Bath & Body Works A Thousand Wishes

Ready to make a wish ? It is almost the Holiday season after all . How about a A Thousand Wishes ? That's the name of the lovely new seasonal scent from Bath and Body Works coming next month.


A Thousand Wishes scent really does seem to have a bit of effervescence , with quince and pear along with a dash of  champagne .  Peony and freesia add a touch of floral and creamy almond, musk and amber ground the sweetness .

It's a nice cool weather scent  and I love the sparkling label with the burgundy bow. It's festive as can be and will make  great gift sets .

A Thousand Wishes comes in the full line of Bath and Body Works products including  a brand new item- Crystal Confetti Hair & Body Spray . The scent will launch on Nov. 3 but is available online now and is LE.

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel is $ 12.50

Bath and Body Works Pocket Bacs for Men

Did you know there were Pocket Bacs for  men ? These are new and kind of a great idea. After all , BBW 's men's scents smell really nice  and it'll be much easier getting most men to use these if they don't have pink fruit on the front.

Perfect for the teens, the college kids and significant others .

As with all Pocket Bacs  these are $1.75 but a 5 for $5 sale is going on now.

Bath & Body Works Bella Italy Collection - Shower Gels & Mother's Day GWP

Anyone want to go to Italy this Summer? Of course we do.  The Amalfi Coast would be my choice . Well Bath and Body Works wants to take you there if only via their new line Bella Italy

There are three new scents:

-Rome Honeysuckle Amore - a soft peachy floral .

-Venice Dolce Berry- a  sweet berry blend that reminds me  of a blue snowcone. 

-Capri Seaside Citrus- a light citrus with a definite hint of the nectarine note.

 All are juicy and Summer-y and available now across the whole Bath & Body Works product line.

 For Mother's Day, BBW has a special buy.  Their Mother's Day VIP Tote is $ 20 with a $ 40 purchase and  has Bella Italy products.

Bath & Body Works Lambies Return Holiday 2012

Lambies  are back. Many of us missed them in their absence from Bath and Body Works holiday collection and now they are back. I do not have images yet but  show what previous years have looked like.   I do have descriptions .

 Lambies, if you  don't know are super soft , comfy slippers and there is also a plush  animal.  I love my slippers but after 2  years  they  need replaced, so this is happy news.  The ballet slipper style has been the most constant design , so I think that's what we'll see but I  can't say for sure.

Per BBW:

Lambie Slippers ($16.50): The perfect combination of comfy and cute, these slippers make winter days spent indoors extra cozy. Back by popular demand, the cult favorite slippers are the gift on everyone’s list.

Lambie Plushes ($9.50): Cuddle up with the season’s most adored companion—Bath &Body Works’ huggable, ultra-soft lambies.

Rio Rumberry is one of the new tropical scents Bath and Body Works rolled out after the holidays. It could called Yumberry.

It smells like a delicious tropical cocktail without the alcohol. Lots of coconut , papaya , berries and  just a little floral . No musk thankfully( musk is not a fav here. )

It's a little Caribbean vacation in a botttle.

Charmed Life is the newest Signature Scent from Bath and Body Works. It's a fun , fruity scent that feels more summer than fall but it's here now. It's very girly and one that should appeal to many. Berry, Pear and Musks seem the predominant notes to my nose.

Salty Caramel Candle by Slatkin for Bath & Body Works

 Hands down this is one  of the best smelling candles EVER. Whether it's burning, or just sitting out, it smells so amazing. It's caramel ,vanilla , nuts and toffee. Rich and sugary  and just like what it's name implies.  It's Crunch n Munch in a candle but better.

This is part of the fall line, but there is not a time when this won't smell right. It's too delicious.  Go try it- if you smell it, you will want it.
 
I see they a have it in a room spray as well. Think that's going on the "to buy" list next trip.

Have you tried any of the fall  Slatkin scents yet ? Any favorites?

Are you ready for the Royal Wedding? I am. I have been a royal watcher since childhood and eagerly await William's big day. Sadly despite my decades of support , it appears my invite has been lost in the mail

The fever  has even  caught on at Bath and Body Works who have tweaked  both the Pocket Bac and  Liplicious lines with a funny royal/ brit bent.  Personally I think Ms. Kate needs to give these out at her Hen  do (  what we call a bachelorette party ) .

Bath and Body Works Secret Wonderland

Secret Wonderland is the new Bath and Body Works Holiday scent. It comes in the usual assortment of products across the brand.

It has a berry scent mixed with  peach, light musk , and amber  to my nose. It's not too strong  and  include notes of  Strawberry, Goji Berries, Raspberry, Jasmine,peach , Coconut Musk, Creamy Vanilla and White Amber.

My favorite products are the Sensual Swirl Body Lotion- a creamy gel/lotion mixture that looks very cool in the bottle. It's a  fun way to get your lotion fix.

And because I am firmly in the you can never have too much hand lotion camp, I love the Shea  Cashmere Hand Cream. It very moisturizing and gives off a nice  bit of the scent.

Secret  Wonderland is online and in stores now at http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/
