Coming from a warm climate, I never experienced terribly dry, cracked skin during the winter months. The past year in Korea changed my skin, and my lips in particular, to a dry broken mess. I wanted a chapstick that would actually help heal my lips, rather than just making …

I recently bought this flat iron at Marshalls for only $24 because I had read good reviews, and my old CHI flat iron just wasn’t getting hot enough anymore.
I was debating whether or not to buy another CHI, but decided to go with a cheaper …

I bought Clinique Acne Solutions Night Treatment Gel for $27online, weighing 24 oz. Here is my review.
This product was made to help get rid of acne and scars. The ingredients here are nothing too complicated, because they are pretty much familiar, but hey are strong, and are not …

I had the opportunity to try Avon’s Glazewear Lipstick Mini from a friend of mine. She had ordered too many and decided to give away a few.
I like these cute little lipsticks for many reasons.
For starters they come in a variety of colours, ranging from very light to …

My skin has been of great concern lately especially because it has been getting overly oily and I have the worst kind of breakout, cystic and all. It may sound like a teen complaining but no, I am in my thirties and have had the oily skin and …

Since my high school days I have been using nail polishes of different brands and varieties and with all nail polishes you do encounter a small problem even if it is when applying to one hand. For me it is mainly the left hand because I am left handed.
I …

I am so happy that I went through in purchasing this product! At first, I was a bit hesitant to purchase it due to the fact that it was priced pretty high, and I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to spend that much money on a tinted moisturizer, …

I came across this gentle foot spray when I was looking for something that would cool my feet. Sometimes they get a little “hot” and irritated and they are constantly dry. I needed something that would relax them and help them to feel rejuvenated. If I …

I have used a lot of Dove hair care products over the years, but this is the first time I have used their Heat Defy Therapy Conditioner or even come across it! Recently I was in my supermarket looking for new hair care products to try and ran across …

I had never heard of Korres until I saw their products in Sephora. They are a make-up company from Greece, and they use many natural ingredients to create their products. This shade of lip butter in Wild Rose was included in a set of three lip butters, and …

I am a big fan of blush make-up. I never leave home without that right amount of flush in the cheeks which makes me look young and fresh. However, I prefer natural looking blush and not that overrated red cheek look.
I have tried a lot of blushes before but I …

The lakhme products have been my favourite products and I use most of the lakhme products for make up. All these products are very good in quality; durability and also they are very safe for the skin. These cosmetics give the perfect finish to the make up …

A friend and I went for a haircut at the Piandre Salon in Greenhills and when we got there, I immediately noticed a shelf in the reception area full of haircare products. Since I finished early, I passed the time by browsing the different haircare products on the …

I recently purchased the Beauty Blender sponge. This is probably one of the most hyped up beauty tools ever and I am kind of embarrassed that I did not own this until about a week ago. Ever since I purchased it, I have been using it to apply my …

The VO5 brand has been around for ages, but it so happens that I have never tried it before. A bottle of Alberto VO5 Silky Experiences Lavender Conditioner caught my eye during my last trip to the store. I like lavender, both the color and the scent, so I …

I really love tan so a good self tanner is my must have.
I used this self tanner last summer and now I’m sure that it’s not a very good one for some reasons.

In my country it costs about 10$ for 150 ml. In my opinion it’s too …

I’m always trying out new shampoos but this is the main one that I use on a consistent basis. I’m marveled at how well it cleans and takes care of my hair. This particular Loreal is definitely the most effective shampoo that I’ve used and that’s why …

I have very dry skin on my body but extremely oily skin on my face. I wish my face is as dry as my skin and I would not have to worry as much to curb the oil on my face. However dry skin is as tough to handle as …

I wanted to try something new, so from being a Chapstick addict I tried to switch to Blistex, just to see what the raves are all about. I think Blistex has a lot of products in its line of lip protectors, so I might as well try one.
I bought …

Brushing is important to almost everyone I know, including myself. I am very picky about toothbrushes because I have very sensitive gums. Though I need a soft brush, I don’t like spending too much on something as simple as a toothbrush. Because my current toothbrush had given me so …

As a teen, I used to have short eyelashes which were barely visible. I tried a lot of different products which claim to lengthen eyelashes. I tried various products like Maybeline, Innoxa and Lil Lash, and a few other lesser known brands, but in the end, I was just …

I have being dying to try this product for a while now and I was fortunate enough to have a close friend of mine give me a sample of this cream to try. I have curly African American hair and I have always struggled to keep my hair …

I have been using Jergens natural glow firming daily moisturizer designed for medium/tan skin tones for a few months now. This lotion claims to firm and moisturize while gradually tanning the skin at the same time.
In my opinion, this lotion smells …

Powder foundation is used to conceal the flaws in a person’s face. It is also used so that a person’s face won’t look too oily but instead, it will always look fresh and smell good. But the best powder foundation should also have an add-on benefit aside from what …

Benefit’s High Beam is great if you want to get that natural glow. It has won several awards in beauty magazines all over the United States. It comes in a nail polish - like set up, in a bottle with a brush used for application. It is a liquid, …

Users of epilators know that maintaining hairless, smooth legs requires the use of physical exfoliants to prevent ingrown hairs from cropping up. My skin is prone to irritation, post-epilation, which necessitates scrubbing my legs regularly. Exfoliating gloves are basically sandpaper for your legs provided by epilator manufacturers, …

I have no idea where they came from, but while sorting out the bathroom recently I came across four tubes of Mint Julep, a face masque made by Queen Helene.   It’s designed with problematic teenage skin in mind, but Queen Helene point out that it’s suitable for use on …

For most of my life I have been an —˜outdoorsy’ person, spending plenty of time in the hot summers and dry winters of the South African climate. In these weathering conditions it’s easy for lips to become dry and chapped. If I could not find one of my many …

I love having clean feet especially when they’re dry skin free. While out shopping one day I saw Benefit’s Sandal Scandal, What attracted me to it was it’s too cute package. I like pretty things especially when it comes to my makeup. I’m more likely to buy something in …

A couple of months back I realized I needed a new eye liner pencil. And I ordered Jillion Dempsey for Avon Professional Kohl eye liner. I was impressed with this product at first. But like most of the eye liners I have used in pencil form …

I honestly had never heard of dry/waterless shampoo until recently. It was described to me as a product used for oil absorbtion in hair between washings. I have baby fine, thin hair that starts getting oily within a few hours of washing but I have …

You won’t need a magnifying lens to zoom in to my blackheads. And worse, blackheads are competing with my large pores for visibility. Black or white, these comedones just keep coming back. I’m too squeamish to extract them manually. B.liv by Cellnique came up with a …

When I was younger, I remember my grandma taking me to buy makeup for the FIRST time. Mary Kay was the one she chose for me. Now, back then it was LIGHT PINK lip gloss that I got for my lips. And to tell you the truth, it didn’t …

I recently purchased the Sally Hansen French Manicure kit, as I had been wanting to get a manicure but refused to pay $45 for something that probably won’t last.

My all time favorite moisturizer. I’ve been using this for more than two years and it never failed me. This cost about $10 for 6 0z. It lasts really long, almost a year for me. I use this daily too. I think it’s that it doesn’t need much to …

I used to have very hard calluses which annoyed me a lot, and I got them after walking in my heels for years. I tried a few products from known companies and while they helped a little, I did not get to see the results I was hoping for. I …

Several years ago I tried a concealer from CoverGirl which I absolutely loved. However, I never repurchased the product again since my makeup routine has always been minimal and I never really had much use for a concealer. Unfortunately, due to a lot of stress lately at …

It’s a funny thing to pay attention to, but I’ve found that Ban deoderant (Paradise Winds) is my all-time favorite deoderant. It lasts forever, (on the stick and off the stick)–and has a wonderful smell. I usually rotate the brands I buy, but have found that Ban …

I have been fairly disappointed in this product. I have very long hair that is coarse and dry. I bought L’Oreal Vive Pro Nutri Gloss Conditioner, For Medium To Long, Damaged Hair. I always need a conditioner that is very thick and rich. This one fits that description, but …

I think YSL’s lipsticks remain true to tradition, despite a few changes in the past they still keep the classic feel and color intact. Improvisations in cosmetics had improved the crude textures of most lipsticks, making them richer. But I miss the old days of painting a …

I have tried numerous hair removal products over the years, and it seems like I always come back to shaving. Even with all the promises and claims of waxing or hair removal creams, stating that they will last longer than shaving, I have found that shaving is the …

This Mascara is a new Mascara from Avon. There is a lot of mascaras in Avon, but I tend to try the new ones that come out as they are usually on a good offer at first. I admit that most of the ones that I have bought I …

I have been a user and a fan of Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing Gentle Scrub for a long time because it was able to get rid of my painful acne one time and it was pretty effective. It began when I used to suffer from red and …
