This is an intensely comforting blend of vanilla and little touches of ginger and ylang ylang, and it is absolutely amazing. Instead of smelling like a stale cupcake you get a warm, true vanilla scent. It is a much better and more layered fragrance than the line's typical Happily Ever After. The staying power could be much better, but with this being my absolute favorite vanilla scent, I really don't care.

The color is way too purple after it dries. I bought this primarily for a lip stain, but I look really artificial after it dries--purple lips are not flattering on me, apparently. Furthermore, the application mechanism is ridiculous--wastes SOOO much product. For something so expensive, I'd expect Stila to develop a more sensible package. I mean, it's not that complicated, is it? I own at least 10 lip/cheek stains and have never encountered this problem. Overall, I just expected more from this

This is a good, basic eye cream. It's very rich and creamy and feels great on dry skin. Overall, it is a great moisturizer and leaves my eye area looking fresh and dewy. However, it doesn't do anything for fine lines or dark circles. If all you need is a basic eye cream, I would definitely recommend this product. I will continue to use this product until it's gone but I will not repurchase it, as I need a cream that is more of a treatment.

This is amazing!! I feel that it is very much worth the price. I applied this to freshly shampooed, towel blotted hair. I started with a nickel sized amount, and had to take about 3 of that same amount to fully saturate. This is a miracle, though. Usually it takes me gobs and gobs of handfuls for me to feel like a treatment has coated every hair strand of mine. I have very thick, very bleached bleached bleached, dry, damaged shoulder length hair. Immediately, to my amazement, my hair felt silky while the treatment was on. While rinsing out, I wasn't sure if it was supposed to leave a 'residue' feel... I keep rinsing and rinsing anyway. The true test comes down to how my hair felt when dry. Much to my surprise, my hair feels so silky. It feels hydrated, it looks healthier, stronger. There was less breakage when I styled.

Love, love, LOVE this one - this is one of my go-to fragrances. Contrary to the name, it's not much of a fruity, "punch" smell to me at all, just a nice blend of warm, carribean spices. Not overwhelming at all, just very mellow and classy - and kind of complex. I always get lots of compliments when I'm wearing this.

Calms redness overnight, but clogs pores because of its heavy, thick texture. Balsam peru isn't the best ingredient for skin (it can cause dermatitis when applied topically) and there's a lot of it in this cream, so I only use it in case of extreme redness emergency. There are better anti redness products out there-- some that won't clog pores. This is too much for me - too bad because it sounded perfect when I was reading about it online.

This product has proven to be a life-saver the past few times I've used it. This does leave what feels like a sticky weird film after, which freaked me out and made me want to wash it off the first couple times I used it. But don't wash it off!! My skin is very sensitive and prone to break out, and this did not break me out. On the contrary! When used at night, and simply rinsed off with a wash cloth, in the morning my skin looks drastically calmer - less red and less bumps. So much more evenly toned and smoother. Plus, my skin seems not to produce as much oil over night after using it. I really find this stuff to be amazing. My skin had been irritated a few nights ago, and seemed to be getting worse, until I used this stuff and.. presto. The next morning it was all going away. This truly does what it says. Try it! Don't be afraid.

These look fun and awesome, but I unfortunately found them a little boring. The color swirls together when you try to apply it to your lid and just looks blah. I paid way too much for a few colors that Rimmel easily duplicates for a fraction of the price. I love Too Faced, but these shadows didn't win with me.

This is my number one fragrance for nighttime. Smells sweet and seductive and risque in an innocent way. I wouldnt wear this during the day, but like I said, I love it for hot summer nights!

I have considerable scarring on my face, and this does nothing for them. I am religious in applying it, and it just feels thick, heavy, and annoying when I go to bed. Sorry, but I shouldn't have wasted my money on this. I do think it might do something for 'brown spots' as people say... but as for scarring, look elsewhere.
