I was sorely disappointed in this fragrance on me. After reading many reviews I was expecting a lovely spicy sweet winter or autumn scent, but on my skin I got a very fresh floral honeysuckle fragrance. It was amazing just how strong the honeysuckle stood out on me from start to finish. I tried it in warmer weather, so perhaps will try it again in the cooler months to see if that makes any difference. Oh well, the search is still on for my HG fragrance.

I am currently revisiting this fragrance and loving it. It certainly is a sweet powdery fragrance but I find it soft, feminine, clean and very wearable. It also find it to be a scent for all occasions for me, work, home, or out having fun. I'm not sure how long this love will last, as I tend to move on quickly with fragrances, but for now it's pretty much HG status.

Yep, I'd have to agree with other reviewers that this is a lighter version of Lancome Hypnose. Powdery, vanilla scent. It's nice but I already have Hypnose, so therefore would not purchase it.

This one is well done but unfortunately not for me. On me it smells like Halle Berry or a lighter version of Opium. I only tried the tester and decided not to buy it. The fragrance did last quite well on my skin and clothes.

This one smells like a man's fragrance on me. It has a fresh, woody, spicy scent, but I just feel it's too masculine for me. I prefer something a little more girlie. The deep red bottle is nice.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Victoria Beckham Signature Story for Her EDT
ShellyMum 9/23/2010 8:27:00 PM
I was a bit disappointed with this fragrance. I bought it un-sniffed because it was on sale for $20. On my skin, the initial spray briefly smells like SJP Lovely. Then after a few minutes it starts to smell like D&G Light Blue. It stayed smelling very similar to Light Blue thereafter. I use about 6 sprays because I find the scent isn’t lasting and has very little sillage. Overall, it’s a nice fresh, light fragrance but nothing too special in my opinion. I’d rather just buy Light Blue I think.

Lip Gloss -Bobbi Brown - Lip Tint in Punch
ShellyMum 9/8/2010 11:36:00 PM
BOO HOO, why oh why has this lovely product been discontinued?? It is my HG (still have a small amount left). I bought it many times over. It was the perfect natural colour for me, fantastic moisturisation for my lips, great texture and lasted really well for a gloss. I love/loved it. If anybody out there knows of something comparable in colour, moisture and texture... please let me know. I will miss it terribly once I finish my last 1/4 tube. Thanks.

This cream is really nice. It is very moisturising on my skin. The smell reminds me of Bailey's Irish Cream (alcohol beverage) for some reason LOL. Overall I like this product and would use it again.

Conditioner -Organix - Vanilla Silk

Organix shampoos and conditioners were such a BIG disappointment for me. I have used 3 different ones (you think I’d have learned my lesson after the first!!!!) and they were all really terrible on my hair. The reason for me is:- the conditioners are just not conditioning at all. With the conditioner on my hair I couldn’t get the comb through my hair. It just seems they have no detangling or moisturising properties at all. These products smell absolutely amazing and lure you in, but I would not recommend any of them for people who like moist/slippery conditioners that comb through well and leave the hair actually conditioned when dry. I give this 1 lippie, just for the smell alone.

Fragrances -Coty - Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani - G
ShellyMum 7/19/2010 7:06:00 AM
The smell of this fragrance reminds me exactly of the coconut oil from The Body Shop. It is a tropical coconut fragrance, but I don't find it overly sweet. It is a nice enough smell, but nothing exceptional to me. I do love the little doll bottle/s. They are all very pretty.

Fragrances -Avon - Bond Girl 007

I really like this perfume. I agree with previous reviewers that it smells very similiar to D&G Light Blue. It's an orangy, fresh kind of scent to my nose. I think it's well worth a try if you like fresh, fruity fragrances. I found the lasting power quite good. I also have the body wash and lotion, which are very true to the scent and obviously help with the lasting power when used together. Well done Avon!

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - With Love by Hilary Duff
ShellyMum 6/28/2009 10:31:00 PM
This one smells like a caramel milkshake to me. It's a very sweet foody scent. I'm a fan of sweet gourmand scents like Fantasy, Pink Sugar, etc, and this one definitely fits into that category IMO. The drydown also has a bit of an earthy smell (perhaps the amber). I will keep this one in my rotation of yummy scents for quite a while I'd say!

As others have mentioned, this one is another gourmand, sweet, vanilla scent. I can't seem get enough of it at the moment - yummy. I'm also a fan of Pink Sugar, Fantasy, etc... and it's definitely in the same category as these, although each still has it's own unique smell to me. I do love this scent but find it slightly too overwhelming sometimes. I find I cannot wear it every day and only need a small spray of it. It's quite a strong juice.
