Victoria's Secret Merry Merry Pink ~ Winter Berry & Magnolia ~ Limited Edition


Victoria's Secret released 3 Limited Edition PINK Scents this winter. One of them being Merry Merry Pink! You can choose between Body Spray, Body Mist, Body Lotion and Shimmer Lotion. 

This lotion has a delicious scent that's warm and woodsy like fresh pines, with a strong floral magnolia and a hint of dark berry. The floral scent is very strong and is much like a floral perfume. This lotion smells very wintry  It reminds me a lot of Frosted Sugar plum with a pungent Magnolia. (If you've ever smelled a Gardenia [little white flower] they are similarly scented and in power) Musky, full bodied, and strong like a man's cologne but flowery. It's very moisturizing and made my skin soft. The only thing I don't like about it is the Shimmer. The only kind of shimmer lotion I like is the 'glow' shimmer like what comes in self tanning (little tiny gold flecks) or like in the Michael Kors Leg Shine. The shimmer in this lotion is more like sparkles, though they are tiny, they reflect lots of colors. :) The chemical ingredients also seem to be pretty excessive. I do believe I will be retiring my sparkle lotion and opt for the body mist instead. :)

Spring Break 2013! eBay Haul ~ Beauty & Accessories ~ Fashion Steals & Where to Buy!

 Hello gorgeous ;) 
This week I'm featuring a happy little eBay Haul focused on a few Beauty & Accessory items perfect for Spring Break! I'll also post some links where you can purchase a few of these items on the CHEAP! :) We love Fab Affordable Fashion and eBay is one of the very best places to find steals on amazing items! ;)

Most of these arrived together on the same day and I'm still waiting on a few others but here's what I got! 


Some of these items are refills for beauty empties but a few I'm trying for the first time. Some of these products are going to be used for
Spring Break Must Haves!

Spring Break Must Have #1 ~ Awesome Beach Bag:
Last year, I had a really pretty Nautica brand cotton beach bag and it ended up getting stained and destroyed from a bottle of tanning oil that spilled all over inside my bag. I couldn't get the oil stain out so I had to toss it :( The next bag I buy for the beach is going to be durable and wipable. So when I was searching eBay for Moroccan oil (another essential!:) in travel friendly bottles I came across this gorgeous Moroccan Oil Tote bag. It's nice and roomy, easy to carry and when I'm done using it this summer I'm going to use it to store all my hair color supplies. It's a gorgeous ocean blue and orange and will look sexy with a tan! ;) It cost me $9.99 + a few dollars shipping on eBay...Love!

Spring Break Must Have #2 ~ Flip Flops: Inexpensive But Stylish Sandals
If I'm going to be hanging out on the rough beach sand I'll usually bring a pair of Old Navy basic flip flops (in white!) but when I'm bar hopping at night I want something a little more classy. ;) It's important to bring flip flops that can afford to get worn or damaged. Swarovski crystal flip flops are one of my favorite sandals to wear but they cost a good $50 and I'm always losing stones :( I checked eBay and  found these gorgeous flip flops for under $9.00 + a few dollars shipping! Awesome deal!


The sparkly rhinstones seem to all be attached to one 'band' which makes them a lot more durable in the sand. So it doesn't look like I'm going to lose any. They still have a nice sparkle and look nice dressed up with jeans or cute shorts. They have a comfy cushion too! They are available on eBay! See Item Here!

Spring Break Must #3: Leave Our (Much Loved) Giant Purse at Home! :)
Huge purses have no place in your Spring Break! Traveling light is not only easier but there's also some kind of zen phenomena that occurs when I'm separated from my enormous purse. First there's serious separation anxiety but after the initial scare, feelings of an immense liberation follows, like we're a whole new woman and we're free from our burden! hehe! :) But really, when I looked in my closet and seen that I had sold off all of my tiny purses and wristlets, I headed over to eBay to find a cute wristlet or wallet in a bright, fun color that I could carry without a purse. Since I don't have anything Pink I decided to buy this adorable pink wallet in 'Watermelon Red'. It was only $7.99 with free shipping! The inside is so cute! They have many colors and you can purchase here! on eBay.

Spring Break Must #4: Light on Products, Big on Beauty!
If you travel during Spring Break I'd recommend purchasing your beauty loot in Travel sizes. I purchased these Victoria's Secret lotions and Moroccan Oils in tiny travel sizes because they meet TSA's size requirements for traveling via plane. 2oz sizes are also great for trying new products and they're an affordable way to use high end products if you're on a budget ;)

I ordered some great Spring scents in small sizes for easy packing:
Moroccan Oil Samples in Reg & Light
Victoria's Secret Hello Darling Lotion
Victoria's Secret Such a Flirt lotion
Victoria's Secret Wild Citrus Sunflower Lotion
Victoria's Secret Secret Charm
Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Lotion

Here are some links where all of these products are available to purchase. Some of them are Limited Edition so they won't be around long :( Each photo is clickable and the links take you to Amazon.com :)
A few of the other items pictured are a Large size Beauty Rush Pool Party in Pina Colada
And a Random Merry Merry Pink Lotion. I only paid about $4 for each!
(The Merry Merry Pink lotion is limited edition so I have to buy it while I can. Smells awesome! ;)

I'll be posting reviews on these Victoria's Secret scents, some I'm really liking and some of them not so much. That's that beauty of sample sizes! :)

I hope you enjoyed this spring break 'Must Haves' post. We'll be following up with another full length 'Spring Break Essentials' on Beauty, Fashion and Travel to help you prepare for a flawless vacation!
