Bath and Bodyworks Semi-Annual Sale!

Every year, Bath and Bodyworks and Victoria Secret have 2 sales. One is in January and the other is in June. I decided to make use of this wonderful opportunity and purchase some items. I only really buy things from Bath and Bodyworks when they have this sale because otherwise I probably wouldn't get them.
So here's what I got:

I apologize about the "glowy" look that my camera is capturing. Normally it wouldn't be this over exposed, even with this type of light! But yes, this is the bag. I like the packaging because it captures a cute, yet simple essence.

So one of the items I picked up was this Black Raspberry Vanilla scented fragrance mist. And let's just say that I LOVE IT. The smell is fruity and sweet, yet sophisticated. And once again, the packaging/design is nice and cute. I've been using this everyday for the past week and a half and I've been really enjoying it. As you can see, the original price is $14, but with the sale it's $2.75. However, the cashier priced it wrong and had me pay $3.50. I only realized this when I got home, but I'm not going back to get a mere 75 cent refund.

The next one I purchased was this Japanese Cherry Blossom hand soap. I love Bath and Bodywork's hand soap's in general. They always smell good and work wonders. The good thing about these is that they're anti bacterial and they aren't tested on animals. My mom chose this out for herself, but if I were to chose a soap, I probably would have gotten a girlier flavor in their collection of foamy soaps. The foam is so fun to use when washing my hands! :) The price for this is originally $5, but I got it for $3.

Now this one is a Cherry Blossom shower gel. Bath and Bodywork's shower gels are the best ones I've found yet. They smell good, lather well, and keep you clean. The scent lasts quite a while on your skin, too. Plus, the cute designs on the bottle make showering a little more fun. The price is originally $11, but I got this on sale for $3. 

I got this Pink Chiffon shower gel as well. The lady at the counter said that this scent was the girliest one they had so of course I had to get it! It was the same price as the one above. It truly is very girly and flowery, but that's what I love about it!

Right before we were about to pay, I added this to the list of items to buy, so I guess it was more of an impulsive purchase. Originally I wanted to buy a candle from the Summer collection, but I couldn't pass this one up because of it's wonderful scent. The scent is light, yet floral. It's not overwhelming, so you can't get sick of it easily. 

I'm not usually a candle person, but I wanted to try this out to see how it is. That's why I got the mini one instead of the larger one that costs $3 or the largest one that costs $4. This one was $1.75.

This is my last purchase - a Sweet Pea Scentportable car fragrance. On the back, there is a clip to attach to your mirror or visor (the thing that you can attach your automatic garage door button to). This one is for my mom to put in her car. We got it once, but it was thrown away so I hope this one stays! 

That's all I got from these sales. Unfortunately, I couldn't get anything from Victoria Secret or the store's PINK line, but maybe next time I'll be able to. I'm happy with this purchase and hope to use these products well. 

So, did you get anything from these sales? I'd love to know!

Express Scarves - Sale

Just surfing around Express and found these scarves. Aren't they cute? The first one has a leopard print and the other has an ombre purple/pink design to it. Both are infinity scarves, so they're super easy to just sling around your neck when you walk out of the door. Perfect for the colder seasons of fall, winter, and early spring. 

Since Spring is almost at its end, I'm hoping these scarves go on sale sometime soon. I've been eyeing them for a couple of months now. 

Either that, or I'll just but a cheaper infinity scarf. The only reason why I want the Express ones so much is because I heard these scarves have such great quality. I have at least 5 friends that have the leopard print scarf that recommend it and they've had the scarf for a long time. 

The sale they have on right now is pretty great, considering the original prices. Still, I don't feel comfortable fishing out $45 at once (this is where my desi-frugalness kicks in). 

Any scarves you've been eyeing?

Small Purchase- Redken and Arizona Tea

The other day, my mom and I were going to Supercuts right after school to get Imran's hair cut. Before we entered the hair cut store, we actually went to the store right next to it, which happened to be Jewel. If any of you know me, you may know that I LOVE Arizona tea. It's just so cooling and refreshing with the perfect tint of fruityness! My favorite are Peach Green Tea and Half Mango, Half Tea. How about you? So we picked up some Arizona and some 66 cent Warhead jelly beans.

Normally the jelly beans wouldn't be priced so low, but with Easter just passing, everything is super inexpensive! So if any of you are looking for some sweets to buy, I urge you to look in that section.

Anyways. so afterwards we stopped at the Supercuts next door. While Imran got his haircut, I looked around the dainty little shop for some hair products. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I knew that Supercuts always have the most amazing sales so it was fine by me to spend the time looking around. Supercuts always has great deals at the counter - up to even 60% off!
I was debating between getting this box of Redken products ($5) or a shampoo and conditioner full-sized Paul Mitchell- ginger scented ($10). Even though the Paul Mitchell products were of great value, I absolutely despised the smell. Plus, I decided to look for conditioners and shampoos that are Sulfate free so they don't damage the hair, but the Paul Mitchell product did have Sulfates, which is why I left it behind.

The box of Redken products was situated on the counter claiming that it was $18, but now is $5. With this value, I purchased the products. I've been absolutely enjoying some of the items. While I haven't used the hair spray yet, I used the texture cream and it was really interesting. I found it so cool how the texture cream comes out of the tube with the easy move of the nozzle.

So here was my small purchase/mini haul. If you're interested in a deeper review of these products, just shoot me a message!
