Had a tube of this in Champagne Glow and Tawny somethingorrather, can't quite remember the names. Anyway I was excited about these since they're similar the Clinique's Buttershine lipsticks and I'd rather get a couple tubes of Avon's l/s over Clinique's one. Went on smooth and looked nicely glossy, a cross between lipstick and gloss. Great colors. Only problem is that they'd disappear (!) in under an hour even when I'd had nothing to eat or drink. Every time I wore these lipsticks I'd have to keep checking throughout the day to see if it was still on my lips, which it wasn't, and then kept having to reapply. Most high maintenance lipstick I'd ever used. Also it had a very odd chemical taste to them which I found off putting. So till Avon fixes the problem I won't buy these again.

I kept hearing that the Cotton Candy scent in the Mmmmm! line was similar to Aqualina's (sp) Pink Sugar and so I wanted to try it out. I think that Pink Sugar is much sweeter and I like Cotton Candy better since it has a kind of clean floral note to it. Kind of hard to describe but it's nicer than the Pink Sugar in my opinion. I spritz this on before bed and find it comforting and it helps me relax. Price is great too and I'd rather pay money for this than the Pink Sugar since the scents are similar and I'm not crazy about Pink Sugar.

Not amazing, I reserve that for Cat Cosmetics Whiskers blush,but it's nice. It is a nice perk me up blush but it's pretty basic. Nothing special about it. Blends well with foundation and doesn't fade. Not worth the price IMO. 5 stars for it being just OK. Will say though that the box is cute though I wish it wasn't cardboard as it gets beat up pretty easily.

it's SO strong! If I use just a teaspoon of this creme it lasts me all day long and scents the sleeves of my clothing forever. This is a fragrance that I have a love/hate relationship with due to how potent it is. It never dies down on my skin and after an hour starts to get on my nerves. I wear this just a couple times a year since I'm afraid of disliking it if I wear it more often. I also have the same complaint about the EDP. Take the scent power of this fragrance down and it'll be perfect. As a gardenia and tuberose fan I love Michael Kors but again the strength of the scent is just too much. Giving this 5 stars for a good middle ground.

When I first used this I loved it. Separated and defined lashes and didn't run when I wore sunscreen or if it was hot and my oily skin started acting up. After a month of the tube being used I noticed that I started getting raccoon eyes and that ended the love affair. Haven't tried the waterproof version yet but I've tried LashBlast in waterproof and it gave me raccoon eyes when I've worn sunscreen. So because of that I don't trust it and I might not trust waterproof LashExact. Four stars cause the price is great, especially on sale,and it defines and separates lashes but that's about it.

This is a really great fragrance. I have the spritz as well as the EDP. Smells very close to Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely which I don't mind. Great scent for Fall. Also works great as a spritz for sheets.

I bought this since the blackberry musk note smells just like real blackberries. Reminds me of hot summers as a kid running down the street with a bucket to pick the berries that grew nearby. Very happy memories for me. My only complaint about this is that for some reason this oil does not smell the same as the EDT. The oil smells like it has a chocolate note in it whereas the EDT does not. BUT I'm thankful that philosophy came out with the perfume oil, and EDP, because the EDT has the WORST lasting power in that it fades in under an hour on the skin. I have both the oil and EDT, which I spritz on my clothing to get the scent to stick around, and I love both.

the Summer Baby shade. This is so ,almost identical, close to MAC's Nymphette Lipglass it's ridiculous. I did a double take when I saw this sitting on the shelf and had to get a tube. When compared side by side Summer Baby has more pigment but is just a tad less shiny than MAC's Lipglass but the shine lasts all day. Because of this new find I won't be purchasing anymore tubes of MAC's Nymphette cause I could get three tubes of Milani gloss for that price! Super great drugstore find!

Even with a tan. I am pretty pale but this stuff is too orange on me. Colors are great though and gorgeous but just not for me. Loved the fact that it smoothed on well, mixed well with lotion and smelled great! Also the price was under $5 if I remember correctly.

L'Oreal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Concentrated Shadow Duos
Great for a drugstore eyeshadow!
When these first came out I bought five of them and it ended up that I used Dynamic #828 the most for the gold shade. Brightened up my eye area and looks best when layered over another shade to punch up the color a bit. Today I was out and saw the new Metallic Duos were out and I bought two, one in Gunmetal and one in Gilded. When I got home I did a side by side and the Metallic Duo in Gilded is the SAME as Dynamic only it has more metallic sheen to it. Not complaining at all and I think that I love the Gilded more since it's has more gold pigment and more punch to it. Love these new Metallic duos and would rather spend $6-7 bucks for two shades in one compact than $14.50 for one MAC eyeshadow.
