Oy, vey. This stuff is a mixed bag. While I know it's world renowned and everyone loves it, I find that it dries my lips out like nobody's business if I don't put a balm or gloss on over it. I adore the naturally rosy lips effect and the bee stung look you get, but I MUST put something on over it or I feel like I've got chalk on my mouth. As far as cheeks go, you have to put it on a teeny tiny bit at a time because it dries almost instantly. I use this on purpose for that effect though for the occasional artsy china-doll-cheeks thing.

Flawless is purely a clear polish. I actually bought it on accident, meaning to purchase a base/top coat, but I decided to keep it after I decided that it was nice to go color free sometimes without my nails being totally bare. It gives you that shiny buffed nails look, like you're a mobster. Despite their claims of it being chip free, I find it starting to chip within a few days. If this were a color I'd probably feel a bit letdown.

As always, Lancome shadows are as dependable as a Volvo. I love how the new black is really rich but not so much that it makes your eyes disappear. Drape is VERY light, so you really want to save this for a highlighter. The depth of Camisole really brings out the violet shimmer in it though. These three go together like milk and cookies.

Oddly, the first few times I wore this, I was on the fence. I thought it smelled nice, but it didn't really blow me away. Then something weird happened and I got a new tester of it and it didn't even seem the same scent to me. Maybe my first one was a bad batch? Now I can't get enough. I think maybe what I had originally was the eau de toilette, and what I got the second time was the eau du parfum. Yep- I just checked. That's EXACTLY what it was. okay- super awesome in the parfum- avoid the toilette and go for the real deal. It'll last longer and it smells better.

Not to be confused with the Japanese Cherry Blossom, which is a much richer, more complex scent. This is lighter without the oriental undertones. more of a day to day scent, or casual- going to the movies with your girlfriends, not a hottie. Nice, but nothing special.

Why do I ADORE the deodorant so much but can take or leave the perfume? I have a coworker who loves the perfume on me, but what really blows my mind is the deodorant. They actually don't smell like the same scent to me! Not only is the deo crazy effective, but it makes people want to actually ON PURPOSE smell your armpits! I try to go natural on the pits when I can, but sometimes I know I'll need more and this is perfect. Going out to boogie the night away? Got a hot date? This stuff rocks. And the deo lasts a year and a day! Inspired by the soft, sensual feeling of cashmere against bare skin. Cashmere Mist is a fragrance light enough to wear all over your body, all year long. It seduces the senses - skin, scent, and spirit. Notes, Lily of the Valley, Suede Notes, Bergamot, Ylang, Jasmine Maroc, Sandlewood, Orris. Amber, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Musk. Style: Sensual. Intimate. Soft.

This one is a very clean floral, not a sticky one. Grown up floral, not kiddie or old lady- just grown up. A good daytime scent that is subtle enough for work but still has a touch of classy sensuality. They say: INFUSION D' IRIS is like a dream, an Italian voyage, an ambiance, the smell of soap, the clean scent of crisp linen sheets, and naked skin. It combines classic, exceptional quality ingredients from Italy such as the Iris Pallida from Florence and the warm top note glow of Sicilian mandarin. It expresses itself through its contrast between a great freshness and apparent lightness and a type of tender veil, sensual, and strong, that envelops the body and the clothing of the woman who wears the fragrance. And yep, that about hits it on the head!

Rocks my world! G Never one to get lost in the crowd, G leads her crew in a white, corseted top and a blue miniskirt á la Alice in Wonderland. Quirky, unique, and undeniably cool, G is the leader of the pack. Her scent is an oriental, fruity, gourmand fragrance with notes of fresh coconut, jasmine, and cotton woods. Notes: Mandarin, Coconut, Apple Skin, Jasmine Sambac, Freesia, Magnolia, Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood, and Cottonwoods Style: Tropical. Sunny. Distinctive Apparently I'm a fan of the oriental fruity gourmand, cause this one makes me wanna go roller skating. When I wear this I keep snurflin on myself. And seriously- it really does make me want to go roller skating.

I really adore this sophisticated, playful scent. It's mildly sweet, but more fruity than floral, and with a depth and undertone that grounds it and keeps it from being nauseating or overly childish. So why oh why does the smell have to fade so astoundingly quickly? WHAHHHH! I want to wholeheartedly recommend it, but it fades so quickly on me. Next time you're at the mall or Sephora or what have you, seek it out and give yourself a spritz. I know different people's body chemistry burns through scents differently, so maybe it won't do it to you. I did find (through a sampler that I haven't reviewed yet) an Etsy seller called Kopycat Fragrances I believe, and the sample of another scent I got from them was dead on- they have a version of this, so I'm going to try it and see what I think. It's made with oils, so it might last longer on me.

Bluch. I don't know where they're smelling musk, but all I smell is sickeningly sweet floral that reminds me of something you'd give a little girl for play perfume. Thank goodness the smell evaporates so quickly or I would have had to take a shower. I'd maybe like this scent in a hand lotion or a candle, but in a perfume it's just way too much. I felt like I could actually taste it. And not in a good way. Normally I love B&BW, but they lost me on this one.
