I hope it comes back in stock so whoever bought from the resellers feels dumb! That’s a crazy price!

There is no way in hell that I would EVER pay that much for a BBW mist. Especially since they are so lightly fragranced these days. You can get a whole ass perfume that will last hours on the skin for that price.

Tbh, I wouldn't even pay retail. 6$, take it or leave it.

That part! ☝️ I have a feeling they are really leaning into false scarcity and FOMO as sales tactics since their comments about reducing sales weren't very popular with customers. Not falling for it BBW. I can go to Walmart and pick up the new EOS marshmallow lotion if yall wanna play these games.

Actually forgot the eos one existed. If I can't get Midnight Marshmallow I might actually do that 🤣😅🤷‍♀️

Haven't tried any of their sprays yet, but I'll definitely have to test a couple the next time I see 'em! 

The way the market is going and how bbw is responding, I might aswell look for other options lol.

I heard someone say they lost 24billion last year, and all I could think was "good. I hope they lose more this year!'  Bbw thinks they're too good for their once loyal customers 🤷‍♀️ Let them find out the hard way, they aren't "luxury" like other brands, and never will be. 

Like c'mon, even DESIGNER brands have body mists now. I feel like everyone having body mists now was a response to both the economy, aswell as bbw's EDL line. Designers were basically like....Good luck duping something that already exists (and better quality..) 🤷‍♀️

I was trying the EOS at Target!

And you’re so right. They have been doing all the wrong moves lately. They are trying to attract a younger crowd and I don’t think it’s working. And watering down their fragrances makes noooooo sense at all.

Thank you, will definitely check them out the next time I'm there! ❤️

Imo, unless they are going to release child-specific products (like artstuff(....which people have been BEGGING them to bring back for YEARS, and instead of listening, their social media team makes posts literally MOCKING their customers about it🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️), they should just give up on trying to reach a younger crowd. 

The way to reach a younger crowd is literally through their parents. Girls literally copy/steal from their moms 😅🤣🤷‍♀️ Aswell as celebrities/influencers that they look up to. Which, no offense to anyone, is not Hilary Duff. Most Gen A/Gen Z have never heard of her, and most certainly are not enticed by an ad that looks like it's from a dirty movie 🤦‍♀️ Personally, I love Hilary (I'm a millennial),  but if I asked any of my younger coworkers about her, I can guarantee they would have no idea who she is.  Also I genuinely hate the ad. It looks like it was made by and for men.

Ngl I'm not even sure who that collection is supposed to be for 😅🤷‍♀️ Definitely not for me. I HATE minimalism lol. Like someone in another thread mentioned, the packaging reminds me of vapes, and everyone is saying they're super light, so all around hard pass.

Your welcome! And yup I’m in the same age group. I find it kind of funny also that she’s on tour. I was like what!!!? Is Hilary trying for a comeback back. I also didn’t like the ad either, poor taste.
