Anyone else notice...
 

That Bath & Body Works is going for Sephora?

The SoCal girls might have noticed that the SCP B&BW store carries a great number of skin care brands now. Not so much makeup, though they have Nars, and the new Goldie lines, but tons and tons of skincare...

Hmmm...

They carried makeup at one time.. It was my fave.
Then when I went back to get more when I ran out, told me that they would not be carrying cosmetics anymore , they were trying to not over expand their line.

I wonder, are they reconsidering that stand now?

My sister and I were just discussing this the other day. I was at the Walnut Creek Broadway Plaza B&BW, which is a very big store. I noticed that they really seem to be moving in a different direction. They are carrying a lot of different brands, like you said. Of course, there is a Sephora just a few doors down. I personally find those kind of stores a little bit overwhelming. Sensory overload!

I was concentrating on the many, many sale bins thoughout the B&BW store. I loaded up on a bunch of the body creams. I get so frustrated with them for discontinuing all my favorite scents and bringing out new stinky stuff. Cherry Blossom...blech! It smells like an old lady. I'm still mad that they discontinued Peach Nectar, my all time favorite.

Oh look, a vent thread...
What happened to my Hazlenut???

I'm still irked about that.

(Though I do like the Creme Brulle)

They sell Badger Balm now! That stuff is GREAT!

I love this stuff! I have the Highland Mint lip balm in my jeans pocket right now:)

Highland Mint lives in my bookbag.

Tangerine Breeze lives on my bedside table.

Ginger & Lemon lives on my coffee table.

Cinnamon Bay lives in the medicine cabinet, because the tin is warped and I can't get the lid off very easily (grrr).

The Foot Balm, Anti-Bug Balm, Sleep Balm, and Sore Muscle Rub are kept in the medicine cabinet.

I got a sunburn on Sunday and realized that the Bali Balm has gone missing. I miss it. :(

I have just learned that there is a Chai Rose lip balm. Must find that.


Vive le Badger!

I got the Tutti Dolci Creme Brulee Honey Bath. It smells good enough to eat. Mmmmmm!

I'll have to check out the Badger Balm now.

The Laura Mercier Creme Bulee stuff is supposed to be yummy.Prohibitively expensive, but yummy.Mmmmmm...creme brulee....:D

I love the Tutti Dolce Creme Brulee. And the Sugar Wafer. It smells so freaking good! I put that stuff on and I want to eat myself.

As far as Bath & Body Works scents go, nothing can beat the Black Raspberry Vanilla and the Coconut Lime Verbena. Bliss, I tell you.

FWIW, I found out recently that only the big, important B&BW stores are carrying Badger Balm and (presumably) the other non-B&BW skin care stuff.

And as far as B&BW scents go--Mango Mandarin. Mmmmm.

Coconut Lime Verbena sounds great--until the verbena. That sounds like a flower.

White Tea Ginger is far superior to Coconut Lime Verbena.

I like both of these. But, I wish their scent was stronger.

Oh, MF, Verbena is sort of a lemoney/citrusy scent, but very green. I adore verbena.

OOoh! The Tutti Dolce Chocolate Souffle!! OMG!! Coco Puffs, anyone? mMmMmMMmmmm....

And the other two you mentioned, those have to be nearly my favorites right now.

Does anyone else miss Creamy Coconut?

Is it horrible of me to say that I use the Creme Brulee, then follow it up with the Dessert line, Creamy from jessica simpson?

I love food smells.....

I love foody scents too:) My favourite fragrances are all vanilla based, and if it's a lotion and it smells like (yummy) food, I have it.

I found Creamy Coconut last night!!!
