Semi-Annual Sale 🛍️ haul and chat 🛍️ not a great year? 

Over the years, I found that SAS is more exciting to those who don't shop as frequently as we do throughout the year. Since I didn't get back-ups throughout the season & I had three 20% off coupons I focused my shopping on repurchases that I can sit back & enjoy without having to burn & analyze 😂. I scored all of my candles for $8 or less on the first day so SAS is a wrap for me lol. Fall/Winter candle shopping will be different for me with BBW due to all of the constant repackage/renamed/remixed candles. I'm so glad you picked up Book Loft!

Hey Sarita! Thank you for always being honest and authentically you!! Love your channel and content so much 🤍

I found it hilarious that all you bought was the Vacation Vibes car freshener on your first trip. Your realistic and sarcastic approach while being honest was fantastic.

Iced Pineapple, Strawberries & Champagne and Sweet Pea were totally my staple scents in my teens. My college roommate wore Country Apple all the time. My mom loved Juniper Breeze and Moonlight Path which I loved as I got older. Memories💙

I liked warm vanilla sugar in the 90s. I agree the SAS sale was not so great. I was not very enthusiastic about any of the SAS candles, and the two I tried were very light on burning. It is so fun watching your videos, and you have great reviews. Thank you!

LOVE your videos! You’re articulate, intelligent, knowledgeable, and have a great sense of humor. You and Ken are the best BBW candle reviewers on RU-vid. The others add very little value. Keep up the good work!

When Main Street bakery goes away, I hope it comes back again. ☹️ I looooove that one. I’m stocking up at $10.95

I’m loving the SAS it’s really good. Unfortunately you are not feeling it because you shop ALL MONTH so off course you will feel underwhelmed. I use to shop all the time. I had some home improvement to do so I was on a LOW BUY. So everything seems so new and IM EXCITED try not shopping so often and you’ll get excited again lololol. Love the channel ❤️❤️

I think your assessment of Tropidelic's popularity is spot on. It ended up being way more successful than initially seemed it would be. I was slow to come around to it, but it really is so gorgeous in candle and body care I can see why it was received so well. Hopefully that means it'll come back at some point!

Moonlight Path and Plumeria was my jam in Highschool🤭😅😊

Love the video Sarita! I was gonna pass on the blends but now you have me curious about the in the stars one😂i like in the stars but run from anything baccarat smelling! I did like first sight and didn’t realize it was a dupe. Looks like you’re set for scent beads for awhile 😂hope you enjoy

Yes a banoffee mashup wouldve been amazing!! I was a moonlight path girly too back in the day! 😊

Hey ! I agree with U.. SAS this year is SAD !!! I only got 2 of the 3 wick candles , Ocean & Vanilla Bean mix & Vanilla Cloud.. 2 Wallflower fragrances, Market Peach & Moonlight Path.. None of the body care, not impressed with any of the new fragrances 🙁.. Hand soaps are pretty much the same old stuff.

SAS was super underwhelming for me this year too. I went on the first day at the mall and I left with two pocket back holders and 2 pocket backs 😂 literally the least I’ve ever spent. They did have a couple fresh balsam 75% off 3 wicks but I passed on though even though I love that scent I’m trying to bring my collection down in size.

Good morning thank you soo much for letting us the difference 😮

I didn’t like any of the mashup candles this year maybe I’ll try smelling again in a week

Thank you SO much for sharing your haul and general SAS thoughts. I really appreciate it. I especially am grateful for your take on Velvet Amber Woods vs First Sight. I am a huge fan of the latter and am glad to know that I don’t need the former, as well. Love your channel! Almost to 1K, woohoo! 🥰🎉

As a newer shopper at BBW, I was left disappointed with SAS, in more ways than one. Here in Canada, the prices went up on day 3. I did pick up a few back-up candles and Ocean Driftwood that I’d been interested in. And on the Fall and Christmas table, I picked up a Hanukkah and Pistachio Toasted Vanilla. I also picked up a couple of foaming handsoaps. That’s it. I was underwhelmed.😕 I don’t feel that you are too negative in your reviews and opinions; your detailed analyses, animated delivery, fair critiques, and honest opinions make for a very enjoyable and comfortable time spent watching.✌

Juniper breeze is my very favorite ever from bath and body works. Every once in a while they bring it back but not often

Thank you for the reminder; I've been too busy with 2 jobs to even stop by the mall but will make an effort today. If there's nothing there, I'll concur with the general feeling this year that they didn't really hit it with this SAS. I am hoping to find some of the stuff that came out in January - all those really pretty botanical labels that I completely missed in Winter - but it sounds like I'm not going to find much of that!

(sigh), yeah. You’re right; SAS is very underwhelming this year. With the current return policy, we will not be finding the “hidden gems” (older candles) like we used to.

I love your content !!! So glad I found you ! New subbie !

I was hoping against hope that the Fall Forest candle from last year would show up online for 75% off. It was not to be, sadly, and i feel like we're never seeing that candle again. I only bought a few 75% off Christmas candles but that's it. I'm right there with you on the "going into the store with a basket and leaving with only two car fragrance refills" mood. lol

Actually Trader Joe’s does actually does have the Brazilian Nut products in the stores right now. They have the body butter, body washes and scrubs.

Thank you ! Yes,those SAS candles and body mists did go Up by two dollars. So what have we got to look forward to? Look I just found this island Margarita I bought on candle day. It smells like limeade. Now with July 4th upon us soon why not some mixed drink mash -ups. Cherry limeade or strawberry margarita ? Something with scent, a little rum. 3 weeks to to look forward to ,but only 3 days was that the sale ! 🤷 Some of that stuff has to be shipped ,most of it near me. Not paying for shipping for the unsmellables & miss mashes. Are they trying to get rid of old candles?Was old body mist going expired soon? 😢

I'm not feeling the sale at the moment . I did find some 75%off candles but many things I have issues with . Right now I'm kinda done until wallflowers and soaps drop to 75% still have my 10 off 40 and a 50 gift card. Blend candles I'm tired of they are always a pass for me. Used my 20% off the1st day

I just got my 4 candles to hold me over until the fall releases lol. I had a $10 off $40 coupon, so I used that. My store didn’t have any 75% off candles so I couldn’t check them out. I just got the Plumeria+Sugared Lemon Zest, In the Stars+Honeycrisp Apple, Watermelon Lemonade, and Bergamot and Birch. I LOVE In the Stars+Honeycrisp Apple. Definitely gives fall vibes with the spicy apple.

Oooh, have you tried Method laundry detergent? If you love plant based, herbal leaning scents in laundry , maybe you will like method sage laundry line. That one is a beautiful scent and will definitely not cause any allergies

I was not a fan of the old Bath and body Works fragrances such as Sunripe and raspberries and country apple or moonlight path. I love in the stars but I smelled this mash up candle and would hit me in the face was the Honeycrisp apple so I really found it way too strong in this candle and there was not very much in the stars so I passed on it. I did smell the ocean one with vanillaAnd I did like it but just not enough to purchase it. Thanks for the video they are always interesting

These BBW mash ups are a sad hot mess imo 😂

Girl, I bought three of the coconut milkshakes and oh my God you aren’t kidding. I could barely smell it like at all!!! why do they do that? Shit just don’t release it at all lol I just gave them away. I tried burning it twice.

I agreed with you on everything you said 🤔

I have the blend of rose water & ivy + mahogany teakwood, comparing to the picture you included of mahogany rose notes, it's 100% the same notes

My store only had about 20-75% off candles..bought Autumn (The Perfect Autumn) the only fall candle they had...wallflower plug in 50% and FCP candle (10.95)...was irritated they didn't have more 10.95 candles...used my 20%...and that's all I got...enjoying my stash in my closet 😂...burning "Waikiki Beach Coconut"🌴

I don’t know why they took Mango Mandarin off the trajectory & kept JCB. 😅

Totally agree! Never got the hype. At my store SAS is red bins full of sticky bottles of leftover soap for 50% off 😑 Bring on Fall previews! 🍁

Theu changed jcb when they changed the packaging it doesnt smell the same worse to me i liked the old formula....u might like the smell now

Japanese cherry blossom 😖😏😬

Don't forget clementine from back in the day😅🍊
