Garnier Pure Pimple Control Pen

Member’s Mark Antibacterial Anti-Drip Liquid Soap
We bought this at a Duty Free shop and seeing as it had an anti-drip formula, we just had to try and test it out if it really works as washing your hands and just shaking them off before you wipe them can be time-consuming and whoever wants wet …
Herbal Essences Body Envy volumizing conditioner

Product: CoverGirl Lipslicks Lipgloss
My color pick: Demure

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil

Cover Girl Outlast Smoothers all day eyeliner

Nivea DNAge Zone Action (Body) with Folic Acid
I have been told by my resident dermatologist that it’s okay to start using Anti-ageing skin care products even at my young age. In my twenties, I don’t really consider buying into that anti-age make-your-self-look-younger hype. It wasn’t entirely for that matter that I went on using …

This has become my go-to body wash because it smells great, exfoliates, and it costs much less than my Body Shop body washes.

Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner

Lavshuca by Kanebo Lip Gloss
