Bath and Body Works Third Quarantine Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Body Moisturizer, Body Wash & Shower Gel, Candles, Fragrance Mist, Haul, Perfume by LuLu Luvs Makeup

On July 23 2020 I went to The Avenues to return/exchange some stuff that I’d purchased online from Centerpoint (here) and H&M (here).

Aside from that one time Mera and I went to the Starbucks Drive-Thru before swimming (June 19) and the day after, when we went to Five Guys to grab some food before the nationwide curfew (June 20), this was my first real outing since the lockdown!

It felt so strange being back at The Avenues after everything that had gone down.

For starters, everyone including myself, was wearing a mask. It felt so surreal!

There were long queues of people waiting their turn outside every store.

As an added bonus, it was an extra humid day and the ACs were not working, meaning every store at The Avenues was basically a sweat lodge lol

After I’d gotten my Centerpoint stuff sorted out (and I was no longer wheeling a huge shopping cart around the mall) I decided to take a quick peek inside Bath and Body Works (the branch facing Carrefour) and ended up getting a few things from there (on sale).

Full disclosure, my previous order (this) still hadn’t arrived when I picked these babies up.

US Bath and Body Works Spring Shower Gel Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Body Wash & Shower Gel, Haul, Sale by LuLu Luvs Makeup

These Shower Gels were from my U.S. B&BW Spring Haul (here).

Typically, Shower Gels retail for $13.50 but there was a Buy 3, Get 2 Free deal on them.

All of the ones I got were new-new (at the time) so they all retailed for full price with the exception of Champagne Rose which I got on clearance for $3.95 only.

Strawberry Pound Cake (Sweet On You Collection)
Margarita Cupcake (Sweet On You Collection)
Lavender Clouds – Dream In The Sky (Rainbow Collection)
Fresh Raindrops – Dance In The Rain (Rainbow Collection
Saltwater Breeze (New Signature Fragrance)
Champagne Rose (Coming Up Roses Collection)

Don’t they all sound lovely?

US Bath and Body Works Spring Candle Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Candles, Haul, Sale by LuLu Luvs Makeup

These 3-Wick Candles were from my U.S. B&BW Spring Haul (here).

Typically, 3-Wick Candles retail for $24.50 but these babies had been reduced to $10.50 each.

I picked up the Chocolate Lave Cake 3-Wick Candle during my 1st U.S. B&BW Order (here) and instantly flirted with the idea of getting a backup.

As soon as these babies went on sale, I wanted to get a backup, but something told me to go for two.

Once again, my sixth sense was correct because one of the 3-Wick Candles arrived shattered (with broken glass everywhere). Luckily, I had ordered two!

US Bath and Body Works Spring Wallflower Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Haul, Home Fragrance Accessories, Sale, Wallflowers by LuLu Luvs Makeup

These Wallflower Fragrance Refills were from my U.S. B&BW Spring Haul (here).

Typically, Wallflower Fragrance Refills retail for $6.50 but these babies had been reduced to $2.50 (Hot Cocoa & Cream) each and $1.62 (Chocolate Lava Cake) each.

Both of these were scents I’d purchased and fallen in love with earlier so as soon as I saw those slashed prices, I had to pounce!

Fresh Glossier Gift

Posted in Blush, Classics & Cult Following, Fresh, Glossier, Haul, Lip Gloss, Lip Tint, Perfume by LuLu Luvs Makeup

I got these cuties as a gift from my sister-in-law (younger brother’s wife) when she came back from a work trip to the U.K. back in November of last year.

She got me the Brown Sugar Eau de Parfum from the brand Fresh and she got me a Cream-Gel Blush and Lip Gloss Trio from the brand Glossier!

I’ve never actually purchased anything from either of those brands before, but I’ve lusted over Glossier for awhile now and Fresh for even longer than that.

Isn’t my younger brother’s wife the sweetest? There were no iffy scents or unwearable shades. Everything she got me was stuff I’d actually wear and enjoy!

I’ll go over the notes and everything else below.

US Bath & Body Works New Year Hand Soap Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Haul, Sale, Soap by LuLu Luvs Makeup

These are the Deep Cleansing Hand Soaps I purchased in my B&BW New Year Haul (here).

The Deep Cleansing ones are my favorite Hand Soaps from B&BW by far! Sadly, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find the Deep Cleansing ones, online or in-store, locally.

Also, I’ve noticed that the Deep Cleansing ones tend to finish the fastest, whereas the Gentle Foaming ones absolutely refuse to ever finish lol

Therefore, it’s not just an expression, when I say that you can never have enough Deep Cleansing Hand Soaps, because you really can’t. They’re hard to find and even if you do stock up (like myself), you end up going through them pretty quickly, regardless.

I also ordered x2 Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, but they never arrived. The rest were all repurchases from the Fall Traditions 2019 Collection and the Nordic Noel (Holiday 2019 Collection).

Typically, Hand Soaps retail for $6.50 each, but I got them for $3.25 each.

All of them arrived sealed, as per usual (so professional).

US Bath & Body Works New Year Shower Gel Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Body Wash & Shower Gel, Haul, Holiday Collection, Review, Sale by LuLu Luvs Makeup

These are the Shower Gels I purchased on New Year’s (here).

I’d fallen in love with Little Black Party Dress (so sexy!) and Snowy Morning (so fresh!) and Coconut Lime Breeze (Skittles!) all purchased in My 2nd U.S. B&BW Haul (here) and definitely needed to repurchase them not only as Shower Gels, but also as Body Lotions and Fragrance Mists!

Sadly, once the prices got slashed, they went out of stock pretty quick. I’m sooo happy I managed to get a back-up of Little Black Party Dress and Coconut Lime Breeze as Shower Gels though ^_^

The rest were all new to me, granted I had seen Under Water Oasis in our local stores back in Summer.

Apple Blossom and Black Amethyst and Night Blooming Jasmine were clearly florals. Honestly, I thought they were all new because the U.S. B&BW tend to roll out the Spring/Summer Collections 2-4 months in advance, but apparently the latter two were “retired fragrances” that had been brought back for the semi-annual sale.

Rose Water Meringue and Pink Velvet Cupcake appeared to be gourmands from more recent collections, in addition to Christmas Cookies.

Mineral (Men’s Collection) and Under Water Oasis were some nice freshies, to round everything out.

They all arrived sealed ♥

US Bath & Body Works New Year Jar Candle Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Candles, Haul by LuLu Luvs Makeup

These are the Jar Candles I purchased in my B&BW New Year Haul (here).

After my last haulage of Single Wick Candles (here), I definitely didn’t need any more Jar Candles. Heck, I didn’t need any more Candles in general. However, things that smell good, just bring me such joy!

I really had my heart set on Bluberry Pie. Plus, there was a decent deal on Single Wick Candles (Jar Candles). Normally, Jar Candles retail for $14.50 but there was a Mix & Match: 2/$20 deal on them.

I also ordered a 3-Wick Candle in the scent Citrus Crystals (reduced from $24.50 to to $12.25) which I’d previously purchased during Candle Day (here), but I suppose they ran out because it never arrived.

Super stoked I managed to snag these two though! Aside from the cool black lids, the packaging was pretty blah, but I was more interested in the scents. I mean, how yummy did they sound?

US Bath and Body Works Candle Day Haul

Posted in Bath and Body Works, Candles, Dupes, Event, Haul, Holiday Collection, Sale by LuLu Luvs Makeup

Started this post on January 4 and only got around to posting it on April 4 lol

I’ve only ever heard of Candle Day, but never actually experienced it for myself, or even knew what day it fell on. Heck, I don’t think we’ve ever had Candle Day in Kuwait.

So imagine my surprise and delight when I logged on to the U.S. Bath & Body Works Online Store and accidentally stumbled on Candle Day! Basically, if you don’t know what Candle Day is, it’s when 3-Wick Candles go on sale!

I added a ton of 3-Wick Candles to my online cart and immediately placed my order, but my credit cart was all “nah lol you’re outta $$”.

Of all the times to exceed the limit on my darn online credit card, I had to run out of $$ on Candle Day?!?!

Thankfully, I still had some $$ left. There was a lot of “mathing” involved, but I figured out I had just enough for x10 3-Wick Candles, with a little something extra for taxes (we don’t have taxes in Kuwait so I’ve got now clue how to calculate that stuff lol)

Deal at the time of this order:
3-Wick Candles were reduced from $24.50 each down to only $9.50 each
$9.50 Today Only! – with code CANDLECRAZE
