Well well, this was an innocent test on my skin... from the spritz on paper it had me. Lovely floral with a party kick of warmth. So yes please let's try this on my skin. It turned into alcohol cleaner/ mojito/ dipped in warm oatmeal???? I know this sounds completely crazy but this was not what I smelled on the spritz paper. Sad for me. But it is really nice on the right person. I totally dislike the bottle shape not cute.

This is the worst thing ever for contact lenses wearers. It made my eyes itchy and there's a terrible scent that causes my headaches. Terrible! I shouldn't have to scrubs my lashes to get this thing off and of course this is going to get in your eyes it's messy to remove. Raccoon mania. Never me again.

Tinted Moisturizer -Chanel - Hydramax tinted moisturiser SPF 15 SAND

This my friends is wonderful on me. Why? Because this doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation, It's SPF, the color match is more of a clean slate of a little sun. The MA she was caucasian with blue eyes and I'm Indian with olive caramel tan. She was wearing the same ONE. wow. Now that's a first for me. ARE YOU STILL READING LADIES lol!!!! Overall. Pleasant fresh scent that fades quickly, the feeling from putting it on then forgetting that you wearing something on your skin is fast. I love the tube, 56$ CDN Holy crap that's $$$ for me but it's totally worth it and for an SPF it didn't make my oily skin look like I dipped my face in olive oil!!! A light dew very nice. Do not ever Discontinue this Chanel!!!

In simple, this is a nice mask and my skin love this only in the cold season. For summer, it made my skin overly dewy and not the nice kind. Yes this does smell nice and it fades off quickly. Packaging is very travel/shower friendly.

Pressed Powders -Lancome - Color Ideal

rrcoolmama 6/29/2008 10:27:00 PM

So far this is a really one, it's holding up to the humidity of today(rainy plus 30C) and I only blotted once with a tissue. I'm tanned with olive skintone so I have w10 deep. This gives me a nice glow on my skin, not the bronzer look. more of a mild JLO lol. And I'm no fan of her but I love her glow. Lancome better not change this formula I have no reaction to this powder unlike many:(!!! I don't use the pad nor the mini brush that this comes with I use my own skunk brush way better. New- April 2010- I am still happy with this!

I just got this today and I love it. I have extremely exxagerated sensitive eyes and nose..yes I'm the one who get headaches after trying so many mascaras they all smell like tar or freshly done roof tops- not a joke.And, this one is simple. My lashes look like I just came out of the shower look. Clean looking. I'm happy- my eyes and nose are too as well-NO HEADACHES:) EDIT- Second purchase- This was terrible! Nothing happened to my lashes.

This is the only perfume that I have memories of time. From my high school days late80's. I wore this years later, I met my now husband who loves this on me and now again with 2 kids later I'm turning this to a memory scent for my kids. I truly love this scent it's cozy and classy. A real fragrance not a trend it's a classic!

Fragrances -Christian Dior - j'adore

Unusual but true, this perfume turns heads with a smile unfortunately way to common and some women enjoy it soooooooo much that they must forget to stop spritzing it on them because too much of this and you'll end up with a massive migraine that will last a week. The bottle is beautiful but the cap is not solid. Sad to say--it's no longer working on my skin.

I adore the first hour of this perfume but after that I'm screaming in my head to take a shower- it turns to a weird scent on me. I love the bottle it looks just like a dream capture...ironic twist Lise Watier has a perfume called capteurs de rêves...

There is something really nice about this blue- I looked at it and thought of a summer night type of blue/midnight with star sparkles...but unfortunately for me it seemed to faded worn alone not bad when I mix it but not great either. I would repurchase if I can't find something else in blues.

Maybe it's my skin but this made my skin oilier after less than an hour on my skin. Opposite to the other reviewer this made my foundation feel icky. and I use MAC foundation. for years and it has only felt icky with the combo of this moisturizer????? great packaging I love pump bottles but I will not repurchase this one.

Ok- this is my first loyal product a must have. I use this twice a year as a 30day cure- really radiant. No stings for me either. But there is 2 down fall- 1st- my husband completly hates the scent yes there is a scent depends on the nose....and my pillowcases hates it too. But the results are there:) I love this product.
