Could be improved.

The best thing going for this cream is the scent. It smells EXACTLY like the perfume, which i not always the case. I use it on my arms exclusively because @ $48 for only 6 1/2oz A) it's too expensive to 'waste' - you're not going to smell my legs in jeans, right?! and B) it doesn't moisturize.

I like the tube, you can get every drop out but you need to know, this is not a thick 'cream' it a thin lotion and my hands stay a little sticky until it completely dries, which takes a few minutes.

The only reason that I deal with it, is because I receive a set every Christmas with the perfume and lotion. I wouldn't purchase this on it's own unless I couldn't wear perfume spray. My skin doesn't feel moisturized at all. I only wear it because it enhances the perfume and aids the fragrance in proper dry-down so all of the notes can be enjoyed the way they were intended.

I wish this was a true thick shea butter cream. haha! They should seriously change the name to lotion. Judge for yourself but I think it fails to deliver.

My signature scent.

Have worn since 2001. I know, that sounds crazy. I bought this at niemans about 3 months after it launched and I have only worn 1 other fragrance over the past 10 years - G&B BY, during the Winter.

I can't pinpoint exactly what I like about this elixir but never before have I felt so sexy by simply wearing perfume. Perhaps it is the crisp sweet intoxicatingly citrus notes whose dance with jasmine and rose drew me in so quickly. All I know is, I planning on wearing this another 10 years!

I also own and use the lotion. It aids the fragrance in proper dry-down so all of the notes can be enjoyed the way they were intended. The ancillary products extend the daily like of your perfumes, as a bonus.

The vessel is constructed of translucent glass and the product is clear. I receive the 3.3oz, use 2 sprays on an average of 5 days per week and my bottle lasts me almost a full year.... Just in time for a Christmas refill!!! It is so fresh and clean, a true testament to a timeless classic fragrance.

Sheer Shine

The name says it all. On my wrist below this shade is all the way to the left, grazing the base of my apple tattoo. It looks petal pink with specks of glitter yet it simply enhances your own natural lip shade.

You can still add lip liner, but you would want to fill in your lips, this would show a tell-tale line. You can always spice it up with a gloss, like I mentioned below but I would apply it only to the center part of your lips.

Super creamy and super moisturizing. This shade will work well on all skin tones. The picture shows the shades in the tubes from left to right: 664, 754, 680 and 174.

A red for everyone.

This was the 3rd addition to my collection. If you see this shade in just the tube you're going to say "WTF" but trust me, it's a facade - it's totally sheer. This is the 2nd shade from the left on my wrist below and I swiped 2 layers so you could see the colour. If you are afraid of bright colours but have always wanted to wear red, this is the product for you. The shade is true but not saturated.

I love this - I think it's my favourite of the 4. I bought it for 4th of July and rocked it this winter with NARS Bad Education gloss. I always receive compliments on this colour.

Just as creamy as the others, moisturizing and non-running. This shade does not reveal the shimmer as easily as 680, 174 and 664 but you clearly see how shiny it is when it is on your lips.

I will buy this as long as Dior makes it. I feel like a retro screen siren.

My favourite 'purple'

This was the second one that I purchased.

This is # 680, Catwalk Mauve, a shimmery, plum kissed mauve. NOT '80's mauve. A tone that will look great on all skin tones. This is not a frost, you can see tiny specs of glitter but they only produce an iridescence not glitter-lip. This is the second shade from the right on my wrist below.

I have been rocking this off and on all year, I can change the intensity by simply changing the liner or adding gloss. HOT!

The consistency is super creamy but not thick. They are translucent, so don't be afraid to experiment with shades you might not usually purchase. They will also smooth your rough pieces on your lips.

i might need an intervention!!

This is for #174 Rose Must-Have. It is a peachy nude, the perfect neutral good for all skin tones. This line is not frosted. You can see shimmer in this shade but it provides the shine, you will not have glitter-lips. lol. Super creamy going on, long lasting, no odor, no taste and they do not run.

OMGOODNESS! This was the first on that i bought and I fell in love with this entire line. I own 4 (lost the 5th) and at $26 a piece that's not a cheap investment. But they are the best lip colour that I have used in a very long time, so to me, they are totally worth the price.

This is the shade all the way to the right. As you can see, they are quite sheer, so you should experiment with shades you normally wouldn't buy. You can really wear these all year. Simply change the pencil or gloss to add drama.

The vessel is super fun and they stay locked tight, I have never found a cap-less lipstick in my bag. 5star all the way. I can't wait to add more to my collection.

Excellent buffer

I love this combo, it was the first item I bought at GB. The peppermint is cooling and the oatmeal is not only soothing it buffs your rough skin. It is a milled bar so it lasts, unlike pure glycerin, that melt away in a week. lol. I have bough this of and on over the years and will continue to do so. I find it super refreshing after a hard workout.

Mango Must have

This is GB's #1 selling scent. YUMMY! It smells like fresh picked mangoes, just so yummy. This is a thicker gel, it leaves my skin super soft and moisturized. This is a treat to any mango lover.

So delish!

This is my fave GB product. My whole house smells like almond cookies when I use this. It is a deep and rich almond scent and a thick gel. You have to like the scent of almond or you will not like this. It leaves my skin super soft. GB retail stores closed in '97 or '98 but it is still available online and some jc penney locations.

YUMMY like cookies

This is a deep almond scent, very rich, very luxurious. The cream melts into the skin quickly. It is non-greasy but super moisturizing. The glycerin binds and bring more moisture to your skin, so you stay comfortable all day. I would definitely rebuy. yum!
