So you want to be compared to a music DIVA, huh??

We all emulate the stars to some degree, don’t we? Whether its hairstyles, fashion, or just a little attitude, we’ve all done it once or twice. The easiest way to get a piece of Hollywood these days, is to buy one of the hundreds of different perfumes that are on the market. It seems like everyone has their own scent these days! There is one product line that I love more than the others and that is the line from Jennifer Lopez.

My favorite is still the original, which is "Glow." It comes in a beautiful frosted glass bottle with a faux rhinestone JLo"necklace" hanging on it. Glow is the perfect fragrance for daytime; light and refreshing but not overpowering. In fact, the scent is so subtle, I find myself wishing it was a bit more powerful. Luckily, they make a shower gel and body lotion in the same scent. By using at least one of these in addition to the perfume, I find it is just the right amount for me. The scent blends flowers, amber and fruit with vanilla and the result is clean and fresh. Perfect for the office or out running errands.

For evenings out, I prefer something a little more toxic and rich and LA Glow fits the bill. It comes in a beautiful deep purple glass bottle and holds scents of blackberry and plum along with magnolia and peony. The scent lasts for hours and it's just a bit richer (more sensual) smell than the original Glow. I purchased a travel atomizer (also in purple!) so that I can carry this fragrance with me when I go out to refresh as needed. It's great for a little extra spritz during a night of wild dancing!

It's funny how scent can evoke memories or create an experience so real we are transported in our minds. This is what Miami Glow does for me. It is like sunshine in a bottle! When I spritz this scent on I am instantly transported to the beach or ocean; some place completely tropical. It's a great blend of coconut water, pink grapefruit, passion fruit, crystal mush, sheer amber, vanilla orchid and blonde woods. This scent is ideal for summer and, even in the winter, it instantly reminds me of summer! Miami Glo is basically a hot summer night, the mist of sea water in the air and fruity tropical drinks all wrapped in to one! Don't let the fairly plain bottle fool you . . . this perfume is sultry and sexy!

I love that Jennifer Lopez also offers most of her scents in gift sets. The Miami Glo set comes with a 1oz spray and a compact-size container of Golden Bronzing Powder. The powder was a fun treat as it's not something I would have normally purchased on its own. I enjoyed using it on a night out on the town (though am I not sure that I would purchase it again on its own).

I absolutely love her line! And, I like the fact that she just keeps coming up with more new scents all the time. Even though I have my favorites, it is still fun to try something new. So, check them out! Not only are they reasonably priced and beautifully packaged but, most importantly, they all smell delicious!!
