Moisturizers -Olay - Total Effects-Fragrance Free
luxlover79 1/15/2011 8:45:00 AM
This is the best moisturizer I've tried, my skin feels instant comfort upon first application. I regret the times that i got tempted to try new facial creams, I always go back to Olay. It really works on giving ur skin the glow and smoothness. The facial wash alone makes the skin soft and moisturised, it would give best results to use them together. My skin is combination and this gives my skin just enough moisture, I don't get very oily and it works perfect as make-up base. In my opinion, this works better for me than the Regenerist line.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Satin Rose de Mai
luxlover79 10/28/2010 9:37:00 AM
I like this crisp and fresh rose scent. The scent was captured without the old grannyish rose smell. It's not strong and nauseating like many floral scents out there. The bottle was very feminine. This is the kind of scents I love about Victorias Secret.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Limited-edition Dream Angel Heavenly Flowers™ Sheer Fragrance Mist
luxlover79 9/28/2010 12:07:00 PM
I love this new Dream Angels Scent! It's like sunshine in a bottle. This sheer mist version has the right balance of flowery smell, it's not overpowering nor headache inducing. I smell honeysuckle for sure but lighter and airy. The bottle is very cute and young. It's an innocent scent that's very wearable, specially on laid back days when I want to slip into my sundress.

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals ALL
luxlover79 4/30/2010 1:33:00 PM
This is a great product and the best mineral powder I've tried. I discovered this from a girlfriend who had the flawless face on her photo and I asked what was she wearing. Unfortunately I can't buy this in my country but gladly I got mine when I went to the US. It's very lightweight and my face has glowing finish after application. It's easy to blend also which I love for on-the-go moments when I can't spend longer time for getting my make-up done. I have veins appearing on my face and they're not visible when I use this.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Girls' Night Sheer Fragrance Mist
luxlover79 4/30/2010 1:05:00 PM
When I discovered this Secret Moments line from my ebay sellers online, I got so anxious to try. I read reviews and the rave was about Room 504 (big time) and Island Escape comes second. I got those 2 and this Girl's Night which were the only ones available from my seller. Room 504 is a big disappointment on its sillage,smells good but I'm not happy with a scent that only my nose can smell coz it's too close on my skin and fades fast. Island Escape is a faint version of Beauty Rush Pool Party Coolada Mist(which i don't like much), anyone who has these 2 on hand should try and compare. They are very similar.....just different names....just like many reviewers say that VS keeps the cycle of same scents in different names and packagings. Anyways, on my comparison, the Beauty Rush Coolada lasts way longer than Island Escape. Girl's Night is the best among the 3 I bought. Very lovely, feminine, and I get whiffs of the scent even after 3-4 hours. In my opinion, it's original too, I haven't tried a VS or BBW spray with the same exact smell. I like peony on body mists coz they smell fresh and girly. I love this amazing creation! I'll repurchase....if it will not be discontinued, ha ha ha!

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Island Waters
luxlover79 4/30/2010 1:03:00 AM
I got the Island Waters body mist and was pretty surprised that it's not as coconutty as the usual coconut scent releases of VS and BBW. There's an "antibiotic syrup" smell when I sniff the spray cap, but the medicine smell isn't present once sprayed on the skin. The pineapple and coconut were mixed in balanced that created a sweet and fresh, truely summery smell. I haven't been so fond of buying VS Secret Garden body mists lately because they tend to smell all the same, but Island Waters changed my mind for now specially that the packaging is nicer too. I don't live in the US so I buy my stuff online, ordering is always a risk for me. Gladly this one is a pleasant smell. I wouldn't repurchase coz there's a better beach scent on my body mist collection.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Sheer Fragrance Mist in Room 504
luxlover79 4/22/2010 2:06:00 PM
I was SO intrigued by the name and got excited that this Secret Moments line was Alessandra Ambrosio's picks. I like this scent, though it's generic in my opinion. I'm pretty sure I smelled another perfume like this in my life. It's fresh despite the amber note in it. I want to give 4 lippies for this product, but the sillage was very poor compare to sheer mists of VS Dream Angels line which I love. On summer, I usually go for body mists to cool me off and it's a bonus when the smell stays. Room 504 fades quickly on me, I have to retouch spraying for people to notice its pleasant smell.

Fragrances -Bath and Body Works - Twisted Peppermint Body Splash
luxlover79 4/22/2010 1:51:00 PM
I LOVE BBW......BUT this scent didn't impress me. It's like i rubbed a doublemint gum all over me. Maybe it's just me but the vanilla was so faint, almost absent in this scent. I like the packaging though, very cute christmas ball design. I probably should have gave this body mist a 2nd chance to see if I'll grow liking it, but to bad I gave it away already. Festive Vanilla Fig, Yuletide Pear Vanilla and Harvest Berry are my BBW holiday favorites.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Beauty Rush Pool Party - Coolada
luxlover79 4/16/2010 2:14:00 PM
I'm not realy digging the smell of this, too much coconut for me. It's not too bad but I wish there's fruit smell balanced with the coconut. But I like this mist form than original double mists from Beauty Rush coz they're oily. Plus the mist form lasts longer and will really cool you off on hot summer days. I would wear this right on the beach.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Dream Angels Heavenly
luxlover79 4/14/2010 2:16:00 PM
This smells OK to me and its overrated in my opinion. I love Dream Angels line but I don't understand why Heavenly beat its sisters which mostly smelled better. I like powdery scents but the this one has the tendency to smell like "pee" coz its strong. I can still wear it though, it's still an OK perfume to wear.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Dream Angels Halo
luxlover79 4/14/2010 2:06:00 PM
This is my favorite Dream Angels scent right now. I got the fragrance mist after reading positive reviews here. I imagine a real floating angel wearing Halo :) This is simply lovely. This mist is doing a great job staying on my skin for hours. I would purchase this again 100%.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Dream Angels Heavenly Enchanted Sheer Fragrance Mist
luxlover79 4/14/2010 1:58:00 PM
I like this fragrance mist although it doesn't last long unlike the other dream angels scents I got. I'm actually not sure if the scent sillage is the culprit or the smell is just too faint. I had to agree with one of the reviewers below that there's a "dirty nickel" smell in it on the drydown. I didn't realize it till I concentrated on sniffing, it's not prominent. But don't let it discourage you coz it's honestly a feminine and lovely scent. The bottle is indeed gorgeous! So far, I'm liking the VS Dream Angels line. They all smell sexy to me.

Fragrances -Salvatore Ferragamo - Incanto Shine
luxlover79 4/13/2010 2:09:00 PM
Incanto Shine and Incanto Bliss are both great buys I had, that I can't wait to have all the fragrances in this Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto line. Mostly of fresh scents don't stay long, for the reasons that they're simply fresh and simple I guess. But I'm hands down with the sillage of these 2 Incantos. I smell them on me the whole day and the smells are consistent. And also, I would give the bottle designs a 10 if I could, so lovely!

Fragrances -Bulgari - BLV
luxlover79 4/13/2010 1:44:00 PM
I love Bvlgari Perfumes and this one is my favorite powdery scent. Smells clean and fresh and it's complex enough. I'll categorize it as an everyday, day to night kind of fragrance. The bottle has a masculine touch but still beautiful to display on ur dresser.
