Back in 2007 my friends and I went to Vegas and we went shopping at a B&BW store. I immediately fell in love and bought about $200 worth of lotions and bath gels, which is something I'd never done before. I wanted the stores to come to Canada. I started writing letters, even made a Facebook group.
Well I'd like to think I had a small part in B&BW coming to Canada. This was the 3rd location (I believe) in Edmonton, right in South Common. I actually prefer this one to the WEM one, which I find really crowded. I can't speak for Kingsway because I haven't been to it yet. As well I don't find the salespeople here to be too pushy.
B&BW sells bath and body products, lotions, shower gels, bubble bath, hand soaps, body mist, lip gloss, shampoos, candles, air freshners, etc. Unless you have an allergy to fragrances there's bound to be a scent you'll like. Be warned about the seasonal fragrances though as sometimes those are just out for the season and then phased out. I got addicted to the Fresh Pineapple scent that had a few years back, my favourite scene ever. But now, aside from the occasional hand soap, they haven't made any new produtcs with it. RIP Fresh Pineapple. I also love the CO Bigelow lipglosses, they're minty, tingly and now the only lip gloss I'll use.
B&BW be a little pricey, moreso than if you were to go to a drugstore and find a similar. But B&BW always seems to have these sales, or buy 4 get 1 free type of deals. That's where things get addicting. You think, "I'm just gonna buy these two things." Then you get up to the counter and the salesperson says, "if you buy one more thing you get another thing for free." Suddenly your dashing off to find two more products to buy. Whenever I come in the store, even just to look, I end up spending at least $50. Beware of the impulse items, the pocket sized lotions, and hand sanitizers. They get me every time. read more
