Bed Bath and Way Beyond

BED BATH and WAY BEYOND................



I had not been into Bed Bath and Beyond for about 2-3 months. I had previously been visiting the store about 1-2 times a month because I was decorating my entire condo until my home is built. I had come to the point where I was all caught up with my decorating (for now) and was focusing on buying makeup, skincare and hair products these past few months for my blog. Due to the increase in makeup, skincare, etc., I was running out of space to store it. So I headed in to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy more storage drawers, some vanity trays and items to organize my makeup.

When I pulled up to my local Bed Bath and Beyond and saw a sign outside that said "World Market" I was instantly intrigued. I went in and immediately saw that the "World Market" consisted of Wine and Speciality Foods. I instantly thought this was an amazing move by BBB to attract traffic to the store. The aisles were so neat and organized with all the wine and speciality foods. All the wine and food was very unique and something that you would not find at your typical boring Grocery Store. I was impressed and will be definitely coming back to shop the "World Market", but I was there for storage and wanted to stick to what I came in for. So I moved on to the "Organization Section" and bought myself way more than just new stackable storage drawers and vanity trays. The haul did not stop there. I bought new hangers, K-Cups for my Keurig Vue, cleanser for my Vue, another shoe rack (how many must one have), and a rolling vanity tray for my extra bathroom toiletries. There is probably more, but this is all that comes to mind.

So I had everything that I needed and was ready to check out, but I always like to walk the long way around to see all the neat stuff that they have out! I ran into a radio for my shower (I have always wanted one) that you can connect via blue tooth to your phone, iPad, etc. and play all your music or even answer your phone in the shower! I always bring my phone into the bathroom to listen to music while I shower or bathe and I can't hear it in the shower! I really wanted to get it that day, but I am going to wait for another coupon to get it! Here is a link to the shower radio, so you can feel my excitement. I don't think this is the one that I wanted, I did not see it online. The one that I wanted was a bit more pricey, unless I am remembering it wrong from all the excitement.

So after I stared at this shower radio for a good ten minutes, I was going to make my way out of the store when suddenly.... it was like the the skies parted and the angles started to sing. There it was right in front of me, a whole enormous section of Makeup, Skincare, Hair Products, Nail Products, and every toiletry you could think of. I stood there in aw for ten minutes just taking it all in, people might have thought I was nuts, because my jaw literally dropped and I couldn't move. All I could get out of my mouth was "when, when did this happen"!! So after I took in all in and slapped my self back into reality, I started walking up and down the aisles to make some purchases. They had everything that you would find at the drugstore plus upscale high end products that you can't even find at Target. The most important part here is, still at "Lower Prices"!! I started in the makeup section and bought some makeup! I could not believe the prices, plus the fact that I could use my BB&B coupons on these items. I than checked out and asked the clerk "how long have you had makeup and toiletries", she said around 3 months. So that made perfect sense as to why I had no idea this had happened! I also found out that this section is technically called "Harmon" (subsidiary of BB&B) and they also carry an in-store brand called Face Values. I bought and tried out the Face Values Foaming Hand Soap and it was the most creamy yet still foaming hand soap I had ever experienced in my life. I will never go back to another Foaming Hand Wash!

The story doesn't end here. After I got home and put away my new makeup storage and makeup, I realized I needed even more storage! So I decided to hit up another BB&B close to me, for fun and to see if it would be any different. This one did not have the "World Market", I was told after inquiring that only some stores at this point have them. The most importantly factor here, is that it did have the "Harmon" section and all the makeup, skincare, hair and nail products you could dream of. This time I noticed a few more things while I was there. I am not sure if it was become I was not as excited and could pay more attention or because this store's "Harmon" section was a tiny bit bigger. I noticed that they also have an entire row of hair brushes and tools. This section had hair dryers, straightens, and curlers galore. I honestly had to hold back tears when I saw that they had the brand Babyliss. I was going to get the Babyliss hair waving wand, but I did not see it there. They also had a whole aisle of natural organic products and even a section of products just from France. They also have tons of household items from paper towel to deodorant to toothbrushes and razors. They have it all!!

Here are a few photos at the last store that I visited, but they are from my phone so I apologize for the quality.

Final Thoughts:

I believe I have found my new Favorite Beauty Destination. I have loved Bed Bath & Beyond for many many years and now I love them even more. I love that they are not only diversifying their stores, but they are bringing in Quality Products at Great Prices. Any beauty blogger knows when a store has the goods and they have the goods! I can't wait to finish organizing my vanity with my new organization drawers and trays that I bought there and share it with you. I also got new vanity accessories from BBB that are going to make it look amazing. That post should be up soon. I hope you enjoyed this post, but what I really hope is that there is a Bed Bath and Beyond near you so you can experience what I have!

Thanks,

This is an amazing haul my love! I am so curious about all of the products you got, especially the French soap and body butter cream! Geez, I'm so dumb, I've been seeing the Covergirl Hunger Games line at the store and was like what is the fuss with all of this without even looking to read the packaging first! I love the Hunger Games series! lol! I can't wait to read your thoughts/reviews on everything you got and can't wait for you to share with us your organization skills! haha!

Oooh, that's awesome that the World Market is selling some of their things through BBB. We actually have a World Market STORE down here! There's one by my sister-in-law's house but she lives 25 minutes away so I seldom go there. I like to go in there and look at all the diff foods/knick knacks from other countries hehe.

Darnnnnnn... I was just looking for my BBB coupon and think that the husband threw it away already! I wonder if my BBB is selling this Harmon section yet? I will keep an eye for it the next time I go there! I'm curious to try different beauty brands!

Great detailed post love! xx

I want that speaker ASAP!!

Unknown said...

OMG beauty products from France! I told my hubby if we need to go to a BB&B we are going to the one in the city because they have a beauty aisle. Not as many big brands as yours but a lot of drugstore brands + 20% off coupon is just a total bargain for me!

Unknown said...

Awesome haul you did there! I love bad beth beyond also. Except mine carries always expired nail polish! LOL! So, are you back again? Loved the pic of you and your Arab!!! I miss my luxury Friday!!!

Unknown said...

Thanks Liz..I think all of them should have a Harmon Beauty Section, but I would call first before you made the drive. Not all of them have the "World Market". They are in the process of testing them out in certain stores before they expand. I hope you find your coupon....:) You need to get a coupon keeper like the one in my Red, WHite and Blue Blog so you will always have them on you. I keep it in my car now...

Unknown said...

Thanks Angel. Yes they Speaker is Amazing. I hopefully will have it soon. I am saving up and using my next coupon on it. I will do a blog on it...:)

Unknown said...

Thanks Jackie. Yes you need to go!! Yes I did notice that the second store I visited had more aisles, thus way more merchandise. It is also a bigger and newer store so I think it depends on how much room the BB&B Store has to make room for the Beauty Aisles. I am sure if they all had the room, the would have it all....:) In a Perfect World....:)

Unknown said...

Thanks Beauty4free2u..Yes I am back. I had to travel and take care of some business. Yes there will be a luxury Friday..:) That is sad about the polish. You should let the store manager know. If you don't let them know, they can't do anything about it..;)

Unknown said...

Wow that place looks amazing! :) x

Unknown said...

Thanks Hannah,

This place is truly remarkable and I probably showed and discussed .001% of it. It is Amazing!!!!
