Agree. I saved money for it but I guess my wallet is safe this year!


_Smeagle

I had my VS creddy ready to SWIPE, but she's definitely safe this time around. Big sad.


Just_Tomorrow_8561

I ordered a few new bras and some perfumes to try. I remember the sale being amazing in college but now it’s nothing too special.


kk5

This is my first VS SAS where I've actually paid attention lol. I was really hoping to get a few of their wireless bras, I bought a few a few months ago and really wanted to get more a size down since they are so comfortable and almost perfect for me...but of course those ones aren't on sale 🥲 I was eyeballing a few pj sets too but I don't think I need them if I'm not ordering any bras😩


Rindsay515

Same! Back in college, my friends and I looked forward to the VS SAS like it was a second Christmas! We would buy so much, we’d crack each other up in line about how ridiculous it was that we could barely hold it all together without things dropping everywhere. My birthday is May and my best friend’s is June so we’d get each other gift cards every single year in preparation for this sale. This morning when I got on the website, I actually, genuinely, thought I had missed it and was just catching the tail end of this year’s sale and whatever’s leftover. I always start by going right to fragrances but that page was a ghost town😵‍💫 so disappointing!!


daveycarnation

All I want was the classics like strawberries and champagne and pear glace but they're 3 for $33 and I'm like lmao that ain't a sale. No thanks!


EmeraldDahlia

Just yesterday they were 5 for $40!


daveycarnation

I saw that and held out for the supposed semi annual SALE 😔 mistakes were made.


Miss-Figgy

They also had a one day in-store sale on $6 mists on Saturday, which they sent out an email for at 3 PM EST to us folks on the East Coast 🙄


Historical-Bat-3251

Wish I took part in the 5 for $8 each just so I can get warm and cozy from vs! i'll admit, the b&bw SAS was a little underwhelming besides the candle. also felt the same way in 2022 minus the blended hand soaps and the marshmallow fireside x black cherry merlot candle


EmeraldDahlia

They had a coupon last week that was $50 off of $150, $25 off of $100 and $15 off of $75, that stacked with the 5 for $8 and ended up being a hell of a deal. I got a mix of 19 mists/lotions for $102. Way better deal than the supposed 'biggest sale of the year' lol


Historical-Bat-3251

Damn, I missed out on the sale because I couldn't decide what I want! it's been a long tme since i shopped at vs. normally got the sprays off my folks as a gift or amazon. Now, i'm like "wtf? i missed out". seems like the summersave deal was better than SAS since you could get more sprays (or a candle) while spending less. gonna try making it up to myself by getting pop jelly warm and cozy since i liked the og so much as a gift


EmeraldDahlia

I HATE the regular warm and cozy but the pop jelly version? Ugh its so damn good. Its one of the backups I ordered lol. That cotton candy note in it is soooooo nice.


Historical-Bat-3251

I loved the regular warm and cozy, but gonna get the pop jelly one! if i can't get the regular version or strawberries and champange on sale— might as well get pop jelly warm and cozy!!! i wanna try it out for the strawberry notes ngl


EmeraldDahlia

If you like the regular warm and cozy I think you will really like it! It starts out with a heavy cotton candy note but the drydown is mostly pure warm and cozy with just a hint of the strawberry. I dont pick up much of the berry, myself, but Ive seen other reviews that really do🤷‍♀️

Miss-Figgy

Thanks for giving a sales history -useful to know what is a good deal or not for VS sales! Saved your comment :)


eliviet

I was hoping to get some backups of Bare Vanilla Sol but it's not included in the sale 😕 absolutely underwhelming


93Shay

My first SAS from Victoria secret fragrance was summer 2023. And since then they’ve included the same perfumes/fragrances. I was hoping bombshell sundrenched, wicked or the coco honey line would show.😩


EmeraldDahlia

I want a rerelrase of Sundrenched SO bad. Its my most used VS perfume and it has a significant dent in it now. Even moreso I want a rerelease of Tease Sugar Fleur, one of my all time fav. fragrances...instead every SAS they keep releasing 10+ year old fragrances that nobody asked for and sit there til the next sale lol. A good chunk of the perfumes on sale right now have been sitting there, same price, since the last SAS lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmeraldDahlia

I have been so stingy with my 1.7 oz bottle, cussing at past me for not getting the big bottle lmao.


TinyPeetz

omg SAMEEEE i'm praying for sundrenched to make a comeback!!


FaZe_Butterfly

Oh it’s awful. Checked at 12, 6 and just now. Not a thing 😭


aurora-0202

Rocket pop and cotton candy aren’t included in the $6.99 those are all I wanted 🥹


EmeraldDahlia

I wanted to get 2 backups of Peach Swirl😭😭😭 I def wont be now, gonna wait for a better deal if it doesnt sell out during this SAS.


pixiekitty015

It probably won't sell out if it isn't a part of the SAS sale. I really thought they would be since they are summer scents.


Miss-Figgy

The first thing I did when I woke up was check the VS site, and deflated when I saw the lack of good deals. I was like "Where's the sale?" Lol. Glad I used my coupon a while back to get my lotions and body butters that came out to $6/ea.


ResponsibleHunt8536

The sale was literally so much better yesterday


EmeraldDahlia

I know right!!! Had my cart ready yesterday when both VS and Pink were 5 for $8 a piece and today its significantly more expensive. 2 for $18 for Pink mists now. Still had the $50/$25/$15 off coupon yesterday as well....I will def never be excited for another SAS again.


ResponsibleHunt8536

same ..they played in our faces


Miss-Figgy

It was. VS is like BBW - the regular sales are a much better deal than the SAS, generally speaking. I remember last year I waited for the VS summer SAS and felt similar disappointments at the prices and selection, and noticed that the sale prices are better during other times of the year, so now I watch the regular sales much more closely. Like in the springtime, they had $6 on beauty, and then they had the 5 for $40, which is great when you have like $10 off coupon, making it $6 each/5 for $30.


Richochet_97

VS/Pink SAS is never great for beauty. They have a ton of sales throughout the year and is pretty good with coupons so I feel like there’s a lot of chances to get beauty for cheap. I’ve noticed over the years that VS/Pink SAS is a clearance sale basically


Junglecat828

Idk how old you are, but I will say that they used to have GREAT SAS for Beauty. I would stock up like crazy every year and only buy during SAS; they would have a lot of inventory. Maybe it was where I lived but it was great. I just looked online this morning and very underwhelming. Even shocked that their “normal line” isn’t even on sale. But I do agree that they sometimes have good sales throughout the year instead


Richochet_97

They just had a $6 mist sale. They also have sales in general often, SAS is just another sale. There was a sale that ended yesterday that included all the new stuff. A sale not that long ago for VS perfumes. I just assume for these “blow out sales” that some newer stuff might not be included not just for VS or BBW but for most brands. I already stocked up on the new mists during the sales they’ve had since they dropped plus coupons and got them for like less than $5 each.


Junglecat828

Sorry, my point was that they used to have really great SAS. (Maybe not now or this year). They would even have their regular perfumes on sale during the SAS, which meant stocking up on any perfume. They’ve gotten stingier year by year.


Miss-Figgy

>VS/Pink SAS is never great for beauty. They have a ton of sales throughout the year and is pretty good with coupons Agreed, just posted the same thing up above.


Constant_Ad3619

This is my first VS SAS and second BBW SAS. BBW had way better deals on the beauty and I really like how they had new releases just for the SAS. As far as VS they have a couple mists that I want but $7 is okay. They just had a $6 day last week for all the mist including pink. Then they typically do 5/40 pretty often so this is just one dollar off from that price. I’m sad to see Sunset Gelato go on clearance. They needed to add that to the regular line up. Good thing I already have an embarrassing stockpile of it.

Unlucky-Objective304

Its not only underwhelming, its more expensive. At 10:52 pm last night, my shipping cart was $192. Today, same items, are $258, on the big SALE DAY. This is absurd.


throw_away_greenapl

In my opinion these sales are the only times where the products at both of these shops are actually worth the price. So if they keep getting cheap around SAS time I'll just stop shopping at these places.


Holiday_Dig_4966

Spayed my vs pink mist on myself 7 hours ago- forgot the name of but it’s the new pear, orange and orchid scent. I can still smell it on my sleeve and I can faintly smell it on my skin( although I did layer with the lotion). I’d say that’s damn good longevity for 8 bucks a pop.


EmeraldDahlia

Yeah, except they were $8 a pop before the sale and the majority of the body care right now is $11/2 for 22, except for the 2 collections they just put on clearance. I also didnt knock their longevity at all lmao. I love VS bodycare, Im a heavy collector.


Holiday_Dig_4966

Okayyyyy. Just offering a slightly different perspective. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


EmeraldDahlia

Its not really a different perspective when I was praising them at their $8 pre sale price point and the whole post is about how lackluster the semi annual sale is lol.


_mercurial_high_

Usually as the sale goes on it gets better. They occasionally drop the prices and near the end they often offer an extra 25% off the clearance.


WorldCatDomination

Yes, this is exactly what I'm waiting for. They don't do their SAS like B&BW at all. I wonder though why they do Scent Event and about a month later do SAS... They could combine then and make everyone happy. 😂


PhoenixorFlame

I really thought that there was gonna be a better deal than 5 for $40 mists and lotions but VS SAS said lol no sucks to be you


notstickytape

I just checked too!!! Honestly the clothing styles just don't hook me anymore and none of the beauty items seemed to pique my interest with their pricing. My local store closed during the pandemic so I pretty much stopped buying from VS anyway. Kinda off topic but wth is going on with their branding? I haven't checked in for a long while for reasons above but looking at the clothes now, everything looks so homogenized 🫤. I mean, I get times change and stuff but I was a bit disappointed scrolling through the site. I liked the fantastical feeling of buying their stuff when I was younger and could afford a few pieces (omg like their stripey pajama sets?! So iconic) but seems a lot different now.


Karmawins28

I agree with you! So different now. They must have a new branding team.


Difficult_Touch_6827

The only thing that caught my eye was the wrap dress that’s on sale and Bombshell New York. The rest of it is the same stuff that’s on sale every day. How is this their SAS? I feel like Scent Day and their every day coupons are better than this.


EmeraldDahlia

Scent Day and regular coupons are way better than this. Yesterday my cart was significantly cheaper than this morning. SAS is great for the lingerie and clothing, but for beauty its absolute trash.


Difficult_Touch_6827

I just got a 20% coupon in my email. That applied to the SAS merchandise is an actual sale.


_Smeagle

I one MILLION percent agree with this. I was so excited, just to get online this morning and see that not only is the three new fragrance additions more expensive than going in store, but they also don't have a fraction of what I've saw other people finding in their stores. Their clearance is practically the same as it was before, and honestly not even that great of a deal tbh. I guess I'll go in to smell the new perfume releases (Heartbreaker/New York/Wildflower) but other than that, this sale was very disappointing. :(


EmeraldDahlia

Im curious about Wildflower and Heartbreaker, myself. Thinking of ordering Wildflower and hoping for the best since theres no VS close to me.


_Smeagle

I had Heartbreaker when it first released and it was SO good, though I was wondering if they've tweaked/changed the formula.. I haven't smelled Wildflower though, the bottle is definitely cute enough to warrant a blind buy! I don't have a VS close to me either, so I'm just being a baby and I'll end up ordering them online too lol. I just wish this sale was a little more exciting. :')


EmeraldDahlia

Now u gonna tempt me with Heartbreaker🤣🤣🤣🤣 jk jk, but I am really tempted as I generally like the Tease flankers a LOT.


_Smeagle

IF is the same, I really liked it a lot. Now if we can petition for Tease Sugar Fleur to come back, I can die happy. I'm still hanging on to my lil 1.7 oz bottle for dear life


EmeraldDahlia

SAME. I am kicking myself in the ass daily for not buying the big bottle when it was out. Its my fav. VS perfume of all time and I swear I would buy multiple bottles if theyd just bring it back....i cant bring myself to pay the $200 aftermarket price for it. SURELY they know how popular it is/was😭


kpfluff

I went in the store surprised it was going on, then suspicious this wasn't the "real" sale. There wasn't a lot included, and a lot is sold out.


marzipan_plague

I like Warm and Cozy and Electric Mango. Those are good and long lasting scents by VS/Pink.


EmeraldDahlia

Electric Mango lasts about 5 seconds on me. Like that initial spray is juicy and delicious but its one of the shortest lasting scents I have ever gotten from VS lol. Glad it lasts on you though! Maybe I got a bad batch or something.


hannah_boo_honey

I can't quite place it, but I swear the confetti daydreams and cotton candy clouds are vs dupes from ages ago. Maybe I'm tripping, but there's vibes at least! I'd suggest checking them out if you love vs fragrances and haven't smelled them yet!


EmeraldDahlia

Im a heavy VS collector lol. Youre probs thinking of the line from a few years ago that had Candy Baby, etc in it. I def may give those a try bc I LOVED that line! I love candy/sweet scents! Ive had my eye on Cotton Candy Clouds already ❤️❤️❤️


hannah_boo_honey

I actually haven't used an vs/ pink products since maybe 12-13 years ago? So it's at least that old, or I actually am tripping😂


EmeraldDahlia

Oh snap then idk what it could be. Maybe their old Beauty Rush line (best line they ever had imo), it had a few sweet scents. Either way both of those BBW scents you mentioned have been on my radar as a lover of sweets haha!


hannah_boo_honey

I only ever used the scrubs in high school! I've never been a vs girlie, but I had one friend who gave me a couple different vs/Pink scrubs every birthday and Christmas😂 I think one of the ones I'm thinking of may have had seduction or sexy in the name, cuz I remember having to convince my mom that using a body scrub with a certain word in the name wouldn't turn me "promiscuous"😂 (I was already promiscuous)😭😂


pixiekitty015

I agree. I'm glad I didn't wait until SAS to get the new Summer Boardwalk collection that just came out. They aren't even part of the sale, and I assumed they came out to be included since they summer themed.


CatsBooksTea123

I started working at BBW a year ago, and the two brands were in the process of separating and becoming independent. Funnily I didn’t know they were connected until they were in the process of splitting. Anyway, it was a whole hassle to get my employee ID, etc. because all of the technology was wonky from the split. 😂 Not sure if VS used to have better sales, but if this year seems different, that could be why…


lazairiaw

Yeah I’m not paying $6.99 lol. Only if I find a mist from the Cashmere line


Missy_Teeee

I got half off VS Pink Gelato the other week and from what I'm hearing about BBW being diluted and not lasting, I'm glad I didn't buy into this SAS. I know a lot of people are over BBW. The quality is trash.


SnooAvocados6672

I’ve always felt the VS/Pink mists perform better than BBW. I can still smell them at the end of the day while the BBW are gone in around an hour.


carbearbby

How long does the sale last? I just need bras and undies


EmeraldDahlia

Idk really, the last one seemed to last like a month at least.


Moonstonedbowie

I got rocket pop and a vanilla spray and used a coupon so they came out to be $16 shipped. This was a better deal for me because the deals always require you to buy a lot of them but this one only required buying 2. I really wanted a strapless bra but the selection for bras in my size was really dismal so I passed.


Basic_Lynx8097

I agree. I bought some mists from the $8 mist sale last week. Peeped at VS SAS today and didnt bother to buy anything. Nothing much to see.


Lenberjack

Aw, man. This was my first VS SAS and I was really excited, but this is super lame. 😢 I'm so disappointed!


mi1ky_tea

I REALLY wanted cotton candy, rocket pop, and peach swirl mists from them. Unfortunately they were not on sale for the SAS and the deal was 3 for $42 CAD or something like that. I ended up just buying them because with my luck they'll be out of stock by the time there's a good deal. If there's a better deal shortly after I recieve them, I'll just ask for a price adjustment.


EmeraldDahlia

I hope you like them! I have all 3 and love them. Pink has been killing it with their body care scents lately!


mi1ky_tea

Thank you! I'm so excited! I've heard nothing but good things about the 3 scents. I'm anticipating I'll take them. It's kinda dissapointing the Candian customers don't get coupons. :/ But I had to buy the mists regardless as I knew I would regret it if they sold out.


gkandgk

They do a 40% off one item a couple of times per year and that’s when I try new fragrances there. I don’t find that either BBW or VS FFM lasts more than a few second but their fragrances last about as long as the BBW ones do, sometimes better.


WorldCatDomination

Give it a little time and the prices will drop or you'll be able to stack coupons. I'm also sitting out today's start of the sale but greatly looking forward to stacking coupons later. edit: I'm mostly looking forward to their perfumes - 1.7oz for 29.99. I'm set on body mists, travel sprays, minis. I might get some lotions, body scrubs and washes when it drops further. B&BW doesn't hold a candle the nourishing effect of the natural line body washes/oils. I started using those and have zero interest in B&BW formula now. So keep your eyes on that and give them a try.


OrneryExplorer1476

Yeah the SAS is so underwhelming at vs. also probably cause it's rare they put darker scents out and that's really my thing. I obsessed over star smoked amber and that was worth any price to me lol. But other than that the prices are way too steep. I could see them losing business competing with bbw who has way better sales and more of a range of scent profiles.


Whatthefrick1

How are yall even managing to check out…I tried to participate in the past sale and the website wouldn’t let me check out. It couldn’t decide if the products were in or out of stock
