One of our favorite (and best-smelling) beauty retailers, Bath & Body Works, is getting shoppers fired up for Black Friday this season with an exclusive Facebook deal.

Starting Monday, November 19th, fans can log on to Bath & Body Works' Black Friday Facebook page and peruse the latest and greatest holiday promotions, including a special that kicks off that Friday morning. And we have to give the brand props for reducing the stress with its mobile shopping reminder alerts that you can sign up for online.

But what we're super excited about is the return of the Bath & Body Works VIP Bag. Chock full of the most coveted fragrance and skincare goodies, they're also offering a giveaway of 30 VIP bags leading up to Black Friday. No worries if luck isn't on your side, as the $100-value tote will be available at Bath & Body Works locations after Thanksgiving for $20 with any $40 in-store purchase.

Curious as to what's inside the VIP Bag? Here's the scoop:
•Cashmere Glow Body Lotion 8 oz
•Cashmere Glow Shower Gel 10 oz
•Paris Men’s Shower Gel 10 oz
•Paris Amour Body Lotion 8 oz
