Bath & Body Works Semi Annual Haul (#1)

I started off the Bath & Body Works semi annual sale saying I don’t need anything.  Well … because I am a sucker for a sale and e-mailed information on sales always gets me, I ended up making a pit stop at Bath & Body Works and buying a few things.

I was completely out of the plug in wall flowers AND hand soap – so I decided to get a few things because honestly, it’s such a great deal.  I love Bath & Body Works hand soaps. I bought a couple bottles during the last sale and since I’m the only one who uses (my boyfriend doesn’t want to smell like a field of flowers – so he uses regular hand soaps) them they can be rationed.

As mentioned I’m a sucker for a sale … I’m also a sucker for a coupon.  I received a $10 off $40 coupon sent to me via text message from Bath and Body Works, so of course I had to put that to use.  Yeah, on the bottom of our receipts we always get a $10 off $30 coupon, but since those don’t expire and this one sent to me via text did, I decided to use that first.  Anyway!  Here’s all that I purchased:

Hand Soaps:

-          Moonlight Path

-          Raspberry Pink Peony

-          Island Margarita

-          Wild Honeysuckle

-          Island Nectar

Body Wash:

-          Wild Peach Poppies

Body Spray:

-          Daisy Dreamgirl

Wallflowers:

-          Peach Bellini (double pack)

-          White Barn Summer

-          Honeysuckle

-          Wallflower Plug-in unit

Shannon’s VitaCost Beauty Haul!

This is about a two month old haul from VitaCost.com.  VitaCost is a website that sells beauty and health items at a discounted price.  Their prices typically beat out the prices you’d find on Amazon or any other beauty product retailer (for the most part).  They also offer incentives to get $10 off your purchase by referring a friend and having them sign up – while the friend also receives $10 off by signing up through your referral link.  I do admit you think you’re getting a fabulous deal – but the only downside is you have to pay for shipping which is (typically) a flat $5.99.  So in essence you are really only saving $4 off your order – but nonetheless you’d be spending less than you would anywhere else, so it’s kind of a wash.  But anyway onto the haul!

Here are the items I purchased (please do note these are first time buys for me but I did research the brands and purchased some items I saw recommended by a few of the YouTubers I subscribe to):

-          Nature’s Gate Biotin Shampoo

-          Nature’s Gate Biotin Conditioner

-          Dr. Woods Shea Vision Pure Black Soap with Shea Butter

-          Alba Botanica Natural Acne Dote Deep Pore Wash

-          Kiss my Face Natural Moisture Shave Cream

-          Heritage Store Rosewater & Glycerin Spray

-          Mygrastick Roll On (migraine roll-on relief)

-          Desert Essence Natural Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleansing Pads

BTW if you have an Ebates account you can get 3.0% cash back on your purchase – so even more savings!
