I had one of those coupons for $10 off a purchase of $30 or more and I haven't been in BBW for awhile so I figured what the heck, I'll use it. I got that new Hello Sugar body spray that smells like lemon-sugar. OMG, it smells so good, like a lemon cake or something. It's not too tart or sour at all which I was worried it might be. I also picked up one of the 1.7oz. Eau de Toilette sprays in Sea Island Cotton. I've been wanting to try Philosophy's Amazing Grace or Baby Grace because I want something that's fresh, clean and not overly sweet, to contrast every other fragrance I own, ha. But those are expensive, so a friend recommended that I try Sea Island Cotton and it's just what I've been looking for. It's the type of fragrance that would make people say you smell good instead of asking what perfume you're wearing. It has notes of cotton, white freesia, musk and vanilla and it's devine. We'll see how the lasting power is.

I also purchased a mini body spray in the Enchanted Orchid scent. If I like it I might buy some full size products in this scent. I like the packaging on this scent, I love purple. I tried out the new Blushing Cherry Blossom scent while I was there and I wasn't blown away or anything. It's certainly not bad though. I rubbed some of the body cream on my hands and I couldn't stop sniffing them, even hours later. To me, it is very similar to the regular Cherry Blossom but a little less powdery, it's more sweet. I may try it again next time I go back. I sniffed Velvet Tuberose also and I like that so I may look into getting that also. I have another coupon for a free signature collection product up to an $11 value with any $15 purchase that I might have to use...

Nice haul! I'm off to their website now to check out Hello Sugar. I have a $25 giftcard that I've had for a couple of months now. I was waiting until they came out with something that piqued my interest, and this just might be it!

I bought Hello Sugar this weekend and I'm in love with it! It starts off as very lemony sweet, but then the drydown is sugary and warm. It's a body splash even though the bottle looks like a perfume bottle (it's really plastic, which I think is neat!) so the staying power isn't that great, but I still love it and think it's wonderful for the warmer months. I bought the shimmery body lotion to layer with it too. Thanks for the rec, Jacinda!

Great haul! You've really gotten me interested in Sea Island Cotton. I need to look into getting something lighter for summer, so I may check it out.

Nice haul. I was just in B&BW yesterday, and didn't see the new Hello Sugar stuff. But then again, I wasn't looking everywhere. I have that same coupon, and I'm tempted to use it. But then again, I have enough B&BW stuff to open my own store. :D

At my store the Hello Sugar line was tucked in a corner with their Temptations stuff. I guess it's considered a Temptation? I really wanna go back and get more Enchanted Orchid products but I am trying to be good.

It was in the same place at my store.
