Herbacin Kamille Hand Cream
I picked up a tube of Herbacin because it had been voted Best Hand Cream by Chatelaine in 2008. Having previously used Glysomed, I assumed Herbacin would be quite similar to it, but I was pleasantly surprised at their differences.
I do not like using lotions or creams that are heavily …

Essie Nail Polish in Eternal Optimist
With all the vivid colors in my mani-pedi kit, it’s good to have a neutral shade that goes well no matter the season. A fail-safe color may not strike a conversation which seems to be purposely part of the reason why I like getting busy with my nails. …
Gold Bond Medicated Body Lotion Triple Action Relief
Unfortunately, the best body moisturizer that I have ever found for when my skin is so dry that it is itchy smells terrible. I wish the body lotions that smell great would work as well as Gold Bond Medicated Body Lotion, but they just don’t. I am not talking …
O.P.I. on Collins Avenue Nail Lacquer (NL-B76)
I love red-coloured nail polish, and it brings out the color and contrast even more when you have fair skin, so I tried out this shade and it’s a crème-based nail polish that looks really glossy and sheen when applied. The color is quite reddish with a tinge of …
BareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation, Medium Beige
I always shied away from using any kind of foundation because I did not want to be one of those people with powdery or oily, cake-y faces. I finally tried BareMinerals after my friend recommended it, and especially because I have a ton of acne scars that I really …
Nichido Juicy Lips in Hawaiian Punch
This is the second best find I have made in the local makeup counters. So far I have reviewed Nichido Juicy Lips in Apple Cider and how it made my lip color become even and natural looking with its nude (but not washed out) look. This time I will …
E.L.F Wet Gloss Lash and Brow Clear Mascara
This comes in a double sided tube and is one of the best and cheapest product I ever found. For only $1 from E.L.F (eyeslipsface) I would stock up on these if I’d knew it would be that good. I bought this from their site for none of the …
Terracota Bronzing Brush by Guerlain
Recently, my tretinoine-induced patchy skin is becoming more noticeable under the rectifying heat of the sun. My usual light touches in make up can melt unmasking my imperfections quite badly. Usually, this calls for a heavier coverage. I often wear a mattifying foundation over a corrective …

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

ACE Vitamin Cream Moisturizer
I’m very nitpicky with my moisturizers. My ever existing acne has led me to buy plenty of moisturizers, so much so that a moisturizer becomes an object of desire as it is a source of puzzlement…and rage. I’ve gone through good ones and (some) bad ones. …

Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss
I am very displeased with this product. Overall, this lip gloss couldn’t stand a chance even next to a cheap dollar store gloss.

MAC Penultimate Eye Liner

Revlon Curling Iron Model RV052 3/4 inch

Sometimes I like to add a really special and dramatic effect to my eyes, and for that some impressive eyelashes are an important point. My eyelashes are naturally long, what makes it easier to make them stand up, but sometimes we need the help of cosmetics to make them …
Exacta 2 woman’s razor
