There is a special place in my heart for B&BW coupons. They are ridiculously generous.
My Korean friend, for whom it was her first time ever in the US, had a romp at B&BW. She preferred it over Sephora!
This is a story of how we brought the price tag down from $60.10 to $34.34.
We combined three coupons/promos:
- 20% off entire purchase
- 1 item free (up to $13.50 value)
- Buy 3 Get 3 free
Between the two of us, my friend and I each picked out three items and then added on one extra item to redeem the “1 item free.”
She bought:
- Gingham Ultra Shea Body Cream
- Sweet Almond & Honey Ultra Shea Body Cream
- Intense Lavender Body Lotion
I bought:
- Wild Blueberry Ultra Shea Body Cream
- Gingham Ultra Shea Body Cream
- Sea Island Cotton Body Lotion
- Aromatherapy Essential Oil Body Lotion – Lavender
She generously gave me the extra item 🙂 We only paid about $17 each.
The Aromatherapy Lavender landed itself on my bedroom dresser, next to JoMalone and a bunch of perfume rollerballs. (Vicktor&Rolf, Maison Margiela, Fresh) The lotion is non-tacky and melts into the skin.
I alternate between Lavender and English Pear & Freesia at night. Lavender helps me sleep.
The Wild Blueberry currently resides in my bathroom, atop the …well, loo.
It’s accompanied by Japanese Cherry Blossom (another B&BW classic) and a bottle of “what used to be body milk but now is a mixture of water & lavender oil & crushed ylang ylang soap.” I intended it to be red – yellow – blue (ish).
It smells amazing! Takes a bit longer than the lotions to seep into my skin, but does a bang-up job in keeping me moisturized.
I love mixing Wild Blueberry with a hint of Philosophy’s Fresh Cream; the combination reminds me of grape 새콤달콤 (Saecomdalcom? It means SweetSour), a beloved fruit chew from my prepubescent days. (My hubby says it reminds him of cranberry juice. Funny how scent awakens different kinds of nostalgia in everyone.)
In all, a good haul.
