OPI No Spain No Gain
OPI has come out with yet another collection, and sometimes, I really bore of them, because they are usually just repromotes of old colors, or old colors that have been slightly tweaked and barely look different. This time, it was the Collecion Espana, which excited me a little bit …

Veet Sensitive Hair Removal Cream

ALTERNA Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Shampoo
I can honestly say that I’ve never heard of an anti-aging shampoo before I purchased and used the ALTERNA Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Shampoo. It’s pricey, but if you’re careful with how often you use this product, you can make it last, and get every last little penny spent out …

Clean & Clear Finishes Pore Perfecting Moisturizer
I got this moisturizer after seeing the overplayed commercial. “Softens the appearance of pores with light diffusing minerals. Oil Free, SPF 15 Sunscreen.” First off, it’s ridiculously high priced for the size of it. It’s so tiny so it won’t last too long, yet it’s around $8. Second, moisturizers …
