First Look: Free 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Bra Top (With a PINK Purchase)

Hey guys!

This is the Free Fashion Show Bra Top with A PINK Purchase. Valid 12.4.2014 - 12.8.2014. While supplies last.

2014 Fashion Show Bra Top!

I'm pretty sure this is the 'Sweet Freebie' we're trying to unlock.

This is the back of the mailer I got yesterday. It's funny they're going to release this freebie no matter what, but they have people hash-tagging away so we can 'unlock' it.

Also came with a coupon for $10 Off A $30 Purchase. 

What do you think?

I think I like last years better....

Victoria's Secret PINK New! Leopard Lace Push-Up Bra

All images property of Victoria's Secret. Editing by Me.

Elsa Hosk in the New! Leopard Lace Push-Up Bra in Sapphire $32.95 - $34.95 & in the New! Leopard Lace Thong Panty in Majestic Sapphire $9.50 or Special 5/$26.50.

The bra comes in sizes 32-34A-DD, 36B-DD.

Sadly if you have DDs then you'll have to pay two dollars more at $34.95, for everyone else it's $32.95.

The bra is advertised as "Smoothest Lace Ever. Even Under Tees!"

The site description is "This sporty bra with flirty lift—this push-up has cute logo trim and our new super-smooth leopard lace. Soft, seamless with no-show straps—you'll want to wear it under everything. Cups have our signature pink lining, so you know it’s from Victoria’s Secret PINK."

The bra is super smooth with plush padding, it's not over done though, sorry guys your not gonna pull a Dolly Parton with this one haha.

I'm petite I usually wear a size 32AA from Victoria's Secret, but happily this bra fits me at 32A!

This means that the straps are fully adjustable, meaning you can pretty much slide the tab from front to back (YES!!!). You can also wear it classic or crossback, meaning the straps in the back can detach. The bra has the usual hooks in the back for closure. The site says it's made out of imported polyamide/spandex.

I really love the design of this bra! It feels so fresh and sporty with the leopard lace and the sporty banding.

The bra comes in nine different colors! 

• Sapphire - is a beautiful, saturated, jewel-tone blue.
• Mint - is a beautiful, airy, light mint.
• Basil - is a kind of moss, camo color green, not for me but I can see others liking it.
• Ruby - omg, I don't know why VS is obsessed with this color. Ruby is not a beautiful saturated jewel tone but a dull, as my fiance puts it, "old period blood" color lmao. On the site they make it look some what pleasing but in person it really is a dull, old period blood color haha.
• Rose Grey - is a pretty dusty pink color, with hints of purple in it.
• Peach - is exactly like it's name implies. A pale peach color. It differs a little bit in real life.
• Snow White - is not snow white but a cream color white.
• Dark Grey - is a great sumptuous grey color.
• Black - is actually a true black in real life but on the site it's portrayed as a dark grey.

I can say that even though VS sucks with portraying correct colors on their site all the colors are pretty accurate except for the black, which on the site is shown as a dark grey but it's actually black.

I love the Sapphire, Mint, Dark Grey, and Black, what about you guys?

Victoria's Secret Bombshell in Paradise Limited-edition Eye Shadow Duo

Even though this is an out dated product, I think it still stands to show the quality of makeup by Victoria's Secret.

That and I love the product photography I did for it hehe.

The formula is shit but the packaging is just so pretty. Think of it as a prop for your makeup stand haha.

Victoria's Secret Limited Edition Island Getaway Whipped Body Soufflé

Victoria's Secret Limited Edition Island Rush Whipped Body Soufflé

 

 Victoria's Secret Limited Edition Island Getaway Whipped Body Soufflé

 If anything beauty product has souffle in the name I'm there. Everything is so soft and airy. 

I love the packaging and the colors used in this collection. The colors really do make you think of tropical places and warm sunsets. Perfect for Ohioans haha.

They all come with hygienic covers

A look at the formula

A close up!

 Endless Sunset features Hawaiian Orchid & Currant and is in the neon yellow packaging.

I love all three fragrances but this is the one that my fiance doesn't like so much. 

To me it smells pineapple-y with a little bit of a flower scent. It smells mainly fruity to me. This is my favorite scent of the three.

Victoria's Secret Island Getaway Whipped Body Soufflé in Island Rush

The back

Island Rush features Pomelo & Coconut Water and is in the neon orange packaging.

To me this smells like a shampoo or a hair product. This is my least favorite of the three.

Victoria's Secret Island Getaway Whipped Body Soufflé in Tropical Nights

The back

Tropical Nights features Fresh Berries & Hyacinth and is in the neon pink packaging.

You can definitely smell the hyacinth in this, overall this smells very floral but not heavy.

After you apply the moisturizers the scent of these last a good 2-3 hours.

They moisturize nice but I still get more moisturizing properties from my Bath & Body Works Triple Moisture Body Cream but these are nice for summer.

The best part of these is actually applying them. It is literally like rubbing silk on your body. The formula instantly absorbs into your skin and it's the most non greasy moisturizer I've ever applied.

 It's a pleasure to apply. 

I'm sad these are limited edition, I love the formula. They are already sold out online but you can still grab them in store. I definitely recommend you do.

The Back

Packaging and Bottle

Well for me the best part of Body by Victoria was the bottle, other than that it was a flop. I hated it.

Body by Victoria

Body by Victoria, cap off.

Going by the description from the site you'd think this would smell young and fresh, and sexy, right?

Wrong.

For me this defiantly did not smell "refreshing", "airy" or "fresh".

For me it smelled like the opposite. It was heavy and musky and VERY old ladyish.

It was a very heavy floral scent and both me and my fiance hated it. 

Closeup, Body by Victoria

The smell literally made me think of an old lady in a coffin. 

I tried to wash it off my wrist after with soap and water and it lingered even then.

The bottle is very beautiful though.

Verdict: LOVE the bottle, HATE the scent.

Verdict: LOVE the bottle, HATE the scent.

Verdict: LOVE the bottle, HATE the scent.

I don't get how this could ever be "One of [their] most sought-after and loved fragrances..."

Any lovers out there? 

Did you hate it too?

Victoria's Secret Forbidden Eau De Parfum

 

The Site Description is:

 An exotic, steamy twist on a warm fragrance, this seductive scent is perfect for pushing the boundaries of sexy. New from the Very Sexy collection. This mysterious fragrance dresses skin in a tempting blend of exotic pear, amber wood and midnight blackberry.

 It retails at 1.7 Fl. Oz for $52 & 3.4 Fl. Oz for $68

 

First off the bottle itself is GORGEOUS! I love the jewel-like cap and the gradient bottle with the cheetah print overlay. It's beautiful. I love it. The scent maybe not so much. 

In the beginning this is a heavy, warm scent.

It is way stronger in the beginning when you spray it. At first it's sweet like candy but musky. It fades to a delicate subtle powdery-ness. Almost like baby powder. 

My fiance says it smells like something his mother would wear haha. 

I liked it but not enough to keep it.

Victoria's Secret, VS Fantasies, Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream in Dare

Site description is, "Dare to be sexy—this rich limited-edition cream leaves a subtle scent of coral lily and lychee. This intensive formula provides 24-hour moisture with nourishing avocado and sweet almond oils."

I love this packaging! I love the metallic purple background with matte cheetah prints. The gold ups the elegance. I'm not sure why they added the black line in the middle. It cuts the eyes and it's just intrusive.

This lotion smells fruity but also heavier like a perfume. It is super thick and actually reminds me of the consistency of Greek yogurt lol. This lotion is so greasy that it actually makes my skin shiny.

It's nice but again at $14 I wouldn't buy it again. I got it for $5 during a holiday deal. I'd recommend this for someone who likes scented lotions but isn't looking for serious moisture.

An interesting note is that I'm allergic to tree nuts, and yet when I put these lotions on I didn't break out or anything. Note: I'm not recommend you try these if your allergic, I'm just saying. 

Victoria's Secret, VS Fantasies, Dream of Kisses, Ultra-Moisturizing Hand And Body Cream

This is a fresh, fruity smelling lotion. This is a holiday 2013 edition lotion. Dream of Kisses scent is of Pink Champagne Apples. The back of the bottle reads: "Dream of Kisses. A holiday fantasy of Pink Champagne and Apple. Intensive cream is infused with replenishing Avocado and Sweet Almond Oils. Massage on for the perfect touch of scent and rich, 24-hour moisture."

You can read my more in depth review Here but to sum it up, it's a nice lotion but it's not something I would buy to solve a major problem, like cracking skin in the winter.

An interesting note is that I'm allergic to tree nuts, and yet when I put these lotions on I didn't break out or anything. Note: I'm not recommend you try these if your allergic, I'm just saying.

Victoria's Secret, VS Fantasies, Dream of Glamour, Ultra-Moisturizing Hand And Body Cream

Description from the site: "The ultimate holiday fantasy—wrap yourself in this enticing blend of vanilla and snow lily. This intensive hand and body cream features replenishing avocado and sweet almond oils for skin that feels soft, smooth and touchable. From our limited-edition holiday collection."

I picked these up at the start of the holiday 2013 season, I suck at doing reviews on time, they are currently not being sold.
 
Application: This lotion is greasy, you definitely don't want to be touching the screen of your phone, tablet, or anything really. The lotion is also thick. When I did a rinse test underwater my hands felt waxy, the lotion didn't wash off without soap.

The Scent: It smells better in the bottle than they do on my skin. They seem to change scents once their applied. It's not like they smell bad, but they definitely change. For me it smells more musky on my skin.This scent differently smells sweet, fruity, almost candy-ish in the bottle.

The packaging is beautiful. I love holographic stuff and my photo doesn't show the rainbow flashes you get on the bottle.

My Experience: The bottle says 24 hour moisture but I didn't really find that to be the case. The scent is pleasant and it's not overpowering. It retailed at $14 and I personally wouldn't pay that, I got two for $5 each.

An interesting note is that I'm allergic to tree nuts, and yet when I put these lotions on I didn't break out or anything. Note: I'm not recommend you try these if your allergic, I'm just saying.
