Haul Time!

Hey everybody!  Today I went to the mall and I bought some stuff.  It's not a very big haul, but I am really excited about what I got.  I just wanted to come right out and say that I am not being sponsored by any company mentioned and all opinions are my own.  This is not a paid review.

The first place I went to was Bath and Body Works to get some Wallflowers for my bedroom.  I got the 6 for $24 deal.  At least at my store they had all of the fall scents out in body products, candles and wallflowers.  They also had the Halloween Pocket Bacs in stock, but I didn't get any even though I wanted the pumpkin one.  Keep in mind that I am a new wax addict, so I have never really tried the fall line of Slatkin fragrancing or really any BBW fall products in general. I did smell these scents before at the end of July at my other mall where LUSH is.  Okay, onto the scents.  The first (and best) Wallflower I got is Leaves.  Leaves is the best scent from the fall line and to me smells like apple cider.  Real apple cider with that fermenting note and tangy sweetness, not apple and tons of cinnamon.  It is definitely a savory, bakery type sweet.  I am addicted to it, am getting CBV's dupe in my fall order and will definitely buy more of the Wallflowers in this scent to last me all year round.  The next one I got was Cinnamon Stick. I am usually not a huge fan of straight cinnamon, but this one was more toned down as opposed to red hot cinnamon candies or Big Red gum.  I also got Lavender & Vanilla.  This one smells exactly like the BBW Lavender Vanilla Aromatherapy Pillow Mist that I use every night.  It smells fantastic and is the perfect scent to get you ready for bed.  I also got Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin.  This one smells like a mix between a cinnamon donut from Dunkin Donuts and a not spiced pumpkin scent.  I can definitely see myself using this one.  The second to last one that I got was Marshmallow Fireside.  I get the smokey campfire and the sugary sweet marshmallow pretty equally.  A very nice scent and perfect for the winter.  The last Wallflower I got is Frosted Cupcake.  This one smells like a cupcake that is iced with vanilla buttercream icing.  I am very excited to start experiencing Wallflowers and if I like them, I will go back and get more.  I will probably get a ton of Leaves ones because I love it so much!  I had a coupon for a free travel size Signature Collection item and I guess everybody else had one too because they were almost out of all the travel sized items.  I wanted a Sweet On Paris, but they didn't have minis, so I settled for the shower gel in Malibu Heat, which smells like a tropical beverage that is pretty sweet.  The website says it is pineapple and orange with coconut milk.  I am taking this on my vacation to Mystic on the 20th, there will be a haul from that trip when I get back.  I also got a potetially dangerous for my wallet 20% off coupon.  I will use that and the survey coupon I will get for when I get more Leaves and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Wallflowers.

After that I went to Yankee Candle to pick up the Apple Pumpkin tart which smells like red apples, pumpkins, cinnamon and cloves.  It was buy one get one 1/2 off, so I got a Kitchen Spice tart half off which is a very spicy scent.  I wish they had Home Sweet Home on that deal because I like that one better than Kitchen Spice, but I prefer Kitchen Spice over Macintosh, which was the third scent on that deal.

That's all I got on this magical shopping trip of unicorns and rainbows and I will see you next time.  Good night!
