  • velvet tuberose and japenese cherry blossom same?

    

  • @lovablehuggies noooo. velvet tuberose is softer and smoother to my nose. that's just one difference. however, they both smell "fancy" to me. like i would only wear them for a special occasion. lol i hope that makes sense.

  • why does it matter what the label is? maybe they thought of a new name and wanted to name that scent with it. i think that it only matters if you like it.

  • I just found out your review of Secret Wonderland because i just bought it at BBW yesterday and felt in love with the smell. Because i'm new with this company i didnt knew that it was called differently before! I'm glad to know that right now! :) I'm gonna do check the review on Moonlight Magic right after :) Thanks Irene! Love ya

  • personally, i dont think it smells so great. when some people have first smelt it, they said they liked the scent, but the "after smell" was horrible, and smelled like men's deodorant. im not sure if i got a "spoiled" bottle, but its not my favorite. love your bbw reviews! :D

  • Many people are saying that this scent IS Moonlight Magic. I have to disagree. There is no denying the two scents are similar. However, to me, there are some significant differences.

    I found Moonlight Magic to be particularly heavy and musky. I felt that it was "bogged down," if that makes sense. I really wanted to like it, but I found that it gave me a headache.

    Secret Wonderland, on the other hand, is much fresher. It is crisp, light, and playful. It is more tart and "sparkly."

  • i have secert wonderland!! haha i love the smell i love to smell it i also have sweet pea and glow in the dark nail polish 

  • Dude that shit smells so good, I'm a guy and my sister got it, I bought it from her. And I wear it. IT'S DELICIOUS.

  • Got the whole set of secret wonderland for christmas. smells so good:) but the scent of the perfume doesn't really last too long. love the shower gel though, and the lotion smells great as well.

  • I got Moonlight magic a year or so ago and Secret Wonderland over the sumer it does smell the same and I totally agree. ;)

  • I think its because it was a special edition because they wanted to see if people liked it..and like you who did, they changed it up a little and now its not special edition.

    if they dont sell moonlight magic anymore, and they sell moonlight path, whats the difference that makes you so mad? :)

  • @buddycake98 I don't recall saying or acting mad at all.

  • @pinkiecharm oh well, usually when someone wants to "punch" a company in the face, that means their mad.

  • @buddycake98 It's called "humor." :)

  • @buddycake98 ikr like what the hell! why would u wanna say "i just wanna punch bath and bw in the face" How machure and she says its called humour wtf! why would u post this just to get hate coments..! lol i agree with u 100% :)

  • @justinbieberfan10183 Thanks!!!!

  • are you kidding me this is the best scent that bath and body works ever had or any store ever had

  • @1achaney Did you watch the whole video? She just said she's mad because its WAY too simalar to Moonlight Magic and it really is. I got Secret Wonderland yeserday and Moonlight Magic like a year or so ago, and they DO smell the same. They smell really good she's just not happy with it because it's a copy. ;)

  • I so agree with you! I think that bath and body works is always planning to make new scents so when they are not ready they choose to re-release a scent that was already out before lol

  • I TOTALLY get where you're coming from. That would piss me off too

    :)

  • I love secret wonderland! I luv ur vids!

  • Hi i love ur videos! U r part of the reason i wanted a youtube account and i got one so thanks for all the reviews

  • i love your videos and your thoughts about different products.I like this scent,but it is not my favorite scent.my favorite scent is black raspberry vanilla.

  • i love ur videos

  • I Love you girl!! Funny video!! They did sneak this past us didn't they? Well..........most of us anyway!! HA!!! =)

  • @Elenaochoajb I care if they're the same as I don't like spending money on a duplicate item when it's marketed as new. And as this is a video in which I share my opinion, that's sort of important for me to mention. :)

    Also, there's no reason to shout. All caps aren't necessary to make your point.

  • Great scent. I like the packaging too. Moonlight Path is my fave.

  • She seems cool

  • Secret Wonderland is back again this year, I saw it in the B&BW store, so theyre probably not gonna repackage and rename it again this year.

  • It's a good scent. WHO CARES.

  • @SwaffelMe I do. That's the whole point of the video, to share what I think. :)

  • I love the new name. : )

  • pause at 5:14. even the color schemes are the same.

  • I like their body spray

  • THIS STUFF SMELLS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

  • You're wrong

  • @SariaSchala Wait, I thought you were going to say the thing was awful, sorry. I guess they discontinued Moonlight Magic and people wanted it back, so they renamed it. I think this name is better, personally.

    Also, there was once a Fresh Rainwater thing. It was discontinued. Now it's back, as Dancing Water. And I LOVE it! I don't care if it's a different name, it's the same thing! People liked it, so they demanded it. And they want it back.

  • @SariaSchala That's why it makes a difference to watch the entire video before commenting.  ;)

  • My bday was coming up and so my parents and sis took me to bbw and said chose a few scents you like, I chose a couple including Secret Wonderland. It did smell simlair to something but I thought it was cause I smelled to much scents. I left the store and they chosen a scent out my choises. for my bday they have me this scent. I love the packing and smell but again it smelled simalir i own moonlight magic. Even though I am mad they did that, but I really like/love the scent. But I will enjoy.

  • at least you like the scent(: i love it! I totally agree when you say it feels like they think we're idiots.

  • I've got a problem.

    Yeah, I love Secret Wonderland. I also read on some reviews that it is just Moonlight Magic in a fancier presentation, and I recently had the opportunity to buy the latter's 8oz body cream, and I happily went home. However, when I used it, in the background it does smell like the fragrance should but it also smells stale, as if old and it is quite strong. That smell won't wear off. Is there any reason why this happens?

  • @nyah012 While the scents are the same, I'm sure the way the scents were put together is different and so the one may be reacting strangely with your body chemistry as the other didn't, or it could just be slightly rancid.

  • @pinkiecharm it smells like that directly out of the tube. :/

  • @pinkiecharm what can I do about it being rancid, anyway? :( thanks.

  • i have the mini bottle of secret wonderland

    and the big one of moonlight magic

    it smells jst the same so the secret wonderland mini one is for my locker (:

  • I think secret wonderland is great so yah

  • I have the Secret Wonderland perfume, i havent had the lotion, do you think it smells the same?

  • @Pinkgrapefruit19 I have the entire line. i think that i smells the same as the spray.

  • Hahhahah i like how she started off with the video "have you ever wanted to punch a company in the face" (: lol

  • Yea, I work at bath and bodyl it's a remake of moonlight magic, new packaging same product basically.

  • Im happy with your review....someone got me moolight magic body wash and I fell in love so I never had the body spray, it was already discontinuied...I just made a purchase for the perfume Secret Wonderland! Yayyyyy :)

  • bbw does this with many fragrances... for example the lemon vanilla is the same as hello sugar, and all the new island escapes are also repetes of older fragrances.

  • Twilight woods smells nothing like Secret wonderland, both smell wonderful though (:

  • I know Secred Wonderland & Moonlight Magic have the same notes, however, I personally find they smell nothing alike. I think it's because despite having the same notes, the amount of each note is different. I don't care for Secret Wonderland, but I LOVE Moonlight Magic. I just found Moonlight Magic at a BBW outlet, & find that it smells like a much, MUCH lighter Dark Kiss. Weird I know, especially since the 2 have nothing in common. To me DK, FS, BF, MM, TW, all smell rather similar.

  • i love secret wonderland

  • dang your right you know whats sad i owned both of these scents and never noticed that wow thats sad

  • i love this scent !!!!!! u r wrong

  • The reason why they just repackaged moonlight magic to secret wonderland is because many people wouldnt even give moonlight magic a try because they thought it would smell like gross like moonlight path (i like MP) but in the SAS they tried it and flipped out that it was dis'cont so secret wonderland was born :)

  • Your opinion

  • people say that forever sunshine and twilight woods smell the same what you think

  • @OFFICIALLYSHARRIE I don't think Forever Sunshine and Twilight Woods smell at all the same.

  • @OFFICIALLYSHARRIE They are extremely different. The only similarity is that Twilight Woods has a bit of vanilla in it and Forever Sunshine does as well, but in TW in is lighter and in FS it is one of the main notes. Besides that, they are so different.

  • Im sorry to say that secret wonderland is my favorite scent and doesnt smell anything like twilights woods. Twilights woods is musky and a nice mysterious scent while secret wonderland is nice amd strawberry scented with some other fruit scents it. I strongly disagree and am sad to say that i found your tone a little too angry. Its ur own opinion not everyones in the world.

  • @steelersis I never said this smelled like Twilight Woods. I also wasn't angry only annoyed that Bath & Body Works did something so lame. I never said I disliked this scent. And yes, I am aware that this is my opinion and never once did I say it had to be everyone's opinion. That's what this video is, MY opinion. I always thought that was pretty obvious. ;) I can't help it if you have an issue with how I express my opinion.

  • @steelersis totally agree. Twilight woods is too strong for me. Secret wonderland smells totally different! there's no comparison.

  • I agree that is smells very close to Twilight Woods.

  • I know what you mean! I hate secret wonderland!!!!!!! You go girl!!!

  • HMM the secret wonderland body lotion says w/ vitamin e , jojoba & shea butter maybe thats the new?? idk.. lol

    we love u too :)

  • They may have been trying to bring back something like the midnight one so people who loved that onw ould have some like that!

  • i wanted to punch maybelline in the face for making all the volume express because they only changed the packaging and brush.i know this cause i borrowed my friends mascara the collasal one by one and the falsies.it pissed me off so much.i like maybelline but i wish maybelline would say that it is simalar to their mascaras. i felt that i was going to kill who thought it would be funny to do this.uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhghhhhhhhhhhhh.

  • It came out before the holidays! Waaay before the Holidays!

  • @beautyjuice02 My point was that it was released for the holiday, as in being a holiday inspired scent hence the name "Secret Wonderland." The time-frame is irrelevant. A lot of brands release holiday items in the fall in order to have the most time selling them.

  • u r so pretty in this video :) i love it

  • i love that

  • The reason as to why they made Secret Wonderland was because Moonlight Magic wasn't selling as much. So, they thought that by giving it a new name and look, that they would sell more.

    I don't know.. I love both but I do miss my Moonlight Magic </3

  • thanks for the heads up, i've been searching everywhere for moonlight magic... i wish some one would have told me it's just secret wonderland.... ^ ^ thank you for the heads up

  • That is a horrible and funny situation all in one. Yeah...I'd be a little upset to because if you already had that scent, your buy it twice. I'd be asking myself....WHY!!! But, thanx for the heads up and luv your reviews!

  • Hi,

    I practically cried and bought as many Moonlight Magic's, that I could, when they discontinued it! I knew it just a summer thing. Yet, I hoped all of the crying by all of their customers, they would keep it. So, I was Extremely! Extremely! Happy to have Secret Wonderland. Though IMO, M.M had more of a Blueberry scent v.s the Strawberry in S.W.

    But, yeppers! They are the same!! (probably just a pinch here or there, gave it a lil more of a strawberry scent)

    Anyways, I love your vids so much!

  • they should have advertised they changed the name...thinking they renamed it to help sales or that the fact this fragrance is nothing like Moonlight Path.

  • for the people who think it's similar to twilight woods, it's a lot sweeter than twilight woods.

  • I think because so many ppl liked moonlight magic that they just put it out but then since they thought it was stupid to put a discontinued item back up again that they changed the name.. But hey, that's just what I think. DO NOT CRITICIZE ME. UNLESS YOU LIVE NEAR A GOOD HOSPITAL.

  • When you held the Moonlight Magic perfume next to the Secret Wonderland lotion, the colors were kind of similar. I loooove this scent though.

  • i have both secret wonderland and moonlight magic, but they smell a little bit different to me... maybe its just my nose :(

  • Thank you for posting this video up! It kind of makes sense now of why they removed Moonlight Magic, and I totally agree with you! My friend was upset when she found out that it was not in store anymore. Though I was looking at a conversation on the B&BW Facebook page and saw that this women suggested that they should change the name of because it resembles to Moonlight Path. B&BW replied by saying that they suggested this idea to their Product Development Team.

  • I left Limited Brands aka Bath and Body Works aka Victoria Secret/Victoria Secret Direct for reasons just like this. If you think they insult their customers by assuming their stupidity you should see how they are with their employees. Just sayin... Quality and honesty is not the name of the game there and I'm rarely ever harsh on employers/businesses. I even left on good terms and still have nothing positive to say. Pretty sad. Definitely keep track when you shop with them.

  • they are doing the same thing with passion fruit. i just got the sample the other day and then i was like woah, they used to have this before. they changed all the packaging of it and added something in the name, so dumb!

  • I just checked and it does smell identical to moonlight magic :o

  • To add onto my 2 other comments, the thing about winter wonderland though, is moonlight magic smells a bit like medicine. I took the two and compared them after noticing how secret wonderland smelt JUST like moonlight magic, and moonlight is like 1 HAIR sweeter. But yes they are completely the same. I was very mad because I didnt smell it before I bought it because someone bought it for me, I already had moonlight magic :( gahhhhhhh

  • OMG lol I posted my comment before I even watched your vid or saw any comments and I said the exact same thing as you:) shows its true! its so freaking true. I am very angry with b&bw.

  • It smells EXACTLY like moonlight magic. Moonlight came out like 3 months ago and they discontinued it ( or thats what I was told by a employee) and then all the sudden I bought secret wonderland and it's like EVERYTHING moonlight is. They just re named it.

  • great video i bought my aunt the lotion and the frangrance mist for christmas i think i smell strawberrys in it

  • i feel like secret wonderland smells similar to twilight woods.

  • @RENThead12 Really? I don't think they're at all alike. They don't share the same notes. Funky. :)

  • @RENThead12 haha. I thought the same thing. they smell the same.

  • @RENThead12 Right? I've always thought that!

  • i have moonlight magic and when i smelled secret wonderland i couldnt help but think the exact same thing you did. i was like....i know this smell...i OWN this smell already...and they are saying it's new? i was sooo disappointed in Bath and Body Works... =( I do still love the store though.

  • @colorsformeg001 same thing ! check my comment :)

  • WHAT DOSNT MAKE SENCE TO ME IS THAT THEY DISCONTINUED IT AND THEN BROUGHT IT BACK!

  • I can see how you're annoyed, but I think the reason they did it was because people were confusing moonlight path and moonlight magic, I think they realized that since they are such different scents they shouldn't have such similar names. I never smelled moonlight magic, and so when I smelled secret wonderland I really loved it and wasn't annoyed.

  • I KNEW IT!

  • your makeup is gorgeous! and thanks for the review (:

  • Well they had a reason for repackaging and renaming it. Moonlight Magic was a limited edition fragrance. The packaging was summery and a lot of people associated it with Moonlight Path, from which is completely different. They decided to bring it back for the holiday season with a new name, knowing that customers buy more products at this time of year. Its smart marketing, not them trying to annoy you.

  • I freaked out too! I was like wow put twilight woods in different packaging and I walked out of the store.

  • Comment removed

  • @smallbutmighty97 Funny you would leave such a comment when your comment was so negative. Good job, hypocrite. :)

  • I wanted to let you know.. That they are the same. I was told by my local three stores that it was. I like it only because I liked the smell. So I found it really funny when I found out. I found out before they stopped selling it.

  • ONE OF THE REASONS I DON'T SHARE THERE ANYMORE.

  • KITTY!

  • I found it interesting to see how many different colors you used for your eyeshadow -- it totally doesn't look like that! I'm also in love with you earrings. Do you remember where you got them?

    Thanks for review -- I'm glad you called them out because I was considering getting this online. Now, I won't! <3

  • Dun dun dun! They wouldv'e gotten away with it if it weren't for you pesky kids! Good job Scooby!

  • Kinda off subject here but I'm super excited here!! Vintage sister just put up their holiday lip balm flavors! I just ordered from them for the first time...yay!! I got Christmas cookie and Ribbon candy! Can't wait to get them. Are you getting any? I'm glad you posted this video, by the way, I have been looking for a winter lotion....thanks for the info on this scent!

  • that's exactly what i thought! moonlight magic is one of my favorites EVER and when i smelled this i was like... hm...smells exactly the same.

  • i actually adore this scent. maybe they changed the ratios of the scents in this product, i'm not really sure. but either way, i still love secret wonderland! but maybe thats because i'd never heard about moonlight magic!

  • You rock girly!

  • i totally love it when you get all ranty! maybe you should have a new video category called rants, that could be fun.

  • @anim8ion YES. :)

  • can you PLEASE review Philosophy's Purity toner cleanser thing?!!!!

  • I agree, this is so lame. With the exception of their Mint Chocolate candle, I haven't been impressed by any B&BW product in a long, long time.

  • do you like the wall flowers or candles from bath and body works?

  • @emilywuhvsyou I love both!  :)

  • I am totally on the same page with you AND I was so surprised how you never mentioned how the package COLORS are EXACTLY the same as well! To the T just like the notes. Wow- thank you for the "review" either way. I would also be very upset if I had the body fragrance already and bought this thinking its NEW... <3

  • You are so beautiful, and with your bangs down, you're ravishing! *lol*

  • I used to work for B&BW and it isn't all too uncommon for them to "discontinue" and then repackage and re promote under a new name. I agree with you they should just say it's a re promote.

  • @Lubbcookie Thank you! I'm a cusp sign actually, in-between Sagittarius and Capricorn.

  • Thanks for the review! HAHA the beginning I just freaking cracked up!

    And yeah I know. It seriously BUGS ME!

  • i so love that scent. so good

  • You are so right Irene, that is lame of Bath and Body to do this. They couldn't have bothered at least throwing in an extra scent in the notes to mix it up a bit? They also did it so close together too. Very lazy.

  • Reminds me of MACS collections/repromotes big time. Im kinda glad they did this so we can still buy the scent, I loved it! And this packaging is cuter. But I agree when I smelt it I knew it was the same and would have wished for a different scent.

  • I think what you're saying is so true! Thanks for sharing! Love your videos. . .

    <3, Holly

  • love your vids :) i totally get where your coming from, hate when company's do that.

  • thanks for the great review!! happy holidays :)

  • Your reviews are so awesome! Keep doing what your doing.

  • you should mention in the sidebar what products you used for your hair in the video :)

  • such detailed reviews...thanks and keep it up!

  • lol I love you!

  • I want to punch companies in the face too! LOL! And people...;)

  • Yay, a Christmas give-away :-D

  • i just went to bath and body works the other day and smelled secret wonderland and i loved it!!!! i never smelled moonlight magic so i;m glad secret wonderland is here!

  • I think you are ze best reviewer ever!

    Don't ever stop :]

  • Aww you look so pretty with ur hair like that!!! :D

    

  • Aww you look so pretty with ur hair like that!!! :D

  • I wish BBW was available in Europe.

  • I love secret wonderland I went to bath& bodyworks n smelt it and it was awesome but I'm broke so I couldn't buy it

  • ooooh i want to try moonlight magi....i mean secret wonderland! :)

  • o wow, wish i would of seen this review before i placed my order for secret wonder land candles, wallflowers and the body stuff! but, i did like the moonlight magic and i'm out of that, so i guess it's ok : )

  • im glad that they came out with this scent because i didnt get moonlight magic when it came out

  • Love your reviews! saw the review you did on 'victorias secret love spell midnight' and was hooked :) would love to get secret wonderland in order to see what youre getting so passionate about hehe

  • im glad u did this rant/review! i would want to know, bc if someone were to want to order it online and already had moonlight magic it would save them some money:) but i personally love moonlight magic so im happy;) lol

  • i love ur reviews irene ur always super honest and ur hair looks cute like that

  • i think its funny how the packaging is the same colors too.

  • When I smelled the tester in the store I knew it smelled like one of their other scents, but I couldn't put my finger on it! I didn't get it for that reason, and I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only person who noticed!

  • **could you please do a review on Rimmel Lastin Finish Foundation?? please & thank you!**

  • love your earings

  • very entertaining 6:58s :" You know you love it." Priceless :D enjoy watching your reviews

  • New to your channel, Love all your videos...where have I been!!!!

  • Great review!! So glad you called them out. Hate it when companies do that too. =)

  • I think you are absouloutly right because if someone has already bought the moonlight magic lets say perfume then bought the secret wonderland perfume you would have the exact same product and you would have wasted money!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just subscribe (i know, I've always been a late bloomer) and i love your thorough reviews (and rants!) LOL! great job!

  • that is so crazy..you think they would at least change ONE thing...or maybe lie on the description a little so it looked like a different scent lol

  • Never smelt either but i do agree with you how companies suck some times when they do stuff like that

  • I smelt Moonlight Magic in the summer and really liked it! But i never got around to buying it so now that I know Secret Wonderland is the same, I can go around to getting it :) Thanks!

  • Never smelled moonlight magic but might think about trying secret wonderland

  • i loveee fruity scents! might have to check this out. nice video :)

  • I agree, this annoys me to!

  • Thanks for the rant!!  Thorougly enjoyed it & even snickered a few times.

  • I never smelled Moonlight Magic but I heard it smelled great. Thanks for the review. Next time I'm near a Bath & Body Works...I will check it out. Take care :)

  • Hmm, Interesting. I suppose companies do this so they can take an already successful product that they know people already like and make it up in a matter of minutes without any thought. They should have least kept it it's original name and not try to write it off as a brand new product.

  • Thanks for this...

    

  • I knew that it smelled familiar when I smelt it in the store!!! Good nose! Though, your hair looks really bright and shiny in this vid ^.^

  • Hmm, NEVER smelled this before. We don't have a Bath & Body Works in Hawaii :(

  • I loved Moonlight Magic!

  • Yeah hahahah :) :) I am so laughing because it is in the Black Friday bag and I am going to be getting it soon. I have never smelled Moonlight Magic. I did smell Secret Wonderland it in the store and totally agree with you about the fact it is not a holiday scent. I did buy a lot of their socks today though for gift baskets I am dividing the black Friday bag up. :)

  • Thanks for the review.  I can totally understand why youre upset with BBW. I still wonder why they went through the trouble of redesigning the package and renaming it.
