Bath & Body Works Fall 2019 Warm Apple Pie Candle Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Today I am burning Warm Apple Pie from the Bath & Body Works Fall 2019 candle collection and it’s pretty darn good!

The notes in the Warm Apple Pie Candle are Baked Granny Smith Apple, Melted Brown Sugar, Flaky Homemade Crust.

Warm Apple Pie has an amazing deep red wax and the throw is about a medium. After an hour of burning Warm Apple Pie my kitchen had a nice apple pie scent that was sweet and crusty. Warm Apple Pie does not have a cinnamon or vanilla scent, it’s more sweet, gooey, toasty, appley goodness!

Bath & Body Works Fall Foaming Hand Sanitizer Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Last year Bath & Body Works came out with the Foaming Hand Sanitizer and I love them! I prefer the foam over the Pocket-Bac Gel. I find the foam to be much more moisturizing on my hands and I love the scents!

I picked up the following Fall and Halloween Foaming Hand Sanitizer scents:

  • Pumpkin Cupcake (baked pumpkin, whipped vanilla frosting & golden honey)
  • Afternoon Apple Picking (crisp apple, succulent pear & cinnamon)
  • Purrfect Pumpkin (Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin)
  • Vampire Blood (red berries, night blooming jasmine & petrifying plum)

The Fall & Halloween Foaming Hand Sanitizers also come in:

  • Crisp Morning Air (fresh pine, juniper & juicy pear)
  • Ghoul Friend (dark strawberries, ghostly peony & spine chilling citrus)

Here is what the foam looks like! It’s super smooth and creamy! A small dab is all you need. I always keep one in my purse and they last about 2 weeks with 3 people using it almost every day.

This soap is so luxurious and is Made in Portugal. The bars are huge and are great for showering and hand soap.

I went back to Home Goods yesterday to get more and it was sold out so I plan on hitting TJMaxx and Marshal’s to see if I can find more.

Bath & Body Works NEW Steam-Distilled Collection – Summer 2018

Queen of the Girl Geeks

This week I picked up the scents in the Bath & Body Works In Our Garden NEW Steam-Distilled Collection for Summer 2018. The packaging on this set is so pretty too.

What is steam distillation? It’s a delicate, lengthy process we use to extract pure fragrance oils & create nature’s softest & airiest floral fragrances. Flower petals + steam = delicate fragrance!

The new scents are:

Chamomile & Honey –  Steam-distilled natural chamomile oil, fresh bergamot, sweet honeysuckle & sheer musk.

Pink Magnolia –  Steam-distilled natural magnolia oil, jasmine petals, wild orchid & sheer musk,

Wild Rose & Apple – Steam-distilled natural rose oil, pink peony, apple blossom & soft musk.

These scents are amazing! I think the Wild Rose & Apple is my favorite. They come in the Fine Fragrance Mist, Shower Gel, Body Lotion, Body Cream, Body Scrub andMousse to Oil (I demo this in my video).

Bath & Body Works Halloween Wicked Apple Shimmer Fizz Body Lotion

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Oh my gosh! The new Bath & Body Works Halloween Wicked Apple Shimmer Fizz Body is like nothing I have ever seen before…and it’s so cool — literally.

This “potion” sprays out fast like Spider-Man’s web, crackles like fireworks and is as cold as the dungeons at Hogwarts. This is some seriously powerful stuff.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got it but here’s the scoop. It sprayed out kind of like a bubbly, fizzy foam then turned my hand ice cold as it was crackling. Once the bubbles subside it turns into a soft shimmery lotion. I love the light sparkles for Halloween.

The scent is forbidden apple, black rose & haunted cinnamon woods which is amazing!

This is such a fun product for Halloween and I am really loving it now.

Bath & Body Works Fall 2017 Champagne Apple & Honey Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I am so excited that Bath & Body Works is now selling their Fall 2017 line up. They have 5 scents (3 are new and 2 are from last year…I think). First up on my list to review is the Champagne Apple & Honey.

ah.jpg

What’s to love?

Champagne Apple & Honey has a blend of Pink Lady Apple, Sparkling Champagne & Jasmine Honey and the formula is made with pure honey.

To me this one smells pretty much like straight on fall apple with a hint of sugar. The Jasmine Honey is light and this is not a floral scent. I love that Bath & Body Works has such authentic apple scents.

Champagne Apple & Honey so far comes in Body Cream, Fine Fragrance Mist, Shower Gel and my new favorite the Whipped Body Butter. As you can see in the photo above the Whipped Body Butter packaging is so cute with a pop-up apple cut-out on the front. These are going to make great gifts!

Bring on Fall!

I did a big Bath & Body Works Fall haul today and created a YouTube video so do take a look!

Bath & Body Works Country Apple Collection

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I headed back to the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale today and I picked up 3 items from the 90’s throwback Country Apple because it smells so good, just like fresh apples.

ca

My Bath & Body Works had Country Apple in the Fine Fragrance Mist, Body Lotion, Ultra Shea Body Cream and Shower Gel (not pictured).

The scent has McIntosh Apple, Apple Blossom, Fresh Muguet, Sheer Sunlight, Orchard Woods which is basically all apple! It reminds me a bit of the Yankee Candle McIntosh scent and it’s really fresh.

I’m not sure when Bath & Body Works is getting this scent back so I wanted to stock up and for about $3 each I feel like I got a steal!

Today 6/10 you can get 20% OFF $25 Code: STOCKUP

Also be sure to check out my Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Part 2 video!

Fall 2016 Bath & Body Works Foaming Soap Haul!

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Ah, the smell of Bath & Body Works in the Fall. I realize that it’s only July but B&BW (like all retail) is rolling out their Fall 2016 line and I’m pretty excited. The Fall scents are my absolute favorite. Here’s what I found in the foaming soaps.

bbw.jpg

First I have to say that I love the foaming style soap. Washes clean and leave a great scent. I tend to only like the Fall type scents, floral not so much.

Today I got…

Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin – This one is a but stronger and but I can’t smell straight cinnamon, to me it’s like spicy pumpkin pie.

Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte – I think this is my favorite of the haul. I tend to like anything with pumpkin and this one has a light pumpkin scent with lots of sweet latte which I assume is the marshmallow mixed in.

These are part of the fruit line, I love the matching colored pumps.

Honeycrisp Apple – I love anything apple and this Honeycrisp Apple is going in the kitchen today.

Black Cherry Merlot – This one is on the super strong side. It’s all cherry and smells wonderful.

Sparkling Pear Riesling – This one is a lighter scent of juicy pairs. Another great kitchen scent.
