Yummy Perfume and Sanitizer

I am so happy to find an eau de toilette version of my favorite all-time favorite fragrance from Bath and Body Works. It is Warm Vanilla Sugar. :D I've loved this scent for almost a decade. I am guessing this scent has been around for quite a while.

I will read the back of the box describing Warm Vanilla Sugar's notes. With those quotes, you can get a better idea of what the fragrance smells like.

"Master perfumers have infused vanilla absolute with basmati rice water and sweet, creamy sandalwood to create this addictively comforting fine fragrance where indulgence meets pure seduction."

I don't know about seduction, but I know it sure is a fragrance to indulge in. My take on describing the scent is that it's sweet, yet it's very light. It's light enough for you to wear every day. Other sweet, dessert-like scents have the tendency to be quite overpowering and even nauseating. Not this one. This has a more pleasant scent that makes you smell as yummy as cookies.

Last time I had this bottle was about eight or nine years ago. It looked different though. It used to be taller and skinnier, I believe. Now, it's a simple, square 2.5 fl. oz. bottle. (Quite a generous amount for a reasonable price at $26.50.) I remember what I had back then had pretty decent staying power. Not the longest lasting, but you still won't feel the need to re-spray multiple times during the day. To enjoy the scent more, you might want to spray again once or twice, maybe. I don't know about the fragrance now if it's still like that. Long lasting or not, it will always be my all-time favorite scent from B&BW. Sweet, light, and classic.

Along with the fragrance, I bought three hand sanitizers. They were only 30¢. I bought two little bottles of Mocha Mousse and I just had to get one more bottle of Coconut Caramel Whip. In the picture, I showed just one bottle of Mocha Mousse though.

Mocha Mousse will make you want to eat your hand just like many other B&BW sanitizers. If you're familiar with Stik-O wafers, this sanitizer smells similar to the chocolate flavored version of them. Each time I smell my hands after slathering them with Mocha Mousse, I crave for a Stik-O or two or three or four. Hmmm... Not good, huh? LOL.

Unfortunately, Mocha Mousse and Coconut Caramel Whip won't be around for long. They were in a display right along with the Halloween sanitizers.

Oh, since the holidays are coming up, it sure would be a nice time to shop for presents at B&BW. Some coupons were thrown in my bag as I was checking out. Hope I don't forget to use them like the previous two I was given the last two times I was there. :P

dapat nag stock up ka pa nung mga paborito mo! ^^ kainis kapag may nagustuhan ka tapos seasonal lang pala :( buti at hindi masyadong matamis yung yung amoy nung warm vanilla sugar. baka kung masyadong masarp yung amoy baka langgamin ka sa trabaho LOL XD

i'm glad that bbw have made perfume version of their body sprays. i don't have a favorite there anymore but i remember liking the sweet pea scent. i think my sister in law still likes that scent. maybe i can just give her that as a holiday gift :)

i forgot to incorporate one color when i used the palette because i was so excited about using the light pink shade!lol i love the color so much! i really thought that it would look weird on me hehe.

yeah the hashbrowns are german potato pancakes :D. when we were in line, i was already thinking about eating the hashbrowns and giving the applesauce to peter because i don't like apple sauce. but the combo was surprisngly good together :D. funnel cake is just fried dough. like a plain donut with a slight crisp. its greasy tho lol! you can even put other toppings like chocolate drizzle or fruits like strawberry bits and sauce.

happy wednesday to you too!

thank you sa greeting ha :D <3

i've noticed how i hardly do eye make up when there's i'm actually attending a special occasion! LOL! the last few times, foundation, mascara, blush, lips, (eyeliner minsan) ang nasa mukha ko. all i know is that, we're always in a rush LOL! kagagaling ko lang sa school and i was hungry, so as soon as i got home, i showered, put my hair up in a bun (lol yet again!), then slapped on the products i've mentioned, tapos yun na... yun na ang look ko lol!

nung nag sale yung bbw with their summer scents, i was so annoyed that i missed out! there were some fruity ones that i liked and most of the ones left were the small sized candles -_-! ang tagal mo na palang gusto yung warm vanilla :D. hmm japanese cherry blossom smells good too! meron naman ako nun in a candle form.

heck yeah, kung di lang ako mabilis tumaba, i can eat potatoes, all day everyday! LOL! di rin ako pihikan... i like mashed potatoes, fries, potatoe salad, hasbrowns...etc LOL

kapag pumunta kayo sa fair, bili ka ng funnel cake :). sa tamis nun, magugustuhan rin ni justin. :)

masaya nga bday ko kasi non alam ko na teh following day is veterans day... which means walang pasok XD! plus, now that I AM a VET, i can take advantage of the free food that some restaurants offer kapag v et day :D

i hope you have an awesome weekend too!
