Portland Store Walk Through | White Barn & Bath & Body Works Shop With Me in Oregon + a Haul!

[@onebeautifulangel6706]

Hi Melissa! The store looks great! And it's so good to hear that the mall is thriving! 🤗❤ Love your haul! I like the lavender and musk scents paired together 😊

[@kelley4215]

I love the Musk -got two of the sprays and a hand creme! I also liked the Lavender and may go back for it as well.

I didn't think I'd like the apple with the random strawberry and rain notes but I really like it. I think the apple is subtle and the fresh rain scent makes it smell really nice. I'm glad I don't even smell the strawberry. After buying and testing the apple cream and mist at home, I also ended up going back and getting a full sized sweet kiwi and starfruit mist because I think it'll go nicely with the apple body cream. I already got a travel sized bottle for my free birthday item last month and wasn't going to bother with a full sized one before since I had no matching lotion for it. I hate lavender and I'm not into musk so the apple is obviously my favorite and I'm really glad I got it.

Yay! So excited to see what they’ve got going on over there…definitely considering stopping in for Mother’s Day goodies.

[@alexkid7814]

completely unrelated but you skin is GLOWING!!!! I have been a subbie for since you started and whatever you are doing...keep doing it! I have the same skin as yours except for some reason, I am terrible still at finding what works for me. If you ever do a makeup and skincare tutorial, please do...I would watch it 1000x times over.

[@MelissaC]

Aww thanks so much, and thank you for sticking around for so long! 🤗 I've had a couple of requests for a skincare video, so maybe I should do that. I feel like everyone will be mad if I share what it is. 😅 It's very basic and if a dermatologist or someone who knows about skin were to see they'd be like "😨" haha but it works for me I guess so I'll just keep it up! Do you have dry/normal/oily skin? I have dry skin, so I mainly work at trying to get enough moisture! Thanks again for your kind words! 🥰🤗

[@alexkid7814]

@@MelissaC I have fair skin and I also just do a basic skincare routine. I use cetaphil for my facewash, in the gentle formula. I use Dr Lewins face moisuriser and a sunscreen and their eye gel. For my face I use a bit of concealer in a stick and a brown eye liner and gloss. Thats it haha. But all of a sudden...out of nowhere, I have blackheads!! I'm kinda freaking out. I refuse to see a dermatologist because I love my skin and I kinda don't want to over strip my skin.

[@MelissaC]

@@alexkid7814 Isn't it weird when you're going along then all of a sudden something changes? I hate that! 😩 I've had a couple recent break outs but thankfully I think I know what the cause was (eating too much sugar! 😅) so hopefully that'll be easy enough to prevent/fix. I hope you can figure out why the sudden change so you can fix it, and that it's just temporary! 🤞

I only smelled the Apple one, but I liked it on the test strip. I want to try it on myself before I buy it, though. I wish the shampoo and conditioner came in travel sizes. I didn't care for the scent of the Bridgerton body care. It was too peachy for me, and I don't like peach. Brightest Blooms wasn't for me, either. I was surprised to like Dressed in White. I only got the minis, but for that kind of scent, that's all I need.

[@MelissaC]

That's a good point, I think it would be a great idea if they offered some of the hair care in travel sizes! I know very briefly I had seen pictures of travel size shampoo and conditioner of At The Beach. I almost think they were being supplied at hotels for a time (maybe still are? Not sure...) I hear you on all of those other spring releases you mentioned. This time of year is usually pretty meh for me since I'm not a floral person. I'm more looking forward to when Summer SAS rolls around! 🥰☀️

[@ThePepperdoggie]

I picked up the musk one because it smells exactly like Dyptique's L'eau Papier which is super expensive. I'm glad to have this dupe. 😊

[@lucindac.3975]

Lavender was the one I was most interested in for the reasons that you mentioned. Can't get enough of lavender.

[@MelissaC]

Agreed, I'm surprised they haven't had more lavender options lately so I'm thankful for this one! 🪻☔💜

[@theresaann8337]

The apple has to be my favorite, but the lavender is nice to use before bed.

[@MelissaC]

Agreed, I can't wait to have apple for a refreshing morning scent and lavender as a bedtime scent! ❤️

[@misssodelish]

I looooved this walkthrough so relaxing and fun 🥰. So happy to be here great reviews new sub! 😍

[@MelissaC]

Thank you so much, and welcome! I'm glad to have you here! 🤗🤍🌷

[@ashliwemett]

Thanks for the video! I picked up the Apple line during the sale over the weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I like that scent. Lavender was my second favorite, but it was a bit strong for me so I didn't pick it up. I like lavender when it's mixed with sweeter scents (my favorite B&BW lavender scent was Apple Blossoms & Lavender). However... thinking about it now, I was remembering how mosquitoes HATE lavender, so I may grab some of the mist of that. I hate the way bug spray smells, so lavender is definitely preferable for me. I didn't care for the Musk at all, but that was not even remotely a surprise as I tend to hate anything musky.

[@misssodelish]

Lavender is my vibe sensual & sweet! 💜 Apple 2nd fav!

[@MelissaC]

🪻🍏 I agree, love them both!

[@juliemudd2985]

Hi Melissa! Ty for the mall background history and the tour of their BBW! I have the coconut pina colada candle as well but I haven’t burned it yet. I’m waiting until Summer but my gosh it smells soooo good!! I haven’t picked up the Danbury Shortbread candle yet. I’m waiting for another set sale price. I have it in the soap and wallflower though. I’ve only picked up the lavender body care and I have the full set. I used it last week and I love it for nighttime or just a cozy day!

[@MelissaC]

Me too, I love pina colada scents! 🥥 🍍 They are the best for summer. Same here, I'm saving it for June or July to burn. 🕯️ I'm glad you're enjoying the Lavender so far, I think it's perfect for a relaxing Springtime scent! 🪻

[@TheMorgan21rose]

I've been binging your videos. Your reviews are so good. I want to smell the apple! I just ordered a bunch of the new designer inspired scents. I cant wait to get those.

[@MelissaC]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! 🤗 I'm curious about those designer scents too, but I'm worried they won't be scents I'm interested in wearing. 🥺 I just wish I could sniff them in stores! 😅 You'll have to keep me posted on what you think of them!

[@PodieM18]

I really like the Apple, Lavender,Musk line - But I like the Lavender and Musk more than the Apple . I bought my Mom the trio of Lavender during the Weekend Body Care sale, they were waiting on a new shipment of the Musk so I didn't get any of that one. Instead I bought myself a Shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo, all included in the sale and all really nice, I was really pleasantly surprised. I will definitely purchase again my hair feels great, really soft but not too soft - just right 😊👍

[@MelissaC]

Which scent(s) did you get for the hair care? I wanted to get some Waikiki shampoo and conditioner, but when I checked during the body care sale they were sold out of shampoo! 🌴 Maybe next time! 😅 I have an At The Beach one I plan to use during the summer, and in the past I really enjoyed an Aromatherapy one in those same bottles that was Lavender Vanilla. The Moxy hair stuff I didn't like at all, but the signature collection ones I really like! 🧼🫧💇🏼‍♀️

[@PodieM18]

@@MelissaC I got a Champagne Toast Shampoo ( I love the smell in a candle or on my hair but not in the FFM ) , they were sold out of the CT in the conditioner so I got it in Gingham Gorgeous, as I thought those two scents would work well together. I also got the Dry Shampoo in Champagne Toast, it's also really good....

[@kathys4037]

I didn't purchase any of the 3, but liked the apple scent the most. The luxury dupe line took precedence, lol! 😂

[@MelissaC]

I have yet to see/smell any of the luxury scents. Which do you like best? 🥰

[@kathys4037]

@@MelissaC covered in roses, pink obsessed, petal parade, viva vanilla are among my favs!

[@beachbro714]

Ooh you all should come to LA most of the "old" bath and body works are remodeled sadly but there are a few hidden gems scattered around that vary from the 90's stores and early 2000's it's awesome.

[@MelissaC]

Those old stores are my favorite! The one in my town/the one I worked at for 6 years was a cute 90s store! 🥰 If I ever make my way down to California, I would definitely have to tour all if the BBWs in the area! 😁
