Mini(literally) Fragrance Haul

Ok so, two things 
1. Every time I go to WalMArt/Taregt/Walgreens/CVS i have to swing past the clearance end cap in the beauty dept. I mean most of the time you find junk but every once in a while you can find a gem.


2. If you find that gem. YOU MUST BUY IT.


Now thats how we find our selves at todays post. While browsing said section I came mini bottles of perfumes that were under 5 bucks!!  Yes you read that right they were under 5 bucks. Now they had 4 different scents, but only two of them caught my eye. Enough babbling here's what I got.
sorry for the crappy pic


Mariah Carey-/Forever---gardenia, dewy green apple, lotus blossom, tuberose, exotic woods, neroli, white musk


Halle Berry/Halle--Fig, pear blossom, cashmere musk, cashmere musk, bergamot, sensual amber, freesia, mimosa, ultra mimosa, hibiscus, driftwood, sandalwood, olibanum


These are  great for summer and I surpassingly like them both. I'm kind of picky when it comes to scents so I was hoping I would be able to wear at least one of them, but for 4 bucks I figured it's only really a loss if I don't buy them.


So moral of this story. Always check the clearance bins

VS Fragrance Haul

Hey Dolls,
As you can tell from the title I did a little fragrance haul at Victoria Secret today. I love to buy lotion and body spray from them to layer under my perfum or just to wear around the house so that I can still smell good but not waste the expensive stuff!

I like to pick up scents in pairs, 1 body mist and 1 lotion(I prefer the ultra moisturizing hand and body cream, but they also make a body lotion, and body butter if you were looking for something lighter or heavier)


I normally buy from the Secret Garden Collection when they have those buy 6 for $35 sales. Basically if you buy 6 items from the line then you get a 7th free. Plus I had a $10 off coupon so I ended up getting my 7 items for $26! It's totally worth it considering these 7 thing will probably last me for about 6/7 months lol!

I try to pick scents according to season and what I think will work well my the perfumes in my current stockpile. That way I can layer them with similar notes and customize my fragrance so that I never quite smell like anyone else!


Anyway enough rambling here's what I got!
Wild Scarlet-- juice apple and lily (I put DKNY Be Delusions on my Christmas list)


Amber Romance--amber and creme anglaise(I love anything with amber in the colder months)


Sheer Love-- white cotton and pink lily(This is a very clean smell I figured it would work with almost anything or even be perfect for wearing fresh out the shower.)




Lost In Love--Brazilian orchid and Kiwi (I picked this up as my 7th free. I bought this fragrance in the summer and loved it so much I figured I would repurchase the lotion since I ran out, and still had half a bottle of spray. It smells the same but the older version had passion fruit instead of kiwi. The difference is subtle and I probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't write this blog! I guess the floral is the main note so the fruit it is mixed with doesn't change the scent all that much.)
