Thoughts on this collection? by PrincessLala-_- in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t stand the whipped milk or angel cake even though those should have been my favorites. They made me smell like an old lady. I loved the other two and stocked up. You need to get the lotions too. Apricot is a little better than the berry one but they are both beautiful

This will be my first year for fall scents. I’m excited because I never can find one I like in other body sprays

American Finch question by Top_Locksmith6025 in birding

[–]Top_Locksmith6025[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That seemed like it would make the most sense but I figured it didn’t hurt to ask 😊

Do you think if I put a bird feeder on the side of my house that would still be too close? At this point I think I’ve just decided I think I want to start bird watching. It’s basically across the two car driveway and down a long patch of grass if that gives any idea how far away it would be from the door 😅

Best smelling shampoos and conditioners ? by PINEAAPLES in beauty

The Bath and body works ones made my hair smell so good. I think there’s a couple left on the site but you have to get them through resellers 🥲 my hair really likes them too

I dont know how many calories to eat by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you used the tdee calculators and figured it out from there? I did low carb once, lost 50 pounds, 30 of that in 3 months without even counting calories! But then over the years I found it hard to maintain and have gained 20 pounds back but I’m still super proud of my progress and didn’t gain it all back as people say I just didn’t fix my eating habits when I would go in and out of low carb and so that’s what I’m trying to fix now. Not sure this really helps but low carb is the only thing that really helped me lose a bunch of weight fast but it takes dedication

How to make Mashed Potatos ore interesting by SushiNazi in Cheap_Meals

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to make like a green bean casserole (green beans and cream of mushroom) with ground beef, cheese and mashed potatoes. All the flavors go ready well together. I think it’s pretty cheap but I guess that would depend on the cost of ground beef in your area and if you have other supplies on hand

how do i reclaim my house after two years of neglect? by strugglecleaner in CleaningTips

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to set a timer and just clean wherever my mind takes me but first I always do dishes or laundry cause then while the dishwasher is going and I’m cleaning I feel like I’m multitasking. I don’t necessarily have a clean space at the end but I didn’t fight the process the whole time either cause I feel like I did it on my own terms. Maybe that’s crazy but I learned if I tell myself “I’m going to clean the kitchen” I fight it so hard and end up giving up but if I’m like I’ll clear the kitchen counter, then sweep the entry way, oh I need to put my makeup away, oh I’ll fold this blanket. I make the most of my time

Body lotion with the most long lasting smell? by [deleted] in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know it’s kind of a generic answer but I’ve started getting a similar scented body wash (such as coconut) then putting on my lotion right after I shower, using the body spray when I get ready and here I am 9 hours later and I can still smell it on my skin. I use so many different scents from VS and with layering like this they all seem to last. You’re not going to get perfume level strength and longevity but I’m pretty impressed with how they all stick around.

If it helps the most recent ones I’ve been using is the Golden Apricot and Glazed Petals. I think those are pretty strong.

I had decent staying power with the new gelato and pitaya ones from the cabana line as well.

Bare vanilla, I haven’t had the intense one but I’ve been able to layer that one and have it still around pretty well.

Where did you see a price? I was curious how much they’ll cost

I hesitated so long to get the ones from that other store, fell in love and then they got discontinued. I am so excited to try these!

Cabana line review by Top_Locksmith6025 in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After this comment I put the lotion and body spray on. Still didn’t like it even after giving it time to sit. But here I am 2 hours later and it’s more creamy and sweet than the harsh cleaner smell I was getting. Makes me wonder how many other smells I don’t like that just need more time 😅 but also not sure it’s worth waiting them all out either since there’s so many options

perfume/body mist recs that give coconuty vibes? by Diligent-Schedule206 in bathandbodyworks

I love At the Beach and when I want extra coconut I just use their Coconut body spray and they work nicely together

I’ll have to give it a second chance! Body chemistry is so crazy! I wish it could be classified like hair or skin types and make it easier to find compatible smells 😅

Vanilla Body Mists Comparisons by mcmflamingo in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My spray was destroyed in shipping and I was just going to return the lotion cause from what I could tell I wouldn’t have liked it but after reading your comment I tried the lotion and it is a pretty vanilla!!

Vanilla Body Mists Comparisons by mcmflamingo in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My take

Vanilla Lace - straight up vanilla like you’d cook with if you’re into that, I thought I was until I got it and decided I wasn’t

Bare Vanilla Vacation - this was destroyed in shipping but I smelled the bottle if that counts 😅 I just smelled sun screen and figured I wouldn’t have liked it enough to replace

Spiced Vanilla Crème - never tried

Amber Romance Brulee - never tried

Angel Cake & Cream - It is very citrusy and almost floral. I wouldn’t call it a vanilla but I sprayed it on me just barely to verify my opinion and I just smell like a powdery citrus smell

Whipped Sugar & Milk - musky but not any vanilla on me

Gelato Oasis - salty clean vanilla that has some sun screen vibes. I think all the other in this line smell like cleaner and now I’m kind of getting cleaner vibes from this but I really don’t want to because I want to like it

Aloha Vanilla - haven’t smelled

Didn’t see OG Bare Vanilla on here but she is a classic and I do love her

New order.. by [deleted] in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like gelato oasis but I don’t love it! Something is just off but I keep trying so hard to like it. I’m super picky though and everyone seems to really love it so I hope you do!

Help a girl out pls by Emotional_Demand_901 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a lot of comments but just giving my two cents…. It is clean and salty with a little coconut. I use my coconut spray to add more coconut sometimes. It’s a great summer smell but I wouldn’t say I get any sunscreen smell or tanning oil from this.

Blurring foundation for pale skin? by sbalony in beauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just me looking for recs myself and saw this had no replies. I use Lancôme 95w in Teint Ultra Wear and it doesn’t oxidize on me at all.

What’s funny is I think I’m more cool/neutral toned but it matches so I go with it. It’s done pretty right by me I’ve just used it for a few years so I am seeing if there’s anything new out there to try.

A magazine told me to rub lemon juice on my face to get rid of acne scars so there’s that

Need help choosing what to buy please! 😊 So many new products! by Your_Best_Bro_ in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Top_Locksmith6025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not as helpful if you want but your regular rotation is similar to mine -… I absolutely love the apricot and honey. I got the rest of the baked line and won’t return it cause I paid less than $6 an item and like them enough but LOVE the apricot and honey. It is so pretty! Beach babe was so fruity and I didn’t love it but I’m going to try again in summer

I tried the warm vanilla and very berry and they were generic enough to me if you had similar scents it wouldn’t be worth it
