Like most women, I am in pursuit of finding the right hair removal product for me. And in the past I have used Sally Hansen Hair Removal Lotion even if it was very expensive. I only heard about it from my close friend who had tried it and said …
Olay Touch of Sun Daily UV Facial Moisturizer
After trying a few different self-tanning moisturizers, Olay’s Touch of Sun ranks as my favorite. First of all, it doesn’t turn orange after application, it gives you a nice, natural looking tan. The cream has a nice, light scent, and the texture is slippery, not oily. …

Zerran Equalizer - Leave In or Rinse Conditioner & Detangler

Olay Total Effects
I have been using Olay since my teen years. They have released Total Effects 2 years ago. The product claims to have rejuvenate skin and promises seven effects on the skin. Let me enumerate my review:

Choosing a right foundation is one of the toughest task in a woman’s life. First the shade of foundation should be accurate or you end up looking ghostly white or horribly tanned. Again everyone’s requirement of coverage is also different, some require high coverage foundation and …
Gillette CustomPlus Pivot Razors
I am extremely picky about the razors that I use on my legs, or any part of my body for that matter. I understand that men need good razors for the sensitive skin of their face, but we women have sensitive skin too, and it covers far more of …

Blue 65 cm Puncture Resistant Exercise Ball With Hand Pump
I actually bought a few fitness balls in the past, including Blue 65 cm Puncture Resistant Exercise Ball which was bought online worth $20. It was made by Blue but because they lasted only for a little while, and so I need to buy another one which would last …
Canmake Eyebrow Liquid pen (shade 02)
I am not really a huge eyebrow product fan, but I have to buy eyebrow pencils and makeup because I have very light, sparse haired eyebrows and I really, really need definition in this aspect. Since I have spent a long time in Sasa wondering what other makeup I …
Sure Men Sport Special Edition anti-perspirant
Recently I decided to try a different antiperspirant from those which I had been using for the most part, since although I was reasonably satisfied with most of them I did still have a few niggly problems here and there. I thought it would be rather nice if I …
Dove Anti-Dandruff Moisturizing Lotion

L’Oreal Infallible Advanced Never Fail Makeup Nude Beige
The L’Oreal Infallible Advanced Never Fail Makeup Nude Beige color had a lot to live up to with a name like that. I’m very used to using Revlon colorstay. That’s been my make-up, for the most part, for the past ten years, with the exception of a few times …
Maybelline Coverstick Concealer

Jillian Dempsey for Avon Professional Multi-Pencil
I purchased this product as part of my recent Avon order. The product is a multi-pupose make up pencil that can be used for lips, cheeks, and eyes. Each lip pencil comes with two sides of color, each one different. The one I chose was …

Eskinol Oxygen Skin Renew Facial Wash/Gentle Mask

MAC - Shock-O-Late AC4 (Lipglass)
Shock-O-Late
What do you think of that name?
Does it mean, “Have you been shocked lately?” or “Why are you acting like you’re in shock. You’re late!” LOL
I think it’s creative. I initially thought the last part was Latte and not Late. Let’s just leave it at that. LOL
I am not …
Lush Honey Trap Lip Balm
I ran out of my favorite Rosebud Salve and I badly needed one because I had really chapped and dry lips that time. I did not want to use Chapstick because I have had bad experience from using it in the past. Anyway, I told my sister about it …

Totally Juicy Deep Pore Peel-Off Masque
I have always loved peel off masks. There is something so cathartic about ripping off a mask and taking all the dead skin with it. I just adore the removal and the effects. Sadly, I have been having a harder time finding peel off masks …
Garnier Skin Naturals Pure A
I have a sensitive skin (by sensitive, i mean acne ;-) ). I’ve tried using Garnier Skin Naturals Light, it’s for brighten the skin tone. I did brighten my skin, but it couldn’t stop my acne problem. So i decided to stop using the Light product and started to …

China Glaze Strong Adhesion Clear Polish Base Coat
I really like to have my fingernails manicured and painted, but that being said, I almost never get the results that I am looking for when I attempt to do my own nails at home. For some reason, the polish seems to bubble up or even if I do …
Calligraphy Liquid Eyeliner
I recently purchased the Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid Eyeliner from Sephora. It was described as a “breakthrough product” and that always gets my attention. I am a sucker for hyped up makeup products which probably explains why I am always buying things from Sephora just because the saleslady recommends something …
Becca Luminous Skin Color Foundation
I got this a while back and just found it in the back of my stash. This is an old Sephora favorite that came in a large variety of shades, so I picked out the one that flattered me best. This cost me $40, and you do get a …
