California Haul Part 2: Bath & Body Works/ Victoria's Secret

Singapore does not have a BBW although tons of VS stores have cropped up in Singapore albeit at super inflated prices. I have been to BBW in Dubai where again the prices were just as inflated.

For some reason I am in love with the hand sanitizers from BBW. They are so cute and smell so good! I got 10 of the pocketbacs. I gave like 5 away. One thing I did regret not getting were the holders!It totally escaped my mind. That's the thing with not writing lists of things you want to get! It is so easy to forget everything in the heat of the moment!

 I also got the one with the pump which I have on my dresser right now! And it is so addictive! Because its so easy to use! Should have gotten more dang it. I am not in love with the scent and if I could repurchase this I would but most probably in a different scent. But it was like on the shelves so I just grabbed it and went. I don't even know if I went around the whole store.
 I also got two of their anti-bacterial handsoaps. They are currently rotting in my drawer waiting to be used. I put handsoaps in the kitchen toilet because that's where I put on my contact lenses and I am kinda anal about washing my hands properly before I touch my lenses. I initially just took one but the lady at the counter was like you should get another one so I did!

 Over at VS they were having like a 75% off sale. So I got 2 of these body mists for like US$3.50 and US$4.50 each respectively which I am pretty gleeful about. I don't think Singapore carries either of these lines. I know for a fact they don't carry the PINK range. VS in Singapore is extremely limited. They only carry their perfume range, tons of the cosmetic bags, some underwear and a few beauty related stuff.

The thing about VS mists is that they tend to be really sweet smelling. I do like a sweet scent occasionally but sometimes I feel...overwhelmed.So when I smelled the PINK Surf Party, I was so excited that it wasn't a sweet scent!

But I think it's so cool that store in the US can offer like up to 75% off their items. Whereas during the Great Singapore Sale(GSS) VS only had like a up to 40% off sale. And even then after the discount, that like the original price of items if you buy it in the states.

If BBW reaches Singapore's shores, I can't imagine how high the mark up will be!

I also got some cotton undies from VS. The 5/$26 and some cotton bras, 2/$49. Not pictured because it just felt weird.

The thing about shopping in California is the taxes. 8%! Kills me. That's a lot of money! Thank god that in Singapore prices of goods traditionally are already inclusive of GST.
