Lotions/ Creams -Bodycology - Brown Sugar Vanilla Body Cream
JenJenofAz 2/22/2011 12:55:00 PM
Perhaps I got a BAD bottle, but this smelled too much like play-doh. Found it to be thick and sticky. It is similar to Bath & Body Works Brown Sugar, which I also didn't like. SOOOO, I mixed it into VS's Amber Romance lotion. NOW I can wear it!

Deodorants -Avon - night magic roll on
JenJenofAz 2/19/2011 5:14:00 PM
I agree, this doesn't do much. And maybe I got a bad one, because the scent was SO light that I could barely detect any at all! NOT a fav! However(and quite shockingly!), I LOVE the Imari roll on! THAT does last ALL day!

Nice berry scent, but a bit too sweet for me. Don't get much of the violet, mostly berry.

Fragrances -Avon - Odyssey

FUGLY bottle. But the scent is so unique, unusual, and intriguing! I wanna like it, I wanna hate it, that I'm in the middle of the road, wondering............As I keep taking sniffs. It is a rare scent. I don't believe I've smelled this scent on too many women, but it is a nice floral. And it's feminine. I find it to be a soapy/powdery clean musky scent that is a bit strong, so I'd go lightly with this(you don't want to use it as an all-over body spray!). And I don't get "old lady". I mean, enough of that already! GEESH! I mean, it is a "mature" scent, but it's not only for the geriatric crowd! On the right person, of ANY age, I think this would be a lovely feminine scent! No fruity candy stuff here! And THANK GAWD! This is sure to stand out and make a subtle statement. Which is classy! UPDATE:Thought I'd mention that this kinda reminds me a bit of Rare Pearls, but NOT as strong! So, if you want something similar to that, I'd say this is kinda close.

I kinda really like this! It is a classy scent, reminding me also of Samsara! A nice light fruity-floral. Slightly musky.

Fragrances -Avon - Imari Mystique

I think it smells like Imari Seduction and the original Imari. Nice, but I prefer the sweeter scent Imari Seduction.

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Country Apple Body Lotion
JenJenofAz 1/7/2011 10:57:00 PM
Along with Sensual Amber, I think this is another great scent. I find the others too overwhelmingly SWEET and STRONG and just plain CHEAP and STINKY. This is kinda subtle. A bit sweet and musky. But you can definitely smell the apple. It's a very uplifting and cheerful crisp apple scent. Not offensive at all, like some other sticky sweet apple scents are. This is kinda clean and fresh smelling. NICE!

All I got from this was a suntan lotion smell and some plastic play-doh fumes. Pass.

Gels/Soaps -Bath and Body Works - Brown Sugar and Fig Shower Gel
JenJenofAz 1/7/2011 10:48:00 PM
FRENCH FRIES??? OKAAAAY. To each her nose. I got maple syrup, like that sweet sticky stuff for pancakes and waffles? Yeah, so yummy to eat, but not to wear! TOO sweet, like TOO much caramel! I mean, who wants to walk around smelling like Mrs.Butterworth's? No thank you. I was really expecting something like Sensual Amber, but maybe a bit sweeter.....You know, with all that brown sugar going on? YUCKY. YUCK. YUCK. YUCKY!

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Sensual Amber- body lotion
JenJenofAz 1/7/2011 10:41:00 PM
Out of all their scents, this is one of the best! I have sniffed through the whole store, only thinking that this one would work, along with maybe their Country Apple scent. This is a light amber scent. Not overwhelming at all. Kinda musky and sweet. I do prefer VS Amber Romance though, as I get more of an amber-floral scent. However, Sensual Amber would be better at layering.

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Sweet Pea body Lotion
JenJenofAz 1/7/2011 10:36:00 PM
Not too bad from a lot of their other scents, just a bit TOO much! Too much floral! And it's strong! I also thought it was a bit too sweet. It is a bit pretty though, just not for me, as I prefer softer florals.

Lotions/ Creams -Bath and Body Works - Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Lotion
JenJenofAz 1/7/2011 10:33:00 PM
Not the worst, but certainly not great. To me, this smelled synthetic. Like a plastic doll smell. Someone else mentioned play-doh? Yep, that comes to mind as well. VERY soft on the vanilla.

Fragrances -Liz Claiborne - Spark
JenJenofAz 12/27/2010 9:44:00 PM
I can see the similarities to Obsession.......Kinda. This is more of a sweet and bubbly vanilla. I think of Michael Kors..............Even Glow by J.Lo, a bit. I didn't do well with Obsession. It just stank on me, but I really like Spark(as I do Michael Kors and even Glow by J.Lo). I usually detest most Liz Claiborne perfumes, so I was a bit surprised that I would like this, but I think this is one of the best of the whole bunch. Can't find it anywhere but online(beautyboutique.com). And it is affordable. I also think it is a bit masculine, but certainly NOT manly! I wouldn't want any man wearing this! I also recall Guess from the 90's as I had once wore it. That is most similar to Spark than Obsession. And it was even nicer than Obsession!

Eye Shadow -L.A. Colors - 6 color Metallic Eyeshadow in Sweet Pleasure
JenJenofAz 12/26/2010 7:53:00 PM
Oops.........Posted this somewhere else! Anyway, pretty kit with pinks, purples, mauves........Pretty with my hazel eyes, but they aren't very long lasting nor dark enough. But, I do have oily skin and nothing lasts very long anyway. Kit sucks to open though! Has a bit of sparkle to them. UPDATE:Purchased the "Dreamy" eyeshadow kit as well. But, because they disappear so quickly and are of a chalky quality, I'm bumpin' down to a 2.

Eye Shadow -L.A. Colors - 6 color Metallic Eyeshadow in Cafe Au Lait
JenJenofAz 12/26/2010 7:48:00 PM
I don't see this listed, so I'll post here. I have the 6 Color Kit in Sweet Pleasure. It has pinks, purples, and mauves. Pretty kit, but light. They also don't last very long. But, I do have extremely oily skin, so NOTHING will stay on past an hour anyway. SUCKS, but it is what it is. For a buck, this does the job. They also have a bit of sparkle to them.
