With the lack of exciting items for spring, has anyone heard any news for summer release? Is Island Coconut coming around again??

Temptations is probably going away, I don't think you'll see any Island Coconut. The Pop Culture line launches May 13th (i think) and its supposed to be similar to Temptations, but there is no news on scents/products as of yet. Flagship and Bigelow stores will carry the new Coconut Village Perfumer scent, so you might want to check that out.

i was just wondering the same thing too,
the pop culture line sounds interesting,
thanks for sharing the info bodycareaddict.

For some reason, I had gotten the impression that Pop Culture was only going to be one scent. So hearing that there may be multiple scents might be interesting indeed.

Pop Culture sounds very exciting! I can't wait for new scents.

I thought the same thing too, Megan. I hope we're wrong on that though, because HS is just a stand alone product so it would be nice for this to be a new line with more to choose from. Either way it does sound interesting, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.

I was looking around on BBWs website and noticed they have a 32oz. Cherry Blossom body lotion with a pump. It is $24, I wonder if they will make this in all the Signature scents.

32oz. Cherry Blossom body lotion

Wow, that is a LOT of lotion! It would take me a lifetime to use that up!

Wow, that size is... kinda crazy IMO. I don't see myself ever buying a bottle of lotion that large, because it really would take me forever to use up 32 oz especially of lotion. I think I would probably make myself sick of it just trying to use it all up...no matter what scent it is. Not to mention, my stash is big enough as it is (and I know I'm not alone there LOL) so smaller bottles are much easier to store IMO. If/When they choose to repackage everything, I hope the 8 oz. bottles stick around.

That isn't bad for the price, but yea, that big of a bottle of lotion is ridiculous.

That giant lotion bottle reminds me of the big bucket o' Bigelow lemon cream they sell during the Holidays. That thing is family sized.

32 ounces ..

I haven't even seen the 32 oz. Bigelow lemon body cream anywhere. I've been to a flagship and the CO Bigelow store but never came across those here...not even during the holidays.

take me forever

LOL!!

that brings back memories of when they had those sizes in front of the store to try years ago.
i think it would take years to use up.lol

BBW has now added 32oz. shower gels, they are the same price as the lotion ($24)

They have 5 scents in the shower gel and body lotion. Warm Vanilla Sugar, Sweet Pea, Moonlight Path, Cherry Blossom, and Japanese Cherry Blossom. I am just guessing, but I would think those are BBWs most popular scents. Since they are making them in such huge sizes.

I'm kind of disappointed in BBW for the near future. Large bottles of scents I don't like and no Temptations on the horizon. I went thru my stash to see what percentage is Temptations and it's about 45% (almost 100 bottles total). They may have overdid it last spring, having eight Temptations or so out at one time, but I sure hope they have something new out for summer. I get a lot of compliments at work on my scents, today I wore Sunset Mango and people loved it.
To be honest, I work with almost all women and a lot of them do like the flowery scents. But I don't like them. I like fruity or sweet/spicy stuff. When I started buying BBW, I had about 10% flowered scents, but ended up giving them away since they about made me sick.
Of the current signature line, I only like CLV, BSF and Midnight Pomegranate.
I am anxious to try "Hello Sugar", but don't like shimmer and the mousses tends to be very light, so might just get the 3-in-1. I'm a very lazy gal who LOVES the 3-in-1's. I know they can be drying, but I put a keep-in conditioner on my hair afterward and slather lotion on the rest of me.

Well, enough about me. I feel like I'm writing a personal blog or something!

But I am super excited about the outlet BBW coming to my town in June. I wonder how often they will get new stuff in? I can see myself there at least once a week!

I feel almost exactly the same way you do about them right now too, jercatz. Our favorite scents are pretty much the same too, and I know I'll miss the Temptations as well. I like the more fruity or sweet and spicy varieties too, and I know we can't be in that much of a minority there either.

Even an SA at one of my local BBWs mentioned BCB and VT being much too strong her, and also said that she wished the Pineapple Orchid scent was available as lotion or other bath/body products. Hello Sugar has been the only thing I've really liked since the last SAS. I hate to say it because I do still love BBW, but so far this hasn't been a great year for them IMO.

Pineapple Orchid would make a great B&B scent. It's so pretty.

Thank you! I've been thinking that since I first smelled it. I've got a Scentport in the bathroom and even though I normally loathe fruit scents, especially in home fragrance, I actually kinda like this one. I really REALLY love the room spray, though.
