A new bombshell has entered Five Below.

“Love Island” fans are taking over stores after shelves were filled with new series merch — and it has many screaming, “I got a text!”

The discount giant stocked stores across the nation — and online — with themed, budget-friendly $5 items, like Slay Body Oil, which “leaves your skin looking bomb,” and pompom and pearl tumbler charms, plus, of course, a $25 spray tan gun to give your skin a bronzed glow to match your “summer vacay vibes.”

Pink water bottles sporting the “Love Island” logo are reportedly big sellers and flying off shelves. Many other items — like the “Love Island” Island Breeze Body & Hair Fragrance — are also nearly sold out.

The show-branded Ex-Foliator Body Scrub sold out of two fragrances online — Fiji Punch and Villa Vanilla — with the Casa Colada scent close behind.

Many lucky fan-shoppers who got their hands on the merch are celebrating the collab.

“So excited to be sipping from my Love Island water bottle while watching all the villa drama this season. My Love Island fan era is thriving!” one user wrote on Facebook.

Another customer was urging others to quickly hit up the bargain behemoth.

“If you’re obsessed with #loveisland like I am, you need to RUN to Five below!!”

Not everyone, though, is cracking on with the products, with a trove of shoppers complaining the smells are way too much for them. 

“I’m warning you now, though, these scents smell like getting dumped from the villa,” another Facebook user wrote.

“The concept is very cute but not worth buying. Smells like coconut and piss this is horrible, do not get this,” a shopper said on TikTok.

Many people also have a real problem with the spray tan gun. In fact, a professional took to TikTok after allegedly using it on a client.

“This is a big bust,” she revealed, saying she first tried to spray it directly onto her client’s back — and because it’s “barely a mist,” it wound up being “extremely splotchy.”

Even when the artist went in with a brush to try and smooth it out, it was very “uneven,” she said.

“This is not a good spray gun,” she summed it up. “It’s not what a spray tan should look like.”

Fans say other merch is more practical and worth scooping up, including a $7 combo towel and beach bag and $5 hand sanitizers.

“Love Island USA” is a reality show based on the UK series of the same name and follows islanders who couple up and compete in games and challenges.
