Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Mascara

Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Facial Wash
I have been using Hada Labo Arbutin Lotion for about 6 months now and I must say, this has been a great product for me. It made my skin softer, smoother and non-oily, but hydrated. So I figured it was about time to purchase the long-anticipated Hada Labo Gokujyun …

Revlon Multi Care Base + Top Coat
I used to use the OPI top coat, but for some reason, it started getting really thick and goopy so I decided it was time for a new one. The OPI topcoat was decent but it didn’t really impress me enough to spend another $8.50 on it, so I …

Aquafina 2x whitening
