NYX Round Lipstick (Circe)
I have been hearing a lot of raves about the NYX makeup line. It was a cheap cosmetics line, but I heard that their lipsticks were great. I indulged in buying their lipsticks online. What sucks is that I could not test it until they arrived, so I just …
Mark Keep it Going Longwear Eyeliner & Eyeshadow
I have not tried very many Mark products in the past, but my sister recently bought me the Mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Eyeshadow. She knows how obsessed I am with products with dual functions so she picked this up for me. Basically, as the name suggests, …
Drapolene Diaper Rash Cream
When my daughter was born, her skin was very sensitive. Anything short of the top diaper brand will result in a diaper rash, even if she has just used it for a few hours. But we did not want to waste the diffrent brand of diapers given by friends …
Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash
I was in Mejier when I found a mascara called Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash. It was a metallic green bottle and the sticker on the bottom described the color as 001 Blackest Black. I was skeptical that this mascara could actually lengthen my eyelashes. I had previously used Maybelline …
Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser
The Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser comes in a 6.8 oz bottle and costs about $30 depending on where you buy it. So for starters, this is a reasonably expensive cleanser in comparison to what you can pick up in a drugstore. The liquid at first glance is …
NYX Eyeshadow Trio in Tropical/Yellow/Lime Green
This was the first NYX product that I ever bought. Before an Ulta store was built near where I live, I didn’t know any place that sold NYX, and I didn’t want to order online. I saw this trio at Kroger and decided to get it even though the …
Seriously White Advanced Whitening Face Cream Powder
I have tried a number of branded or well-known brands in liquid foundations and Seriously White’s Advanced Whitening Face Cream Powder is a product with potentials.

Careline Lip Gloss
I love using lip gloss as part of my beauty basics. I use it more often than lipstick everyday when I go out. So it is no wonder that I am very picky when it comes to choosing a lip gloss brand that fits my personality, style, and beauty …
Back to Basics Raspberry Almond Reparative Conditioner
I recently purchased the Back to Basics Raspberry Almond Reparative Conditioner. As a disclaimer, I first need to explain that I am a huge conditioner girl. I know that a lot of people shy away from using a ton of conditioner because they are afraid that it will weigh …
Sainsbury’s Passion Body Spray
Considering this body spray only cost me a mere 76p, I only have good things to say about it. This is from Sainsbury’s own brand and it was definitely the cheapest choice body spray on their shelves, along with the Impulse and whatnot. As you would expect, …

Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon in LC3 Rose
I am simply averted to putting lip liners and only reach for it when necessary. Sealing a full coverage lip color takes a lot of finesse. Try as I might to avoid any mishap, I still get a messy mismatched result. I figured the tool is …
Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Vintage Gold
Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Vintage Gold is a really pretty neutral shade! Everyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of neutral looks. I am always on the lookout for a pretty shade of brown, beige, bronze, and champagne. When I saw Vintage Gold, …
Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion
This is a review for the EyeShadow Primer Potion made by Urban Decay. On the box you will see that it says it is their number one selling product. Let’s just say I can absolutely see why! My skin complexion is oily by nature, and thus …
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum for hair
When getting my hair cut at Supercuts, I bought Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Serum because it was on sale. That was months ago and the bottle sits in my cabinet barely used. It also boasted that it would add great shine to my hair, control frizz, and make blow drying …
L’Occitane En Provence Hand Cream
Frequent washing makes my skin dry. L’occitane En Provence Hand Cream is the best and most effective hand cream that I have ever used. This hand cream is amazingly creamy and rich at the same time. It does not even leave my skin sticky and greasy. The skin rapidly …
Petal Fresh Botanicals Fresh Aloe Vera Body Lotion

Revlon Gentle Cuticle Remover

Now I am able to give myself a quick and stylish look in just a short amount of time. I am so happy that I came across this product in my local drugstore. This is the best nail kit I have ever used. It was simple and easy to …
St.Ives Apricot Scrub
St. Ives Apricot Scrub says its for all skin types and is oil free but that is not the case for me. I do not recommend this product for anyone with oily skin like I have. To begin I do not like the scent, it says apricot …
Murad Firm and Tone Serum
I have this problem regarding this unwanted fat on my tummy. Yes, I tend to over eat often so I guess this is what I get for it. I tried work outs but I really did not last that long because I get bored plus I get really lazy …

Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Bodyguard
Even though I’m a huge Urban Decay fan, I’m not a big fan of this tinted moisturizer. There are a lot of problems with this specific color as well as the overall line. I definitely think there are better, similar products on the market, most of them at a …
Loreal Vive Shampoo
I just tried this shampoo today. My mother had it in her bathroom and I ran out of shampoo so I took some of hers. It’s pretty good. It made my hair feel really soft. When I was washing my hair it was really soft and it rinsed out …
Fresh High Noon Freshface Glow
This has just a hint of color in it. I apply self tanner on my body but I’m a little hesitant to apply to my face because I worry about streaking, looking orange, to dark etc so I just use a powder bronzer so I don’t look paler than …
Lancome Juicy Rouge Lipstick in Sweet Whisper
There have been successful hybrids of lip conditioners and lipsticks, as far as the ones I’ve tried in the past. But nothing stands more superior to Lancome’s juicy rouge. This succulent lipstick is lancome’s version of a 2 in 1 lip color, so to speak. I …
The Face Shop White Mud Nose Pack
My oily skin is cultivating a bountiful blackhead farm right over my nose. I admit I’m tolerant about small flaws of my face like whiteheads and blackheads, so long as they give my skin no harm by causing zits. Still, taking care of such minor skin problems …
Estee Lauder Pure Color Eye Shadow Palette (4)
I can’t put a finger on the last time I used an estee lauder eye shadow or probably nary, so I wondered if this palette would be worth the road-test. My makeup time has been full of estee lauder products since I purchased a gift set, not for …
Biore Ultra deep cleansing pore strips
Biore Ultra deep cleansing pore strips claim to remove “stubborn pore-clooging dirt” as well as blackheads. If this product actually achieved what it claims to do, it would be an affordable way for many people to free themselves from these ever popular, unwanted conditions. Unfortunately, the search …
Merida cleansing wipes
I have become a huge fan of using facial cleansing wipes to remove my make-up. I’ve tried a variety of brands, but Merida Cleansing Wipes makeup removal tissues, are among the best and cheapest I have tried.
To begin with Merida Cleansing Wipes come in a plastic package of 25. …
Feather Proof Moisturizing Lip Liner (Bark)

Clearasil Overnight Serum
I’ve tried Clearasil acne products in the past and most I didn’t get good results from and I never really saw any improvements in my skin while I was using them but I decided that I would give this Clearasil Overnight Serum a try since I was still looking …
Himalaya Herbal Cosmetic Powder
This is one of the most trusted brands in my family and hence we all use the same powder. It can be bough mostly at any medical shops rather than trying it out for supermarkets. 100gm Net weight powder cost just 40INR and it is most cheapest of all …
Elianto gel eyeliner in black
I have been a fan of using pencil and liquid eye liners, but when Elianto had a sale on these gel eyeliners, I never went back to pencil and can never achive the perfect cat eye without the gel liner. I got the one in black for 200 php …
NYC Mosiac Color Wheel Face Powder
I purchased this product in Pink Cheek Glow. It is cheap, you can get it at any drug store or Wal Mart around $5, and get it on sale sometimes.
I really like this. Now ladies this is a face powder, not a blusher. That said, it is too …
Dandruff Relief Shampoo by Jason Natural Cosmetics

Ella Bache: Creme Index 2
This is supposed to be a miracle cream that fends of shaving bumps as well as rounds up those blemishes and does away with them. However, I didn�t find it all that great. It does seem to help reduce shaving bumps and ingrown hairs, but it smells …
Dove Shea Butter Cream Oil Body Wash
A body wash has to be really special to make me grab my favorite mesh pouf, and shoot it inside the top tray of our shower caddy. Sure, there are a few inside the shower that my folks like to use for themselves —“ but nothing special enough …
Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Body Oil
When a friend of mine introduced me Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Body Oil I was a little bit skeptical about its properties. I was pleasantly surprised about what this body oil could do. I love the soothing effect on my skin after showering. This is well absorbed by …
Maybelline Shine Sensational Lip Gloss
The Maybelline Shine Sensational lip gloss (in the flavor Peach Sorbet) gets a rating of a 7 out of 10 for me. It is pretty average as far as drug store lip gloss goes. It wins in terms of price and flavor/shade variety, but does not quite live up …
Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base Natural
I am an advocate of mineral foundation. My first experience with mineral foundation was Physicians Formula, which costs about $10 to $15 at any drugstore. It was a favorable experience —“ I was able to find a shade that did a decent job of matching my skin …
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
An eyeliner has the ultimate power to underline your beauty. It is very essential for me. I always patronize American brands of makeup because it has high-grade quality and not so expensive compared to French brands. One time when I bought makeup online, I bought Bobbi Brown eyeliner. I …
TREsemme: Thermal Creations Heat Tamer spray
During the winter months, when I sweat less I turn to heat styling, particularly flat ironing. After doing my research and comparing prices, I ran across Tresemme’s thermal creation heat tamer spray. For about four dollars, I purchased this from Wal-mart when they were running a sale on their …
