Recently, someone I know gave me a bottle of the Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Colour. It was a dark blue nail polish and the shade was number 250 in the range which was called “Blue It”. I thought this sounded like a fun …

I used to this concealer every day to cover up my acne scars, under eye bags and blackheads. I honestly thought this was a God send when I initially bought it because it took me ages to find a product that could do those jobs properly and didn’t cost …

I am sure that all women can relate to what winter dryness can do to our heels. Dry cracking heels are very uncomfortable and quite unsightly. I bought this product bare foot Heel&Callus Balm to try and heal my dry cracking heels.
On the packaging the product …

The Pond’s DreamFlower Talc has been around ever since I can remember. Although its packaging and design has changed many times over the years it is still something I am very fond of and enjoy using.
The earlier version was just a simple high quality body talcum powder with a …

Having been the victim of oily and acne-prone skin for my teenage years as well the early portion of my adulthood, the term “face lotion” was always a BIG no-no for me. So when I was recommended this acne treatment lotion, I had my reservations.
It comes in a 2 …

Avon’s Night Magic roll on deodorant in “evening musk” is wonderful. It has that nice musk scent that is not overpowering. It is powdery-musk scented and glides onto your skin smoothly with its roller ball applicator. One bad thing is that with more liquid deodorants you …

I found it very interesting how every new Lash Blast mascara that they were different colors, and they were always bright, bold and very unique looking. Definitely not like other mascara tubes. I had good results from most of the mascaras in the Lash Blast by Cover Girl so …

I have tried countless self-tanners over the years. Some give me a super-dark look, and sometimes that can look fake. So in the winter time, I usually try to find a self-tanner that is more subtle. So when I came across Nivea Sun-Kissed Skin Firming Gradual …

My hair, if not treated properly, can be quite unruly and frizzy. Garnier’s Anti-Frizz cream didn’t really relieve this problem. I noticed a slight improvement in shininess, but it really did nothing for my frizz issue. On the plus side, this product smells fabulous! And it comes in a …

Having been very impressed recently with Avon’s Planet Spa range I was eager to test out any other products from this deliciously scented range that I could. The Thailand Lotus Flower fragrance really appealed to me especially as it contains coconut milk, so having already owned the body …

This deep wrinkle treatment is better than I thought it was going to be. I tried it for the first time yesterday and I really like it. I really like the consistency of the cream. It’s not too oily like a lot of creams are, I often worry that …

This has no strong scent.
This has a medium to full coverage depending on application.
The retail price for this is around Php60 or around US$1.40.
My Experience and Opinion
To start off, Caress is a local cosmetic brand …

The Product
Flamingo shade actually has a second name but I just forgot what it was because it does not indicate in the tube. Anyway, this shade is a straight jelly orange color with no shimmers or chunky glitters.
The container is a plastic squeeze tube with a slant-tip applicator.
This has …

I like to play with different styles for my hair, and sometimes I like a little body and curl, so I bought a curling iron that seemed to have nice reviews at the time, the Helen of Troy Hot Tools Curling Iron Model 1101r. It cost me $75.
What …

I have wanted to write a review about Schwarzkopf Gliss Asia Straight Shampoo for quite a while now but I have been delaying writing it and now the bottle is almost empty. I guess the reason for the delay was the fact that although I usually like shampoos made by …

I recently purchased the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I bought this the day that it was released from Urban Decay. I felt incredibly lucky to get my hands on this because it is very high in demand in the beauty world. It is the sequel to the Naked …

Chances are, you saw a monster display of the latest Maybelline mascara at your local walmart for the last few weeks, and if not, you probably will soon! One by one, Maybelline Mascara Volum ‘Express is set for a wide distribution next month and I had the chance to …

For years, even decades, the Dr Hauschka company has been famous mostly for its highly regarded Day Rose Cream, made with essential oil of Bulgarian rose, intended for nourishment and softening of dry skin and for protection against the weather. (A lot of its word-of-mouth spreading fame derives from the …

I don’t usually believe that beauty creams will really do what the package indicates they will. Acne medicine simply cleans the affected area and opens pores. But the zit isn’t going anywhere until it’s good and ready. However, Palmer’s Even Tone Fade Cream really does improve …

I believe that this shade is discontinued or has been renamed, the colour is a high shimmer red with a gold undertone and an ever so slight hint of brown. It is an absolutely excellent colour to go for a dramatic look in the night. Having said it is …

I have been wearing glasses all of my life. Aside from the frustration of losing them or scratching their lenses, one of the worst things about wearing glasses is cleaning them. After becoming frustrated from using items that leave a film on my eyeglass lenses, I decided …

Taking care of my hair is certainly something that is important to me. This is especially because my hair can get really wild and out of control easily. I like to keep my hair tame, untangled and looking natural. The only way for me to do that is to …

I’m really fond of reading beauty forums and websites. This is where I learn of the high-end cosmetics and also their cheap alternatives. I’m a MAC fan but unfortunately I cannot afford to replace all my makeup with MAC. I’ve read about a certain brand called NYX that is …

I love putting on makeup just as much as the next girl, but I absolutely hate the process of trying to take it off. Most makeup products are extremely stubborn when it comes to taking them off, especially certain foundation and mascara products that are made to be long …

Using this product was one of my biggest hair mistakes ever. I tried it about a year ago and I am still trying to repair my hair from the damage that the straightener did to it.
I have thick, curly, coarse hair that gets frizzy in the …

A few days ago I wrote a review about another Fa shower product which was on the base of cream and my opinion about it was pretty negative and I must say that this product is not much better, if not even worst. I am terrible disappointed in the …

Before I started using eye primer I didn’t realize how important it was for my eye shadow. It just always seemed dull and always needed a retouch. I don’t really purchase makeup from Mary Kay because their prices are outrageous for some of the stuff they sell. Luckily, I …

After trying a Jasmine oil serum from this line and absolutely loving it, I decided to pick up this protein mist as well. One of the main reasons why I was attracted to product was the fact that it contains protein which helps to strengthen the hair. …

I’ve been using this product for almost 2 months and have not noticed any permanent effects on my hands. After applying it, yes it does seem softer, but the sun spots have not diminished. It does feel greasy at times especially when I start to sweat. I do the …

This well-known skin care product is produced by a very respected cosmetics company, Dr Hauschka, and has been a favourite with many celebrities (I admit, I became intrigued by this well-known cream, and eventually bought it, precisely because I read many film stars are reported to use it.)
And so, a …

I had to get a new toothbrush a few weeks back and decided to get one of those electric ones I’d seen people in adverts using but had never bothered to get myself. I had a look around on the internet and eventually settled on the Oral-B Prof Care …

I’m a typical girl with very find hair that really has close to no volume at all. I am always trying to rememdy the situation by looking for products that can create the illusion of thicker, more volmptuous hair. One of these products was Pantene Pro-V’s Volumizing hairspray.
Now, …

I have been impressed so far with Belo’s cosmetic products especially after I have tried this “whitening day cover”. I was not really a fan with their facial wash. Several years back, they did not manufacture “for men” products so I used their main products. I used L’Oreal Men for …

I have been a fan of Belo Essentials for years and since my recent activities have rendered my skin exposed to the sun, I have uneven skin tone in my face. Since so far I have never been disappointed by this line, I tried switching to their Skin Hydrating …

The smell is very nice, it has a slightly floral smell and you can smell the tea tree oil in it, as it has a tingly smell which tea tree usually has. The moisturiser also smells quite creamy; the scent of it is mild however you can smell the …

Benetint is a very popular product by the cosmetic line Benefit (found at Macys and Nordstroms). Its a lip and cheek stain purchased made of rosewater designed to give your lips the “I’ve been sucking on a Popsicle” red and your cheeks the, “I just ran up the stairs” …

I like using body oils and one of the few brands that I trust would be Neutrogena. Before I bought my own oil, I was able to have an opportunity to try it out when I showered in my sister’s bathroom. I saw that she had a nice tall …

This is a very sexy and deep red shade of Mac Tinted Lipglass lipgloss and it’s called Russian Red. The shade is a very rich and dark red that’s almost black and blue in colour. It’s like the shadows of this hue are almost blue and the deep red …

This is a new concept in moisturizing. This skin conditioner works like hair conditioner. You rub it on your body at the end of your shower and then rinse it off. It says that it works with the water on your skin and the humidity of …

I have been using the Sally Hansen Nail Polish removers for a very long time now. Sally Hansen Nail products are really good quality and not as expensive as some of the other brands out there. I have Nail polishes from this brand that is with me …

I have been using this product since high school and I am madly in love with it. Whoever came up with the idea to make a foundation that is a mousse is a genius. I love it because it doesn’t feel as gross as it does to …

After testing out a lot of highly-recommended sunblocks, I have to say that the best one for me is the Hawaiian Tropic Baby Faces and Tender Places SPF50. I use this every time I go on vacation to sun-intensive places such as the beach. I was initially …

What is more beautiful than having a tan in the summer months? I guess nothing. But since the sun rays are damaging our skin and solarium is not doing much better we try to get tan with different products. There is a whole variety of them available to us …

I was instantly attracted to the color when I saw my friend wearing OPI nail polish in Pink Flamenco because it is a really bold color which is sure to catch attention. I asked her if I could just buy her nail polish because we do not have Sephora …

I have sensitive skin, so I use facial scrubs only once or twice a week and my favourite new one is Garnier Skin Naturals Deep Scrub Gel, which has proven to be very gentle on my face. This scrub gel is from Garniers Pure line and is dermatologist tested.

I am reviewing the Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner today, one of many Body Shop products that I’ve devoted my life (and spending money) to, because this toner is incredible! This toner is just heaven in a bottle; it’s a cute pink bottle with a flip up cap, …

The Product
The container is pretty identical to a marker pen. It is slim and black in color.
This has a pointed felt-tip applicator for a precise application on the eyelids.
This has no particular scent.
This applies like a liquid liner but lines like an eyeliner pencil.
This is only US$1 in the …

Long before the dandruff were spreading on my scalp, I know for sure that it wasn’t because of my diet or my poor hygiene routine. I always clean my hair. Treat it like it is my crowning glory. Who doesn’t?
I tried different shampoos. If there’s new brand commercial aired …

Here I am with another review of another cosmetic product. This time it is something I totally detested. I know, I have been giving only positive reviews for make-up products so far, as I have not usually been terribly disappointed with any product I have used.
Clean & Clear Deep …

I saw this mascara on the shelf at my local beauty store. I hadn’t really heard of it before, but because it is made my Technic, I decided to go for it, because for me, Technic is the best lower cost brand of makeup products out there.
