Big Clearance SALE On Bath & Body Items

I was looking at ULTA and they have these ULTA Spa Sponge Collections that include 3 different sponges – a mesh pouf, a loofah, and a natural cut body sponge. I like a mesh pouf because you can use a very small amount of body wash and still get a ton of suds. Using less product saves money. These sponge sets are on sale for half price right now.

ULTA Spa Sponge Collection
Regularly $12, on sale for $6

Another great buy for the bath is the Earth Therapeutics Feng Shui Mesh Body Brush for only $1.99. It has a long handle and a rope hanger. It comes in two colors – Earth/Yellow or Wood/Green.

Recently, I tried a few items from the Sephora Brand Apple Pomegranate Collection. (They have collections in a variety of different delicious scents.) The line includes body wash, dry oil, body butter, body scrub, body wash and bubble bath. Using McIntosh apple, pomegranate and orchid, the fragrance is sweet and yummy.

I tried both the body scrub and the bubble bath, and really fell in love with the bubbles. The lather is rich and soothing, plus it contains aloe vera and jojoba oil to nourish and hydrate. At just $16 for 10 oz, it’s a real bargain. The body scrub, which is also terrific, is $8 for 6.7 oz.

Check out the entire Apple Pomegranate Collection and the other affordable bath and body collections from Sephora Brand.

Caramel Apple
If you are a fan of Philosophy’s 3-in-1 shower gel (shampoo, bubble bath and shower gel), you have to get it in this juicy apple and caramel scent. It smells amazing and really get you in the mood for fall activities.

Pumpkin
Pumpkin isn’t just for Halloween. The Pumpkin Spice Muffin scent of Philosophy Shower Gel is irresistible all season long. It’s warm and spicy. All Philosophy shower gels are $16 for a 16 oz bottle.

Red Licorice
Though you might now associate this aroma with fall, it’s perfect for the season. Sweet and scrumptious, this fragrance is a whole lot of fun. You can find all three of these Philosophy scents at Nordstrom, Philosophy.com and other online retailers.

You’ll also like their Double Rich Hot Cocoa, Gingerbread and Oatmeal Raisin scents in the fall and winter months.
