Victoria’s Secret is possibly the ONE brand that every girl knows. For sure, it’s probably the only lingerie brand that every male species on the planet has heard of. Haha. But not only does Victoria’s Secret do lingerie, they have clothes too. I swear by their pants! That’s, however, totally besides the point. Haha. Well, my fellow Singaporean guys and girls, if you’ve never been able to get your hands on anything VS, it’s time to rejoice, because Victoria’s Secret now has a branch open in Resorts World Sentosa right here in Singapore.
When my girls Sandra and Adie came down to visit me 2 weeks ago, Resorts World Singapore was one of the few places that I HAD to bring them to. It was also my virgin venture there with them.

Entering Resorts World, we walked the long hallways of luxury brands. The ceilings were high, the corridors were wide. People were milling about with their cameras, taking in the atmosphere. Everything was so shiny, sparkly, spacious and super. But I really was there for ONE thing, and one thing only.
When I finally spotted the familiar pink and black sign with the ceiling down poster of one their sexy Angels, I knew I was home. Unlike the casino that you have to pay $100 to enter, stepping into this lingerie heaven is completely free. How much you spend in here is entirely up to you. Your losses may be recuperated in the bedroom but that’s not a guarantee given the size of the store.
The lingerie collection doesn’t exactly live up to the Victora’s Secret image we all have in our heads. The reaaalllyyy sexy stuff probably got confiscated along the way here on the grounds that it might distract pilots flying the aircraft. I found myself wondering where all the frilly, lacy thongs I’m so used to browsing online were.
What the store does boast though, is a lovely collection of their Beauty Rush makeup and fragrances. I can now stock up on my favourite Amber Rose Victoria’s Secret Garden Collection body mists and eau de toilettes direct from here! Stuff I used to only be able to get if someone returned from overseas. Apart from these, comfortable sleepwear and cute underwear from the VS PINK collection also make up the bulk of items in this Resorts World outlet.
The prices of the clothing were a little too steep for my liking. As much as I loved the adorable tanks with their signature logos and cheeky taglines, paying $60 for a cotton tank top just wasn’t my thing.
I did, however, hover over the gorgeous accessory counter for the longest time. I was mostly interested in this gold bag charm with cursive VS letters dangling off it. Too pretty to ignore, but a bit too pricey to buy. As a present though, I’d definitely buy it for Christmas alongside the Beauty Rush lipgloss. If however, this Resorts World outlet is gonna be the first of many VS stores here in Singapore, I’d definitely hope they bring in more of the other yummy goodies we all know and love Victoria’s Secret for.
