Happy update at bottom of thread!
Within the last year or so DS has gotten me addicted to BBW and the Peas have enabled me (3 wick candle day was out of control, lol).
When we went there before Christmas to buy some gifts (and some for ourselves) I had a coupon for a free item and I got some Blush Cardigan body spray.
I didn't buy any lotion at that time because I want to make sure I liked the scent on me and I was already spending $$.
DS insisted on wrapping it up as part of Christmas and so I didn't try it until then.
I really love the scent but got busy and didn't get back to the store right away.
I looked online and it was out and when I went to the store yesterday they were completely sold out. WAHH!!
As a relative newbie to BBW I did not realize that most scents were only available for a very short time. Exceptions being ones like JCB (Japanese Cherry Blossom), BCM (Black Cherry Merlot) and Champagne Toast.
So now I have body spray I love and no matching lotion or cream to go with. So very disappointing.
So now I will have to find some unscented lotion to use when I want to use that spray.
So that is my totally First World whine for today.

They got rid of the body wash I liked and all of the new stuff had floral or perfume notes whether they need it or not. Everytime I find one I can tolerate, it turns out to be seasonal.
Im probably going to switch to The Body Shop as their scents stay pretty stable.

If you are on FB or Insta, I would post there and ask if anyone has that lotion and would be willing to sell or trade for another scent? Also did you check online? I have sometimes purchased off their website.

It's always a bummer when that happens, I agree. Couple of years ago they came out with Dahlia fragrance and DD was so excited for something with her name on it so we bought her the whole line, because it did smell really pretty. Now she only has some of the lotion left and is sad to use it up. :

Even though it’s been a looong time, I am still mourning the departure of the Grapefruit shower gel and body spray, so I feel your pain.

Amazon sells their stuff and I often have to find my shampoo on Amazon, because BBW sells it sometimes. It's very annoying. I don't go into their stores, because at mine you are stalked by the associates. It's not their fault. The company probably mandates that, but it's super irritating. Greet me as I walk in and if I need help I'll ask.

There was a scent I like called Twilight something or another. I posted on FB about it and they actually answered me and sent me a link to it. I looked everywhere for it on their website and couldn't find it.. but it was still there. I would poke around and see if you can find it. Then ask on their FB page.. they maybe able to help.

Many of their products are seasonal or one time only. Sometimes they bring back discontinued scents (usually online only) for a very limited time. The body wash I like was switched last year, to seasonal (fall months) instead of year round. I buy it when it is "buy 3-get 3 free". The mini hand cream I like is seasonal (summer months). I save my Christmas and Birthday gift cards until summer and fall, and stock up for the year. That is why, if you peek in my storage closet....I appear to be a body wash and and hand cream hoarder.  |

That’s frustrating. I know all my favorites seem to be seasonal. I didn’t realize so many fragrances were limited. It’s so disappointing when you find one you like and then it’s sold out.

I find the lotion and body spray to be too much fragrance at the same time. Maybe an unscented lotion is a good idea.

Thanks to the Peas who suggested Ebay! Found it there for about the same price with free shipping!
I just love when the Peas have solutions or suggestions for most of life's problems, even small first world ones like mine.
Peas Rock! (As always)

I do miss their Pearberry body wash they had years ago. It was nice and refreshing.

Yay for the Peas! Also, you should put your update in the original post because "bottom of the thread" goes away as soon as more people post.  |
