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.
Order was made Oct 8. Box was shipped Oct 10 and delivered Oct 13. With tax, price was $5.30.
Hello Autumn Groove.
Here are the list of items, along with that $5 off $15 Beauty Purchase coupon.
These are pretty substantial for minis. Am especially loving the Cetaphil, Olay, and the bliss because they’re the perfect size for traveling.
Looking forward to the next box 🙂
“English Pear & Freesia” almost feels iconic. It’s the go-to scent that people usually recommend when someone asks them “what should I get for my first JoMalone scent?”… at least, that’s the case with people around me.
List of ingredients. You receive 8.5oz / 250 ml.
The lotion feels moisturizing and non-tacky. It spreads easy and sinks into the skin within a few seconds to minutes depending on how much you use.
This layers well with most other floral/sweet/fresh perfumes I own, such as Viktor&Rolf FlowerBomb, Fresh Hesperides, most Anna Sui perfumes, Tocca perfumes etc.
