Personally, I found the scents in this line reminded me of something I can purchase in a Sanrio or Barbie collection. It was too sweet or too fruity that it reminded me of being a little school girl. But the fun mix of the color had grabbed my attention and persuaded me to purchase one scent that I particularly did like. The amount of body spray is quite large so for a price like that, I'm not so disappointed but I do find that this is more like a body spray, a quick fix after the gym or on a hot, sweltering day where body odor lingers amongsts crowds. The scent seems concentrated when it is sprayed and smelled directly but depending on your body chemistry, this actually delivers a subtle aroma and it's not toxic to the air which is good especially if you aren't too fond of smelling like Robitussin grape or a candied cherry walking around. I wish the scents didn't remind me so much of dessert but added more softer notes to a couple of them. The benefit is that this can be altered as a light skin moisturizer so it's got dual usage. Not bad, but I wouldn't be repurchasing this.

I found the lotion the more appealing purchase out of the Beauty Rush body collection because the scent doesn't hit as hard as the body spray does so when it mixes with bodily chemistry, it creates a subtle deliverance of scent that doesn't smell so fresh and fruity. Call me old fashioned if you want but I feel as if these scents smell a lot like the product section of a grocery store or a candy so I wouldn't exactly have my body devour all these scents. There are a couple from the line, however, that I find deliciously refreshing to the nose so I purchased two and I do enjoy it. I use it more for everyday or if I just need an instant moisturizer, I keep these handy around the house or in the car. The blend of these fruit scents mixed with regular eau de toilette perfume creates an enigma of scents which I absolutely do favor rather than just one bland scent.

This invokes mixed emotions because it reminds me of baby powder and it also reminds me of my grandma's perfumes. Perhaps it's that ultra soft scent it has that doesn't appeal to me as much but I do use this a clothing refresher for some articles of clothing that have been in the closet for a while and pick up the scent of my candles or new clothing that I haven't tossed in the dryer first. But personally, as a fragrance, I may be one of the very few people that doesn't love it or adore it; I find it mediocre. It sure has a pleasant scent and it does linger as well as placed in a simple, goddess like bottle but I don't believe it may be for me. I'm more of the sharper note type of person who enjoys garden notes of scents and different mixes.

Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Just Kiss Me Glossy Lip Blam
It's No Lipstick or Plain Lip Gloss Either
Another first review for me! Score! Well, I actually got this with the Sexy Little Things kit for an occasion and loved it. I don't usually wear lipstick but I do collect lip glosses and lip balm is a must for me since my lips get chapped almost everyday so this gave me a perfect combination. It's a lip shaped palette which I thought for a second was a bit juvenile to carry around but it didn't bother me so much that I didn't take advantage of what was inside. The gloss delivers a hint of color and I had this in the photo featured here which is a magenta pink tint but when it is a applied it's just a subtle pink over the lips that doesn't scream overdone but simple. I like how this acts as a balm and isn't as opaque as a lipstick at all and has the properties of a gloss. I hadn't even known it was discontinued until it dawned on me this item wasn't being sold online or in stores, I must have been busy using a selective collection of lipglosses to neglect that running out of this meant that was it and there is was, I had tossed this away and was a little bummed this was no longer a VS product. Oh well, at least for the time being that it was around it brought me a good combination of lip products in one. If they ever decided to bring this back, I'm crossing my fingers they repackage it as well. This lasted me probably three or four months so there is a good amount of product and the texture is silky, not sticky so I did like that factor compared to the other VS lipglosses. Bye Bye!

I have to admit that when I first saw these, they were eye catching and I am a person of blush. I love blushes. However, when I purchased one and came home, I opened it and felt intimidated by the different finishes and colors integrated in this one compact but it's actually a gift to have so many colors because depending where you swipe your blush brush is where you emphasize a certain color or you can swirl it around together to get the combination of everything which still looks great. I have this in Wild Child if I'm not mistakened by the name which is a mix of a violet and pinks and when I swirl my brush and apply, it delivers a pretty sheer even wash of a rosy plum and it's absolutely stunning. The mauve, pink, and tan palette is perfect for skipping out on the bronzer because you can sculpt, define, and blush in one step by using this. I have to say out of all the VS makeup pieces they offer, I love this one the most and this by far has impressed me above all the rest of the other products. It is long lasting and nicely pigmented and with a selection of color, you can intensify or soften your blush. I also love the sleek slim black casing that comes with a mirror.

More than the Garden collection's body butters, this is definitely ultra nourishing in my own opinion. I was always dissatisfied almost literally digging my nails into the butter products that I'd get it under my fingernails so this was a better option because it's whipped, it's much more like a cream with the properties of a butter with a seductive scent and I found it also absorbed well and kept the skin soft and supple. What I do dislike about it is that polka dot pink and black packaging, for some reason I found it a bit juvenile for a more risque line to have this type of packaging for a body butter, I'd prefer a more classic simple but not boring design. The other downside to this product is that you will have to shell out a few more bills to have it and the product won't last as long as your Garden body butter so this better used sparingly on those under the sheets ready nights or for those pick me ups during nights of just easing after the bathtub.

This is a clear lip gloss with mint properties and what many don't know is that it's supposed to be licked when they need a breath refresher or so I've been told by a couple of Victoria's Secret employees. I have sensitive lips so this bring a warming bothersome feeling and I feel like wiping it off as soon as I feel it but as it wears off during the day, I end up not minding so much as the staying power of these glosses aren't very long. The scent is pleasing because it is mint, a breath of fresh air so to speak compared to a few lipglosses that had rancid scents to it with all their formulations in the tube that I've tried from different private owned brands.

This is a lovely scented tamer and although I don't believe it provides more shine than it does weight, sparingly this does the trick of smoothing out some frizz and creating healthier looking tips. It's a bit on the heavy side so putting this anywhere around the base of your hair will leave it a bit limp and lifeless but closer to the ends will do your hair justice with it. I'd prefer a more lightweight formula over this but this is a good alternative if you're in love with the "So Sexy" scent but don't overdo it either, it can leave build up and leaving hair looking like it hasn't been washed for days.

Before you go out and spend almost thirty dollars on this stick of lipgloss, hear me out. While some lip plumpers out there deliver a tactic to create an illusion of full lips or even actually expand because of a collagen reaction, this is just a plain Jane standing next to them. This didn't fulfill any expectations nor does it even live up to its own claims and for twenty-six bucks for a clear lipgloss, you're better off purchasing a Dior for even a couple bucks less. This is completely unbelievable that this product even lasted so long on Victoria's Secret's market for cosmetics because while you can feel a tingle on your lips, you may as well add some spice powder your lip gloss and call it even. It's a chunky silver tube of false hopes for those in dire need of glamourizing their lips but I'll tell you these won't even come near giving you Tyra's or Selita's gorgeous pouts.

Perfect is quite an exaggerated statement, however, 'Sexy' or 'Seductive' just like all their other products can be a form fit for this lipstick. While this lipstick acts like a product, I think of it as similar to wet fingerpaint, great in the tube and great when it's first applied but when the conditions bring on the challenge, it just becomes a feathered mess, completely diluted off, or even disappeared completely. After a couple hours, I managed to keep this on but mind you it's partly because I haven't eaten but I've had sipped a couple of beverage here and there. It did last because it left a stain but here's the downer, chapped lips. I found this product overdrying for lips especially when it is worn alone. I strongly suggest a balm is accompanied by the use of this or a subtle gloss to help keep the lipstick from overdrying lips creating little chunks of colored bits from appearing on the lips making it look like tomato peels stuck there. Perfect is a different word when it comes to this lipstick definitely, there are better out there. While the packaging is one of the reasons why I'd like to collect these and purchase them, it's probably the only reason why it's $12.00 instead of five or so. I've gotten better results from a mass brand and long lasting power from something say like L'Oreal.
