I sometimes use my mists as air fresheners. I'll use them in my home or even mist my car with whatever I'm in the mood for. That can really speed up the process of finishing them up, plus I thoroughly enjoy it.
I use my body mists in my oil diffuser ! One in particular from B&BW, Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, which is too strong to wear on my body, but perfect as room freshener. 🙌👌😍
@@Karinapirate So true! Perfumes for me are for more special occasions or for when I want to smell a lil stronger. Body mists are for my everyday indulgence. My dad can't handle me using perfumes (even if I just do 3 sprays) coz of his allergies. But, he can tolerate me using body mists no matter how much I spray it on myself.
@@IyaLovesLife I totally agree! I love spraying and over spraying (lol) throughout the day, I feel like I am refreshing my mind and "resetting" my scent. ❣️
Tip 8- dont buy backups just because theyre on sale HIT ME HARD. i will never buy more than 2 scents for SAS just because its limited edition I bought 6 Boardwalk Taffy sprays from last Bath and Body Summer SAS and I regret it so much 😅😅 Like i have so many other sprays i dont even think ill get through 1 Boardwalk Taffy 😅😅
Yesss I always struggle with that especially when they’re so cheap! When I shop in general I try to give myself 24 hours to think about it so when I’m at a store I’ll take a picture of it so mentally I feel like it’s saved somewhere and if I can’t stop thinking about it I’ll buy it. But it’s hard when you don’t know if a scent will come back!
Same! I have 7 boardwalk taffy sprays!! Who needs that many unless I wore it every single day. I’ve almost done the same with pure wonder, I have 5 *full* sets plus a few mini perfume, body butter and a shimmer spray 😅
Have you thought about exchanging your extra product for new scents? Or selling them on Mercari? I hate the feeling of scarcity of not knowing if your favorite scents will come back..I tell myself if I am desperate I can always buy it off Mercari. Lol. I am sticking to no more than 2 backups on scents that I totally can not live without. If I finish those sets and still am obsessed with it, I'll get it on Mercari. ❣️
@@diana_prince_1 I pulled a few of my extras out, but I need to pull more. As I watch reviews, I see that boardwalk taffy is basically a repackage with the new collection, so I have these big numbers when I didn’t need to do that at all. You make a good point, there’s always Mercari, I need to stop the fomo 😊
@@beckyh8041 I get it! The FOMO is real. 😭 Bath and Body Works has a pretty genius marketing strategy, it gets us to overbuy. I also keep telling myself, there is always going to be a new favorite to discover. They come up with new stuff (or even repackages like you said with Boardwalk Taffy) all the time. Take care!
Learn your scent profile. Buy fragrances you know you’ll enjoy based on your favorite scent notes. If there’s a fragrance you don’t like, try layering it with fragrances that have a particular scent note they have in common. You might change your mind and end up loving it. I don’t believe in selling my products or giving them away. I worked hard for them and they mean something to me. I’d rather use them up and not repurchase them.
I really thought I was the only person who needed to use things up lol. I'm obsessed with it and it's such a relief when it's empty and I can throw it away!! Like a snake shedding it's old skin lol.
It's my third year of collecting, and what I found works best is learning your body chemistry. The first year I started collecting I went absolute ham on all the new scents and sales. Looking back on them now, I will never purchase them again, and that's perfectly okay. Learn what scent notes you're not a fan of. While you have fun exploring have a scent like a "comfort scent" mine is almond blossom and I only wear it when I don't know what to wear, and I adore it every time. Using them as a light air freshener, and a car mist works too. I spray mine on my seat covers and it lasts a few days. (: Also definitely agree with the shower tip, but for me it's lotion. Hope this helped beginners. Much love, and great video!
We definitely think alike! I get so overwhelmed with my collection, I want to use stuff up as fast as I can, my only worry is them going bad before I start using them. A Victoria’s Secret body mist lasts around 2 months for me, I have 6 at the moment so I’m good for the whole year 😂 I stopped buying lotion at all because I still have lotions from 2005/2010 that I never ended up using and I just can’t get rid of them because these scents are never coming back 😭
I pair my fragrance mists with my perfumes most days and that’s been fun coming up with new fragrances ❤️I only have back ups of a few BBW body mists: Pink Velvet Cupcake, Christmas Cookies, Raspberry Jam Donut and Coconut Cream Pie.
I love Bath and Body Works and am always using something and trying new scents. That being said, sometimes I get bored with a scent, or it doesn’t smell good on me. So I bring that stuff to the shared restroom at work. Other people get to enjoy it and I’m not wasting anything. 😊
Love your videos!! I keep most of my products in a bin that has a lid on it! This causes me to reach for the things I have sitting on my shelf first. I can still open the bin and smell around, but it helps me to be more focused on the products I want to use up
Great tips! Whatever I don’t use, I give to my mom or sisters. I usually give duplicates to the women shelters. I’m on a very low buy this year because my collection is getting overwhelming 😆
I definitely like your tip about layering, I’ve been doing it a little different. I’ll shower at night, lotion up, spray a little and then in the morning before heading out I’ll refresh my lotion and spray down (while also spraying through the day). I have sensitive skin so I don’t want to overload my skin but giving it a break in between applying lotion does help and I’m able yo use my products naturally.
So many good tips!!! I’ve found myself avoiding my favorites, but then I go to use it and it’s going bad. Fomo gets me, but this year I’m going to use the things I have and try to remember that there will be more. I wrote a list with reminders when I think I want to shop: do I need more? Do I want to throw it away because it went bad? Do I have room for it ? I might have to pull this list out often 😅
Yess I honestly find that when I use things that were my favorite, about halfway I get my satisfaction from the scent and I don’t feel the need to stock up on it. But my scent moods change so quickly I really started trying to use what I like as soon as I like it because who knows how I’ll feel in a few months or a year.
I definitely feel like you have to use what you like in the moments you like it, I had that happen with a few scents that I was OBSESSED WITH, stocked up on it, didn’t use it for a while, and then when I came back to it, I didn’t like it the same way I did when I first purchased it. So now, I’m like I like this scent but will I really be in love with it next time around and if I am more than likely bath and body works will put it out again or something very very similar, so I try not to stock up on stuff I won’t be using right away, and I try to put a limit on what I pick up when I do stock up. Edit: I made this comment before finishing the video and hearing you say the exact same thing. Lol
I have assigned space for my products. If it’s full and I want to purchase, I gift something away or use something up to make space. I’m not going beyond the space I have allocated.
I love your tips!, I am doing some of those already. ☺️ ❣️What I have been doing is starting with one set of the matching shower gel, body cream, body butter, and lotion. I'm currently using Bonfire Bash. I have my products in a bin in my bathroom so every time I shower everything is handy. I start off with shower gel. Then I towel dry, and use a bit of body oil as a base for all my other products to stick to. I use the spray very liberally all over, then cream or lotion, then more spray and then i spray my clothes! 🤪 I will use the body butter on my feet after the shower and before bedtime. Also, each time I'm I use the bathroom after I wash my hands, I follow up with lotion or cream on my hands, and I refresh my scent and spritz some fine fragrance mist spray too. I will also give myself a spritz before bed with this scent bc I find it soothing and comforting smelling it as I fall asleep. I will also use the hand lotion right before bed as well.. This routine has been working wonderfully and it's nice to see progress of my products being used up. I also love the feeling of pampering myself throughout the day. ☺️ Thanks for the video. 💕
First of all, I’m absolutely getting spring vibes. 🌸💐 Second, omg I am absolutely the same way where I try to save the best for last with everything. Even on my plate I save all the carbs/best food for last 😁
Same, I relate to this so much. I bought lovely dreamer on mercari and backed it up so much since I missed out on getting it during SAS, then I wasn’t using it, I had to tell myself that I paid all this money to get it, it’s going to go bad before I even touch it, (just like the best food will get cold while you wait to eat it) so now I try and use it in rotation with my other products, not every day because I don’t want to get sick of it but often enough so I can still use it up.
This year I bought way more sprays then anything else. I love mixing my scents. I am currently using sunshine mimosa lotion with grapefruit frose spray and gingham mini lotion. I am also using 1,000 xmas wishes lotion and spray and also using a scent less lotion on my feet. I also use a bunch of scents I like but don't love on my legs and feet.
I do the same with body creams and lotions to moisturize my feet. If I’m not in love with a scent I will lather my feet up with it lol works perfectly!
I agree with all of your tips and do a lot of them already. You are so right about going ahead and using the scents you are in love with. Last year when I got Boardwalk Taffy I loved it so much and used it like crazy and was able to go through a lot of it(I bought a lot of back ups 😂) A lot of times I will change scents mid day if I’m wearing a light scent to begin with and I always use a different shower gel, lotion/cream and mist at bedtime. Great tips Karina 😊
Hola hun. Thanks for the tips. For me, I start to layer my body mist and perfumes and got into the business of selling Victoria's secret and bath and body works. Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲. I know Electric Beach and the one you said is similar to Electric Beach.
Fantastic tips! Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🌹 I use fragrances and body mists to bed at nighttime to use them up. I also spray my bedsheets with scents that I love, but have poor performance and longevity on my skin. 😉😍
I recognise so many of the points you said in me. I’ll force myself to use a scent I think is ‘meh’ around the house …but no more I’m gonna sell it on 😏 and also not using my loved perfumes then sometimes going back to it & my love for it has kinda decreased haha 🤦♀️
Every time I use a spray after the shower my skin has a burning sensation. I have no clue why that is. I have to wait about 20-30 minutes then I am all good.
I sometimes use my mists as air fresheners. I'll use them in my home or even mist my car with whatever I'm in the mood for. That can really speed up the process of finishing them up, plus I thoroughly enjoy it.
Yesss I find keeping products in different rooms too will make me use them more, or always having a lotion in the car/purse etc.
I use my body mists in my oil diffuser ! One in particular from B&BW, Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, which is too strong to wear on my body, but perfect as room freshener. 🙌👌😍
I honestly now prefer body mists over perfumes coz it's so much fun to spray over and over again!
Yessss I feel the same way! Everyone thinks you graduate to perfumes at some point but they’re two different things and two different types of fun 😂

Tip: spray a mist in your shower before you go in so you can smell it while taking a shower.
Yesss that’s a great one!!!
love this! Just like you, I get as much pleasure using up as I do purchase.

yeah, good ideas I need to use a lot of my older scents up first for real
I love your tips! 💕 I will try the misting after shower for sure I think that’s a smart way to keep your fragrance longer too ❤️😍

Just saw it thanks for the heads up! I’m wondering if they’ll add a 4th scent
Apparently there’s new pink ones too!

Great video!💖💖💖💖
Great video!!
Every time I use a spray after the shower my skin has a burning sensation. I have no clue why that is. I have to wait about 20-30 minutes then I am all good.
Maybe because it has alcohol and your pores are open it stings? I feel like that’s happened to me before too, I wonder why
