanilla Bean Noel Lotion. I usually purchase 12 bottles to last all year. Well this year I decided to try the new formula of the Vanilla Bean Noel body cream. Much to my disappointment the new formula of the cream smells awful. All I smell is a strong scent of cocoa butter. Maybe it is just my body chemistry because a lot of people seem to love the new formula of the body cream. But I'm going to exchange all my Vanilla Bean Noel creams for the lotions. I may try the body cream in another scent because it does feel wonderful on the skin. But for me the Vanilla Bean Noel does not smell the same in this new formula of body cream.

I got BBW coupons in the mail last week for their new seasonal fragrance: A Thousand Wishes. I'm dying to smell it. Has anyone here sampled it? Opinions?

I've never used BBW's hand soaps or candles. Use their shower gels and body lotions faithfully. Glad to hear the Peppermint Scrub is back. Thanks!
