Haul | Bath & Body Works and LUSH

Happy Monday! I have an itty bitty collective haul to share with you all that consists of super colorful and super spring smelling products! Bath & Body Works was having their 2 for $22 (I miss the $20, seemed like a better deal) and after having to stand in front of the candles for 5 straight hours and shoving them in people's noses, I fell in love with some of the scents. So one day my dad took my sister and I to the mall and I begged and pleaded to let me just get two candles! Here's what I got:
  • Palm Beach Cooler | I love when Bath & Body Works puts out cocktail scented candles. I personally think they are the best. I liked Pink Sangria and Island Margarita, but my sister and I wanted to get a scent we both liked and that was Palm Beach Cooler. It's has notes of berries and grapefruit, but ultimately smells like a watermelon lollipop!
  • Oceanside | I love the beach. I love the ocean. So I love everything about this candle. It smells like the ocean air. I don't know how else to describe it, really. Just picture your perfect beach day with the sun shining, a tiny breeze, and THAT'S how the air smells (not helpful, I know!) 
Even though I got a ton of LUSH over the holidays I couldn't resist popping over for the Valentine's Day products because they are consistently my favorite! I look forward to them every year and if they ever discontinue these two I will have to threaten them to bring it back write a strongly worded letter! So here's what I got:

  • The Ex-Factor | The concept of this little guy is brilliant beyond comprehension. They created this blue gingerbread looking man with a teeny pink heart and made him a fizzy so that you could slowly and surely use him as voodoo ritual. Limb by limb, sink this guy into the bath and watch as they dissolve into nothingness. It's really funny and kind of sad cause of that cute wittle smile! I feel sort of bad when I dissolve him ): I usually get two of these but decided to be good!
  • Magic Mushroom | I'm never good with these guys. I always buy at least two and I call that being responsible. This is my favorite bubble bar from LUSH! It smells of strawberries and cream and just creates the biggest bubbles with loveliest pinky/red bath water. I always seem to sit in the bath a tad bit longer when using this guy! 
That's the end of my haul. I'd love to know if you guys snagged any of the new tropical Bath & Body Works scents or at least had a chance to sniff them out! Also, if you got anything from the LUSH Valentine's Day products. They had a really lovely smelling massage bar that I passed up on but I can't stop thinking about it, haha! And I may need more Magic Mushrooms! Ahhh, the curse and pull of LUSH and shopping!

  6. I was just about to order two mushrooms but I wasn't sure if they where any good. I need to use my 10$ giftcard I got from spending too much money with them during the holidays!
    Going to order them now, your posts are always so helpful!

    1. Oh def. not. Wait till they have their 2 for $20/$22 deal and get them then! They're not worth the $20 no matter how good they smell!
