Fragrances -Escada - Magnetism
PINKSG 12/7/2007 8:41:00 PM
OK, thought I'd found my HG perfume then along comes Escada MAGNETISM. I have smelled many perfumes and own a few really good ones like Gucci 11, Princess. Even Victoria Beckham's perfume is yummy! But, I find myself at the Dept store looking for the new Gucci perfume which they didn't have. So, I'm just browsing not intending to buy when the saleslady asks what type of perfumes I like. She then says have you tried Magnetism, why no I haven't. Escada never was one I thought about . Well on the card it was like candy, so I told her to spray my wrist. Yumm, it was a little Pink Sugar, berries, fruity. I decide I have to have it and the lady says you will get so many compliments. She was 100% RIGHT! I went to the doc's office and every worker wanted to know who smelled so good. I think everyone there will be buying this perfume for Christmas. So, that says a lot and makes me feel very hot!! So, if for some reason you have missed smelling this perfume and like sweet, fruity-oriental, gourmand , cotton candy scents this is really the best out there. And let me be the first to say you smell delicious!!

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Baby Phat - Golden Goddess
PINKSG 8/27/2007 7:35:00 AM
This is one time I'm glad I didn't read the reviews ahead of time, well the negative ones that is. What to do on a rainy day? Shop at the mall at test fragrances. I was at Macy's and sprayed a few perfumes undecided went home. Well, I kept smelling a delicious sweet pear fragrance and knew it was Golden Goddess because it was the last one I sprayed , well drenched myself in. So, I went back to the mall and bought it. It's very sweet smelling and of course I couldn't pick the notes out so I came here to read the reviews. Huh? vanilla, patchouli would have never guessed. I wanted something different since I'm always into perfumes like Princess. This perfume reminds me a flight attendant who passed by and I thought wow she smells wonderful. I think I have captured it in Golden Goddess. Looks like this will be my scent for now at least. So, you can't always go by reading reviews you could miss out on a great fragrance. Glad I used my own judgement this time. Plus I love the name Golden Goddess and the bottle is cute.

Fragrances -Sonia Rykiel - Belle En Rykiel
PINKSG 7/24/2007 1:47:00 AM
Delicious scent!!!! Sensual, oriental, feminine. I'm a perfume addict and try lots of perfumes so to say this is a top 3 is saying alot. I can't handle strong perfumes, although I own Angel, I'm more the Gucci 11, Vera WAng Princess type. I compare all my new perfumes to those 2 and most of the time nothing compares. Until now, Belle En Rykiel has entered my new perfume life. I agree it stays close to the skin, so it makes a great scent for those normally who can't wear perfumes. It couldn't offend anyone it's just so inviting. I too was worried about the patchouli but it's not detectable. This dries down to a lovely warm amber vanilla scent. The bottle is modern, elegant cube in glass & metal with a mirror finish. I bought my bottle off ebay from Australia.Launched 2007. You can check I may put up a sample for swap.

Fragrances -Jil Sander - Style
PINKSG 7/11/2007 2:29:00 AM
A very sweet gal sent me a sample of this intoxicating fragrance. I kept thinking this is familiar and I finally figured it out. It smells exactly like Vera Wang Princess. I have Style on one wrist and Princess on the other and I can't detect much difference. I love Princess and own a bottle and now want to get a bottle of Style even though they are sisters. Huh, you learn something new everyday. Yummy fragrance!

Fragrance -Lancome - Hypnose Homme
PINKSG 4/25/2007 3:37:00 AM
Wonderful mens fragrance. I was at the mall with my 18 yr old son checking out fragrances. This is a brand new fragrance and one whiff my son was Oh yeah I like it. It's described as conservative and sensual. Notes are : mint, bergamot, calabrian mandarin, chinese cardamom seed, lavender, amber, musk, Indonesian patchouli. The lavender is sweetened by amber and resinous accents. The black chinese cardamom seed with amber and patchouli darken the jus with it's faint leathery and tea nuances. The spicy aspect is more fragrant than piquant or pungant. The minty note is quite persistent going from fresh to softly green and herbaceous. The drydowm is both warm and crisp. I can't quit smelling this fragrance I wonder if the womans version is this good. My son will definetly smell good and the ladies will enjoy it. Mens fragrances have come a long way, it's about time.

Fragrances -Ralph Lauren - Lauren Style
PINKSG 3/6/2007 9:05:00 AM
I agree with the last reviewer that it's pretty close to Gucci 11. I was at Rite-aid looking at the mini bottles and couldn't help buying it because it was pink. Not that I need another perfume but since I like RL Romance I thought I'd try it for $7.99. It's not as sweet as Gucci 11, a little softer of a scent. I still prefer my Gucci but if you thought Gucci was too sharp for you here's a weaker version. Classy, sophisticated, womanly like Gucci. Makes you feel pretty sexy. I like it more than RL ROMANCE. May one day purchase a full bottle. Worth a sniff MUA ladies.

Lipstick -Sue Devitt - Zimbabwe
PINKSG 3/6/2007 8:44:00 AM
my 1st Sue Devitt l/s and I love it. Bought this color based on the reviews. Really nice nude, more on the warm side with a touch of mauve. It's not a nude that washes you out. Perfect everyday l/s. Goes on smooth, I like the coverage. I have many nude lipsticks but I can see me using this one a lot. I can see me re-purchasing this color. Bought mine off ebay. I'm a PPP, COULD BECOME HG!

Mascara -mark - Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara
PINKSG 3/6/2007 8:33:00 AM
Well I finally got me a mark rep but no Tattoo Lash. So, I decided to try this one and why not with the good reviews, ,right? Huge disappointment, clumpy compared to Tattoo Lash. Flakes a lot and lashes turn wimpy. The brush is huge, I find it messy to apply. Won't be re-buying this one.

Mascara -mark - Tattoo Lash
PINKSG 2/10/2007 8:52:00 PM
Thanks to a swapper I finally got to try this mascara. I have been using it for a week and I LOVE it. I first curl my lashes with my Shiseido curler. After applying the tattoo lash I have SUPER LONG lashes. My lashes keep all the length from my curler. The brush is fab, you get every itty bitty lash in the corners. I apply eyeshadow to my lashes before the mascara and after 4 coats I have thick beautiful lashes. I was only doing 2 coats which didn't give fullness but now I got it. Just be careful because 4 coats can get clumpy. I do get a few flakes during the day, but minor. I have no trouble taking it off with jojoba oil. This mascara blew me away, I really have to stock up. mark is a great line can't wait to try more. This could end up HG. You really should try it if your in the hunt for a mascara.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Betsey Johnson
PINKSG 2/10/2007 8:15:00 PM
Just got a sample off ebay and like the last reviewer I thought it smelled similar to Britney's Fantasy. I gave my Fantasy away so can't compare, not sure why I didn't like it. I think it was too fruity. Betsey Johnson is really sweet, like candy. My other fav scent Princess has a warm sweetness. I would recommend Betsey Johnson to vanilla lovers. Perfumes I have bought before were Pink Sugar, Angel for reference. I will buy a big bottle of Betsey Johnson, it's really yummy! Comparing it to Pink Sugar it would be not as sweet, Pink Sugar can be too much.

Shampoo -Giovanni - Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo
PINKSG 1/29/2007 10:38:00 AM
I bought this for my 18 year old son. He went have his hair cut and came back giving me a message from the hairstylist. DANDRUFF!!Change your sons shampoo. It was really bad but he never told me anything. It's been a month and NO more dandruff. He does say his scalp tingles and burns but will continue using it since it works. Tea tree oil must be really good. Tea tree oil is great for clearing up his acne problems too.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Naked Lunch
PINKSG 12/8/2006 11:43:00 PM
Have been using this everyday for weeks as an all over wash. I have experimented with so many e/s combinations that I finally found my HG. Steep on my lids paired with NAKED LUNCH. I'm PPP and this works so well for me as a natural look. Now that I found my HG l/s Estee LAUDER Vanilla truffle, a nude beige, I have the perfect look. I will continue buying Naked lunch.

Fragrances -Ralph Lauren - Romance
PINKSG 11/20/2006 1:46:00 AM
Sophistication in a bottle. My hubby picked another womanly fragrance for me on my 2nd anniversary. Last year it was Gucci 11 and I was surprised to like it. He amazes me that he would go to the mall and pick me another fragrance. He's spoiling me big time now. First sniff I could understand why he would pick Romance, it reminded me of Gucci 11 a little. Spicy-floral, just a classy scent. I am totally in love with RL Romance and the body lotion is so nice too. I recommend to anyone to try this even if you are like me and enjoy vanilla gourmand scents. It's nice to have the vanilla scents but you have to have a spicy=floral too. Yumm!

Lipstick -Estee Lauder - Pure Color Long lasting lipstick Vanilla Truffle
PINKSG 11/16/2006 6:16:00 PM
Ladies run fast and get this lipstick if your in the hunt for the perfect nude shade. This will be my sig color, finally found that perfect nude. It's what I wanted MAC Hue to be and Guerlain Kiss Kiss 540 Envie de beige to be. I'm a PPP cool tone. To describe the color it's pinky beige without being too pink or too blah. I saw a model in a magazine wearing it and finally broke down and bought it. Price is $23 and you have that classy EL case. And it has that yummy fruity scent and very moisturizing. My lips feel so soft and it has been a few hours. This is definetly going on my X-mas list, I have to have a back-up. You won't regret it so hurry and find one.
