Maxipeel Hand and Body Lotion is such a wonderful lotion offered here in the Philippines. I particularly like that it has very small fine microbeads to help in the whitening and scrubbing benefits of the lotion. With only after a few weeks of using it, I noticed …

I have a think for trying out different body lotions. Part of the reason is because I have a difficult time finding one that really works but another is just because I like lotions. I actually found one a small container of mango mandarin at the dollar store. It …

The name of this product is very misleading. It describes that your curls will look “capitivating”, when that is so far from what it does. I was forced to buy this mousse when I arrived on my college campus a few months ago because the store
on campus did not …

Rather generic. My gripe with murad tube packaging is that after a while I can never get the lid to close completely.
Texture, cleansing power and skin : 3/5
The gel is ultra foamy and easy to wash off. The first few times …

My skin is very dry, and since I entered my early 50’s, I have noticed my face is much drier than it was when I was in my 30’s and even my 40’s. I prefer all natural creams and lotions (when they do the job well), because my …

This is definitely one of my favorite mascaras. I bought this mascara from Too Faced after I tried a few other of their products and loved them. Some of my favorite mascaras are the ones that have a big brush, I always seem to get the best results …

I normally really love mascaras by Maybelline and this was one of those mascaras that I had really high hopes for. Especially when I saw the commericals on TV. I love high heels shoes and for the commercial and the ads to compare this mascara to high heels and …

As I have said on previous reviews I cannot stand my dry skin. It is probably the thing that I hate most about myself. However after speaking with a dermatologist I learned that some of the bar soaps that I had been using could actually be exacerbating a minor …

I use lots of different eye shadows, but my favorite thing about this product is how easily I can apply it, because I am chronically late; therefore I’m always on the run. These loose powder shadows have some serious shimmer to them so ladies over 40 take note—”you …

Be warned, this product is not a lotion as Clinique says, it’s more like a toner so I’m not really sure why they call it a lotion. This product is a pretty good toner, it removes dirt and oil left on the face as any toner should but it’s …

My sister bought this face wash on a buy one get one free offer. She then gave me the free bottle to try it out. It had cost her £2.89 and the plastic bottle contained 150mls of face wash.
This particular face wash is designed for dry sensitive skin types. …

I really like this product a lot. It is not a self tanner, it is a body bronzer. It is a dark brown lotion that provides you with a very natural looking glow, no orange look at all. My skin is very pale, and I love that just one …
