Again, like the basic Bobbi Brown lip gloss, this is a good product but has a terrible brush applicator. The brush has a tendency to "fan out" and this can make for a messy application. Constant trimming of the splayed bristles leads to a skimpy applicator that doesn't work. It's also hard to use the complete bottle of product because of the brush. The colors are nice, even and not sticky or tacky. The amount of shimmer is just right. I like the gloss but NOT the brush. Hopefully this brush applicator will be redesigned and work much better.

This lip gloss in itself is a good product. It is smooth, fairly long wearing for a gloss, color true and does not smudge or feel tacky. However, the brush is small and has a tendency to "fan out" after a few uses. This can lead to smearing during application due to the stray brush hairs that stick out. Other than the brush this is a good product and I would buy it again. I'd like to see a redesign of the brush in the future.

Bobbi Brown has some very good quality makeup and is a top favorite of mine. However, this mascara is a bottom pick for me. For a mascara that is supposed to do "everything" it did nothing. My lashes looked no different than they do without mascara. No lengthening, thickening and no separation. Any extra coats only led to clumping. It tended to be flaky throughout the day too. A bad product from a quality line.

I got 2 uses out of this product and was well pleased. It really does "clean up" the hair nicely. Fragrance is nice and light, too. Then the nozzle stopped working. There was no way to fix this problem so I returned it to the store and explained what happened. I was allowed to exchange it but the same thing happened again! I got maybe 3 uses out of the new can before the nozzle went out. It's just not worth the hassle to keep returning/exchanging this product. Too bad the can/nozzle is cheap because it's a good dry shampoo. I'll buy a hassle free product from now on.

I LOVE this perfume. It is a top fave of mine. I just love the scent and never tire of it. Classic, elegant, beautiful, perfect...this is how I describe this perfume. This is the perfume I wear for formal and dressy occasions. I find that I often reach for this perfume, or the Elixer, for daytime as well. It is a perfume I will always have on hand. I get compliments on how nice it is all the time.Truly a classic!

Chanel No. 5 is one of my top favorite perfumes so I added this one to my collection of Chanel No. 5 products. I am so glad I did. The scent is great for daytime or anytime a lighter version of Chanel No. 5 is desired. Not overpowering at all. Great for summer conditions. It's not as long lasting as a perfume but it is still lasts all day.

I have never been a big user of after bath powders but this product changed my mind. Chanel No. 5 is one of my top perfumes so I figured I would give this a try after liking the texture of it in a store sample. It is so smooth and soft. It is not at all chalky or cakey. You hardly know your are wearing it. It leaves behind a soft scent that is not overpowering at all. It can be worn alone or with Chanel No. 5 body lotion or perfume to help the scent last longer. I am very glad I purchased this product and will do so again.

This lip stain has its good and bad. Laura Mercier has good products as a whole so I was expecting more from this product. For one, it's application can be messy unless you use a lip brush. Not everyone wants to tote a lip brush along with them. It is also a rather dry texture, drier than other stains out there. The stain also made my lips feel dry like I needed a balm on top of this. The color was nice but didn't wear or fade evenly. It did do better when mixed with a balm. The result was a nice, sheer color wash on my lips. Maybe future reformulations, if any, can be made to be less drying.

This is a basic mascara only. It doesn't lengthen, thicken or add volume. I don't quite get where the "glossy" part comes in because I never noticed any naturally glossy look. The color is nice and the mascara applies evenly. It seems to dry out faster than most other mascaras and well before the 3 months of recommended mascara usage are up. I don't pump the mascara wand so I'm going to guess the formula and texture are a little drier. It doesn't clump, but it can flake. Not a mascara I would purchase again.

This lipstick isn't what I'd call long wearing. It doesn't last any longer than an ordinary lipstick. However, the color is true and it doesn't smear or clump. It applies evenly and fades evenly. It does have a soft shine finish but that fades fast. Overall it's just an average lipstick.
