OPI Barefoot In Barcelona
The Spain collection that OPI just released, called Collecion Espana, quite uncreative, in my opinion, but the colors of the polishes still caught my eye, and I am reviewing Barefoot in Barcelona today. This is a delicious nude that looked great in the bottle, but once applied, gave me …
True Color Blush from Avon Classic Aura
I bought True Color Blush-on for the purpose of adding color to my face. I picked this product while browsing the Avon catalogue of my sister. The model who wears this blush-on looks fresh. It looks like a natural blush in the cheek and that pushed me to order …
Beecology Original Honey Hand and Body Cream
I recently purchased some of the Beecology Original Honey Hand and Body Cream to try because it was natural and fragrance free. I hate strong fragrances in my body care products due to the asthma I have that seems too always be triggered by strong fragrances in body care …
Nair Pretty Cherry Kiss Hair Removal Cream
I recently bought Nair Pretty Cherry Kiss hair removal cream for coarse hair, because I will be traveling soon and wanted to find a painless method of hair removal that would last longer than shaving. I wasn’t disappointed with the Nair Pretty hair removal cream.

Sparkle Shadow Dust by BonBon
I own a trio of Bon Bons Sparkle Shadow Dust #336, in violet, pink, and white. This pretty product comes in an acryllic container. The top has a separate lid, but the two additional colors are not as the bottom of the previous color is the cover for the …
Boots Sanctuary Bath Relaxer
I’ll admit it… I’m a total sucker for bath products. My husband jokes about how I never take showers, only baths and, if I had the time and it were up to me, I’d probably take two baths a day, because that’s always been my quiet time away from …
MAC Liquid Foundation
I had heard a lot of good reviews about the cosmetics brand MAC, so I decided to try the MAC foundation one day. While I was browsing the MAC products on the shelf, I was pleased to see that they had a large selection of foundation that …
Olay Body Daily Purifying with Microbeads Body Soap
This was on sale cheaper than the one with Shea Butter and the other kind. So I picked it and purchased it. Given that this comes from Olay, I thought that it has the same moisturizing effect. There are only two body soaps that I can use because of …
Ionic Hair Wand Brush SI642TOR
Ionic Hair Wand Brush SI642TOR is a conditioning brush, and it works surprisingly well. As you run it through the hair, the ions somehow make the hair soft and manageable; the hair stops flying around and assumes a shapely, styled look. The brush comes with two heads: one with …
Alberto VO5 Strawberries & Cream Conditioner
So far, I like the VO5 hair conditioners. I have used Lavender and Tea Therapy, both were very good, and I�ve recently tried Strawberries & Cream. First of all, I must say I love the smell! The sweet, delicious aroma of strawberry cream candy� But if you think you …
Philosophy Lip Gloss in Candy Cane
I love this lip gloss. Philosophy is a great brand, and I love anything that is mint flavored, so this product is the perfect lip gloss for me.
The Candy Cane flavor is only available around Christmas time (I believe!), but this flavor is such an amazing flavor for any …
Neutrogena 3 in 1 Concealer for Eyes
I was really happy to see this eye concealer because it offers you more than hiding your dark circles. Normally, the concealers that are available in the market only hides the evidence of staying up late but it does not provide more than that. What happens if aside from …
Sudden Change Scar Zone Topical Scar Diminishing Cream
I seem to always have fresh scars and old scars from playing sports. I was looking for a cheaper solution to fade my scars, and I was hoping this would be it. I chose this product, because it was way less expensive than Mederma—˜s scar gel.
I used this product …
Fresh High Noon Freshface Glow
This has just a hint of color in it. I apply self tanner on my body but I’m a little hesitant to apply to my face because I worry about streaking, looking orange, to dark etc so I just use a powder bronzer so I don’t look paler than …
IN2IT Long Wearing Eye Color, Duo Eye Shadow ED10 Khaki
After using neutral and natural looking eye shadows for a long time I wanted to try something more colorful. There was this colleague of mine who would wear any color on her eyes. For her the flashier and more colorful the better and they actually looked pretty …

Beyond Color Radiant Lifting Concealer
This is another Avon product that I love and use daily. It works miracles. It conceals my under eye circles when I haven’t gotten enough sleep. It also is great for hiding blemishes and evening out your skin tone. I think this product is wonderful and great for everyone.

Emu Oil Shampoo by Longview Farms
I read a lot about the healing properties of Emu Oil on the internet, including for skin and scalp problems like psoraisis, and ordered Emu Oil “Advance Energising Body and Shine Shampoo” by Longview Farms.
Don’t make the same mistake as me, lured by their claims to arrest falling hair …
Saralee Eskinol Ageless Day Cream with SPF 18/PA+
I decided to buy this facial cream after making several trips in SM Department Store looking for Nivea Q10 Anti-Wrinkle cream without success. Over the last two months, I have been searching for the cream in most department stores and other beauty shops and the many promises that I …
Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller .5 fl oz (15 ml)
Due to exhaustion, stress, aging, luck of fresh air, allergies, unbalanced body liquids, too much alcohol or excessively salted food yesterday or for whatever other reason I wake up with gentle puffiness under my eyes, Garnier never fails as my loyal ally. On top of everything, even dark circles …
Clean and Clear: Morning Burst Facial Scrub

H2O Plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment
H2O Plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment was worth around $34 which was pretty expensive. But it weighed 50 ml, so it was a pretty long lasting one. It had a blue container, and pretty small. It was a moisturizer which was pretty good, after using it for a time. …
Kiehl’s Simply Mahvelous Legs Shave Cream
Having hair in the legs is not sexy. You have to always be on the lookout to keep your legs hair-free. Especially those who have thicker hair in the legs, it is always necessary to trim, cut and get rid of it. Having hairy legs is not admirable for …
Aussie Dual Personality Anti Frizz Cream
I was very excited to try this product. I was intrigued by the idea that not only is it designed to be an anti frizz cream, but it also works as a leave in conditioner. I envisioned in my mind that this product would help to define …
Studio 35 Lift Comb Assortment 3 Piece Set
I decided to throw out my hair brush and start using a hair pick instead to detangle my long wavy hair. This was on the advice of my hair stylist who said my hair was damaged and fragile. This inexpensive set of three combs was the only kind I …
John Frieda Hair Relaxing Creme
After having such success with other products in the John Frieda line of hair care products I decided to try the Extra-Strength Relaxing Creme. While I haven’t been as impressed with this product as I was the Straight Answer Hair Straightening Spray I would say that this …
Aloe Vera Soothes and Moisturizes
Have you ever had a skin irritation that made you feel miserable?
You should have tried Hawaiian Tropic Cool Aloe Vera Gel. This gel would have made you feel better. How do I know? It always makes me feel better.
Hawaiian Aloe Vera Gel is a wonderful product to use on …
Almay Hydrocolor Lipstick
Recently, I bought this lipstick because of a rebate offer. I was pleasantly surprised as this is a great product which I am now a fan of. The packaging says it contains 100x more water than other lipsticks. I don’t know about that but I do …
Jergens Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer
Being a very fair skinned red head who, upon exposure to the sun (which a no-no anyway), goes from ghost white, to red, right back to white, I am always interested in finding and experimenting with self tanners, or tan-in a can, as I call it, and similar …
Nivea Sun DNAGE Cell Protection Anti-Ageing Face Sun Cream
Indeed it is impossible to grow old, and aging is one of the results of getting old. However, there lots of factors of what causes skin aging and damage from the sun is one of the worst. The best anti-aging skin care should come with a formidable SPF so …
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

A friend of mine kept recommending “Aussie 3 Minute Miracle.” I was …
Alniche Aquahold Moisturizer Lotion
Aquahold Moisturizing Lotion was prescribed to me by my dermatologist when I was fighting a serious case of whole body itching. I am using this lotion for hydrating and moisturizing my skin since then. It is a wonderful product and I am a completely satisfied consumer. I used other products …
Maybelline Colossal Mascara
I am always on the look out for a good mascara. I try most of the new mascaras that come out if I can afford it, and hence, drugstore brands like Maybelline, which always comes out with new mascara products, are something that I keep a keen eye out …
L’Oreal Hydra confort face wash
Few months before, I started using L’Oreal Hydra fresh moisturizer. I felt so good with that and even wrote a review here. Since I had a good opinion on that, I thought of giving a try to L’Oreal’s Hydra Confort face wash too. Generally these two products are placed …
Britney Spears Curious Body Souffle
I would say that the Britney Spears range of Perfume is 1 of my favourite ones out there. I know it’s probably aimed more at teenagers, which I am not, but I still like the scent and out of the whole of the range this one is my favourite …
MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam Gaga
If you don’t know what the Viva Glam line at MAC is, it is a line of lipsticks and lipglosses that have different packaging than the traditional MAC lipsticks. There is a line of red on the tube, so you can tell that it is a Viva Glam. All …
Jergens Naturals Hydrate Body Lotion
When shopping for my usual body lotion a few months back, I found it was not in stock. I decided to try Jergens Naturals. I am glad now they were out of my old stand by.
I use my Jergens Naturals Daily after my shower. I love the way it …
Suave Basic Volumizing Shampoo
Suave Basic Volumizing Shampoo is a good choice for thin hair that could use some extra body and bounce. I usually switch to volumizing shampoos when my perm fades, as my hair is not very full naturally.
Suave Basic Volumizing comes in a tan-colored 15 fl. oz bottle, priced under …
Coastal Scents 88 Color Palette Metal Mania

Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Leave In Conditioner

Covergirl Outlast Lipstain
Cover Girl typically makes excellent products, but for some reason, this Outlast Lipstain just could not reach my standards. I expected so much from it that my disappointment may be a little exaggerated. This product is among the lows of Cover Girl history and should be dropped and forgotten.
I …
Wet n Wild Craze Nail Polish in Glitz
I love Wet N wild. They make such great and fashion forward colors at such cheapie cheap prices! I went to my CVS and found that another collection came out! This one is called the Craze collection, and I got the nail polish called Glitz. This is a glitter …
Davines Love Curl Enhance Shampoo
A common thing I just found out in almost all of Davines shampoos is that they can’t be used without the conditioner. Try using it separately, it’s a disaster! I’ve experienced this a lot of times before and this time is with Love Curl Enhance Shampoo.
At first impression, …
