Packaging: It comes in a glass bottle which is full and round at the bottom, but progressively tapers off to become thin at the top. It is clear glass with a small frosted plastic lid and the perfume inside is a clear orange. There is a multicoloured bracelet draped around the body with a small pair of bronze coloured flip-flops attached. There is a band around the top which has 'J-Lo Miami Glow' written on it. It is a relatively simple design but I would say it is quite effective. The box it comes in is very eye catching though; it's a shimmery holographic bronze colour with palm trees, and the classic 'J-Lo' logo written in gold.
Price & Availability: The price ranges from £17.99 for 30ml to £39.99 for 100ml. It is no longer available in the shops in the UK as it was limited edition, however it can be purchased online. I got my first bottle from Superdrug when it was first launched, but I got my second bottle from an online shop on eBay. It retailed much cheaper than in the shops, even with shipping prices from America I got a 100ml bottle for £24.99. It is a shame though that you can't get it in UK shops as it means that you can't test it, however samples can also be purchased on eBay for a few pounds if you want to smell it before you splash out!
Aroma: It is marketed as being a blend of pink grapefruit, coconut water, cyclamen and vanilla orchid. I can't say that I detected the grapefruit, but the coconut and vanilla tones are apparent, they compliment each other really well and smell exotic. Obviously it's quite difficult to describe a smell, the only way you can really know is to smell it for yourself, but if you like the smell of coconut and vanilla and like J-Lo's other perfumes then you probably will like this. If you're not keen on sweet perfumes then this probably isn't for you.
Performance: Being an Eau De Toilette it isn't as concentrated as its stronger counterparts, it lasts for a few hours but you definitely need to reapply this throughout the day to maintain the fragrance. If you have paid the full retail price for this then it would not work out as good value for money, however, if like me you got this cheap on the internet then you won't mind using it liberally.
Who Is It For? This is marketed as being for 'the girl who is extroverted and loves to celebrate', which suggests it is aimed at the younger market. I would probably suggest that the sweet fragrance of this perfume would be more suitable for the younger generation; however, taste in perfumes is down to the individual as they all smell different on different people.
Overall Opinion: This is one of my favourite perfumes; it is exotic and sweet, and perfect for summer as it isn't too heavy. However, it doesn't last as long as it could. It's also a shame that it's not available in the UK, but there are some good offers on the internet. I would definitely recommend it for young women.

Have just read the review on the J Lo perfume. I love Jennifer Lopez and think she's so beautiful and talented, so would definitely like to buy some of her perfume. This review is well laid out, easy to understand, well written and gives an unbiased opinion of the product.
The product is described very well from the shape of the bottle, colour of the perfume, price and most importantly the actual smell of the perfume which, as stated, varies from person to person. Excellent.

Nice review there, but I would never buy a product that is brought out by Jennifer Lopez, simply because I don't like her and dont think she has any talent...sorry, just me...Chris x
