Nordstrom Rack Haul & Sightings (Pic Heavy)

A few days ago I stopped by some Nordstrom Rack locations here in San Diego, so I wanted to show you what I found, and also what I purchased!

I pretty much owe this entire post to my pal Lisa (@makeuplunchanddinner on Instagram) since she was the one who told me that Laura Mercier bath and body products have recently started to pop up at Nordstrom Rack. If you're a longtime reader of this blog, then you know that I have a serious weakness for bath and body products, and I'm a longtime fan of Laura Mercier bath and body products in particular. But they are quite expensive (I once made a bottle of Creme Brulee Body Wash last for two years because I treated it like liquid gold!). So yeah, when Lisa told me that some items were at The Rack for 50% off retail? You know I headed for the door, car keys in hand, ready for the hunt!

But before we get to what I purchased, let's take a look at the other goodies I spotted...

I recently received some of the Lush Limited Edition Valentine's Day 2015 collection products for review, and I wanted to get this review up as quickly as possible while everything is still in stock and avaialble for purchase online or at your local Lush store (Lush limited edition items go quickly though, so don't wait too long if you're interested in anything here!).

There are some adorable new offerings for Valentine's 2015--keep reading for lots of eye candy (and real candy, too).

New from Olay: Fresh Outlast "Farmer's Market-Inspired" Body Washes and Bar Soaps

So I was catching up on my drugstore news over the holidays and noticed this interesting article on Happi.com about the new Olay Fresh Outlast Collection of body washes and bar soaps. After some digging, I was able to find additional images online of these products (some of which are already available for purchase online; the entire line should be debuting in stores in February). Check it out:

NEW Olay Fresh Outlast Collection

Champagne Mango & White Ginger, Orchid & Black Currant,

White Strawberry & Mint, Pear & Fuji Apple

According to the article I linked to above, these new body washes and bar soaps are “farmer’s market-inspired” and "lower in sulfates and contain three times more mild cleansers than before, plus they are formulated to work with skin’s natural pH. The bars contain 10 times more moisturizer than regular soap for smoother skin." 

Interesting side-note: also according to that article, Olay teamed up with Food Network star Ingrid Hoffmann to create four exclusive recipes inspired by each of the new fragrances. I'm sure we'll hear more about that once these products hit stores and the ad campaign begins.

Vitabath Holiday 2014 Limited Edition Body Wash and Body Lotion Collection

You know I'm a huge fan of Vitabath products (found at Ulta, Kmart, Rite Aid and other retailers). I think I've blown through five or six bottles of their Cupcake Couture Luscious Lemon Créme Moisturizing Body Wash since my review in August of 2013. I swear I could drink that stuff it's so yummy. ANYWAY, I just wanted to let you know that when I was on the Vitabath website yesterday, I spotted their holiday goodies for 2014, so of course I had to share:
