I swear we were able to completely restock all our 75% off tables just from today's shipment. Try working through a sale. It is brutal, and we got in a case or two of Sheer Freesia CBW today. I have to tell myself "You already have three tubes at home, plus several other untouched bottles" but eventually I give in. I already have two tubes of a scrub PLUS another oil warmer on hold.
Thank you sooo much for this information! I don't even use my bath and body works stuff (I'm the kind of person that does like to smell good, but I am always in a rush so i forget to put it on. Or its similar to my MAC addiction--I buy something different when really all I do is keep going back to the same exact one I use everyday cuz its my favorite)

I have been wearing more of my BBW stuff and let me tell you....It brightens my day lol. I'll spray some sprays and then when i get off work, I'll walk into my room and wonder why it smells so girly and pretty.

Sheer Freesia smells....sooooo good. One of my absolute favorites. My sister got me a body wash last year at graduation, and I went into BBW one day after to find the body splash and found it was on sale for $3 (whooohooooo)

Whats the difference between coco cabana and creamy coconut?? (i am in such a summery tropical mood lately, haha I'm sure you guys haven't noticed )

And how does sea spray smell? And what about water blossom ivy? I am going to pick up all of these when I can get to the mall...thanks in advance KiKi

Well see before I was MAC addicted, I was BBW addicted, even before I started working. I think it was my love of the product and willingness to learn that helped get me hired, and my knowledge that has kept me around close to 2 years later. It is a lot different when you work there because it's not as...special. I remember when I was younger, how it was really the cool thing to have. EVERYBODY had it. It is still the cool thing to have but prices have gone up...

Sheer Freesia is one of my favourites. I've got probably 5 of the small lotions, two full-size, three tubes of CBW, 5+ bottles of bubble bath, three bottles of silk splash, and so forth. I hated it when I first started working at the store, but now love it to death.

The main difference between Coco Cabana and Creamy Coconut is that the former of the two is more of a pina colada blend, it has pineapple and such and is more of a blend, whereas Creamy Coconut is a straight-across coconut/vanilla blend, like shaved coconut almost. The difference between Creamy Coconut and Exotic Coconut is that Exotic Coconut is blended to be stronger and even more coconutty.

Seaspray is definitely one of the more masculine scents our company has done. Let me dig it out of my tubs...there! I found my bottle of Seaspray lotion. It's more of a marine scent than the Dancing Waters-the Dancing Waters is very close to the Breathe Happiness whereas Seaspray is crisper and without the citrus/lily notes. Waterblossom Ivy is like rain on grass. The new Rainkissed Leaves is very close to it.

For those 4 scents they are on final clearance in store, so if you see any stock up. I was able to consolidate tubs in order to make room for all the stuff I have bought already, but I need one just for all my trial size lotions. It's almost like take a different one every day. Worst part is I have not cleaned my room in AGES so I have more stuff lurking-which explains where the hell my Green Clover/Aloe splash went off to. That and a crapload of Wallflowers. Do any of you all use the Wallflowers, and if so what scents do you like in them?

Re: Bimbos unite!
Without having it in front of me I would definitely say the perfume is the essence of summer. I don't know too much about notes and such but I do know this is probably the best mac perfume I have seen and the only one i have ever purchased. The scent is crisp and fruity, and oh so sexy! Personally, I love it!

Our Cool Heat wishlist sounds so similar! I too ordered Gulf Stream and Solar White for the same reason, and added Warm Chill (going by the swatches, WC and GS look like they'll pair well together). I'll also be choosing between Blue Flame or Deep Truth! Let me know what you end up getting!

As for Turquatic Heat, i'll have to definitely smell this, I probably wouldn't have even bothered testing this if it weren't for all the amazing descriptions of it. Like Adina, I'm really not too good at picking up notes and such, I just know if something smells pleasing to me and whether or not it'll give people around me a headache!!! (Even though i only ever spritz on enough for someone very close to me to actually smell it).

Hopefully my DD will feel better by tomorrow morning so me and my munchkins can go to the MAC counter!!!

Wow! Thanks, that is sooo helpful. I now want all 3 coconut scents (haha). I'll have to smell seaspray first..Waterblossom Ivy sounds sexy. Final clearance doesnt mean they are going to be discontinued does it? (sorry if thats a silly question) I will definetly stock up. I just have to get to the mall already!
The bad thing is my sister works at The Body Shop. they are okay...but BBW is better IMO. And she gets such a great discount....but I just think BBW scents are better.

I don't use any of the wallflowers. Once I get an apartment I probably will

I'll definetly let you know what i end up buying. I am really excited for it..it'd help my poor debit card if all the shades were ugly and a horrible texture...but we all know that usually doesn't happen with MAC. I can't wait to go to the mall.

Re: Bimbos unite!
One of the things that's actually cool about packing? Finding stuff that was lost! For example: my practically new tube of bare canvas paint! I misplaced it months ago and had to get a new tube. Woooo!

I've never smelled it. I like their born lippy balms. I like...I can't really think of anything else in particular. She got me their japanese cherry blossom body butter, it doesn't have a strong scent to it. But one thing I really want to try from The Body Shop is the white musk or whatever its called.....everyone seems to love that stuff!

You know what used to annoy me. Cucumber Melon from BBW. It still does annoy me. Everyone, their mother, grandmother, and little sister wore Cucumber Melon. Liiiike wow, can i go somewhere without smelling that scent? It wasn't even that great to me...
