I wanted this for a while but I thought I'd wait until I finish the glossing cream that I do adore. It's a perfectly good thing I didn't purchase this because it doesn't smell very pleasant. I sprayed it on me and the first thing that came to mind was that it had a rancid smell and while it wasn't strong, it was my hair that smelled like that so I would notice it. My best friend agreed that it wasn't a pleasant scent. I also didn't like that it was a bit greasy, that it didn't absorb fully into the hair to look glossy and moisturized instead of an oil slick and weight it down a little. I dislke hair products with alcohol because in the long term, it contributes to stripping color, frizz, and dryness so I'm avoiding this for good from now on.

I would say that these lipsticks fit well into a budget but aren't the best in the market. First of all, the shade selection is limited. And when I say limited, I mean very. There is probably two shades of red, one being maroon and the other red then there's two or three shades of pink, a mauve or two, a nude or brown, and couple others and that's the end of it. They are pretty long lastick but they do transfer so be very careful about that. The other setback is that I've found a couple shades to be so pretty in the tube only to find it was too frosty in finish on my lips. The tubing, in my honest opinion is great, I think it makes it more "prestigious" looking and there's a color indicator which is also lipstick at the bottom of the tube that you can use when you're done with the full stick.

The last cleanser I used from Cetaphil gave me the creeps whenever I looked at my skin and felt the waxy film on my face and noticed to see how rough my skin has gotten post usage probably around two days later. I decided to give this a try and I really liked it. The bar runs into a creamy lather and washes off all my makeup and doesn't leave residue behind leaving any irritating deposits or leaving that film over my face but the best part was that I didn't see redness nor did I experience dryness or itching with this product. I do have hypersensitive skin that is acne prone so this keeps everything calm and less stressful for my skin.

Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash Lengthening Washable Mascara
Tuck Those Dollar Bills Back In Your Wallet
If you really like length, this might help a tad bit but if you're looking for any volume, don't count on it for much definition at all. The first application made me dislike this product already because the wand is hardy sturdy to sweep your eyelashes over with product; it bends so you'll have sort of an uncomfortable time trying to get an uneven application and also "defining" your lashes. The editor is correct, the formula is thin so you'll need a couple or mor coats in order to see improvement and by then it is already clumping together because the application is untidy on the lashes.

I loved the sweetness of this perfume without the vanilla burst that I am not too fond of whenever certain companies want to sweeten the scent of a perfume, they combined different categories of notes for this one I believe because in one hand, I believe I can smell a pinch of spice like an oriental scent and then in another an almost mossy wood scent. I definitely am crazy about oriental scents and this one scored high in my book. I bought this a while back and it was my everyday perfume for meetings, the mall, luncheons, and dinner... I just loved it. I also love the eccentric assymmetrical geometric structure of the bottle, it's just beautiful

The scent of stepping out of the shower while the scent of shampoo and soap gets delivered through the air. That's what this perfume is to me, a clean refreshing scent that makes me think of a breath of fresh air whenever I spritz it. It's pleasant, light, and very much an everyday fragrance that I can pair with jeans and a t-shirt and it's matched. This was one of my high school fragrances and it served well until I got into another phase of fragrance notes but this is still a classic that I am pleased to recognized whenever someone has it on.

If they bottle grace, this would be a possibility. Don't let the bottle deceive you, as much as it looks like a man's cologne, a mist of this delivers a feminine euphoria. The notes are sweet, they remind me of something soft oriental like mixed with florals, a combination of those two that extract such a light endearing fragrance that I like. This is so soft, you can spray it on a pillow and have the smell linger onto you and you'll have a subtle scent that lasts.

It's maddening going to a shop and wandering what all kinds of different fragrances will smell on you, I'm so indecisive but this, I absolutely fell immediately for inside the page of a magazine, I rubbed this on the inner part of my wrist and my my, it was a match made in heaven. I just recently bought this and I'm cherishing every drop as the place only had the 1 fl. oz. size bottle which either way, I wanted one of these and so I took it home and it's one of my favorite perfumes now of all time because it's classy and can still be fun so it's versatile and wearable for anything and anywhere. I dread over flowery notes and sour scents so this was definitely perfect because I love oriental notes that have a bit of woodiness and this one is so sweet and great. I like that the bottle didn't come in a tacky over odd shape but a subtle dimensional square and symmetrical figure, a touch of elegance anywhere it sit atop of and ready to disperse an aroma of goodness

I used to eye these whenever I'd enter a Sephora shop but I had never paid enough mind to purchase one until one day I ran out of my MAC lipgloss in my favorite shade. So I was browsing through the store and found the color selection in my perfect taste especially since I'm not too fond of the opaque look of lipstick or how drying it feels. I got this first in grapefruit and the first opinion I had of this was that it was thick and somewhat sticky when I tested it out but I realized that if I apply it thinly to my lips that they don't adhere at all and it doesn't feel heavy plus the benefit of enhancing my lip color because it's sheer yet pigmented so the result is a lush natural like finish with a hint of color. I went to the grocery store with this and ran errands for the day, this was my first day taking the gloss out for a spin and four hours later, I realized that it was still on and the pigment had lasted. So I'm loving this now but the hardest part is accepting that the product starts from the middle of the tube instead of the bottom and this is the amount I'm shelling out twenty dollars for that probably won't last me too long because I'm liking it so much that I'll probably be using this as my daily lip product.

I love this lipstick because it really is so soft and creamy and it doesn't make my lips chapped, thank goodness! The pigment is great and it lasts well through out the day as far as staying power and it has a pleasant scent that other lipsticks usually don't have. I dislike most lipstick scents but this one I didn't mind too much, it reminded me of rose petals actually. The tubing does look like it would come from a Barbie train case but nonetheless, the product is excellent and I'd rather buy three or five of these instead of one high end lipstick that doesn't perform as well as this. Reapplications are minimal when I use this product.
