Fragrances -Chanel - Chance
lilysdoll 8/4/2004 10:12:00 PM
I am not sure what all the fuss is about this one. I think Chanel just did this to get in on the fruity young scent thing. Seems like everyone is..sad to see a house like Chanel do it too.

Fragrances -Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle

I wish I could get on board with the fans of this scent. But it gives me a migraine everytime. It is just a heavy and sickening scent to me. I understand that if you can stick it out to the drydown its nice. But sadly for me I never can make it there before I am down and out with a headache.

Fragrances -Chanel - Allure for women
lilysdoll 8/4/2004 10:07:00 PM
This was the start of a new image in Chanel fragrance. And its just gorgeous..a bit on the sweet side. But I have tried at least 100 scents and picked this one. A classic from day one. The Chanel for our generation..like #5 was to a generation before. This one is clean and alluring for sure. Not too sexy for everyday though. I have the EDT, EDP and the parfum. I think in its pure forms its the best. But the EDT does not disappoint. This is a musthave scent. Its just so Chanel. Get some.

Fragrances -Cacharel - Anais Anais
lilysdoll 8/4/2004 10:03:00 PM
What can you say about a total classic..this scent is so many things..Feminine, Lingering, Unique, Special, Pretty, Ageless, and Wonderful. This scent is a complicated one..it has floral notes, leather, and green notes all at the same time. But somehow all of that comes together in a gorgeous bottle that never looks empty on your vanity. This one is one of the great ones...it will stand the test of time. Try it and see.

I cant believe the same people who have brought us such great scents have come up with this. It seems like a cheap attempt to grab the young crowd. I am in my 30s. The bottle is so ugly and the scent is way to sickening. I cant even tell what it is that smells so sweet..but its really nothing special. Dont hold it against them..try Noa or Anais Anais..both stellar scents.

Oh come on now..yet another fruity based scent. I really expected alot more from this one. Smelled on the sharp and sour side to me. No thanks.

I am not sure about what to say..this one is not a bad scent if you love love love gardenias. But it to me had a nauseating quality to it. It lasts and lingers wonderfully. So if you like it overall a good scent because it doesnt fade. I think its just way too much.

Fragrances -Calvin Klein - Sheer Obsession EDP
lilysdoll 8/4/2004 9:51:00 PM
This is one time when I actually think a company made a scent sheer. Today there are all these sheer and intense scents on the market..and alot of them dont even resemble the original. This one takes the same nice scent of the original and lightens it up. Its a terrific version and more wearable to me for today. Not dated or too heavy. If you loved the original but think its too much these days..try this..its a keeper.

Fragrances -Calvin Klein - Obsession
lilysdoll 8/4/2004 9:47:00 PM
Wow..this was my signature fragrance for years in the 80's. I loved it..loved the scent the name the whole deal. But I recently revisited this one and I totally cant do it. I think the scent is okay..but it really comes off too dated and heavy. Funny how we change. I live in Florida too so maybe it the hot weather that doesnt go with this either.

Fragrances -Calvin Klein - Eternity for Women

When this first came out I think we were all intrigued. Great marketing as always. But this scents is so sickening sweet. Its just too heavy. Not even in a dated way. Just not pleasant stuff.

This stuff really works to keep lips moist. It also will heal up chapped lips. All in all a great musthave in your cosmetic drawer item.

Treatments (Eye) -Avon - Anew Ultimate Eye Cream
lilysdoll 8/4/2004 9:39:00 PM
This eye cream is way to heavy. It almost feels like tugging to apply it. And on top of that..I saw no difference in the condition under my eyes. You would think it would be and excellent hydrator..nope. The jar is not so nice either.

Mascara -Almay - Almay Bright Eyes Mascara
lilysdoll 8/4/2004 9:36:00 PM
I really expected this to be better. Almay usually is decent stuff. But this clumped and was so heavy feeling to me. I had to return it. I never do that..but I just couldnt stand throwing it out.

lilysdoll 8/4/2004 9:34:00 PM
This is a very effective foot cream. I have tried many and this really works. I could live with out the powder scent. But its alot better than the usual minty foot creams. Nice product..you can find it at TJ Maxx alot.

I so wanted to like this and have tried it so many times. I found that it does give a nice radiance to the skin. But I have some dry areas of my face and it totally made them look drier. If it works for you..go for it.
