Bath & Body Works shoppers took to the web to shine a light on the chain’s annual Candle Day sale.
The bath and beauty chain’s website said that the sale featured $9.50 three-wick candles. That deal has since run out online. Many stores around the country opened as early as 6 or 7 a.m. for the sale, causing some fans to burn the candle at both ends in order to get first dibs on the merchandise.
So far, posts about Bath & Body Works’ candle sale have run the gamut, featuring everything from glowing excitement over new purchases to fiery criticism of issues with the chain’s website. Bath & Body Works’ parent company L Brands didn’t immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
Some posters took the time to show off their new candles.
