Remington S7210 One Inch Flat Iron
I have used curling irons all my life, so when the new flat irons came out and people were using them to curl hair I had to try it myself. I wondered how a product made to straighten hair could curl it also. I watched some videos on YouTube to …
Revlon ColorStay Just Bitten Lip Stain
The Revlon ColorStay Just Bitten Lip Stain in Crave gets a rating of 2 out of 10 for me. Why such a harsh rating? This lip stain was great the first two times I used it. However, the product dried up so quickly that I only got a few …
Jergens Shea Butter Skin Enriching Moisturizer
Jergens Shea Butter Skin Enriching Moisturizer is a decent lotion. I enjoyed the scent which reminded me, just a little, of summertime. The smell was earthly yet had a hint of flowers. Very, very subtle. I like that. I also like the way this lotion works. It is creamy, …
Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque Facial Mask
I used to have terribly oily skin with blackheads on the sides of my nose. I decided to buy a treatment which can help me clean the pores and refine them, and I bought Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque Facial Mask for $6.07 and weighed 8 Oz from a mall. …
NARS lipstick in Roman Holiday
I’m quite sure to be developing a mania for pinks. Looking pretty random, I personally hate the color on inanimate objects. I tend to go with fail-safe shades for my lips whichever complements my elegant coloring. I am familiar to NARS lipsticks as I’ve used …
Bonnebell Eye Liner in Hot Cocoa
Anyone ever have a day when you just wish for a good eye liner? I did and I needed one bad. A friend recommended Bonnebell Eye Definer. I liked what I had immediately after the first use, and began to try all the different kinds they offer. My favorite …
Pure Romance Body Dew After Bath Oil Body MIst
I discovered Body Dew last year when I was invited to attend a Pure Romance Party. My girlfriend and I were the oldest women there, and we were a little shocked at the wide assortment of “adult toys” offered. While I was enjoying myself, I was pretty sure I …
Clean and Clear Pore Toner
This comes in an 8 oz. plastic bottle. The bottle is blue with Clean and Clear written on top. It is also a clear bottle so that you can see how much is left and buy a new one before it runs out.
This toner works well at cleaning …
Aapri Exfoliating Facial Scrub Cream
Like many people, I have an oily type of skin that actually makes me prone to get big, red pimples all over. I hate it, but it happens. Fortunately, I use Aapri Exfoliating Facial Scrub Cream which works for me. There was a time when I would try …
Revlon ColorSilk in Dark Ash Blonde (60)
I’ve been dyeing my hair for about 10 years now, but it had been awhile since I had actually lightened it. After having some problems with my hair turning a bit too brassy, I bought this hair dye to act as a toner and deposit some color into my …
Benefit - Glamazon Facial Bronzing Tint
I got this bronzer solely because of its cute packaging. It is so eye catchy I couldn’t take my eyes off them. I already have tons of bronzer and I am not short of any make up product really, but I just love wickedly cute packaging like this one. I …
Avon Wrinkle Corrector
My review is on the product called Anew Advaced Wrinkle Corrector. It’s a product that is sold by Avon. In my opionion I think it works. I’ve been using it now for 3 weeks.
I can feel it working. My forehead feels like it’s getting …
Avon Lift & Tuck Firming Cream
I consider Avon a good company that offers its customers quality products, a wide variety, and reasonable prices. They are constantly coming up with new and innovative products, although I have found that they also seem to discontinue products that I love. This is exactly what happened …
L’ Oreal Derma Genesis
Even from the start, I am into affordable skin products and just believe on the word of mouth. During one of my favorite magazine promotion, I received a free sample of L’ Oreal Derma Genesis 1.5mg sachet. I started using it months ago and was amazed with the …
Green Beaver Eye Makeup Remover
For the past year, I have been loving Green Beaver products. The Green Beaver Eye Makeup Remover was of course, no exception.
As can be expected with Green Beaver products, this eye makeup remover is 100% natural, biodegradable, not tested on animals, gluten free and vegan friendly. It is also …
Aussie Mega Styling Mousse - Firm Hold
I have almost waist long curly hair that tends to frizz during humid or very cold weather. As I live in Canada, one of the two extremes always seems to occur! As a result I have been using Aussie Mega Styling Mousse for about a year, and will never …
Panoxyl benzoyl peroxide
Being prone to pimple breakouts had forced me to search for the ultimate pimple zapper. There are these various creams, ointments and weird-looking stuff that promises to clear out pimples in no time. Unfortunately, most of these products simply do …
Rexona skin light with sunflower oil deodorant
The main reason I bought Rexona Skin Light with Sunflower Oil Deodorant is the shape of the bottle. I love the concept of upside-down deodorant bottles because it makes the application much quicker as the liquid is already on the ball. This is an excellent feature as I am …
Bourjois Paris Liner Feutre
I am no friend of the cat eye. They either don’t match my eyes, or look messy, or just amateurish, so I end up practicing a lot, but messing up on some minor detail and getting angry! Why is a cat eye so hard? Well, now I find it …
Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara
It seemed that the regular mascara just got its own miniature version with the Clinique bottom lash mascara. I thought of this mascara as a gimmick at the time of its release, but I was quick to dash to the counter once I saw it on sale. …
Maybelline Superstay Lip Color
I have tried both the Maybelline Superstay Lip Color and the Covergirl version and they are both pretty good. It claims to offer 16 hours of liquid color, unaffected by eating or drinking. Well, that may not be quite true, but it still does stay on pretty …
MAC Soft and Cozy Shadestick in Relaxed
Who doesn’t love MAC? Me, for one, but so far, all the products that I have tried aren’t so bad. So I’m not complaining. Until I pick up a bad tube or pan of something at least. Well, I just went to Sephora and came back with one product. …
Robert Jeffrey’s Hair Salon
Robert Jeffrey’s is a great place to get your hair done. If you live in Chicago, you know how expensive highlights or hair cuts are, but I love this business. They are very attentive and priced very well compared to other hair places in the area. The actual salon …

Jane Blush in Blushing Plum
I absolutely love it when an inexpensive makeup product turns out to be a great find that compares favorably to far more expensive products of the same type. Jane blushes can be bought at local drug stores or discount stores for just a few dollars each, sometimes on …
Garnier Light Face Powder in Ivory
I was looking for a good face powder to replace my broken one that my friend dropped. What a hassle? I went off to the mall and started scouting for the perfect one that also has SPF and at the same time gentle to my skin. I came across …
Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo
I have relaxed or chemically processed African American hair. Because my hair is coarse with low porosity, I tend to suffer from dryness. I have found a lot of great conditioners that work well on my hair, but I tend to have a harder time finding shampoos …
Smashbox Photo Finish Targeted Pore and Line Primer
I haven’t generally had much luck with primers in the past. I have oily skin and so I’ve tried primers to keep my makeup in place throughout the day so I’d have to mess with fewer touchups. Usually the dont do much of anything, or the totally make it …
Celeteque Exfoliating Facial Wash
I had used almost all of celeteque’s skincare products, except for the alcohol-free toner since I chose the oil-controlling cleanser - its other counterpart. I also had the chance to try all the facial wash, particularly the one with exfoliating beads. I switched after using the original …
Maybelline Define-a-lash length mascara
The first thing that caught my eye about Define-a-Lash mascara was it’s whimsical green tube. It definately is my favorite mascara packaging. Now if only I could say that about the mascara itself.
Many people swear by this mascara, but I was less than thrilled with it. It’s not a …
Toms of Maine Relaxing Natural Beauty Bar Soap with Calming Lavender
I love lavender soaps and especially ones that are all natural. One of my favorite lavender soaps to use is the Toms of Maine Relaxing Natural Beauty Bar Soap with Calming Lavender. I love this so especially because it has a true French lavender scent and it actually contains …
Ivory soap
As I have very sensitive skin, I must therefore be careful of the skin products that I use. Luckily, after much use, the classic version of Ivory soap has not irritated my skin in any way and has become one of my favorites. Needless to say, Ivory …
Eucerin Body Lotion with SPF 15
Given I live in a sunny place, I prefer to always use a body lotion that has a built in sun protection. I am surprised that there are not that many on the market, or at least there are not that many that I have found. I …
Ever Bilena Famous Lipstick in Peppery Pink
I have always been a fan of red lipsticks but now I want to try a lighter shade for a change. One day, I was searching for a perfect lipstick that would give me a natural pinkish boost on my lips like those of Korean actresses. Since I …
Mac Beauty Powder Blush
This is a nice beauty powder blush and my other blush crèmes are really the stain type, this one is a powder blush so you can control your usage and the colour on your cheeks, the shade is also more natural than what I normally use from Beauty Bar …
Everyday Minerals Foundation Matte Formula Powder
I am always trying new make up, especially foundations. I usually use Almay’s TLC foundation, and I love it, but it’s nice to switch it up once in a while and try something else on my skin. I have heard that it’s bad for your face to use …

I-White Nose Pack Blackhead Treatment
The I-White Nose Pack from biocostech allowed me to clear my lifelong dreaded fear of blackheads together with whiteheads. I suffered from blackheads and whiteheads as young as 14 years old and every time I chose a blackhead remover, it would never work well or it would simply cause …
Wet n Wild’s Mega Eyes Defining Marker
I bought this product for like three months ago, and at first I really liked it. The color is so bold, and really very black. It comes with a pen like brush tip, so it is not messy when you apply it on your eye lid. It feels like …
Nivea Deodorant Whitening Roll-On
I spent a summer in Thailand in 2006 for a study abroad program and brought over very little toiletries with me. Almost everything is so cheap over there so it was more convenient for me to buy those things over there than to load my suitcases with them. …
Eucerin SPF 15 Lotion for the Body
Eucerin SPF 15 Lotion for the body is a good solid lotion that I used to use every day as part of my daily routine. The lotion itself is delicate and creamy, and never used to be greasy or heavy in any way at all. Every day, …
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Nail Polish

L’Occitane Shea Butter Daily Duo Set
I like when people take care about themselves. I have a perfect example of my mother who is a very well cared-for only because of her habit to use all facilities and remedies to take care of her face and body. In spite of that she is a busy …
Caress Daily Silky Beauty Bar
I really try to stay away from bar soap as much as possible, but sometimes it seems to just plant itself right in my bathroom. Though I protest it my husband sneaks it in their every once in a while. Lately, I have shockingly started to enjoy a few …
Revlon PhotoReady Translucent Finisher
I’ve tried a few products in the Revlon PhotoReady line and have honestly not liked them all that much, but when I ran out of my usual ColorStay pressed powder, I figured I’d try something new. I like to give my skin a breather every couple of months and …
Collection 2000 Volume Sensation Lipstick in Hot Chocolate
I did not have too much spare cash to buy a new lipstick the other day so I checked out the Collection 2000 lipsticks in Boots as I know this is a cheap brand although fairly good quality. I chose this Volume Sensation lipstick, not particularly for the …
Per-Fekt Beauty Matte Body Perfection Gel
I have always dreamt of finding a tinted body lotion which can hide flaws in your body. There was one product from MAC Cosmetics that was recommended by a friend to me but I could not find one. When I visit stores in Hong Kong and Singapore that sells …
