This bottle is beautiful and very ergonomic, but the scent is too strong and spicy for me. It is a mature scent, suited for winter, but still not interesting enough as some of the other fragrances in this category. It's not quite oriental enough or musky enough, just plain too spicy. The Sheer version of this is totally different, much nicer and pleasant, with more top notes. I just can't believe that the Sheer version is still called Armani code. The Sheer one (since it's not listed in Total Beauty yet - is more like a cross between Celine Dion's Belong with Miracle.

This is not really recommended if you have oily lids like me, since it creases after a few hours of wear. I don't care much for the cooling effect, especially when the weather is cold. I like to travel with this since it's very portable, I can do the smokey eye effect effortlessly smudging with my finger using the black or the gray shade. After a while, the crayon shrinks and it gets harder to sharpen without breaking off. It could be better, and they need to expand on the shade selection.

I have oily skin, so this creme is great for me because it's not greasy nor too thick. For people with dry skin, this may be too light esp in winter, but it maybe OK in the summer. The fragrance and feel is excellent. It absorbs into skin very quickly and spreads very smoothly. It's a simple creme that I like to mix in my Biomedic Vitamin C powder into it without reacting. I prefer the pump lotion better, and the price is high for a simple formula, but aesthetics are nice.

Most things IMO are not worth the hype, but Black Honey is truely worth the hype. From the sleek, ergonomic, portable packaging design to the hint of color, shiny glossy lips it gives you, it is a perfect ten. It doen't have a bad smell like some lipsticks and glosses can have, which is a major turn off for me when something goes on my lips. Don't let the color of the stick scare you because it goes on very sheer. The feel is great on lips and it lasts longer than most lipglosses do.

It is a good day creme since it has SPF15. It seems to moisturize all day because it's on the heavy side. It's thick and slightly on the oily side, so I won't be able to use this in the summer when I really need the SPF. They should come up with no sunscreen version that I would be able wear at night. The pump style is very easy, portable, and hygenic since it's air-free. Olay total effects 7x is a much better product for similar price range.

This creme was terrible, especially for it's price. It felt greasy and oily no matter how much I tried to rub it in, and the creme is hard that I had to dig into the jar. The fragrance is not that great, the BBW signature collections have better scents. BBW has a great return policy, so I returned this one after being fed up with it just coating my skin and everything I touched afterwards.

This is better than the lotion counterparts because it's much thicker and the tube is so ergonomic to use. The plastic feels good and the tip is easy to control just the right amount of product that comes out. The creme is very hydrating and easily absorbed. Some of the great fragrances are Sea Island Cotton and Country Apple, but they have so many more great scents (as well as few overly sweet/synthetic ones). Get it on sale and this is a wonderful buy.

This lotion is not tacky, absorbs into skin well, spreads smoothly, and lasts long. However I like the body creme better which is a tube that's easier to squeeze out and have thicker consistency. This is slightly runny and the cap gets unsightly after a while. I love the fragrance island cotton, but many of their other fragrances are way too sweet. If you get it on sale, you can get an unbeatable deal for the quality.

This eyeshadow is very silky and finely milled, but not powdery or talcy. They have over 80 shades to choose from, not just bunch of matte color like many department brands. They have intersting pearly shades, and enough shades for smokey eyes and colorful looks too. I stocked up during buy 1 get 1 free sales with their coupons, which happens quite a lot. The compact is very ergonomic and portable. Works best when you use an eyeshadow primer to give impact to the true color of this wonderful eyeshadow. I hope they come up with more shades for me to keep buying up :)

This was my signature scent in my late 20's because I was going out alot and meeting lots of new people. It is pleasant for both males and females, not too heavy and spicy, but not not too light and sweet. If you like Lancome's Miracle, you'll probably like this. It has interesting dimentions, good amount of middle notes, lasts longer than many of the top-heavy fragrances. For the price, this is a great buy. It's nice that they offer smaller sizes for portability.
