Bath & Body Works

Busy store! Too much stuff in one place… Yikes!
Great scents but it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the clutter of candles, soaps, etc…
Staff can be a little pushy with sales.

Sensory overload here! There are so many scents and new scents that come out (weekly it almost seems!) that if you don’t find something you like, just check back and I am sure you will!
I love love their large 3 wick candles and stock up whenever they are on sale (like today — $ 12!). Honestly I find these last such a long time and the scents are so yummy that it makes you never want to leave your house
They always have promotions going on — buy 3 get 3 for free for example. This is perfect when you have lots of gifts to give out — Christmas, bridal shower gifts/​prizes, bridemaids gifts.
Men — word of advice — pick up a few of the lovely smelling candles and soaps to keep around. Women notice when they use your bathroom and you have lovely smelling soap. It’s the little things like these that matter!

Never thought I’d be writing a review to praise a bottle of soap, but my-​oh-​my, this farmstand apple soap I currently have in my bathroom is most delightful! I am quite a fan of pretty much all BBW’s (hehe) soaps and candles. Even my boyfriend likes the scents. Cranberry, peach, vanilla. Gotta love it. What I’m even more of a fan of is that BBW doesn’t test on animals or use any animal ingredients in their products (I e-​mailed to make sure.) So I can definitely get behind that! They always have promotions going on, and coupons always seem to be available on-​line. Only thing I don’t like about this location is their line-​up process. You’ll be standing in one line, perfectly content to continue waiting where you are, when all of a sudden you’re ordered to move to a different line with the same amount or more people in it. Not a fan of that. Otherwise, nothing but love.

I love BBW! My favourite products are the hand soaps, candles, lotions, shower gels and the Aromatherapy line. The store is roomy and more spacious compared to the store at another mall I shop at. The pros of BBW is the selection and variety
of scents and lotions, the frequent promotions and sales. You can find coupons
online or get them instore, plus the survey coupons come in handy, $ 10 dollars off any $ 30 dollar purchase. The downside to shopping at BBW is that the company
discontinues products quickly, so don’t get too attached to a particular product.
Also some products can be overpowering with the amount of fragrance. I have to admit since BBW opened stores in Canada, I find myself no longer shopping at The Body shop or Fruits and Passions. Love them or hate them, BBW has it’s appeal.

I am completely addicted to BBW Aruba Coconut. I love anything to do with Coconut, but this stuff smells like a heavenly clean tropical waterfall. It’s just the right balance of floral, fruit and sensual. I don’t know what I’ll do when the discontinue this limited edition fragrance. I love their candles, too, but can’t burn them anymore since we got our parrotlet as they are bad for birdy lungs.
I had a coupon so I went to stock up today. Normally, when I go in, someone will offer me a basket or a bag. Today they didn’t– but this could be because I had my bike panier in hand and it was more than enough to carry.
My arms were full with product at the register even though my guy was now carrying my panier. They have so much stuff at the check out, but the way this location is set up, it makes it really hard to peruse things. They had some new scents at the register, but there’s really no time to test them while paying. Then, once you’ve paid you have to walk past everyone else who is cashing out or backtrack down one one of the skinny little aisles filled with people waiting and all their items in hand or browsing the travel sizes.
I really wish they would open up the concept a bit more. I know they want to cash in on the impulse buys, but when it gets busy it makes shopping here very awkward and unpleasant.

I stopped in here today, for an emergency hand soap run (who has those? — People with 2 dogs probably! ha ha)
Anyways, it was a super-​quickie stop. They had what I needed — I totally love that the pricing is close to what it is in the US, I’m thankful not to be trekking hand soap across the border.
7 for $ 25 — stock ‘em up! They have nice bubble bath etc, and it’s probably one of the only places that’s not a drug store where you can find bubble bath — in the in scents you want!

I love BBW’s!
Yeah you heard me. I’m secure enough in my manhood to make that statement. I come here and stock up regularly on their hand soap and scented candles. Sometimes a guy just wants his man cave to smell like Caribbean Essence and for his hands to remind him of Sun-​Ripened Raspberries.
There’s nothing wrong with that and if you think there is, well poo-​poo to you!
