Good use of gold at the bottom for contrast. Top contrast is not as vivid but the tight focus helps with that. Topic is fine. Maybe a bit too clean and neat.

Is It In You?

This will make a lot more sense to people who have seen the ads. Luckily for you, I have.

It's an interesting idea, but to mimic the ads you would have needed somewhat different lighting. Having the colour-on-B&W helps with the impression but it's too bright to meet my expectations.

Hmm. Now that I think about it, maybe you'll be better off with the people who do NOT know the ad campaign....

Sealing Liquid

I think I like the basic idea, but this ends up very cluttered and noisy on a colour level. More even rows of bottles, maybe set off slightly each row, might have helped. Alternating colours might have helped; right now they're kind of grouped. Fewer bottles would have been the other choice.

If you drip it... ?

Well, it looks too viscous to be water, that's good. I'm guessing honey or sap or something in that range. The focal blur at the foreground is very distracting, takes the eyes away from the focal point; raising the angle just slightly might have helped with that. Good close-up shot.

Perfume

On the plus side, I've yet to see anyone else use perfume this round. Good going!

On the minus, I don't care for the background this is set against at all. It's very distracting, and doesn't really do much to set off the bottle.

I do like the pattern of bubbles. The blurred background being so much brighter is very distracting -- I think it would have been better with more light on the foreground.

I have no clue what your liquid is other than it's obviously highly reflective. I kind of like the fact the face is visible, it gives it a bit more interest. I think just having those drops would have actually been a better shot, as the ones without an obvious reflection don't add as much to the shot for me.

Liquid Breakfast

Milk, it does a body good? Well, it's a different angle than some of the others I've seen, and you've captured a nice splash effect. I don't know if it's the reflection from the bowl or what but it seems overly blue, and a bit on the dim side.

The liquid itself is kind of cool and very different but I don't know why you chose to do this on a CD. There's a lot of dust on the CD that's distracting.

Eep. Poor tree. please tell me you didn't massacre this tree...

The sap idea is sound but it looks kind of dry.
