Redken Ringlet 07 Curl Perfector

Gale Hayman Miracle Manicure hand cream
The Gale Hayman Miracle Manicure hand cream is quite pricey, but it’s claimed to do so much for your skin.

Olay Body body wash and lotion ribbons

Clean and Clear Persa-gel 10 acne cream

Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer spf 20
I recently received a Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer with spf 20 as a sample at Sephora. All I have to say about this product is: I am glad it was only a sample and not something I paid money for!
I suppose the only good use for this would …

Champneys Collection purify and cleanse SOS mud mask

Aveeno Active Naturals Continuous Protection sunblock lotion SPF 70
Aveeno Active Naturals Continuous Protection sunblock lotion SPF 70 can be good or bad depending on your preference. I bought it to use as my daily moisturizer hoping to prevent wrinkles and excess sun damage. If you are the type that burns easily and never tans, this lotion …
VMV Eye Make-up
By talking about Eye Make-up we usually remember about the girls having their eye brows altered with Eye Make-Up like eye liner eye lashes. But by discussing about this we aren’t discussing about that “declaration that start with B” one who’s to demanding to seduce your guy and snap …
Paul Mitchell The Detangler super rich conditioner

Benefit Cosmetics Erase Paste (medium)
I really like Benefit, but I’m definitely not a fan of this particular product. The consistency makes it more than difficult to use, it just feels gross. They have very limited colors to choose from, and I don’t like that it tries to combine brightening effects with a concealer …
L’Oreal UV Perfect Advanced Fluid Protector

MAC Studio Finish Concealer with SPF 35
Before I jumped into that hype of ‘light-reflecting concealers that sounds in-vogue these days and have totally become the next fast-selling batch of makeup concealers, it was my tried and true MAC Studio Finish Concealer which served me well in hiding my insecurities and skin imperfections. This is …

Tweezerman Ltd. Mini Brow Kit
I don’t usually spend close to $20 on a kit of tools for my eyebrows, but, well… my eyebrows need a lot of help, and I can’t always rely on pencils and powders to turn them into gorgeous accessories on my face! I used to over-tweeze when I was …
Velvet Tuberose Shower Gel

Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen Spray
Hawaiian Tropic Continuous Spray SPF 55 Ultimate Ozone Sunscreen Spray is not one of my favorite Hawaiian Tropic products. They usually have a pretty good sunscreen product, but not the best. However, this is the worst for a few reasons. First, I think that this whole …
Freeman Pineapple Facial Enzyme Mask
When it comes to facial masks, I’m all for it! I love facial masks, but the FREEMAN Feeling Beautiful Facial Enzyme Mask in Pineapple & Banana did not impress me! There is a lot of product in the bottle, 6 fl oz, but it’s not good product. It say’s …
Pond’s Deep Cleansing Facial Scrub With Volcanic Clay
I have been continually fascinated by Pond’s latest facial cleansing products. They have appealed to the consumers who prefer naturally-based products and I love how they are so resourceful in coming up with new ideas. Just months ago, they have created a facial wash with Camellia Leaf Extract and …
Garnier Ultra Dolce Shampoo madreperla e fiori di ciliegio
Sometimes my daughters bring me shampoos from Italy because they usually buy them when they are on action, and that saves me some money and also saves me a trip to the shop. I must say that this second fact is much more important for me because I don’t …
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent

Venus Embrace Razor
So, I decided to buy the venus embrace razor with disposable blades. It is supposed to be a step up from the existing razor that I already have (regular venus razor). This one is purple in color vs. the teal color I’m used to and quite honestly the blades …
Suave Naturals Lavender Vanilla Body Lotion

Eshu Shave Cream
I often skip using shaving cream because I find it expensive and too much hassle when you are cleaning your face. As an alternative, I always use water. The problem is that shaving is always incomplete when you are just using nothing. Not to mention the irritation your skin might …
Lancome Ageless Minerale
Lancome Ageless Minerale is the best makeup I have ever used. Against the advice of several cosmetics professionals, who told me that mineral makeup made lines, creases and wrinkles more noticeable, I tried Lancome’s version of this powder foundation. Much to my surprise, I noticed a significant reduction in …
Edge Sensitive Skin with Aloe Shave Gel
As someone who has fast-growing facial hair, I have to say, I’m always looking for a better shave any way I can get it. I wish I were more like my old man (who takes a week just to grow peach fuzz) but that’s not an option for me, …
La Prairie Cellular Treatment Foundation and Concealer
I did not like powder foundations because to use a powder blush on your cheek, you need a fluffy brush. Secondly to ensure even application, you have to make sure to dust your cheeks with translucent or foundation powder first to matte down your moisturizer or oil on your …
Skin Contact Sensitive Hydrating Shower Gel from Axe
Honestly, as the usual Axe essentials are slowly becoming less and less trustable (including their line of deodarants), the one thing that I have come to learn and trust from Axe is to never underestimate their shower gels. These things, as well as the new “deep” cleaner, have yet …
Dove Go Fresh Therapy Shampoo
I used Dove Go Fresh Therapy Shampoo for the first time this week. This was a grapefruit and lemongrass scent. Dove has so many interesting products, and some are more successful than others.
When I was washing my hair with Dove Go Fresh Therapy Shampoo, I liked the …
Bare Minerals Makeup
I am not really one to like that dramatic looking face painted on makeup look. I prefer to go natural and still look flawless. Which is impossible right, Wrong. I hate the feel of makeup on my face to it feels like something is just caked on weighing me …
