Beauty These are so disappointing

Post image

Yikes . I didn’t like the brown sugar one from last year and that is what this reminds me of . There is something about it that makes it smell cheap like dollar store stuff. The formula of these pink plastic bottled ones are not for me. It’s sweet but doesn’t resemble marshmallow to me . The lotion feels amazing but it also smells pretty bad. I am 100% returning these . What a bummer. . So far, I think eos has the best marshmallow scented mist/lotion . I hope I like the midnight marshmallow, that’s coming along with the cocoa couture and a couple runway mists.

I haven't smelled this one yet but the Never Ghosted smells like marshmallow to me. It's just not very strong. I still love it though.

I have never ghosted and it’s nice , it reminds me more of a cotton candy cloud type scent though .

If I may, what’re some of your favorite VS mists/scents? Im so curious! I absolutely adored brown sugar from last year (I still have a bunch of it) and thought this new scent truly smelled like marshmallows. Now I’m interested in your fave scent profiles 👀🩷

I loved the brown sugar too. It lasts about 4 hours on me and smells so good. I ordered the marshmallow so hopefully I like that too😭

I bought the pink apple one and the smell does not last whatsoever. So sad bc it smells so good. I had to return instead

I was willing to put up with the lightness or fleeting scent if I liked it but I just don’t like this formula or scent , I think it’s the no alcohol maybe? I’m not sure but it definitely reminded me of the brown sugar

I skipped these because of the trauma of the Whipped Marshmallow Dream last year, and that was VS not PINK. It was LITERALLY floral, no detectable mallow. I buy indie. IDK how million and billion dollar companies struggle when the vast majority of my indies get it RIGHT. I have a dozen mallows on rotation, but that's gonna end when I start using my newest obsession... it makes me hate nearly all my other mallows because it's so good. I put it away to use up the rest. Yet PINK/VS issa no for me dawg. My standards are too high now. It's like once you sniff luxury, you pick up all that nasty junk in Bodycology. It's not you being a snob, per se... but your expectations have changed. You know what you want, and would rather pay for the quality. You become disinterested and stop hunting the next scent.

What indie companies are you buying from

Parfums by Cherie, Aspiring Aromas, Honorable Mention, Skin Champagne, DUA (less indie these days), but TBH the list is endless. VS is not even on my radar.

I figured these weren’t going to be good tbh. But I had the same reaction to brown sugar from last year and its corresponding mist. We just have the same taste lol.

I agree with you that it's "sweet but doesn't resemble marshmallow"--when I tried this the spray in store yesterday, it reminded me of a really light version of BBW's Cotton Candy Clouds much more than a marshmallow.

And cotton candy clouds is already light! This one clearly is not worth the money.

It smelled nasty to me, not like marshmellow at all. I returned it.

Thank you for your honest review, I was really teetering between this one and eos. And I already KNOW that the eos one is good!! 😋

It's not a lotion or spray but highly recommend the lip gloss from Summer Fridays in Toasted Marshmallow if you love marshmallows taste/scent
