Secret Garden’s New Look

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011 | 59 Comments

So, you might already know I’m a tiny bit Victoria’s Secret body mist OBSESSED. Hahahaa~ The amount I own is more than any one person could use in a lifetime. That said, I’m a bit… taken back… with the new look the Secret Garden collection was given. All that iconic value has been lost for me. Not only is the bottle shaped differently, reminds me of Body Fantasies old bottle shape, but the overall image was changed as well.

I think just the bottle shape is what gets me the most. The graphics are quite different too. I dunno, it comes off as looking cheap to me like drugstore body spray. Or more Bath & Body Works looking maybe??? Which I know they have a relationship with, so maybe that was the point? I was just such a lover of the old bottles & this is just mini-traumatic for me. Though to be honest, the old look wasn’t all that stellar either, a bit boring.

old vs new

I wish they had just done something along the lines of the limited edition design they did for Love Spell this Valentine’s Day!?
THAT DESIGN WAS GORGEOUS!

At least I bought more than enough this past year that I don’t have to think about it really, hahahaaa! Now that I look at it more the new look isn’t so bad in photo side by side comparison. I think it’s just so much changed I hardly recognize it. In person it’s a bit more confusing to walk into the store and be met with CHANGE, hahaha! Wall to wall floor to ceiling CHANGE. Like the old design never existed! Ha!

my collection

BUT the good news is!!
Right now all the old bottles are on a 75% off sale!!!!! I picked up a couple of body wash, fragrance mists, and lotions this weekend at around $2.00 each

And on the subject of good smelling things…

trying a new shampoo

OK, I honestly thought this said “Strawberries & Creme” when I bought it! HAHAHA! But when I was putting it up today I realized nope. But it’s fine. I bought it in a total rush and also because the description had the words “hydration,” “shine,” and “volume” which is sometimes difficult to find promised in 1 bottle! HA! It’s sulfate free which is good for colored hair. Though if you can tell lately, my chocolate brown is somewhat faded. I don’t even have noticeable roots because it’s faded to being pretty close to my nature color. Maybe just a few tones darker & reddish instead of golden. Oh well. I might re-color come winter. I still like it so it’s all good.
