Over the years, I found that SAS is more exciting to those who don't shop as frequently as we do throughout the year. Since I didn't get back-ups throughout the season & I had three 20% off coupons I focused my shopping on repurchases that I can sit back & enjoy without having to burn & analyze 😂. I scored all of my candles for $8 or less on the first day so SAS is a wrap for me lol. Fall/Winter candle shopping will be different for me with BBW due to all of the constant repackage/renamed/remixed candles. I'm so glad you picked up Book Loft!
Exactly ❤all my candles was around $8. That price allowed me to get the backups of things I liked and then try the new. I’m just the oddball in this community I guess
I’m loving the SAS it’s really good. Unfortunately you are not feeling it because you shop ALL MONTH so off course you will feel underwhelmed. I use to shop all the time. I had some home improvement to do so I was on a LOW BUY. So everything seems so new and IM EXCITED try not shopping so often and you’ll get excited again lololol. Love the channel ❤️❤️
I found it hilarious that all you bought was the Vacation Vibes car freshener on your first trip. Your realistic and sarcastic approach while being honest was fantastic.
LOVE your videos! You’re articulate, intelligent, knowledgeable, and have a great sense of humor. You and Ken are the best BBW candle reviewers on RUclips. The others add very little value. Keep up the good work!
Iced Pineapple, Strawberries & Champagne and Sweet Pea were totally my staple scents in my teens. My college roommate wore Country Apple all the time. My mom loved Juniper Breeze and Moonlight Path which I loved as I got older. Memories💙
I liked warm vanilla sugar in the 90s. I agree the SAS sale was not so great. I was not very enthusiastic about any of the SAS candles, and the two I tried were very light on burning. It is so fun watching your videos, and you have great reviews. Thank you!
I think your assessment of Tropidelic's popularity is spot on. It ended up being way more successful than initially seemed it would be. I was slow to come around to it, but it really is so gorgeous in candle and body care I can see why it was received so well. Hopefully that means it'll come back at some point!
Love the video Sarita! I was gonna pass on the blends but now you have me curious about the in the stars one😂i like in the stars but run from anything baccarat smelling! I did like first sight and didn’t realize it was a dupe. Looks like you’re set for scent beads for awhile 😂hope you enjoy
Hey ! I agree with U.. SAS this year is SAD !!! I only got 2 of the 3 wick candles , Ocean & Vanilla Bean mix & Vanilla Cloud.. 2 Wallflower fragrances, Market Peach & Moonlight Path.. None of the body care, not impressed with any of the new fragrances 🙁.. Hand soaps are pretty much the same old stuff.
As a newer shopper at BBW, I was left disappointed with SAS, in more ways than one. Here in Canada, the prices went up on day 3. I did pick up a few back-up candles and Ocean Driftwood that I’d been interested in. And on the Fall and Christmas table, I picked up a Hanukkah and Pistachio Toasted Vanilla. I also picked up a couple of foaming handsoaps. That’s it. I was underwhelmed.😕 I don’t feel that you are too negative in your reviews and opinions; your detailed analyses, animated delivery, fair critiques, and honest opinions make for a very enjoyable and comfortable time spent watching.✌
Thank you SO much for sharing your haul and general SAS thoughts. I really appreciate it. I especially am grateful for your take on Velvet Amber Woods vs First Sight. I am a huge fan of the latter and am glad to know that I don’t need the former, as well. Love your channel! Almost to 1K, woohoo! 🥰🎉
SAS was super underwhelming for me this year too. I went on the first day at the mall and I left with two pocket back holders and 2 pocket backs 😂 literally the least I’ve ever spent. They did have a couple fresh balsam 75% off 3 wicks but I passed on though even though I love that scent I’m trying to bring my collection down in size.
(sigh), yeah. You’re right; SAS is very underwhelming this year. With the current return policy, we will not be finding the “hidden gems” (older candles) like we used to.
Thank you ! Yes,those SAS candles and body mists did go Up by two dollars. So what have we got to look forward to? Look I just found this island Margarita I bought on candle day. It smells like limeade. Now with July 4th upon us soon why not some mixed drink mash -ups. Cherry limeade or strawberry margarita ? Something with scent, a little rum. 3 weeks to to look forward to ,but only 3 days was that the sale ! 🤷 Some of that stuff has to be shipped ,most of it near me. Not paying for shipping for the unsmellables & miss mashes. Are they trying to get rid of old candles?Was old body mist going expired soon? 😢
I'm not feeling the sale at the moment . I did find some 75%off candles but many things I have issues with . Right now I'm kinda done until wallflowers and soaps drop to 75% still have my 10 off 40 and a 50 gift card. Blend candles I'm tired of they are always a pass for me. Used my 20% off the1st day
Thank you for the reminder; I've been too busy with 2 jobs to even stop by the mall but will make an effort today. If there's nothing there, I'll concur with the general feeling this year that they didn't really hit it with this SAS. I am hoping to find some of the stuff that came out in January - all those really pretty botanical labels that I completely missed in Winter - but it sounds like I'm not going to find much of that!
I was hoping against hope that the Fall Forest candle from last year would show up online for 75% off. It was not to be, sadly, and i feel like we're never seeing that candle again. I only bought a few 75% off Christmas candles but that's it. I'm right there with you on the "going into the store with a basket and leaving with only two car fragrance refills" mood. lol
I was not a fan of the old Bath and body Works fragrances such as Sunripe and raspberries and country apple or moonlight path. I love in the stars but I smelled this mash up candle and would hit me in the face was the Honeycrisp apple so I really found it way too strong in this candle and there was not very much in the stars so I passed on it. I did smell the ocean one with vanillaAnd I did like it but just not enough to purchase it. Thanks for the video they are always interesting
Girl, I bought three of the coconut milkshakes and oh my God you aren’t kidding. I could barely smell it like at all!!! why do they do that? Shit just don’t release it at all lol I just gave them away. I tried burning it twice.
Oooh, have you tried Method laundry detergent? If you love plant based, herbal leaning scents in laundry , maybe you will like method sage laundry line. That one is a beautiful scent and will definitely not cause any allergies
I just got my 4 candles to hold me over until the fall releases lol. I had a $10 off $40 coupon, so I used that. My store didn’t have any 75% off candles so I couldn’t check them out. I just got the Plumeria+Sugared Lemon Zest, In the Stars+Honeycrisp Apple, Watermelon Lemonade, and Bergamot and Birch. I LOVE In the Stars+Honeycrisp Apple. Definitely gives fall vibes with the spicy apple.
My store only had about 20-75% off candles..bought Autumn (The Perfect Autumn) the only fall candle they had...wallflower plug in 50% and FCP candle (10.95)...was irritated they didn't have more 10.95 candles...used my 20%...and that's all I got...enjoying my stash in my closet 😂...burning "Waikiki Beach Coconut"🌴

Yup - I use SAS to get backups and new-to-me candles I have been hemming and hawing over for at a great price.
Hey Sarita! Thank you for always being honest and authentically you!! Love your channel and content so much 🤍

Haha! Yes I completely understand! That said, for those that haven’t been in store in a while, the bar is suuuuper low 😉

When Main Street bakery goes away, I hope it comes back again. ☹️
I looooove that one. I’m stocking up at $10.95
A lot of people loved it!!

Yeah if I had a nickel for every time I’ve overheard someone in the store ask for it!
I didn’t like any of the mashup candles this year maybe I’ll try smelling again in a week
Love the video Sarita! I was gonna pass on the blends but now you have me curious about the in the stars one😂i like in the stars but run from anything baccarat smelling! I did like first sight and didn’t realize it was a dupe. Looks like you’re set for scent beads for awhile 😂hope you enjoy

Moonlight Path and Plumeria was my jam in Highschool🤭😅😊

Well your really lucked out with those holiday candles! Those are nice and most stores here do not have them 😍
Yes a banoffee mashup wouldve been amazing!! I was a moonlight path girly too back in the day! 😊
Yay! I think Moonlight Path + Vanilla Bean would’ve been much nicer than the Ocean one 😉
Thank you SO much for sharing your haul and general SAS thoughts. I really appreciate it. I especially am grateful for your take on Velvet Amber Woods vs First Sight. I am a huge fan of the latter and am glad to know that I don’t need the former, as well. Love your channel! Almost to 1K, woohoo! 🥰🎉
I love your content !!! So glad I found you ! New subbie !
Yay!!!
Good morning thank you soo much for letting us the difference 😮
SAS was super underwhelming for me this year too. I went on the first day at the mall and I left with two pocket back holders and 2 pocket backs 😂 literally the least I’ve ever spent. They did have a couple fresh balsam 75% off 3 wicks but I passed on though even though I love that scent I’m trying to bring my collection down in size.
Yeah there were a lot of tree candles floating around, but the packaging wasn’t great, and honestly, they will 💯 be back in the fall 🤷🏻♀️
Juniper breeze is my very favorite ever from bath and body works. Every once in a while they bring it back but not often
Ahhhh! I forgot Juniper Breeze!! Yeah that was definitely in the top-tier in the 90s.
But when they do bring it back it doesn’t smell the same 🤷🏻♀️
I agreed with you on everything you said 🤔
(sigh), yeah. You’re right; SAS is very underwhelming this year. With the current return policy, we will not be finding the “hidden gems” (older candles) like we used to.
Oh I hadn’t even put those two together! 🤯🤯
Thank you ! Yes,those SAS candles and body mists did go Up by two dollars. So what have we got to look forward to?
Look I just found this island Margarita I bought on candle day. It smells like limeade. Now with July 4th upon us soon why not some mixed drink mash -ups. Cherry limeade or strawberry margarita ?

Not paying for shipping for the unsmellables & miss mashes. Are they trying to get rid of old candles?Was old body mist going expired soon? 😢
Yeah if you like Kool-Aid summer fruits, you are probably the happiest of everyone right now! BBW did that genre pretty strong this sale 😂
I'm not feeling the sale at the moment . I did find some 75%off candles but many things I have issues with . Right now I'm kinda done until wallflowers and soaps drop to 75% still have my 10 off 40 and a 50 gift card. Blend candles I'm tired of they are always a pass for me. Used my 20% off the1st day
Yeah I’m hoping the general body care will go to 75% but it’ll probably be a while before that happens 😤

If there's nothing there, I'll concur with the general feeling this year that they didn't really hit it with this SAS.

Actually Trader Joe’s does actually does have the Brazilian Nut products in the stores right now. They have the body butter, body washes and scrubs.
Whaaaaaat 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 thank you so much!! I’m going tomorrow!
I was hoping against hope that the Fall Forest candle from last year would show up online for 75% off. It was not to be, sadly, and i feel like we're never seeing that candle again.

Fall Forest!!!! Yes I found ONE at an outlet during SAS in January. I really hope it comes back, if not this year, at least in years to come 🌲
These BBW mash ups are a sad hot mess imo 😂
I was not a fan of the old Bath and body Works fragrances such as Sunripe and raspberries and country apple or moonlight path. I love in the stars but I smelled this mash up candle and would hit me in the face was the Honeycrisp apple so I really found it way too strong in this candle and there was not very much in the stars so I passed on it. I did smell the ocean one with vanillaAnd I did like it but just not enough to purchase it. Thanks for the video they are always interesting
I get it! I’ve definitely outgrown most of those OG 90’s fragrances 😉
Girl, I bought three of the coconut milkshakes and oh my God you aren’t kidding. I could barely smell it like at all!!! why do they do that? Shit just don’t release it at all lol I just gave them away. I tried burning it twice.
Yeah crazy weak. Frankly all the “made for SAS candles” were pretty shitty
Oooh, have you tried Method laundry detergent? If you love plant based, herbal leaning scents in laundry , maybe you will like method sage laundry line. That one is a beautiful scent and will definitely not cause any allergies
I just got my 4 candles to hold me over until the fall releases lol. I had a $10 off $40 coupon, so I used that. My store didn’t have any 75% off candles so I couldn’t check them out.

I LOVE In the Stars+Honeycrisp Apple. Definitely gives fall vibes with the spicy apple.
Yeah I’m super surprised it wasn’t the clear favorite of everyone!
I have the blend of rose water & ivy + mahogany teakwood, comparing to the picture you included of mahogany rose notes, it's 100% the same notes
Yeah that’s what I thought 😉
I don’t know why they took Mango Mandarin off the trajectory & kept JCB. 😅
My store only had about 20-75% off candles..bought Autumn (The Perfect Autumn) the only fall candle they had...wallflower plug in 50% and FCP candle (10.95)...was irritated they didn't have more 10.95 candles...used my 20%...and that's all I got...enjoying my stash in my closet 😂...burning "Waikiki Beach Coconut"🌴
You’re lucky to have gotten Perfect Autumn! I would kill for Perfect Winter ❄️
Theu changed jcb when they changed the packaging it doesnt smell the same worse to me i liked the old formula....u might like the smell now
How is it different?
Japanese cherry blossom 😖😏😬
Totally agree! Never got the hype. At my store SAS is red bins full of sticky bottles of leftover soap for 50% off 😑 Bring on Fall previews! 🍁
Two weeks!
Don't forget clementine from back in the day😅🍊
Hm I’m not sure I remember that one!
