Bath and Body Works, Lush, Victoria's Secret and Philosophy aren't brands that I buy very often, only because I see no reason when I can find something similar at a lesser cost in brands like Calgon, Suave, Sarah Michaels etc.

I'd like to start a thread of Bath and Body lookalikes with your contribution, of course! What have you found to replace your uber expensive bath and body products?

 
I love Suave's blue Ocean Breeze Shower gel. It smeels clean and fresh. I haven't found anything to re-place Bath and Body Works Cool Citrus Basil Body Wash. That stuff just smells so unique.

If anybody knows of anything that does smell like it.....TIA.....LOL

Lush stuff is also hard to replace..like their Rehab Shampoo? I was going to say Rosemary Mint by Aveda until I realized that was $$$, too. I don't know what White Rain Shampoo smells like, but I know it recently got raves from

a top mag....

 
For Aveda's Rosemary Mint you can use....

....de-luxe (body creme, body wash, scrub, soap, mist, lotion - even shampoo & conditioner)

Available at drugstore.com. I love Aveda's Rosemary Mint!

 
Wal-Mart has some BBW rip-offs that are dead-on. I think the line is called Simply Basic. They have a Warm Vanilla Sugar-type, a Moonlit Path (although I think they call it "moonlight walk" or something), a Cotton Blossom one ("cotton bouquet") and a few others I haven't tried. Very cool!

Warm Vanilla Sugar is one of my faves from BBW. Fortunatley, I get a huge basket from a friend of mine every year for Christmas (typical guy.....he found something I like so he keeps getting me the same thing) that lasts me nearly all year.

I'll have to check those out....of course, I just bought some Warm Vanilla Sugar at bath and body, so I should probably wait, huh?

 
There's an Aveda knock-off at Sally Beauty Supply - it's called Aura. If you go to the website and type in "Aura" a bunch of products will come up. It looks like they don't have a whole lot of different products, but has the Rosemary Mint line. As I prefer to order stuff online, I found a website that sells it wholesale ... I really like the prices!

I'd really like to know if anyone has found a cheaper alternative to any of the Laura Mercier bath/body products, especially Creme Brulee.

 
I've never found those drug store, Wal-Mart items to be that much cheaper than B&BW if you buy B&BW when they are on promotion -- which is all the time if you buy multiples.

That's understandable. I just don't make it to the mall that often. In fact, I try to stray away from malls as much as possible. My thoughts are, why would I pay more if it's essentially the same thing?
 
my b/f realli likes the warm vanilla sugar so maybe i'll check out Walmart

.. thx for the thread Mel.. .very interesting.

.. .wish there was a substitute for sweat pea! ... it's my absolute fav color and scent!! i have the anti bacterial hand soap, lotion, creamy moisterizer ... everything ....LoL

I love warm vanilla sugar, but I adore Moonlit Path..it's my favorite. I rarely buy expensive bath products though. Calgon has some good stuff. They have this citrusy scent that smells really good. I've been using that. It's called Hawaiian Breeze. I love Olay's bodywash! I've been using it since Christmas. It really is time for a change. But yeah, drugstore brands have really been raising their standards as far as bath products goes..and I don't see the point in paying more either.

 
I'm a HUGE HUGE fan of the Simply Basic line from Walmart! I have almost every scent in the line, I love them! The scents are long lasting and the lotions feel wonderful and are pretty dead on to the B&BW scents! A must try if not must have!
