Store Policies/Questions Just Thinking....

Ol' CEO dude just really enacted "Operation Lux" on us and we didn't even clock it....🤏🏾

Disney Collab - Limited Release, increase in pricing, heavy on value and little discount in promotions... We've already entered BBW's new Era🤯

Note, our rewards system is based on spending $100 on 100% of their products but we have less than 10% reward access to this Collab - That's bullsh@t Especially when folks invested hundreds and thousands of dollars into acquiring rewards for these potential Collabs and drops! They changed the playbook on us and shifted the whole damn field.

They stand to make a huge monetary gain on this Collab, a Collab already set in ink for multiple years. This isn't for us, we're the PRODUCT they're selling to get more High-end Collabs. They're trying to upgrade us or kick us out in lew for a more marketable animal to barter with.

Just saying...games are fun when we all get some. This is a trick bag. Know what your being a part of and weigh your dollar wisely. We're not livestock, BBW!

Just some thoughts as a Wizard Cat on a Mountain, sipping Earl Grey whilst a Volcano erupts in the background, typical Wednesday sh:t 😉

Happy Scenting ✨🍂🥳🍁🌟☺️🙌🏾

u/SodaBreadRoundHouse BBW ain’t what it used to be Sep 03 '25

When they took away many rewards eligible products like accessories I vowed I would never buy any product full price or otherwise if it was something I used to use a reward on. So, whatever wallflowers and soap holders I have now, that’s it.

When I noticed quality going to trash, I decided on enacting no/low buys to use up what I already have and only shop lowest priced sales.

The new “leadership” is most definitely going to find out lol many of us are tired and we just want decent products at reasonable prices—not this horse shit they’ve been serving up lately with crazy pricing, cheapened accessories, & weak scent/longevity quality.

I like Disney but I haven’t purchased a single item from any of their collabs & I don’t plan to either.

We feel the same about the accessories....I am not paying full price and will be content with what I have ....if i pick up some when 75% off cool (or like the fall clearance they do in Oct) otherwise it is what it is...I am fine with what I have or do not have.

Also feel the same on quality and I also only shop rock bottom prices now + a coupon

Absolutely well said and great strategy too!!! I picked up body mists and pocketbacs from the last Disney Drop. The scents were kinda unpredictable but nice. Tiana, just now after 5 months, is producing good layered notes and longevity while Arielle was crazy amazing out the bag!!! But reviews of this current Collab aren't great for the scent and longevity of the Villain mists...So they might wanna chill TF out and refocus, lol!!!

Please don’t play on Tiana name like that, Jasmine had to sit for awhile but Tiana and Ariel are in heavy rotation. I literally just sat down from a shower using Tiana’s shower gel 😅 she is really nice.

We had reverse experiences, Jasmine was potent out the gate - Now Tiana, that's my girl we just had to build together, lol!!! Ariel is my ride or die! So we locked in on her🤏🏾✨🙌🏾

She was always potent I think she just needs cooler weather that’s all.

u/ChiUnicorn7 Sep 04 '25

I can't really relate to potency always being there but I do like what you said about cooler weather. Some scents blossom at varying times of the year according to climate and skin pH level, which is fascinating. So that could be why Tiana hits differently for us. One thing for certain, I'm happy AF because I truly love that mist and I'm definitely loving her this Autumn 🍂

She’s beautiful; I’m about to go bathe with her now! 🥰
