Victoria's secret blush fragrance lotion grapefruit blossom and magnolia review

A great alternative to perfumes and deodorants! Not really something to buy if you have dry skin and are expecting to keep it soft. There is no mention of how exactly this product is going to give us 'nourishing moisture'. Suckers of fragrant products who aren't really aiming to moisturise their skin can buy this.








Price: $ 18




Weight: 226.7g/ 8 oz

Packaging: A tube with a press open lid that clicks shut. This makes it travel friendly. Just don't put too many things in your handbag/purse along with it because something might press against the lid and open it inside your bag. The entire lid can be rotated to open and shut like any other tube package.







Absorption: Takes about 5 seconds to disappear on the skin after applying it in circles (for me) and a few more seconds to get absorbed by my skin. To be used in small quantities because even a little will cover a large area of the skin.

Feeling on the skin after absorption: Does not feel heavy on the skin after absorption.

Immediate effect after complete absorption by the skin: Skin feels only a slighty bit softer than it was.

Effect after using it for a month: 


Pros: 

A delightful scent: A little hard hitting in the beginning when it comes right out of the tube (or maybe it's jut me) but later, pleases the olfactory senses, making you feel wonderfully fresh. Enough for a passer-by to take notice.

Long lasting: Fragrance lasted for about 4 hours.


Cons: 

Irritates my facial skin: Do a patch test if you have sensitive skin. Did not affect the rest of the skin on my body.

Made very little difference to my skin when it comes to skin turning soft.

Does not mention exact species of magnolia.

Contains parabens: Use it as per your discretion. Whether to use it daily or only when venturing outside is really your own decision.




A regret: 
I wish I had some real magnolias and grapefruit blossoms nearby to compare their scents with the fragrance of this moisturiser. Please do compare the fragranes if you have these flowers growing in your neighbourhood.

P.S. : I will be updating this review to let you know the changes in my skin after a month.
