Black Friday Haul

November 26, 2018

Good day, lovelies! It’s almost the end of November, and you know what that means … blogmas is around the bend ๐Ÿ‘€ which I’m not ready for LOL. With that said, I probably will make this my last post for the month, if not second to last.

ANYWAY, I’m super excited to share what I got during Black Friday with you! Honestly, I didn’t get huge sticker items… I got a couple of athletic wear apparel, but what’s most important is my Bath and Body Works haul. That’s really what this post is about. My adventure at Bath and Body Works this previous Friday and the goodies I got there.

I can’t tell you how long I spent at that store… maybe 2 hours? I’d say half of that time was spent on looking at and smelling everything and deciding what to buy, and the other half was lining up, waiting for the billions of people in front of me to get checked out.

There really was no discounted item that day, but the current sale was Buy 3 Get 3 Free on any and every item in the store. Gosh darn it, I did not take a picture of the store and the chaos happening, and I regret not doing so! BOTH the Bath & Body Works side and their sister store next door, the White Barn, were PACKED. I’ve never been more afraid of walking through that store, for fear that I’d knock down all their candle decorations!

Well anyway, I’ll share with youย what exactly I got and why I think this haul was absolutely amazing! I’ve provided links below so you can go shopping too, if you want! ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

All of the items at Bath & Body Works were at full retail price that day, BUT there was a “Buy 3 Get 3 Free” on ANY and ALL items in store. Here’s a breakdown of what I got.

 

B&BW’s Aromatherapy line is wonderful and I’ve yet to collect all of them – I only have their “Comfort” lotion, which is Vanilla + Patchouli, but now I’ve got these babies to add to my collection. I really like the way Bergamot smells, and it’s known to relieve tension, stress, and anxiety – something I really need, because I stress really easily. I also just really enjoy the smell of Peppermint, so I got that too! By the time I got there, they unfortunately already ran out of the lotion version so I settled with the aromatherapy oil.

Each of the bottles above were $13.50 USD.

 

Obviously part of my haul HAD to include some of their new seasonal items!! Just look at that pretty packaging that Winter Berry Wonder lotion ($13.50)… like, how could I NOT get it?! Its light and fruity scent is just wonderful.

B&BW’s Rose line had been out for a little while already but I never got to try it. I regret not ever getting it before because it is probably one of the best if not THE BEST rose scents I’ve ever smelled! I chose to get the Rose fragrant mist ($14.50) over the lotion because the rest of my items in my bag were already body creams and lotions. (Inspo taken from Kasia atย https://beautyforthebrain.com/ because she is in LOVE with anything rose scented, especially from B&BW too!)

To be honest, I didn’t pick out that Vanilla Bean Noel lip gloss ($5.50 USD). It was tossed in as a freebie by the employees (aside from my 2 other free coupons!! WHAAATTTT) and I could not be more excited. They have many vanilla scents in the store, and there’s something about their Vanilla Bean Noel line that makes it smell so rich and addicting.

 

Lastly, I decided to pick some things out for my boyfriend. Is it weird that I bought him stuff when he won’t be coming to visit ’til next summer? ๐Ÿ˜ฅ Well anyway, it’s here. I’ll just… stockpile stuff until he arrives. I think it’s really nice that B&BW also has a small section of their store dedicated to men’s body care and fragrances! They all smell very nice, so I definitely had to get him a few things from there. At this time, everything started smelling the same and I could onlyย barely tell the difference between them. Fortunately, I had a second nose to help – my mother’s! She helped me pick stuff out for my boyfriend as well ….ย Boyfriend, if you’re reading this, h-hi. I got stuff for you. ๐Ÿ˜

Teakwood Deodorizing spray ($12.50) – probably my favorite out of all the men’s fragrance. This became one of my freebies thanks to the coupon!

Noir Ultra Shea Body Cream ($13.00)

C.O. Bigelow Barber Elixir Green Cologne ($19.50) – the most expensive item I spent on in B&BW. Wonder how the most expensive thing came to be for the other half and not for myself?? To be fair, the rest of the items are for me… ๐Ÿคฃ

 

SO IN TOTAL, I would’ve paid $119.00 had it not been for all my coupons. Iย had 2x coupons for a $10 off 30, as well as 2x coupons for a free gift with a purchase, so that’s how I managed to grab so much stuff in one purchase. With my coupons combined, I got all of the above for $23.99. ๐Ÿ˜ I’m still in complete amazement that I managed to get all of these for such a price!

Anyway, that’s a wrap for my haul. Did you get anything good on Black Friday?!

    Wow, Geraldine!
    You are such a good bargain hunter! That’s such a good deal for all of those goodies and they all look so good.
    The store sounds like total chaos but I bet it was all worth it in the end to be able to get hold of these.
    So cute that you’re stockpiling gifts for your BF. ๐Ÿ˜
    Take care and have a great week!

      Hahah thank you so much, Hanna, I don’t always get to find good deals but this definitely was my best of the year! The store was jam packed but it was indeed worth! I hope that they still have the same strength in terms of fragrance when he comes to visit! ๐Ÿ˜

    Wow!! This is such an amazing deal!! I wish we had Bath & Body Works here in the UK, they always seem to have such amazing stuff. Nice of you to get a few things for him too, I think I would have been tempted to buy myself a few more gifts with savings that good x

      Thank you so much! I definitely think they should globalize the store, you girls don’t know what you’re missing! I am quite surprised at how I had enough self control to buy my partner anything at all ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜† Thanks for reading lovely! xx

    U know what would be cool! Christmas in July (or whenever heโ€™s coming) for your boyfriend! U could wrap all the stuff u got him and put up a summery Christmas tree! That would be so cute โค๏ธโค๏ธ. Bath and body works seems to have the game on lock. I need to hit them up for some candles.

    My biggest fear for when I go to America is now going into a bath and body works store!!! I love what you got, and especially that cute little lip balm! Also you’re so sweet for buying your Bf some stuff, maybe you can send them to him instead of waiting for so long!

    That’s amazing, 23.99 for all of that!!! I bought a few things online on Black Friday but that was all, I was a bit afraid to go out shopping because I knew it would be chaos, even more busy than it already is now at Christmas time! The Winter Berry Wonder body cream looks so cute, the packaging is so pretty, it sounds great too. I’m always someone who ends up buying things because of their Christmas packaging lol

      I look at the packaging a lot to determine if I want to buy it or not! I only went out to the mall for this and I went at a later time than the opening but it was still packed! I think it was definitely worth it ๐Ÿ™‚

      Aw thank you so much Mary! I feel like Black Friday should be done all over the globe but then similar problems like over-excitement and trampling others might happen… LOL. I have yet to try the Bergamot oil for myself but the Winter Berry is amazingggg! Thank you so much Mary! ๐Ÿ™‚

So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gif So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gift to me ?๐Ÿคฃ I got to try this sakura pink metallic color on my hair and as I expected, the color didn't show up as it showed on the box. I said in the survey I have black hair and still some remnants of blonde in my hair, but not much? Still, somehow I got chosen for this campaign ๐Ÿคฃ it DID however turn my roots a nice reddish brown color? The ends where my hair was blonde are purplish pink. I really wish I was back to full blonde so I could try this out! It would look soo pretty. Regardless, even though it didn't work as I suspected, I still appreciate the color tinting ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ’– TLDR: it works! But you need fairly light hair for it to work. Even the box says so. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Hello! ๐Ÿฅฐ Long time no see eh? I'm back in schoo Hello! ๐Ÿฅฐ Long time no see eh? I'm back in school after a week break for Thanksgiving. I actually got a decent picture of myself during Thanksgiving but forgot to post it hehe ๐Ÿ˜† we spent Wednesday night at my cousin's new house for Thanksgiving and then had more Thanksgiving food during Thanksgiving. ๐Ÿคฃ I'm so stuffed but I miss the blueberry pies and pecan pies! They went too fast ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Also, meet Chewy, my cousin's toy poodle ๐Ÿฅบ isn't he cute? He doesn't wriggle around when you hold him which is the sweetest thing ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†

I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @inf I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @influenster because they know I'm gonna be dying now that school has started back up again. ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฃ I am actually running out of toner so I am so freaking glad part of this care package involved the @humphreyswitchhazel toner! I've never tried anything with witch hazel but it's something I'm eager to try. 
.
I don't do much for my hair either so I think Influenster knew I needed to treat my hair with more love. When I have free time this weekend I'll be trying the @garnierusa hair mask and let y'all know what I think! It kinda makes me nervous because my hair gets so greasy but idk maybe that doesn't affect that?? ๐Ÿ˜† And of course, super grateful for the @advilrelief because I can never get enough pills in me to treat my headaches cause it's the time for me to apply to universities...๐Ÿ™ƒ Can you believe it?! I'm graduating community college (again) in may 2021 and will be transferring soon for my bachelor's!! So crazy!๐Ÿ™ˆ

I still don't know what I'll do with this account, maybe I'll leave it open and just post occasional (really it's rarely... honestly, who am I kidding ๐Ÿ˜‚) photos if I'm somewhere exciting and new!
