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.

Okay all of this shopping has got to stop!  riiight after this haul! I don't have very many clothes other than work clothing so this time I tried to steer away from getting so much makeup, which didn't really work out but I did manage to get one pair of pants and a few shoes ok that's good enough, right?  Anyhow let's get started! 

The bag I had bought from Target was a terrible mistake.. I had to get a new one STAT!  This lovely springtime bright yellow bag is from Spring.  I got it on sale as well as 10% off.  For years now I've been curious and always looking at bright colors that sure make a statement and pop and decided to take the plunge and I gotta say I do not regret this one bit!  I love it to pieces and was totally worth getting!

I got these from Victoria's Secret.  They had a promotion where if you bought 65$ before taxes you were eligible to get a free PINK beach blanket, I bought a pair of yoga pants as well as the lotion which by the way is completely irresistible coconut scent which came to the price limit before taxes.  Lucky me, I had no idea this deal was going on!  Can you believe that blanket alone retails for $49.95! That's basically a steal right there.

So there was a buy 2 get one free at Stitches and I was overdue for some casual footwear anyway.  I could only pick out 2 that I really wanted so just grabbed another pair just to get the free one.  The solid color pair is actually more of a lighter sandy/nude which is really nice.  The quality isn't really the best for these but they do the job which is what I want. 

Also picked up some headbands for spring because I'm so ready for it.

Okay, enough of the accessories, now onto the makeup and stuff!

From Mac I got the lipglass Sin from the Toledo collection, only because I have the matching lipstick!   I love Mac collections but I'm not a die hard fan of them, I definitely need to like the color before buying them mercilessly.  I also got another lipstick in the color Chatterbox.  Speaking of lipsticks, it's probably time to do a post on all my mac lippies.  I've never tried the shadows and this beauty was at the counter for $12.  I decided to try this one for my first color and see how it works out!

 I've been meaning to buy a high end foundation to see what the difference is with them between your regular drugstore/asian foundation.  The price of them had made me hold off on them for so long but since I love the Kat Von D shadow palette, I decided to get the lock-it tattoo foundation and I've heard a lot of good things about it.  Excited to see how this works out!

 Lastly, we have Lush.  I went kind of stir-crazy I just couldn't resist!  This rose massage bar smells friggin amazing I literally could NOT pass it up! 

I was also suckered into buying this gem as well to use with the massage bar.

Since I enjoyed the last 2 face masks, I also decided to go ahead and get 2 more!

oops.. went a little wild on the bath luxury items.  Got a lot of fun ahead for me!

I've spent the most here out of every time I've gone in there and only got three samples which is way less than what I would normally get but I still need to get through the first batch so I am perfectly fine with this.

That's it, that's my shopping haul, it took longer than what I had wanted to get this post up because my laptop is sometimes reliable lol.  I'll keep plucking away at reviews in hopes that one day I'll be all caught up and posted!
