I am a big fan of liquid eyeliner. If I have to make the choice between pencil and liquid, I always choose liquid. However, liquid is a lot harder to successfully apply to the eyes. It is hard enough to manage getting eyeliner on without poking yourself, not to …
MAC Lip Pencil in Life’s a Breeze
I’m currently using a MAC lip pencil in a shade, with a catchy name, called Life’s a Breeze. According to the saffron-colored packaging it’s a limited edition lip pencil from MAC’s To the beach collection. My cousin sent me this lip pencil.
If life were really a breeze, …
Kiko Milano Skin Evolution Concealer

Mario Badescu Healing and Soothing Mask
I started having a severe acne problem due to birth control pills but the doctor did not advise changing my birth control medication until I have finished a full menstrual cycle. This would have been another couple of weeks. In the meantime, my pimples were multiplying and I had …
Sephora Tourmaline Flat Iron
I am always wary of buying new hair straightening irons. They are expensive and only few work really well. I have had a CHI Hair Straightener for six years. That is how loyal I am to my hair straightener manufacturer. However, I knew that it was time to purchase …
Alba un-petroleum jelly
I bought this multi-purpose jelly online after watching one of the beauty gurus on YouTube rave about it. She claimed that this jelly was much like Vaseline, only better because it did not clog your pores. I decided to give it a try because every time I put Vaseline …

Nivea Touch of Sparke Body Wash

Sweet Breath Spearmint Breath Spray
Sweet Breath Spearmint Breath Spray works like magic - one quick spray, and your breath is instantly nice and fresh. I’ve always thought that a good breath freshening spray works much better than gum or mints, especially if you are having a meeting. You wouldn’t want to be chewing, …
Nivea Intensive Body Milk for Very Dry Skin

Clairol Renewal 5X Shampoo
Clairol Renewal 5X Shampoo is a good line of shampoo that, unfortunately, is no longer so easily available as before. You could buy it at any Walmart, K-Mart, or Walgreens; now you’ll have to do an extensive search online to find it. Coming from a trusted name brand, Clairol …
Loreal Casting Creme Gloss in Amber

Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Body Lotion
I absolutely love this lotion; except I do not love its high price tag. I find that it does not go on sale often enough and the retail price is 20 USD for a 6.7 fluid ounce bottle. To me, that’s a lot of money. I …
DiorBlush Edition Dentelle 839 Vintage Pink
I am more aware of Dior line of fragrances since I have owned one of her perfumes before and I rarely think about Dior makeups since I have always thought that, most of them are far beyond my budget. Luckily, when one of my friends who was coming …
Ebelin Nail Polish Remover (Almond)
Firstly I have to say that on the bottle it says this one is almond scented, I do not know why because it smells like a nail polish remover and there is no scent of almond anywhere to be smelled. The scent is strong and unpleasant as your regular …
Etude House Nail Lacquer in GR605
I stripped my nails of all vanities the last week. I used to think of my nails collectively as a piece of hardware like a brass necklace or a cocktail ring —“ mere fashion accessories, sort of. But my cuticles were dehydrated after all that nail abuse, …
Lush Soak and Float Solid Shampoo
I once had very bad dandruff. It was like you see on those Head & Shoulder commercials. I would literally leave flakes of dry scalp everywhere. It was pretty disgusting and I also lost a ton of hair due the problem, along with bad smelling hair. I tried a …
Fair & Lovely Multivitamin Total Fairness Cream
I got a tube of this product together with the Multivitamin cleanser from my sister who is working in Dubai. I am not really into the whole whitening craze, as most of the people from my country are, but I figured I could do well with some brightening. Since …
Jane Eye Zing Super Smooth Shadow
I originally bought this to complement a Halloween costume. It wasn’t technically a costume, but it was for a party, and I was wearing a bright orange flapper-style dress. I wanted some eye shadow that had as much pop and color as the dress I was wearing. Most of …
Secret Clinical Strength Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

Too Faced Smurfette eyeliner
Glitter in eyeliner form. I love it. Also, it comes in a Smurfette design! Who could resist, obviously not me, so I picked it up, not caring how much it cost. This is a limited edition release anyway, so it was probably the only chance I had. The design …
NYX Eyeshadow in Sahara
The NYX eyeshadow in Sahara was actually my mother’s, but she knew how much I enjoyed makeup, and she didn’t think the color was right for her, so she gave it to me to try out. I don’t have a lot of NYX products (only about three products from …
Pears soap
Pears is a soap which has no special qualities but is a soap which simply cleans our body very well. This soap is very transparent and my daughter loves to have bath with this soap. It has nice smell. It comes in many varieties, such as, …
Revlon moondrops lipstick
Revlon is known for producing excellent, quality classic cosmetics. My favourite of this product is Revlon Moondrops Lipstick. The reason? Smooth application and minimum re application. It comes in both textures a shine and a matte. In my experience the shine overpowers the matte in relevance to quality, colour …
Avon Anew Clinical Lift and Tuck Professional Body Perfection

MAC Kohl Eyeliner in Smolder
MAC Kohl Eyeliner in Smolder is 0.048 oz. and costs about $14.50. You can get this at any MAC store or counter. I don’t really like this eyeliner because the staying power isn’t very good. It stays on for about thirty minutes before coming off. You can hardly tell …

Watsons Bird’s Nest Essence Facial Mask
Although Watsons drugstore keeps coming up with a lot of their own house brand skin and hair care products I wasn’t ever keen on trying any of them. I usually am all for house brand grocery products at the supermarkets as they are cheaper and of good quality. …
L’Oreal Voluminous Eyeliner
This is a liquid eyeliner and normally I don’t like liquid eyeliners all that much but his is definitely a very good liquid eyeliner. It’s not enough to make me completely love liquid eyeliners more than pencil eyeliners, eyeliners and definitely cream eyeliners.
I really love that this liquid eyeliner …
Neutrogena SkinClearing Blemish Concealer (MicroClear)

Stila Convertible Color in Peony

Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Shave Cream

Pond’s Beauty Detox Cream

Burt’s Bees Naturally Ageless Day Lotion

Dior Addict lipstick
I can say that I’m much of a lipbalm / lipgloss person. Perhaps I don’t think I’m too vain with my lips as long as it’s moisturized. One day I got curious about buying something new or maybe I’m such an impulse-buyer that I ended up buying this lipstick. …
Le Vernis Nail Polish by Lancome
I don’t use nail polish so often. But sometimes, I would like to put some color on my nails. And I choose Le Vernis Nail Polish from Lancome. The price was not as cheap as the other brands but the quality of the nail polish is better than others. …
RITM Toner
Acne breakouts really make me go crazy especially if the condition seems to get worse without a potent solution on hand. Last year, around Christmas time, I had a massive breakout. Previously, I only had a few random sprouts here and there (a typical consequence of excessive summer …
Got2B Shagged Out Texturizing Liquid Fiber
This Got2B Shagged Out Texturizing Liquid Fiber was one of the very first Got2b products that I’ve ever used. I didn’t get good results from this at all and I’m very glad that I didn’t stop using products by Got2B because I love their newer products and I’m very …
