Vaseline Mens body and face hand lotion
I’m not into all that body lotion stuff when it comes to men but there comes a time in a man’s life when I have to use something that is going to give me moisture during the winter time. My skin gets really dry in the winter for some …
L’Oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle+Firming Day Cream
Work and studies put together sounded so haggard. Yes, they really do. After a day of work, I still had to put on my pajamas and work on to a five-page book assignment. Waking up with bag-free eyes seemed so impossible back then and I have to hide my …
Olay Pro-X-Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30
It inevitable that we age, if you don’t notice everyday we get older. For me, it is not the age that bothers me but rather the signs in your skin that would manifest aging. Our skin plays an important role in how we feel about ourselves and what is …
Jergens Soft Shimmer Skin Radiance Moisturizer
I am very fair complected and find it difficult to tan. It’s not an issue during the long Canadian winter months, but in the summer I like to have a bit of a golden glow.
My Cosmetician suggested I buy Jergens Soft Shimmer Skin Radiance Moisturizer, which would give me …
Gillette Odor Shield All Day Clean Body Wash
I have no honest idea why on earth I buy so many body washes. We like to have one in the shower and I guess I get bored a lot and buy a new one. I think I may just buy whatever they have on …
MAC prep + prime skin base visage 30ml
I’ll begin by offering a review of the packaging. The cardboard packaging is black with speckles of purple and green glitter which i believe makes it more appealing to the eye rather than just the normal black bogstandard MAC packaging. The container itself is also black with purple and …
Philosophy The Coffee House Lip Set
I am usually not a fan of strong scented lip wear unless the smell really good. Philosophy’s Coffee House lip set is one of my favorite. I am a big coffee fan for starters and I can safely say I can not leave without coffee. I usually have my …
MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme (Overtime)
Prior to purchasing the MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in the shade Overtime back in March, I had somewhat limited but very successful experience with lip products from MAC Cosmetics. In fact, my experiences with MAC lip products had been so positive that it was the only brand I considered …
Covergirl Lash Exact
Ok so I bought it because of the brush - it looked soo cool, with its purple plastic bristles. But here’s the quick breakdown - it does what it says — to stop clumps from coming to your lashes b/c the clumps are eliminated on the brush. Yet…I …
Luster’s Pink Plus 2-N-1 Scalp Soother & Oil Sheen
I have had completely natural or non-chemically processed African American hair for about 3 months. There are very few products that I used prior to my hair transition that I still use now, and Luster’s Pink Plus 2-N-1 Scalp Soother & Oil Sheen is one of them.
According to …
Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Mod Poppy
I once had a love affair with Estee Lauder’s cosmetics when I got myself a makeup set from them not a long time ago. I was left wishfully wanting for their lip gloss, since I chose the lipstick over it, which I didn’t like. The lipstick was …
OPI Bubble Bath Nail Polish
This is another great OPI nail polish that I have purchased. Normally I prefer to buy polishes that are more striking in color, but I ended up buying this one because I was looking for a more neutral tone for my french manicures. One of the reasons …
St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer

Dove deodorant
For many years, I tried different deodorants. Without fail, they would flake up and show on my clothes or not work. When I worked in a gym, I used Degree for women but it sometimes stung when I applied it following shaving my armpits. Several years …
Estee Lauder High Gloss in Honey
I got this mini tube of Estee Lauder lip gloss as part of a bonus that came with a purchase. I believe it was at Nordstrom. I think this shade of gloss (Honey) was put in the gift, because the intention was that it should be paired up with …

MAC Plush Lash Mascara

Aveeno Anti-Itch Gel Spray
I LOVE this product. I can’t say enough good things about this. I recently broke out in a rash while on vacation, due to a reaction to the sun and medication I was taking.
I ended up with dots that itched like crazy all over my arms and legs. I …
Clinique Eye Shadow
My skin is pretty sensitive to make-up. I’ve experienced flare-ups and itching on my face with some brands. Happily, Clinique is one brand that my face seems to love. But there’s more that I like about Clinique eye shadows than just being hypoallergenic.
I love how the product spreads evenly and …
Power Nature Herbal Soap - 21 Herbs
I normally use liquid body washes but of late I find myself gravitating more towards using good old soaps. There is just something nice about using a bar of soap, it’s quick, easy and leaves me with a cleaner and fresher feel than the liquid body washes. …
Freetress Creta Girl Wig
I purchased the Creta Girl Wig by Freetress after seeing so many ladies from a hair forum rave about it. These ladies rocked the style of this wig so hard, I just had to get my hands on the wig! It’s a super curly, big, and bouncy wig, soft …
Coppertone Sport Continuous Spray Sunscreen

I originally bought this because I …

I do not remember exactly when and where I purchased this product, but I do know that I absolutely hate it. Most of the time I do try to find some benefit in using a particular product but this one absolutely has none. I do not understand …
Jet Set Hair Styling Gel
I don’t use a lot of different products in my hair because I know or have heard and read about incidents where you mix certain products together (not on purpose) But maybe you put a little of this and a little of that because one product may do one …
MAC Shale eyeshadow
I originally acquired MAC Shale eyeshadow in a palette several years ago. However, I did not really try it because in the pan it just looked like a boring purple and I do not wear purple eyeshadow by itself very often. One day recently, however, I was …
Loreal Hip Studio Secrets Concentrated Eye Shadow
This is probably one of the most pigmented eye shadow I own aside from my favorite MAC ones. I was browsing Loreal’s counter in our local departmental store and I could not get my eyes off the HIP eye shadows. They are so beautiful sitting in its pan and I …
L’Oreal Bare Naturale Powdered Mineral Foundation
I decided to try this because I was curious about all comments I heard about it. I used it and found out that it is really not impressive, just a bad mineral powder nothing more! The packaging is too crappy for me. Each time I opened it, there was …

Even though I already own several black eyeliners, I simply could not resist picking up this product in Rabidblack. At the time, I was looking for an eyeliner that would help me create dramatic makeup looks for going out. While I normally use pencil eye products, I …
Avent Products
I’ve been using Avent products for a year now and keep on using it for my 1 year old baby.

Here are some of the advantages I’ve experienced from 1 year of using Avent products:
1. Anti-colic. Avent …

I bought a product called Exposed Acne Treatment a few months ago when I had a lot of big pimples because of my period. I tried some products, all claiming to be good for moderately severe acne, but none worked for me to help manage any future breakouts as …
Menscience Advance Face Lotion
Menscience’s product “Advance Face Lotion” appealed to me because I was told by a friend that it is a great product as it leaves on traces of using moisturizer on your face. I was skeptical of idea of a face lotion at first but after my use, I was impressed. …
Victoria’s Secret Loose Shimmer Shadow
I usually don’t ever fall for add-on sales pitches, but while placing my last order over the phone for some Victoria’s Secret items, I did just that, and I am glad I did. I was ordering some yoga pants and a sweater from a catalogue, and at the end …
Skintimate Moisturizing Shave Gel Raspberry Rain
