Victoria's Secret Endless Love Apple Blossom & Ylang Ylang Hydrating Body Lotion .Review.



Okay. I will admit. Reading the name 'Victoria's Secret' on the label gives me a turn ON. Yes, i do obsess over it. It takes me to places, to fantasies and lands me up in a hypothetical world of shimmer, away from reality. It has its own magic.
But wait! What exactly is Ylang Ylang?
 It is a yellow-flowered tree, native to Malaya and the Philippines, from which ylang-ylang oil is obtained.' It has been used customarily for promoting thick beautiful hair as well as smooth skin. Its sweet and floral aroma is very calming and relaxing.








What the product claims:


"An irresistible, fresh fragrance. Believe in Endless Love, romantic with bright apple blossom and ylang ylang. Experience the luxury of fragrant hydration. Fast-absorbing formula contains nourishing aloe, oat and grapeseed extracts, plus antioxidant vitamins E and C. Massage on for silky, replenishing moisture. Skin feels soft, smooth and touchable: the ultimate sexy sensation."


Now now, First of all, it’s beautiful to look at. Like really, when you see the product sitting on the shelf, basking in its own elegance, you are tempted. But again what product of its lineage hasn't made you skip a beat?
To come out of the bathroom, smelling as wonderful as an apple blossom itself, intrigues everyone. The silage that lingers around the place is alluring, however not long lasting enough to interest oneself for long.




The consistency is perfect. By it I mean just perfect. It is not runny, so minimises wastage .Neither is it thick, to clot in chilly weather. It stays put through out.
                                   Right hand side has the moisturiser on it 

                                 Fingers on the left have the moisturiser.
It blends with the skin when applied and moistens it aptly, though not for long. Once applied you might need a second helping after three to four hours.




Talking about price, it’s available online on websites like Flipkart.com and Jabong .com for 900 INR. Though some retailer offer it at a price as low as 750 INR. Since, it’s not a readily available article, you might avoid bargaining much.



Yumms :
-Fragrance defines love. Endless love to be apt.
-Moistens well.
Yuckks:
-   A little over priced for India. ( Though my bias for VS doesn't make me mind much)
-     Doesn't last long enough. It’s fleeting.


Will I buy it again? No, not because I don’t love it.
But you know how those Summer Flings are, right?
They are meant to be relished, but in that moment. You don’t stick to them for life. It ends with the summer. So does your Endless love.


Did you know that the Indonesians cover the beds of newly married couples with Ylang Ylang flowers?

Tell me how do you like the review ? Love to hear from you . Much Love.
