So one of the first things I made a bee line to buy after "No Buy November" is from Victoria Secret Pink which is from their bath and body collection. I had read and seen several reviews on this scent and I am so glad I went and checked it out. The scent is WARM & COZY. I am so in love with this scent, but I am pretty sure that at one point La Senza carried the exact same scent which I also owned at one time. As you all know VS and La Senza are owned under the same brand, so it was probably just a matter of a small reformulation and repackaging. No less I love the scent and it is truly a warm and cozy feeling due in part to the toasted vanilla balanced beautifully with the gentle scent of peony.
The one thing that is a draw back for me personally is that you only get 2 items for $25 CAD, where as you can go to bath and body and walk away with 4 items, use the their coupons and pay the same amount. I don't really find VS Pink's quality really any better either. I do like that they have different scents compared to B&B.
Again though for those that don't realize it VS and B&B are owned under the same umbrella of brands through Limited Brands, which also owns Henri Bendel, C.O. Bigelow, White Barn Candle Co. that supplies B&B, La senza, along with a few others.
That's why you may notice a similar feel between some of the stores and products.
The other thing I really like about the VS Pink lotion is the size, standing in at 500ml/16.9 fl oz. versus B&B which only offers about 236ml bottles. I really load on the lotion all over, so to me the more the better. Also it's important to wear lotion not only to soften skin, but to layer it with the mist as it retains the scent longer on your body.
I also picked up this cool looking gunmetal finish iphone5 case. I put it on as soon as I paid and I do notice it gets scratched very easily, but what can I expect! VS or not it is only plastic:/
Well that concludes this review on Victoria Secret Pink and join me again for another review here at Makeup'Asylum:)

What a lovely grab from VS! I love the PINK line very much hehe. This set sounds and I can even imagine the smell to be quite lovely! That's such a cute phone case too! So sorry it's already getting scratched up on you though =( I had gotten a case for my phone but after a few weeks I took it off lol. Thank you for sharing this with us love! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz. I was a little skeptical because of the price, but I really wanted something different for a change. I love the phone case anyway because its fun, but edgy without being to girly for me.
DeleteI really enjoy their Pink line. I knew that VS, B&BW, C O Bigelow were under the same umbrella I didn't know Henri Bendel fell under that umbrella. Thanks for sharing that tidbit with us. Cute phone case. Great post my dear!
