It comes in two formats, the one …

MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick
I bought the MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick because I’ve noticed that pink has been mainstream lately! I see a lot of teens and young adults trying to pull off that “Barbie” or girly pink look, with something like long blonde hair, big eyelashes, pink blush, and pink lipstick. …
Loreal Paris Renutrition Conditioner with Royal Jelly
The item that completes my love for Loreal’s royal jelly line is the renutrition conditioner (excluding the hair mask). The past months of consistently using the renutrition shampoo in the shower and the night serum, as leave-in sleep mask, has given me enough evidence that my hair, without …
Veet Ready-To-Use Wax Strips

I used to use blush a lot more when I was younger, but as I have gotten older, using blush has fallen to a rare occurrence. However, despite the fact that I don’t wear it often, I still do buy it on occasion if I find a good deal.
I …
Origins Salt Scrub
I had it a couple months ago and for some reasons, I used it only 4 times and after I put it under my sink where it’s still sitting since that time. The problem with it was the product itself because first of all, the salt beads irritated my …
Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Bamboo Pink

The Sunsilk Pink (smooth and manageable)
One day, I went to our class and I found out that my hair is so sticky maybe because of the sun and I have hard times to manage it. My Mother bought a shampoo and it was Sunsilk Pink (smooth and manageable). I saw it and since it …
Clearskin Cleansing Pads
I bought Clearskin Cleansing Pads for $3 online. Here is my review.
There are 50 pieces in each pack. These cleansing pads suit all skin types, hence there is no real need to worry. When I used this product I did not have any acne back then, but from what …
Great Lash Mascara Maybelline BLACK

Juice Beauty Antioxidant Serum
Juice Beauty Antioxidant Serum
I have always been interested in organic products, so when I noticed the Juice Beauty line at Sephora I simply had to give it a try. The concept of a serum full of antioxidants for the skin is wonderful to me due to the fact that …

I have always preferred liquid eyeliner over pencil eyeliner, and the e.l.f. brand delivers one of my favorite eyeliners at the lowest possible price. This product is an excellent value, and one of the best liquid eyeliners I’ve ever used.
The most important aspect of liquid eyeliner is the applicator, …

Avon Viva Chic Body Spray
This range of Body Sprays haven’t been out all that long in Avon. I use them now and again but have to wait until they are on offer as I certainly wouldn’t want to pay full price for them. Actually I wouldn’t pay Full price at all for them. …

MAC eyeshadow in White Frost
As the name implies, MAC eyeshadow in White Frost is a basic white frost eyeshadow. However, I find the “frost” in MAC White Frost eyeshadow to not be over the top; instead, I find it to be more of a strong shimmer. I have not had a problem …

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner in Moist
What I’ve realized with most products is that they claim to ‘moisturize’ your hair, but you have to use their whole line of products in order to get the desired results. And why spend money on a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask treatment, and etc if there’s only a 50/50 …
Revlon Luxurious Kohl Liner Black Truffle

I was very worried about this facial tanning lotion from Morrisons own brand. To be honest, I had no faith at all but I thought I would try it as it was so cheap. The wording on the tube does not give much information either, other than …

I recently purchased the Amazing Cosmetics Velvet Mineral Powder Foundation from Sephora. It is a powder foundation that comes in a little pot with one of those sifters that you shake the product out through. It contains 0.30 ounces of product and costs a little over thirty dollars. I …
Sephora Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 Light
I couldn’t give this a perfect score because it is basically worthless during the winter months. In the summer or spring months when it is warmer outside, I plan on using this everyday. It provides just a hint of color, a little protection from the sun, and a lot …

Almay Smart Shade Makeup
This is something that I just had to try! How could I resist the wily charms of magical makeup? Just kidding, but this foundation is supposed be white when it’s in the tube, and when I put it on my face, it’s supposed to match my skin tone. Weird, …
