Back in December I received a gift card to Victoria's Secret! I'm not big on lingerie or bras (as I don't wear bras) but I do love their body care lines and decided to spend my whole entire gift card on them.

When I went in the mall to buy my lotions back in January, I wasn't sure what I was going to find and what I was going to pick up. I went to one of the largest Victoria's Secret in the city of Vancouver and to be honest they didn't have a wide variety of their body care products. There was a whole entire area dedicated to it but I guess because they were switching products for the season there wasn't much to choose from.

When I went in I wasn't even sure what I was looking for. So I started browsing around and found the Fantasies Fragrance Collection and I was immediately drawn to them by their sweet but somewhat 'spicy' smell.

The fragrances I got were Dream, Coconut Passion, Passion Struck, Rush, and Exotic. 

Out of all of them I would have to say Coconut Passion and Exotic are my favourites out of the five that I got. Coconut Passion has the nice smell of coconut with a hint of a grapeseed and vanilla to it which is reaaaally unique. I try not to use that one as much because I love it soooo much but it's so hard to resist!

Exotic is velvety and enticing made with sea salt and iris, which I also don't like to use a lot of unless I'm feeling sexy or want to have more of a mature smell on my skin besides the fruity scents that I'm usually drawn to.

To be honest without the fragrances I wouldn't buy these lotions. They are average at best. I only use these after my showers and they do the trick, but it's more so for normal skin and not something you'd put on dry, flaky skin. I don't think the fragrance would be good for really dry skin and would stick to something more natural with less chemicals and more with essential oils.

Other than that, I can't get enough of the smells and they would be great for date meeting friends, going out for dinner or a night on the town! They're great if you don't want that overly perfume-y smell (which sometimes even drives me crazy even though I'M the one who's wearing the perfume).

Hey, and 5 for $35 isn't a bad deal!

I believe these products are no longer available except for the Passion Struck and Exotic on their website.

Okaaay maybe not but what I do have are a few products of the most amazing scent ever, can you guess what that is??? no?? What's that, you want me to tell you? Well don't mind if I do, it's COCONUT!!!! Bet you couldn't figure that one out on your own now could ya!

Okay, let's get into it.

Going into Victoria's Secret I had actually no intentions on buying anything but the second I got a whiff of this body lotion, I had to have it!  This is more of an artificial sweeter coconut smell that lingers for a while after having it on.  Not only do I absolutely love the smell, it will soak right up into your  skin without leaving it greasy.  There's nothing more that I hate from a body lotion that leaves my skin greasy.  It's good for dry skin as it's extremely hydrating and moisturizing as well. This retails at $15CAD, which is an affordable price but could easily go for $10.  I'll give this product a 4.5/5 because there really is nothing wrong with it apart from being just slightly overpriced. 

I ordered this face mask from Roseroseshop back in the fall.  I've only used it a handful of times but out of those times I'm impressed with the way it had worked.  It comes with a sanitizer stick to keep product as free of bacteria as possible.  It has a liquid-like texture that just a small layer will rub onto your skin and it will be enough for one usage.  This has real coconut in with the face mask and I find it smells more true to coconut as well. There is a packaging error in this and I find that it is where the downfall lies.  Because it has a seal lock, you can't get any air in it and the product gets stuck in between the seal and the actual container, making it really difficult to get the seal in and the lid on top of that!  Overall I give this product a 3.5/5.  I wish I could give it more but other than the smell, which does linger throughout the day as well.. doesn't really do anything too fancy for me. 

I just recently found this treatment and hadn't completely finished my post so it's going on here!

You have the option to heat your oil treatment in the microwave or in boiling water.  I chose the microwave option to save time.  Initially I put it in for 20seconds but opted to do an extra 10 as it wasn't as warm as I'd like.  After being completely liquidified, I soaked my dry hair with it completely.  It is suggested to keep the treatment in for a minimum of 45 minutes but for best results to leave it in overnight.  I opted to keep it in overnight, obviously.  In the morning rinsed it off, using only conditioner.  This was my first mistake and it didn't come out all the way.  I say that was a mistake but in the longer run it wasn't because the oils were still working even after the fact.  So 3 days later, I finally had time to get all of the oils out.
Out of all 3 of these, this treatment had the most realistic smell of coconut.  It was really sweet and smelled so strong and I just wanted to have a pina colada.  However, the smell didn't last very long and was nearly completely gone by the first morning.
One package did my entire head fairly thoroughly so it will go a long way.  If you have short hair you could somehow store the oil somewhere and use it two or three times!
The end results were amazing, my hair was so shiny, and felt really really healthy.  I loved this oil treatment and will probably continue using it.

At my old workplace I had a customer who told me about this scent and that it was one of her favorites.  I then searched online and seen the prices and immediately closed that idea out of my mind.  Then one day I was casually shopping and seen this line at my local drug store, not only that it was on sale!  I had to have it.

The packaging is very delicate and pretty.

One thing and I find it typical with most every body lotion that I really don't like is that it leaves my skin feeling kind of greasy-which is exactly what this product does. Grossy. Apart from that it does really moisturize my skin and make it feel like a baby's bottom, which is the ultimate goal here, right?

The scent is exactly as it says on the package.
"Exquisitely scented orris, prepared from the root of the iris flower, was highly prized by Renaissance perfumers who used it in their elegant creations."
The only thing I think of when smelling this is one wearing it out to a high end, fashioned party. Maybe from the old days way back when.
However it is not too overpowering, I am still not one for "floral" scents.

Apart from making your skin a little bit greasy, it does the job and it does it well.  If you're looking for a little bit of a scent with your body lotion this is good too.  It is nice to add into your beauty routine as a little bit of a mixture.  All-in-All I think it is definitely worth the purchase on sale, especially if you can find it at your local store-probably hiding in plain sight. haha.
