Big sale starts on Monday - semi-annual sale - up to 75% off!

I need some suggestions for a nice summer scent - I want something to use on my Disneyland vacation. You know how certain scents remind you of the time you used the scent for the first time? Hawaiian White Ginger was somethong I bought as a teenager in Adventureland in Disneyland. I'd like to find a new B&BW scent to create a new memory. Any suggestions?

Minnie, if you ever find Hawaiian White Ginger again, please do remember to let me know where you found it, 'kay? I've been on the quest for that since I discovered it about 25 years ago. I wore it religiously at 14.

And thanks for the heads up! I know they do their sales in June and January -- I usually stock up. They disccontinued my most favorite scent - Tranquil Tropics, but every once in awhile I've found it at those June sales.

Yes, thanks for letting us know! It's time for me to stock up again!

I love Coconut Lime Verbena!

Wasn't Hawaiian White Ginger an Avon scent?

Okay, I'm going to sound like a wierdo now, but I love the "tropically" smell of suntan lotions. What B&B scent would I like, do you suppose??? Something to make me feel like i am in the Carribean or such!

 

[snoopy]

Kristy, I would recommend my favorite B&B Works scent, Tranquil Tropics, but UNFORTUNATELY they discontinued it.

They also have one that I always see at these June sales but not really any other time of the year -- its called Coco Cabana -- try it, I think you'll like it, especially if you like the suntan lotion smell.

Blondie -- I bought the White Ginger I used to wear actually in Hawaii. I hit the jackpot when I was 14, babysitting for this nice little girl and her rich family -- they took me with them to Hawaii for 2 weeks in exchange of babysitting. They also bought me that Hawaiian White Ginger perfume. Would love to find something similar, but ever since, I have never found one. Nothing even close to how good this smelled.

Blondie - Avon might have had a Hawaiian White Ginger - but I distinctly remember buying this one in Adventureland - right near the old Tahitian Terrace, where they had the Hawaiian Dinner Show.....ahh...the memories!

Another vote for Coconut Lime Verbena. When it first came out, I hid all the rest of my wife's other B&BW stuff so that she would have to use the Coconut Lime Verbena lotion that I bought for her.

LOL!

DRATS! Why'd ya'll have to tell me about this sale?! I'm trying to save money!! It's gonna be soooo tempting to go...but I'm gonna be strong and NOT do it. Nope. Not gonna!!

 

[MelCald]

OMG!! I love the Coconut Lime Verbena too! Kids bought it for me for Mother's day. It has such a great "Summer" scent!

 

[Kallison]

Thanks -- teacher's gifts.

I always used Cool Citrus Basil, but since it is discontinued, and I am almost out, I bought Coconut Lime Verbena last time I went there, and it is very nice. I will be hitting this sale on Wednesday to stock up on some more!

Positive- I have done it at least 5 times already. I went to Victorias Secret at our local mall and I had a B & BW bag in my hand and the girl told me I could use my VS card there because they are owned by the same company. She also said you can use it at the Limited (I believe- I can't remember for sure if it was the Limited or Express- one of the two.) They are all owned by the same company, and since the other 2 don't have store Credit Cards they allow you to use your VS one. I don't think it would just be something local, do you?

It's Limited and they also own Lane Bryant.
as for using Credit card I honestly have no idea.

I know it's been a while since I last posted but that is partly due to the fact that I got a job - at Bath and Body Works. I just got home from a 9 hour shift of preparing for the BIG sale. In response to some of the posts:
- The Big Sale runs until 4th of July weekend - extended hours M-T-W.
- Coco Cabana will be at the sale on the $6 table.
- Snoopy, Tranquil Tropic is also on a sale table, either $4 or $5.
- Cool Citrus Basil will be there but in smaller sizes and antibac soaps.
- Big 75% off table with Sea Spray, some SPA products, hair brushes, Yoga stuff and a ton of other stuff.
- The Limited Corp. owns BBW, White Candle Barn, Victoria's Secret, but no longer owns Lane Bryant. You can use your Victoria's Secret charge at any of the Limited Company's.
- The regular scents, (Coconut Lime Verbena, Cotton Blossom, Mango Mandarin, etc.) are not going to be on any huge sale - just buy 3 get one free.
- Each week of the sale there will be a Weekly special. The special starting tomorrow is Wallflower Starters $5 and the small real essence candles $5.

I think that covers just about everything. Hope this helps!

Wow Deno, thanks for the tips!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Thanks, Deno!

 

[minniecarousel]

Thanks Deno! - will you update us every week?

For summer scents I love:
Mango Mandarin - it reminds me walking outside around the Poly. I don't know why exactly, it just reminds me of Disney.

Sweet Pea - OMG I just love this. It makes me feel so feminine when I wear this and it lasts along time.

I was just coming to post that I work there, and would give y'all the downlow on things, but someone already stepped into! Saves me the typing!

Enjoy your shopping, ladies =)
