My $5.95 Bath & Body Works Haul: Luxurious Scents and Self-Care on a Budget

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of a Bath & Body Works $5.95 sale. It’s the perfect opportunity to treat yourself, try new scents, and restock some of your favorites without spending a fortune. This time, I went all in and picked up a mix of body scrubs, mists, and butters that I can’t stop smelling—and using. Here’s a deep dive into my haul and why each product instantly became a favorite.

Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Scrub

I had been needing a body scrub for a while, and Japanese Cherry Blossom was calling my name. The first thing that hits you is the delicate, floral scent—it’s lightly sweet with a hint of fresh cherry blossoms that’s elegant without being overpowering. The scrub itself is just perfect: it has enough grit to feel effective, exfoliating away dry skin, but it’s gentle enough that it doesn’t irritate or hurt my skin. After using it, my skin feels incredibly smooth and refreshed, and the lingering scent is like a little floral hug.

Infinite Radiance Body Mist

Next up, Infinite Radiance Body Mist is my new everyday scent. It’s light, fresh, and sophisticated, with subtle fruity notes that make it feel luxurious without being overwhelming. I love that I can spritz it quickly before heading out, and it gives a long-lasting glow of fragrance that makes me feel confident and polished. It’s one of those scents that’s perfect for workdays or casual outings when you want to feel put-together but not overdone.

Touch of Gold Body Butter

Bath & Body Works body butters are legendary for a reason, and Touch of Gold lives up to the hype. This body butter is thick, creamy, and super hydrating. It melts into your skin instantly, leaving it soft, nourished, and subtly glowing. The scent is warm and comforting, with golden notes that feel a little decadent without being cloying. It’s perfect for drier areas like elbows and knees, or for a full-body treat after a bath.

Pure Wonder Body Mist

Pure Wonder is one of those scents that immediately makes you think “fresh and clean.” What I love most about this mist is that it’s dermatologically tested, which gives me extra confidence in wearing it every day. The fragrance is airy and crisp with soft floral undertones—refreshing enough to lift your mood, but still subtle. I love keeping this in my bag for quick touch-ups during the day, especially on busy mornings when I want a gentle, reassuring scent.

Twisted Peppermint Body Mist

Finally, I couldn’t resist grabbing a festive favorite: Twisted Peppermint. The scent is exactly what you’d imagine—sweet, minty, and a little chocolatey, bringing all the cozy winter vibes in one spritz. It’s perfect for holiday gatherings, cold mornings, or just when you want to feel festive at home. This one immediately transports me into a holiday mood and makes me look forward to the season.

How I Pair My Bath & Body Works Favorites for the Ultimate Self-Care Routine

If you’re wondering how to get the most out of your haul, here’s how I like to layer and use my products:

Exfoliate First: Start with the Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Scrub in the shower. Focus on rough or dry areas—elbows, knees, and feet—and rinse to reveal silky smooth skin.
Hydrate with Body Butter: After drying off, apply Touch of Gold Body Butter. Its creamy texture locks in moisture and leaves a subtle golden glow while the scent lingers beautifully.
Layer Your Favorite Mist: Spritz Infinite Radiance or Pure Wonder all over for a fresh, polished finish. Infinite Radiance is great for daytime wear, while Pure Wonder feels crisp and clean for anytime.
Seasonal Fun: When you want a festive or holiday vibe, Twisted Peppermint is perfect on its own or layered lightly over Touch of Gold. It’s a little treat that makes winter mornings more cheerful.
Refresh Throughout the Day: Keep Pure Wonder or Infinite Radiance in your bag to refresh your scent anytime, especially after commuting or workouts.

Final Thoughts

Shopping the $5.95 sale is such a fun way to treat yourself without guilt. Each product in my haul is versatile, indulgent, and adds a little bit of luxury to my everyday routine. From exfoliating with Japanese Cherry Blossom scrub to keeping my skin nourished with Touch of Gold body butter, and spritzing my favorite mists like Pure Wonder and Twisted Peppermint, this haul feels like a full self-care upgrade.

If you haven’t shopped the sale yet, I highly recommend doing so before it ends—you’ll likely walk away with more than just a few products, but also a little boost of happiness and self-care luxury.
