Nubar Nail Lacquer in Lemon Sorbet
I remember how I was won over by Nubar’s glitzy sparkles collection. I’m not really feeling for garish sparkles at the moment so I went for a pastel shade the second time around. My next Nubar experience is this Lemon Sorbet shade taken from their pastel collection. …
St. Ives Apricot Scrub Gentle
I have seen St. Ives skincare products for many years while I have shopped, and I have never tried any of the products in this line. That is until my friend claimed that her face was literally transformed by the apricot scrub, almost as if she had had an …
Finger Paints “Putty in My Hands” Nail Polish
Although I’m a bargain shopper, I’ve learned to never buy cheap nail polish because it lacks the consistency of the pricier brands. That said, I went to Sally’s Beauty Supply looking for OPI nail polish, but my interest was peaked by this Finger Nails brand that the store had …
Eco Dent Daily Care Cinnamon Toothpowder
I was having allergic reactions to toothpastes a year ago and could not figure out what ingredient in them was causing the reactions. I ended up switching to a toothpowder called Eco Dent Daily Care Cinnamon Toothpowder instead. Sure enough the allergic reactions stop and I was able to …
Color Rush Trio Eyeshadow by Rimmel
Color Rush Trio Eyeshadow is a superior eyeshadow by Rimmel. This powdery eyeshadow had very intense rich color that lasts all day long. Every night, I remove my mascara and eyeshadow with either makeup remover or Vaseline. Even though I try to remove all traces of …
Rachel Perry Tangerine Dream Cleanser
I recently started taking vitamin supplements that are known to cause skin breakouts for my hair and nails. I rarely suffer from acne or blackheads, and I was initially very worried about how I would combat this. So far, I have only noticed a few bumps which …
Kelo-Cote Advanced Formula Scar Gel
About four years ago I had my gallbladder removed after a two year process even trying to find out what was wrong with me to begin with. The surgery was a simple forty-five minute outpatient procedure and it was endoscopic (I think I’m spelling that correctly), in which they …
Body Coffee Energizing Body Bar
A really nice energizing body bar I like to use is the Body Coffee Energizing Body Bar. It smells just like freshly ground coffee beans and has a dark brown color just like coffee beans have. It is made with natural nourishing and rejuvenating ingredients and helps wake the …
Shiseido Day Moisture Protection Enriched SPF 15
A day moisturizer is important to keep your skin hydrated all throughout. I like this day moisturizer from Shiseido because it also keeps your skin shielded from environmental hazards. I first thought this would not deliver total protection. It seems most of the moisturizers that I used gave me …
Vichy Laboratories: Aqualia Thermal Face Cream
I had been using the Vichy skin care product line before I had discovered essential oils. I have had a lot of good experiences with their products, since I have used their face washes, their sunscreens, and some of their other face moisturisers. This particular one, Aqualia Thermal, was …
Covergirl Volume Exact Mascara
I bought this mascara because I have been cursed with stick-thin lashes, and I am always looking for the right mascara to try and add volume to them. So I picked up this very stylish looking mahogany, dark plummy tube, and decided to give it a go, because it …
Philosophy Kiss Me Lip Balm
Philosophy Kiss Me Lip Balm comes packaged in two ways: a jar and a tube. The one I am reviewing here is the jar variety. The jar is small, only .5 oz. Philosophy products are on the expensive side, and this one is no exception: you’ll have to shell …
Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3
I am always looking to find my perfect HG exfoliant, so I was eager to try the clarifying lotion by clinique. I’m sure many people think this is actually a toner, but it is actually an exfoliating lotion. It claims to de-flake the skin and encourage cell turnover. I …
Victoria’s Secret Refreshing Body Mist in Amber Romance
I could probably be the last person to try this refreshing body mist by Victoria’s Secret. I know a lot of friends who patronize VS products with a passion, and it is unavoidable that I get to try one or two every once in a while. The …
San San Eyeliner Pen in Regular Black
I love using liquid eyeliners in my eyes. It makes my eyes a little smaller and makes it look cute. I used to always buy little liquid eyeliner bottles with built-in thin brushes under the cap. It is so tricky to apply especially if you’re not used to it. …
Gatsby Mandom, Anti-Tightness Facial Wash
I have been using the MD Formulations Cleanser with Glycolic Acid and I do really like it. But I like to take a break from it sometimes just so I can enjoy a nice foamy cleanser once a while. The MD Formulations Cleanser requires be applying on dry …
iWhite Korea Nose Pack
iWhite Korea is a system of Korean skincare products which is locally being distributed in the Philippines. Its products range from facial wash, moisturizer, peel off mask, peel off nose pack and make-up base creams (to name a few).
This range of Korean skincare products is a discovery for me …
Philosophy Melting Marshmallow Holiday Gift Set
It is so tempting to go on the Philosophy website, because I see all of these deliciously scented shower gels and lotions. Many of them are holiday scents, so they will not be around forever. I need to grab them while I can! Let me tell you about this …
Blistex Lip Medex
I have come across Blistex’s Lip Medex lip protectant and have found this one to be the best so far. The product actually works as advertised. In addition to protecting my lips from the cold weather, it gives off a cooling relief while it soothes chapped lips and restores …
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon
I really like the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils because they’re very soft eyeliners with a great pigmentation. They last a pretty long time as far as pencil eyeliner is concerned. I already owned the black eyeliner from Urban Decay which is Zero, and sometimes black eyeliner is …
Bobby Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner
I had a rather unpleasant experience with my old brand of eyeliner. It was a liquid type of eyeliner but I really had a difficult time handling it. It got my eyes irritated more than once too. It was just one of the bad things I experienced with my …
Garnier Gentle Clarifying Foam
I tried the Garnier Gentle Clarifying Foam because I needed something cheap and available at the store. I’ve been using Loreal products like its Hydrafresh series and I am convinced that although the cheap Garnier price tag will be alright since it is a subsidiary of Loreal who also …
Chanel Kaska Beige Eyeshadow Quad
Chanel and I do not like each other very much. With its eyeshadows, it’s either too creamy, too frosty, not pigmented enough, or just not for me! I cannot find a Chanel eyeshadow in my bag or on my desk, mostly because all the ones that I own have …
Panrosa Makeup Removal Cleansing Foam
Panrosa Makeup Removal Cleansing Foam is something that I recently discovered during a trip to the Dollar Depot. This five ounce tube is one dollar to purchase so I figured why not and placed it in the cart to take home and give a shot. After all I’ve …
L’Occitane Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate
This almond-apple cream from L’Occitane is its range for the first signs of ageing suited for ladies above 25 years. I think it was time for me to start my skin with anti-aging products before it is too late. I believe in prevention then cure. This cream comes in …
Top Care Aloe Vera Moisturizing Gel
The Top Care Aloe Vera Moisturing Gel is one of my favorite Health and Beauty Moisturizers. I have been using it for as long as I can remember. In fact my mother always used it while I was growing up and so did my Grandma. The Top Care Aloe …
Tigi Bed Head Urban Anti-Dotes Resurection Shampoo
I find myself worried so much about my hair that most of the time I am willing to spend a little more for a product that seems beneficial to my hair. When I first spotted Tigi Bed Head Urban Anti-Dotes Shampoo at a Salon, I was like, this is …
B.liv by Cellnique Off With Those Heads sebum gel
You won’t need a magnifying lens to zoom in to my blackheads. And worse, blackheads are competing with my large pores for visibility. Black or white, these comedones just keep coming back. I’m too squeamish to extract them manually. B.liv by Cellnique came up with a …
Bath and Body Works Carried Away Shimmer Gel and Body Lotion
As a present for my Birthday my daughter purchased me Bath and Body Works Carried Away Shimmer Gel and Body Lotion. It is very nice and smells very good. I love trying new lotions and creams and I was thrilled to receive this and try it out.

The Body Shop Lip/Stay on Colour
When I first purchased this product I was in love with it. It was reasonably priced and although they did not have a lot of colours to choose from, the ones available were quite pretty. It did not dry my lips out and was easy to remove …
Lancome Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss in Pink Horizon
I got this Lancome lip gloss in a holiday set that was released a few years ago. It seems like Lancome is making an annual thing of it, because I have already seen a similar holiday set for this year. It is being sold at Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and …
Belo Essentials Pink Whitening Lotion
Recently, I felt fed up of the lotion that I have been using for a long time. Though I already found it tried and tested in terms of its effectiveness, I wanted to try something new.
I went to the supermarket and browsed among dozens of lotions available. My eye …
Pantene color care conditioner
The Pantene color care conditioner is another product by Pantene. Many of my friends said that the Pantene color care conditioner is good and it really helps a lot to protect the hair color for a long time. I wanted to test this product as I love …
Avene: Moisturizing Self Tanning Lotion
This product is very misleading when it comes to a tanning lotion.
Being a paler Caucasian I felt the need to try something to become tanned. I didn’t want to burn my skin going to a tanning salon, or spray tan. My skin is very sensitive so when …
Nair Men’s Hair Removal Cream
I bought Nair Men’s Hair Removal Cream because I dislike body hair and shaving leaves too many marks. Following the directions on the bottle, I applied the cream on my legs in a thick, even layer, waited for three minutes, and rubbed some of it off in order to …

Product: Maybelline expertwear Eye Shadow Trio

MAC Bronzing Powder in Golden Shade
I have been a fan of blushes and other stuff than adds color to my pale white skin. I have heard of bronzers before but I never really got interested because I’m not sure if I know how to use or apply it. My friend suggested me MAC Bronzing …
Balea Body Lotion Coconut
Although I go often to Dm shops I never buy their own products. All these big shops have their own brand which usually isn’t good at all. I’ve tried some products from Lidl, Kaufland, LD and In’s markets and I was never very satisfied with them. I mean, some …
Revlon Cream Blush Berry Flirtatious
This is the perfect blush. I was always a fan of powder blush until I tried this product out. I can’t believe how much more natural it looks and how well it blends into my skin. This cream blush is now a must have for my makeup collection. It …
Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Beige
I am used to putting on a liquid foundation with a sponge, but when I was asked to try Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Beige I have to admit I was a little intrigued. I had never really used a stick foundation before and it was an interesting experience. …
The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Balm
I am prone to cracked lips especially since I work in an airconditioned environment. I have tried a lot of lip balms but most of them made my lips feel oily and heavy. Then when I go out where it’s warm, my lips feel really war and sticky as …
Avon-Skin So Soft Fresh and Smooth Facial Hair Removal Cream
For years, I have used so many products from the drugstore, just to get rid of my unwanted facial hair. I don’t have much facial hair, but like any girl, I like to be completely free of hair on my face.
I had used the brand Skin So Soft by …
Velcro Original Classic Styler Super Size Hair Rollers
I purchased the Velcro super size hair rollers from Amazon for $18. The rollers come in a set of 12 and include six 3 inch rollers and six 2.5 inch rollers. I purchased these with the intention of being able to easily obtain a hair style with much more …
Nutra Nail Maximum 10 Strengthener
I love this product, but I imagine I use it in a different way than most people do. This product is meant to be used merely as a nail strengthener, but I use it as a topcoat. I use many different brands of nail polish, but I …
Maybelline XXL Extensions Mascara
This is another one of those mascaras that is a 2 step, has mascara on one side and then white primer on the other side. I was really interested in trying this mascara because I really liked most Maybelline mascaras and I really loved the commercials and the magazine …

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel
I would love to recommend this Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel to all my friends and relatives. It is definitely the best product, I have ever come across. I can easily say that because I have tried most of the acne gels in the market, which are highly …
