This product is a daily illuminating cream with an SPF15 which promises to give your skin a healthy, radiant glow WITHOUT make-up. Seeing as I’m pretty lazy about putting make-up on I rushed out to buy this.
As a moisturiser it’s pretty good - it left my skin soft, …

St. Ives Elements Microderm-abrasion Facial Exfoliant
I treated myself to this rather expensive exfoliator which cost me about £7 or £8, but it does a lovely job. I have been doing loads of skin treatments of late as I have a tendency to break-out and even at my age, I suffer with blocked pores. …

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream Moisturizer

This is my second bottle of Eskinol Skin Therapy Ice Poretherapy Facial Toner but I don’t see any changes on my pores yet.

I have large visible pores on …
L’Oreal Pure Zone Anti-Imperfection Moisturizer

Colonial Dames Vitamin E Cream
Colonial Dames Vitamin E Cream is a cosmetic product that I use frequently, about three times per week, and love. It’s a moisturizer cream that has a luxurious feeling, I think, because it is very thick. I use it mostly on my face and neck but during the colder …

NYX Eyeshadow in Sahara
The NYX eyeshadow in Sahara was actually my mother’s, but she knew how much I enjoyed makeup, and she didn’t think the color was right for her, so she gave it to me to try out. I don’t have a lot of NYX products (only about three products from …
Careline Lip Gloss
I love using lip gloss as part of my beauty basics. I use it more often than lipstick everyday when I go out. So it is no wonder that I am very picky when it comes to choosing a lip gloss brand that fits my personality, style, and beauty …
Veet Hair Removal Gel Cream for Sensitive Skin
Hair removal for women is always a very difficult thing to tackle. Waxing is painful. Shaving isn’t completely effective and leaves most women with ingrown hairs. Creams and gels often smell really harsh and sometimes even burn the skin and leave it red and irritated. I recently purchased the …
Clairol Herbal Essence 2 in 1 “Body Envy” Shampoo and Conditioner
I originally bought this shampoo/conditioner because of its fragrance. It’s labeled as nectarine and pink coral flower fragrance. I know what a nectarine is. I’m not sure what a pink coral flower is, but I know it smells really nice with nectarine!
I remember thinking while standing …
Ponds Dry Skin Cream

InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Straightener
It is very rare that I actually purchase something that I have seen in an informercial. For the most part, I just do not trust that the items they are emphatically touting in informercials are worth my time or money. No matter how enthusiastic the women are nor how …
The Face Shop WHITE MUD NOSE PACK
I don’t like going to the dermatologist to have my blackheads cleared, because I feel that every time she performs the procedure on my, my pores just become larger and larger. It may also have something to do with the price, because any sensible person would rather buy nose …
Rimmel 60 seconds Nail Polish
Rimmel use to be one of my favorite drug store brands for makeup and nail products until I found out they tested on animals and their main model is one that looks high on just about every cover and poster she’s in. Before I boycotted Rimmel I tried out …
TIGI Superstar Shampoo for Thick Hair
I love this shampoo. It’s a sulfate free shampoo. I can’t quite put my finger on the smell it is; something like strawberries. It smells sooo good. I have had a hard time finding shampoos and this doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it feel greasy. The kind …
Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion (SPF 60)
I have a rather inexplicable obsession with sunscreen. I wear it daily and I typically do not purchase makeup products unless they include an SPF value of at least 15, if not higher. Protecting my skin from the sun is something that I take very seriously and because I …
The Body Shop Divide and Multiply Mascara
A little tube of mascara, just 5mL, was thrown into my Body Shop bag as a lovely thank you for completely using up my paycheck there. The full size is double of what I got. For $18, 10mL of mascara may not seem like much, but the things it …
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil
I like shopping for different types of moisturizers that smell good. I am that person that walks around in the stores smelling different products.

Gillette M3 Power Shaver and Cartridges

Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate Rouge Body Cream
I bought this a couple of years ago during the holiday season. Back then, Crabtree & Evelyn called this scent Pomegranate Rouge. Now they carry a scented body cream that is simply called Pomegranate. So I don’t know whether it is basically the same holiday scent, and they just …
Alberto V05 Tea Therapy Conditioner
This is my personal experience with Alberto VO5 Tea Therapy with Calming Chamomile Tea Conditioner.
The bottle claims it is a nourishing conditioner. Also stated is that it is a rich formula and you’ll get 2X stronger hair. Be cautioned though, there is an asterisk after that statement!
Upon …
Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Leave In Conditioner

Almay Clear Complexion Concealer Light
Every once in a great while, I’ll luck out and my complexion will clear up enough that I can get away with using a concealer and some powder, verses having to use an all-over foundation. When I was a teen and my complexion was at its worst, I used …
