Hello everyone! ♥
Unfortunately, Victoria's Secret doesn't have a chain of stores in my country and I can't help but feel miserable when bloggers talk about their products and how good they are.
When I accidentally ran into a dupe of a Victoria's Secret body mist in a cosmetic I almost lost it, especially because the price was really cheap.
So I went off and bought it, and I thought I'd do a post reviewing and comparing the two products.
First of all, let's compare them.
As you can see, they're as identical as they can be. The background is completely identical, and the shape of the bottle and the caps are twinning as well.
What's different is the font / writing and the logo. As you can see even the name is similar:
"Coconut Passion" vs "Passionate".
Vanilla & Coconut is what's written in both of the bottles, which makes me think the scent is similar as well, but I can't know that in complete certainity.
They both have the same size - 20 centimeters. As for the price, I'm not really sure what price is the Victoria's Secret bottle. From my research online it's around $12-$16 , while I got the dupe for $3.5. CRAZY,right?
Now, into the review.
Because it is a dupe, I didn't really have high expectations on this fragrance, I just got it because of the appearance.
But, to my suprise, it was quite high quality. The smell is just as it's described ; a sweet vanilla scent with a coconut and cotton candy touch to it. You just wanna eat it!
It's a mildly light scent, that is very recognizable and leaves a mark.
The appearance is 10/10. It has the ability to be a decoration too. It just fits everywhere. Even though the design was practically ripped off from Victoria's Secret, it still makes me gaze in awe.
It is very long lasting as well. I thought the smell would disappear within an hour or so, but to my surprise not only it lasted the whole day, but when I wore the same piece of clothing the other day, I felt a trace of the smell of this fragrance.
Oh, and it's made in Turkey, which is something I was delighted about when I found out, because these "Made In China" dupes really scare me sometimes.
So overall it's done a decent job on all aspects that a good body spray should have.
Here's the back for y'all who wanna read it.
I couldn't find a link for it on eBay or amazon. That makes me sad, but you guys mostly have access to Victora's Secret itself anyways hehe.
This was the post for today!
I hope you enjoyed, see you next time.

Hello!This is my first post and today I'm gonna show you some spring essentials and tips about them :).Before getting started,I'm sorry for the terrible edit but I promise I'll get better at it.Now let's go! x
1.First,I recommend you to get a hand&body cream cause they're an important essential to keep your hands soft.I use this Arko Nem Cream which is from Turkey,and it's really good.It smells like mango and mandarines matched together so it also smells amazing.But there are also other flavors like yogurt&berries ,pineapple,strawberry,watermelon etc. :)
2.To make sure you smell as good as your hands,you have to use a perfume and it's an amazing essential. There are different companies of perfumes but Flormar is da bomb.This is 'Flormar So Chic' which comes together with a deo,but I decided not to show it.This perfume smells like spring itself.It has the violet flower scent and I'm so in love.But also the Katy Perry's perfume(which I can't remember its name) smells amazing! Any perfume would work,but for spring I'd recommend the ones with the flower smell :)
3.Now into lips.To keep them moisturized,I'd recomment to use Baby Lips as an essential.This one is called 'Peach Kiss' and it has an AMAZING smell.:) I think I can't even describe how wonderful it smells*_* The color is also beautiful,it's like a peach mixed with a bit of brown.But Baby Lips in general are a great company,so all of their lip products are amazing.
As we're into lips,I wanted to tell you guys that Labello is also an amazing company :) I have two Labellos and both of them smell good +make lips softer.
This one is Labello Fruity Shine:Cherry.It's sooo good. It smells like cherry and it also gives you a tint of cherry color in your lips:) This one is so 'springish' (if that's a word). It's all fruity and flowery and just reminds me of spring. x
And here's the other one,Labello 100 years. This one was limited edition,so I don't think it's on sale anymore.But it's still an amazing product and it makes me feel special and loved idk why :3
4.For spring,you must have some wet wipes,but you have to be careful while you pick. I will always recommend the ones with the Violet or any other flower scent :) That's what spring's about:flowers! I found those ones Lara Fresh which look&smell amazing.
For more fun,make sure to color-match your essentials ! Look at how well my essentials coordinate ha.And a random idea that came to my mind,is to go essential-shopping.Ya know,to shop some essentials is NEVER a bad idea.*_* That's it for my post loves! Hope you enjoyed and I gave you some ideas ! XOXO
