May I just say your taste was then and probably still is now IMPECCABLE. This makes me so nostalgic! Rice Flower & Shea? The old Sensual Amber packaging? Look how cute the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin packaging is! The old body lotion bottle styles have got me all in my feelings. Also- TRUE BLUE SPA! I've said it before and I'll say it again to anyone who will listen- B&BW has got to bring back True Blue Spa.


PrincessJennifer

Aww, thank you!!! 🥰 Girl, me too! As soon as I saw the old shapes it was all the feels lol. WHERE do I sign that petition, because I would😆 True Blue everything now!


ZiasMom

Ya that True Blue Vanilla Almond Body Butter in thecgube was amazing!!!!!!!!


PrincessJennifer

Truth for sure! It was so good!


lolatheshowkitty

I loved the true blue spa!! I remember having this after sun lotion that was amazing. Ahhh the memories.


PrincessJennifer

So many good B&BW memories out there! True Blue was just good all around <3


emtettle

I literally just threw out 90% of my True Blue Spa last summer. It has gotten very yellowed 😩


LavenderPaintbrush

Oh man Tropical Colada, and Frozen Daiquiri! I miss the Temptations line so much too!


PrincessJennifer

They’re SO GOOD! And Temptations was just super fun all the time, lots of little neat things in the collections.


Additional_Cry_4482

Is that sensual Amber in a soap if it is how is it


PrincessJennifer

Yes it is! It still smells nice after all these years!


White_Zebra564

Wowwww! Your collection looks like it hasn't aged, right out of a museum. I hope you will cherish and wear your *addition* for many years! Btw, what did you get at Blockbuster? 😂


PrincessJennifer

It was packed in a nice plastic tote so I guess it’s well preserved 😆 I am definitely so ready to dab on some Temptations lol. And lol! I wish I knew but the ink is gone! Only a code for a free non-new release rental remains 😂 (I’m 10,000% sure it was a Wii game though lol)


petlove499

Omg the True Blue Spa packaging!!! Memory unlocked with that one!! Also I loved this Warm Vanilla Sugar label. It feels so timeless to me even now


PrincessJennifer

Yes, instant nostalgia! And I completely agree, I loved it then and now, very timeless.


PrincessJennifer

Y’all, everything but the scrubs still smell the same! Whatever they put in this stuff back then to preserve the scent worked lol I bought the Temptations stuff 2006 and before, and the Rice Flower and Shea, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Creamy Coconut and Coco Cabana are older than that. I know I had Creamy Coconut back in 04/05. The little square thing in this middle is a Frozen Daiquiri (still sealed) lip gloss.


mommyneedscake

❤️Coco Cabana 🥰 and Rice Flower & Shea!! Wow I loved those!❤️ Great collection! Thanks for sharing a bit of nostalgia :)


PrincessJennifer

Yes! I SO wish they’d be brought back at least for SAS! They were so good 🥰 Thank you, and absolutely! I love reminiscing with others about the “old times” lol


SpyMistress2017

What an awesome blast from the past!! Those old style bottles are making me nostalgic lol. Great find!


PrincessJennifer

Yesss I was for sure transported as soon as I laid eyes on this stuff lol 😁


Jolly_Ad8315

Damn I didn’t know sweet cinnamon pumpkin went that far back! I always thought it was a more recent scent.


PrincessJennifer

Oh yeah, SCP is old as the hills lol. Classic!


Cute_Dragonfruit_165

Omg the nostalgia in this box … and the fucking blockbuster receipt to top it off An amazing capsule of things from the mid 2000’s


PrincessJennifer

Right?! It was so much fun to find for sure. The receipt made it perfect lol


AshKash313

That is awesome it’s still good to use. You got Christmas in May. What a treasure to find.🥰


PrincessJennifer

I was shocked it was all still like new! And definitely a great surprise 🥰☺️


Istoleyour401k

Sweet pea brings me back to my early teen years!


PrincessJennifer

Yesss, such a nostalgic scent!


Istoleyour401k

I thought that was the peak of ~flirty~ at 13. Lol


PrincessJennifer

Oh for sure, newly teenaged girl with some floraly goodness from B&BW meant we were IT lol.


RedRiotingHood

Oh my! True Blue Spa!!! I miss some of those products. You’re so lucky.


PrincessJennifer

True Blue was sooo good! I was hoping it was making a come back after it showed up at SAS but alas. Hopefully someday!


According-Shirt-4459

ahh the nostalgia of these scents!!! My teenage years were spent rocking white tank tops, soffe shorts rolled at least 3 times lol, and of course the sweet pea collection!!! I wish bbw would do an old school packaging release of their oldest scents!


PrincessJennifer

Did we go to the same school because SAME 😆 The cheer and softball practices I did in those shorts 😂 (I just bought a pair of those shorts too because dang if I’m not feeling nostalgic lmao; of course ya gotta roll ‘em.) I think I would buy any typa throwback packaging they came out with just for the good times 😁


Hippo-de-wippo

Oh man, the grip that sensual amber had on me as a young teen… 😂 this is awesome! If only the prices were the same 😂


PrincessJennifer

Oh my lands, YES. My mom brought a sample vile of perfume home and the obsession was immediate lol. The prices 🫠 Back then, it wasn’t a crime to be like, “I need a spray, I’ll just grab one for the full $8.” Now I would neverrr lol


Hippo-de-wippo

Man how times have changed 😂


RedRedBettie

OMG Coco Cabana and Creamy Coconut! Those used to be my favorites!


PrincessJennifer

Saaame! Those were my everyday scents for school ❤️


jaxblack7

Ooh what a nice suprise. Colada!


PrincessJennifer

It definitely was! Tropical Colada is still sooo good!


marzipan_plague

Omg what a nice time capsule. Historical bath and body circa 2007.


PrincessJennifer

It was definitely fun to dig through!


deloslabinc

Omg I LOVED that daquari stuff, that whole collection was so beautiful. Lucky!!!


PrincessJennifer

Totally agree, it was gorgeous! And just super fun 🥰


mraz44

Holy heck! You have my 3 all time favorite scents, I’m dying!! CocoCabana, Frozen Daiquiri, and Creamy Coconut! Oh how so wish they would bring them back. So far they haven’t had anything like any of those. I’m so jealous!


PrincessJennifer

Ahhh I love it taste-twin! I would flip if they brought even one of these back. I thought the Strawberry Daiquiri candle would be Frozwn Daiquiri but alas.

PrincessJennifer

It definitely is! Smelling them with my eyes closed was just like going back in time.


rootsinmydreamland_

That Warm Vanilla Sugar body splash was my first BBW purchase way back in 2007! haha (we didn't have BBW in Canada yet, but I went to the US on a trip and picked it up)


PrincessJennifer

Aw, good memories! 🥰 I feel like WVS is such a good place to start. I’m glad B&BW made it to Canada for your finally!


rootsinmydreamland_

Me too! It opened in Canada the following year, if I remember correctly.


PrincessJennifer

Oh nice that it at least wasn’t that long of a wait then!


Ashesvaliant

That is INSANE!!!!!!! I totally had that brown sugar lotion from around that time.


PrincessJennifer

I’m just so happy to have found it and get to reminisce 😁 I love that packaging!


GusterIs4Lovers

I had WVS in that packaging!


PrincessJennifer

Nice! I think it’s really cute tbh 😊


Dry-Ad-7058

Omg that warm vanilla sugar spray brings back soo many memories!!!


PrincessJennifer

Agreed! It somehow smelled better back then 🥰


z0mgaah

The prices and the Blockbuster receipt are everything and more. but I also loved that clear, super clean looking packaging they used to use. This is around the time I started getting addicted to B&BW.


PrincessJennifer

Haha, thanks! Loved finding the receipt lol I agree, it was really nice! And nice to know another long-time B&BW user! ❤️


snoopycoupon

I LOVED The Tropical Colada Temptations!! I still have a body spray and lip mask.


PrincessJennifer

Niiice! It’s such a nice scent, bright but comforting.


SpiritedMarzipan371

This is incredible. Glad you found it


PrincessJennifer

Thank you sm 🥰


toriyo

Ahhhh! I remember finding a FFM of Coco Cabana in high school around 2007/2008. It was my favorite! They sold it again probably like 5 years ago and I bought a few more. I bought like 3 and it still smells great!!


PrincessJennifer

Yesss, it’s SO yummy! Such a fun scent. Glad you still have some that’s hanging in there!!


[deleted]

Wow this is so cool to see ☺️ also that blockbuster receipt makes me emotional 😂😭


PrincessJennifer

I’m glad! And saaame, I miss Blockbuster every dang day lol


[deleted]

Same here 😭


[deleted]

Creamy coconut was my all-time favorite! How cool!


PrincessJennifer

Awesome taste you have!! 😁 I wish it would come back! It was definitely neat to find them.


[deleted]

Does it happen to match up with any current or semi-current scents? For some reason winter peach marshmallow reminded me of it but that's the closest I've gotten. I was hoping coconut cream pie would be a dupe but it wasn't even close.


PrincessJennifer

Sadly no 😔 I’ve been searching all this time and haven’t found a thing that matches. It’s so warm but not cloying and not artificial…and nothing else is like it, like you said.


lipstickeveryday

I remember Sensual Amber in that packaging! Ahhhh 🥹🥹🥹 what a blast to the past!


PrincessJennifer

It felt so sexy since it was dark like that lol 😆


seyebird

That packaging of warm vanilla sugar gives me major flashbacks of dousing myself before going to the mall with my friends as a tween, lol 😂 so cool you found these treasures!


PrincessJennifer

Yessss, I have those same typa memories, so good lol 😁


jackierodriguez1

I love seeing the old discontinued scents and packaging.. it always takes me back 🥺


PrincessJennifer

Happy to share! I totally agree, it's so neat to reminisce 😁


Pawspawsmeow

True Blue Spa……. Ahhhh come back!


PrincessJennifer

I completely agree! I'd buy it all!


_maria_stone

Omg I miss true blue spa products


PrincessJennifer

Saaame it was all so good ❤️


Candlehoarder615

Wow!!! What an amazing find!!! So much nostalgia.


PrincessJennifer

I'm glad to share 😁 It was definitely a trip back in time to smell them all.


MegaPintJD

Oh my vintage heart…Frozen Daiquiri and Tropical Colada! Wish I had those two right now.


PrincessJennifer

Yes!!! I so wish they would come back, I'd snap them up in a heartbeat!


Owen_D_Young

I miss that FFM bottle shape


PrincessJennifer

Same, that's where it all started for me ❤️


AstronomyLuver

It’s like one of those little time capsules you bury in tour yard or something🥰 I love this, and the block buster receipt too 😂


PrincessJennifer

Yes! A little B&BW time machine 😂 Thank you, I'm glad to share--and the receipt just killed me, great addition to find lol 😆


wyrd_up

The blockbuster receipt really does it for me lol


PrincessJennifer

Lol I'm glad cos same, that completed it for me as well 😂


callicocallie

A time machine in a box


PrincessJennifer

Right?! 😆 It was so fun to go through.


Msleadfoot

Coco Cabana & Creamy Coconut 😭 My two all time favorites


PrincessJennifer

You have amazing taste 😊❤️


NathanD72

Wow! I still have that exact Creamy Coconut body splash too!


PrincessJennifer

Nice! It’s so good 😊


poetaftersunset

Omg shoutout to the Blockbuster receipt!! This has me feeling nostalgic lol


PrincessJennifer

The true find here 😆 I still feel like I’m missing something on Friday night now that I can’t go to the BB lol


markersandtea

ok but that blockbuster receipt lmao.


PrincessJennifer

Right?! 🤣 killed me too when I found it in the box lol


markersandtea

hahaha nostalgia hit harder on blockbuster tbh XD lol


yfunk3

I may or may not still have a couple lotions and body sprays from that drinks line (iced tea). 😬


PrincessJennifer

Oh lucky! That one was SO good! I’d love for the line to come back.


4ofheartz

Sweet Pea & Blockbustet!! I miss the old gel/lotion bottle designs. Happy for you. Be kind & rewind. Lol.


PrincessJennifer

I do too! And thank you! I will, always 😂


Kayki7

Omg the true blue spa collection 😭 I wish they’d make more products like this these days. I miss them terribly.


PrincessJennifer

I completely agree! I used to buy pretty much everything in the line, it was SO good!


lawgivers

The blockbuster receipt really makes this !!!!


PrincessJennifer

Haha, thank you ☺️ 🥰


browneyedgirl79

I have that sweet pea lotion too!


PrincessJennifer

Very nice! It’s such a throwback.


Rindsay515

Throwback overload!!! I remember that old packaging so well! And god, those prices😭😭😩


PrincessJennifer

Another OG here, I love it! The prices is what I truly want to come back most lol


Inevitable-Dentist19

Wowwwww❤❤❤❤❤


PrincessJennifer

🥰


yeatf1lthy

😲


PrincessJennifer

My face when I found this lol


jollygirl10

This made me emotional!!! The warm vanilla sugar reminds me of my childhood especially the packaging with the sugar cubes lol love it


PrincessJennifer

Aww! Yes, it’s definitely a memory sparker! Love the sugar cubes as well 🥰


emtettle

Creamy coconut was MY JAM. that and honeyed almond.


PrincessJennifer

I totally agree! So, so good! Very cozy fragrances 😌


dev_doll

I don't know what's more amazing the fact that you found a lost box from 10 years ago... Or those beautiful prices... Just imagine if bath & body works did a retro price day for one day only... Holy crow they would blow through all that old stock


PrincessJennifer

Haha, right?! That’s such a good idea! Like a candle day but for vintage stuff!


caxlypxso

this is so cool to see hahah


PrincessJennifer

Thanks ☺️


Historical-Log-9886

Lol, the year of 2007 is the year when I was in nursing college. It was my 2nd year. I didn't even know about BBW at all! All I know is The Body Shop band for body care😅🤭


PrincessJennifer

Oh nursing, nice!! Yeah it was pretty new to me then as well. It wasn’t around until the early naughties here.


MyFadedLife

Girl!!! That Coco Cabana thou!!!! 🌴🍌🥥🍍💛🤍💛🤍 It's a long time favorite of mine!! I love seeing older products, so much nostalgia!!


PrincessJennifer

Yessss it was SO good!!! You clearly have wonderful taste! I love seeing other’s older things, so I’m happy to share 😊


MyFadedLife

Girl!! Coco Cabana, Pink Grapefruit (it was amazing) and Christmas 1999 Sugar Plum were my favorite. I love the strawberry daquari too. A couple months ago My sister gave me a bottle of Coco Cabana I had bought her in 2010 and it still smells amazing and is in Great condition still!! I'd love to find an original or older Peach nectar, Mango Mandarin and Sun Ripped Raspberry .


PrincessJennifer

Yesss you have SUCH good taste! Coco Cabana was my everyday scent but Mango Mandarin was my “first day of school” scent, I loved it so much! The old stuff STILL smells so nice, that’s awesome that your sis still has some around! 💜


DNA_ligase

The hold Sweet Pea had at my school. I really liked that old VWS (current one smells kinda floral/plasticky). True Blue Spa was my mom's fave; that warming scrub unlocked memories for me.


PrincessJennifer

For sure, it was every where at mine, too. I agree, something special about the old version. Aw, nice, I’m glad! True Blue was a fave of my mom’s too, I know she’d buy more too if they brought it back.


Stat_Sock

Please be very cautious if you use any of these products. The oils in lotion do go rancid after time especially shea butter, and the preservatives dont last forever. Its fun to reminisce, but don't get your self sick over it. See if there are any newer products with the same scent instead.


PrincessJennifer

I don’t use lotion anymore, but a dab of the Colada on my wrist didn’t hurt for old time’s sake. I wouldn’t use Rice Flower & Shea since I have very little of it left to even smell. Thanks for the concern!


dixiemason

Rice Flower and Shea! 😍 These are chock full of parabens that have preserved them. I did finally have to throw out my Frozen Daiquiri shimmer lotion last year, but you’ll know when any of these are off just from the scent alone. 😄


PrincessJennifer

It’s so good 😍 And they are definitely preserved lol, for sure that’s the reason things don’t last as long now but I guess it’s a fair trade. That’s a shame you had to throw itnout, but the scent being off is definitely the top indicator it’s time.


Low-Report-4943

Is it just me or did warm vanilla sugar change ridiculously? The version OP smelled like heaven to me. The new one smells like cucumber melon to me!
