Mini Haul!

Okay, let's start this blog off with a mini-haul!

I went to my local Victoria's Secret, and I didn’t have any intention of getting anything outside of "beauty supplies". With that in mind, I walked out with:

 The new Victoria's Secret lip plumper: Big Smooch!

Attractive packaging, no? So I'm on the hunt for a great lip plumper, and spoiler alert; I'm still looking. This is a two-in-one gloss, one side is a normal, pink gloss. On it's own, it's a nice color, not too sheer but not totally opaque, very glossy.  I would wear this on its own. The "plumping" gloss is a frosty pink LOADED with sparkles. I followed the instructions and applied the regular gloss first then used the plumper. It does have the traditional tingly feeling when you apply it, but the results are lacking. You decide if it plumped my lips at all:

So, I would recommend this if you're looking for a nice, sparkly gloss, but if you solely want plumper lips, look elsewhere.

Okay, on to the Very Sexy Now!

I'm a huge fan of the original Very Sexy, but unlike its predecessor, Very Sexy Now is much lighter and easier to wear on any occasion. It borders on that of a floral, but has warm, musky undertones. I definitely say go for this scent! It'll move well from spring to summer, but not so much day to night.

Okay, on to Victoria's Secret's sister store, Bath & Body Works!

First up are these little guys! Liplicious's "Royal Pucker" and it's accompanying cupcake top! I'm a sucker for knick-knacks, so I caved in and got the cupcake top too! But the star is the Royal Pucker gloss.

This is probably my favorite gloss from B&BW EVER. That's saying a lot, since I'm a gloss junkie. It's not sticky at ALL, this glides on your lips and stays on for a long time. The color is absolutely lovely. It's a gorgeous warm red color with purple undertones, and it is extremely shiny. The scent was my only issue, it's "spiced berry", since I can't stand certain spices mixed with sweet, but it's starting to grow on me and I hardly notice anymore! So, yes, slick, nice color, good scent, I say go get this!

My next buy was the C.O. Bigelow's Lemon and Pomegranate fragrance mist

I got the Lemon and Pomegranate Fragrance Mist, and it is DELIGTFUL! I am definitely looking forward to using it this summer. It smells exactly like pink lemonade, and is a bit tangy (can I use tangy to describe a smell?). It may be too sweet for some people, but it's PERFECT for me! My only problem is the versatility makes it useable only on hot days, definitely not for colder climates.

Last but not least, the new Aloha PINK Wild & Breezy body lotion!

I'm a huge fan of PINK products, call me what you may, but sometimes they are the best products. This is one of those times!

First of all, the scent. It's subtle, but flowery and fruity, reminiscent of summer. It's not overpowering, which is perfect for a lotion.

Next is the packaging. C'mon. How cute is that?! I look at it and wish I were in the Bahamas! I plan to keep reusing this container long after I run out of the original lotion.

Third is the actual lotion itself. It claims to be a "supersoft body lotion", and that's a big claim to live up to. The moment you put some lotion in your hand, it's silky and smooth, very rich. Then you rub it into your skin, and it just absorbs completely. You skin will just drink it up. It's not greasy at all and your skin feels ridiculously soft and supple. Best part? A little goes a long way, so you'll not run out of this fast!

And finally, the price. It's $12 sticker price. Okay, I don't know what your price range is, but to me that's a bit much. However, let's do a comparison. Bath and Body Works' signature collection lotions. Rainkissed Leaves for example. That lotion is $10.50! So why spend more when you can get the signature collection for cheaper? Side by side comparison time!

Still can't tell? Okay, let me show you:

the Rainkissed Leaves lotion is 8 fl. oz., no biggie, standard size. Aloha PINK is 16.9 fl. oz.! To sum it up, the PINK lotion is more than twice the amount of the signature collection lotion, and for $2 more! Yeah. Go get it.

All right, that ends my first post ever! What products from Bath & Body Works or Victoria's Secret are you gonna get?
