Fragrances -Avon - Regence
perfumefanatic 3/23/2013 10:44:00 PM
Reminds me of a lighter, more powdery Chant d'Aromes. Probably not a coincidence since these two scents came out around the same time. Very nice for Spring. Can be found reasonably on Ebay on at Estate sales, etc. athough a previous poster said it was in a current catalog. If so, kudos to Avon for preserving and bringing back some of these classic scents from time to time.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose
perfumefanatic 3/17/2013 3:19:00 PM
Classic rose scent with massive staying power. I also detect a jammy sweet strawberry note underlying the roses. I've tried layering this with other scents when I want to add a rosy note, but it always takes over. Maybe I will try decanting, daubing. A great bargain and a little goes a very long way!

Fragrances -Marilyn Miglin - Pheromone
perfumefanatic 3/12/2013 10:28:00 PM
To my nose a higher quality, more upscale Charlie. Definitely a 70's or early 80's fragrance. I dont do well with galbanum so this is not for me.

Lipstick -Maybelline - Great Wear Lipcolor
perfumefanatic 1/13/2013 3:17:00 PM
I acutally don't think this product is all that bad. It is a long wearing matte product, so you need to use a lipliner and apply very carefully, because it will be there for the rest of the day! Stayed on through coffee, candy and pizza with soda. I really like the deep reds, such as garnet. I would buy again, at Dollar Tree its a small investment for a very good lippie.

Fragrances -Caron - Yatagan

Wonderful scent, like others have described below, a real powerhouse earthy, leathery, spicy wonder. Reminds me of Gorgio Red, but without the sweetness and with a healthy dose of leather and animalics. I will wear this often this winter.

Fragrances -L'Aromarine - Classic Oakmoss
perfumefanatic 7/16/2012 8:52:00 PM
Nice, light, lemony oakmoss. I bought the Chypre EDT and lotion. This is a chypre that could be worn for day, to work as it is subtle, lemony fresh. The oakmoss and patchouli is there, but very light. I also love the Art Deco bottles and will save them when empty just for display.

Kind of a green rosy scent, but not too green. Nice, would buy or swap for again.

Fragrances -Guerlain - Vega

A more powdery, less aldehydic Chanel #5, too similar to the latter to buy a bottle of Vega. Nice, though.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Maja original
perfumefanatic 7/3/2012 12:09:00 AM
Nice aldehydic floral, dont really pick up on the spicy notes...reminds me a lot of vintage Arpege, and while Maja is a nice scent, I have enough vintage Arpege that the Maja would seem redundant. Nice blast from the past, try it if you like that sort of thing.

Fragrances -Demeter - Dirt Pick Me Up Spray
perfumefanatic 4/20/2012 8:19:00 PM
This just wasnt "dirty" enough for me. Didnt smell like dirt, but more like a forest after a rain, green and fresh. I dont go for fresh scents, so will swap my bottle.

Eye Shadow -Unlisted Brand - Profusion 100 Color Pearl Eyeshadows

I bought this palette at Walgreens for $5.99 on a Christmas promotion. It is a great value, the shadows are pigmented and silky. I'm sure this palette will last me a long time. I would definitely buy another palette from Profusion.

Reminds me a lot of Chanel #19, a great lower cost alternative. Try if you like Chanel #19.

Fragrances -Jean Patou - Divine Folie
perfumefanatic 12/4/2009 9:49:00 PM
Reminds me of a more powdery, lighter Bellodgia. Very nice, vintage scent, which reminds me of times gone by. Would go with a drapey, flutter sleeve thirties style vintage dress to be worn on a warm summer day to a garden party. Other reviews have covered the notes well, so I won't go into that. Perfect if you're in a feminime vintage mood.

Hair -L'Oreal - Elnett Hairspray
perfumefanatic 7/24/2009 10:28:00 AM
I find this to be a great product. I use it when I put my hair up in a French twist and I can comb thru later, which is what it promises and thats what I want. I do think it is a bit expensive for a ds product, but I bought the big can & it should last for a while. As for the smell...yes there is some, but since I wear perfume almost everyday I dont notice it that much. All in all, a worthwhile product, does what it promises and I would buy it again.

Fragrances -I Profumi di Firenze - Tuberosa d'Autunno
perfumefanatic 7/11/2009 4:11:00 PM
White flowers, yes. Tuberose, certainly. And then, the incense kicks in, and this is what sets Tuberosa apart from other tuberose scents I can't tolerate. This is what I wanted Chanel #22 to be like. Great for a summer incensey fix. I'm so glad I gave this one another try, I will be seeking a back up bottle.
