Have you ever have dry hair problem? After having 9 days holiday and spend most of the time in the swimming pool and beaches, I started to have hair problem. I could feel that my hair became very dry. I tried to wash my hair every time I finished …
Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment
I raided stores and the net to find a specific product, the former Medibac concealer by Dermalogica, until I found out it was discontinued. My fruitless search informed me that it was replaced by a new flanker: the Dermalogica concealing spot treatment. Dermalogica reformulated the older concealer, …
Calgon Body Mist Morning Glory
Who hasn’t seen those comercials from Calgon that suggest using their products will “take you away” from the real world for a while. I’m not much of a fan of bubble baths, but I’ve learned to have a love affair with most any other bath and body product. And …
Evian Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray
Everyone knows Evian brand as the French brand of natural mineral water, but not everybody knows that they actually have some skincare based on that water. Well, it’s not really the skincare, but more of an aid or a “supplement” to help your skin get through the summer, if that …
St. Ives Advanced Body Moisturizer (Swiss Vanilla)
St. Ives Advanced Body Moisturizer is not a bad body lotion. Just like many other St. Ives products it is quite popular. The last time I was trying to buy this product it was on sale and I had to go to several different stores to get it since …
Nivea Q10
I bought a bottle of this after seeing commercials for it on TV, I guess commercials really do work. And-the lotion really works too. I was surprised at how nice it made my skin feel. It really moisturized and added a nice level of elasticity to …
Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Astringent Toner 200 ml
My Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Astringent Toner, which I purchased from Shoppers Drugmart just run out. I noticed that it lasted for about two months, even though I was using it almost every day.
I remember when I decided on buying it at the drugmart’s skin care …
Colassal Mascara
I bought Colossal Mascara made by Maybelline and it’s great! Of course it is not like the how they show it on the commercials but it is the best mascara I have ever used. I like it because it doesn’t give you those nasty clumps of mascara on …
Sebulex Medicated Dandruff Shampoo
For the past few days I had been experiencing severe acne especially on my forehead region. Initially though I felt that this must one of those normal acne conditions, which generally disappeared after some treatment- this acne almost remained stubborn. In fact what I noticed that instead of actually …
Smashbox Master’s Class Glamour Eyes
I bought this kit because I had good results and like some of the products in the other Master’s Class makeup set by Smashbox so I thought that I would really like this one, especially since this one came with a lot more products. I really liked that the …
Maybelline Pulse Perfection Waterproof Vibrating Mascara
It was a close call on whether or not I would purchase Maybelline Pulse Perfection Waterproof Vibrating Mascara. I am a mom from a family who lives near the poverty line so purchasing makeup in the $12-13 range makes me feel guilty. It had been several months …
Liftactiv Retinol-A HA Total Anti-Wrinkle Daily Cream (Vichy)
Vichy has been a trusted name among women for a long time. I can certainly say it has been a favorite with me for some fifteen years now. (In fact, their products are the only ones I use apart from my own essential oil home-made concoctions.)
One of the many …
Sebamed Clear Face Antibacterial Cleansing Foam
I have given a review for Garnier Pure A series (anti acne series) here, but now i think i have to change my review. After months using that product, weeks ago i had to give it up.
Last february i had a trip to Romania, and trip there did change …
Africa’s Best Ultimate Herbal Oil with Ginseng

Olay Natural White Day Cream
I have been using another brand for almost 8 years, the effects? I am not really sure about it being effective as I had not seen my face become lighter because of it. It also did not decrease the oiliness of my face. Hence, when Olay released its new …
Avon’s Dew Kiss Lip Tint
One of the products from Avon that I was able to purchase at a discounted price was Avon’s Dew Kiss Lip Tint. Its regular price is PhP130 (Philippine Peso) or around US$3. I only bought it at PhP109. This lip tint comes in 4 shades; Dewy Rose, Sweet Pink, …
L’Oreal Bare Naturale Soft-Focus Mineral Finish Translucent Light
I have tried a lot of different foundations and powders over the years, for several reasons. One is that I really like to change out my make-up on a regular basis because my skin adapts very easily and quickly and usually the make-up just doesn’t work the same way …
The Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
I am not really a big fan of Body Shop products, although I have used a lot of their products on and off for several years now, because I have not seen amazing results with them. The best I could say about their products is that they smell good. …

Olay Total Effects Advance Moisturizer With Cooling Essence
This product surprised me with another added bonus on top of the extreme hydration offered for Olay brands. I was intrigued with the “cooling essence” this product is infused with. I saw the TV ad of this several months back but I did not mind it at all. Olay …
Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezer in Green Tea
Beyond memory, I couldn’t put my finger on how many tweezers had gone, since I started tweezing my brows. Tweezers are so easy to get, as well as they’re so easy to ruin. With all the things invented for hair removal, I tried using my epilator to …
Maybelline Lip Smooth color and care in Strawberry
This is an excellent lip product made by Maybelline New York and it is my favorite lipstick that comes in balm form. The packaging is more like of a lip balm but when you use it it gives your lips just the right touch of color. The …
Arm & Hammer Age Defying Toothpaste
This review is for the Arm & Hammer Age Defying Toothpaste.
I am always in search of tooth products that actually live up to the claims they have in their advertising. How do I get whiter stronger teeth without spending a fortune or using harsh bleaching kits. …
Dove Men Plus Care Bar Soap

Yves Rocher “YRIA” Smoothing Lip Base
I have been using Yves Rocher products for about 5 years now and have always been impressed by their quality. This YRIA Smoothing Lip Base is no exception. The YRIA branch of their cosmetics line is somewhat more expensive than their True Colors line; however, I feel …
EOS Organic Lip Balm in Summer Fruit
Influenced by the hype, I jumped into the EOS lip balm bandwagon. EOS breaks the mold and comes up with quirky lip balms in twist-off egg-shaped packaging. I bought one because the product was an eye candy. What’s the correlation between egg and lip balm? …
Juice Organics Brightening Moisturizer
After trying the Juice Organics Brightening Moisturizer, I have to say it will be the only moisturizer I use from now on. The moisturizer helps hydrate my skin without making it oily and it has really brightened up my complexion and even faded acne scars, which is so amazing …

MAC Shale eyeshadow
I originally acquired MAC Shale eyeshadow in a palette several years ago. However, I did not really try it because in the pan it just looked like a boring purple and I do not wear purple eyeshadow by itself very often. One day recently, however, I was …
Watson’s Green Tea Mud Pack
A few months ago I bought Watson’s Green Tea Mud Pack for 80 pesos at a retail store. It weighed 1.7 oz, and lasted for months. Here is my review.
This mud pack is made to help draw out excess oil and grime which might lead to blackheads and acne. …
Wen Ste of 3 Conditioners
I thought these would be really weird to use and that they wouldn’t get my hair clean as much as regular shampoos because these aren’t regular shampoos, they’re conditioning cleansers. They smell really great but not something that I’ve used before but I gave them a try.
I’m really …
No-Rinse Shampoo, Body Wash and Body Bath
Have you ever heard of anyone using the shampoo without having to rinse with water? I can’t believe it myself at first. But there is such a product in the market.

Got 2 B Hot Smooth Flat Iron Blow Dry Lotion

Almay Bright Eyes Duo Eye Base + Concealer
Because of the dark circles under my eyes and the puffiness, I have to use an extra concealer underneath my foundation just to keep it looking halfway decent, otherwise I just look tired and sick all the time, like I haven’t had a good night of sleep in years. …
Elianto Sweet Kisses Lip Gloss in Red Cherry

Dove Sensitive Skin Anti-perspirant Deodorant

Noxema Continuous Clean Microbead Cleanser
Noxema Continuous Clean Microbead Cleanser with Vitamin C really works for me! It has a citrusy scent that smells wonderful! Honestly, I think I would use it just for the fragrance, but the beads add a nice little bit of exfoliation when I wash with it. And when I …
Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours Nail Polish
I like the Miss Sporty range of nail polish as they are cheap and it has a good range of colours. The Clubbing Colours range are metallic and I have the ‘Metal Shine’ one which is a metallic grey/purple. I love metallics and this colour is great …
Rimmel Extreme Definition mascara
Initially I though that the comb mascara would probably be a good idea but it is not! This mascara is so extremely bad on many levels that I don’t even know where to start. The packaging is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. It is not a screw …
White Rain Apple Blossom Hair Conditioner
Conditioning has always been and will probably always be a major part of my hair washing experience. I can’t stand having dry hair and a dry scalp, but it seems to happen to me way too often. I purchased a different pair of shampoo and conditioner products from a …
OPI Mod About You Nail Polish
No matter how many pink colored nail polishes I own, the numbers never satisfy me! I have so many dupes of the same color it’s ridiculous, but I just love the color pink so much I can’t help it! I was browsing through my Sally’s beauty supply store which …

Liquid Eye Liner by Nichido
I was browsing the cosmetics section of a local department store when I decided to look at Nichido’s products. The products are relatively cheap so I decided to try their liquid eye liner out. I bought this one for only Php 68.00 (around $1.50).
The packaging comes in a small …

Lime Crime Lipstick in Centrifuchsia
Who’s heard of Lime Crime? I know I haven’t until I came across their website while trying to search up a recipe for lime pie. Haha, I know, but what a great mistake! Their lipsticks are amazingly pigmented, and the one I got, centrifuschsia, is probably the most pigmented …
