The container is a slim, tall, rectangular tube and a black cap where the doe-foot applicator is attached.
This has a mild sweet scent but I did not detect any taste, however.

Allue Lip Conditioner Vanilla by HBC Exclusives

Nivea Visage Q10
I haven’t always been a huge fan of Nivea skin care products. I find their face creams greasy and quite ineffective for the most part, so I was surprised at the results I got from using Nivea Visage Q10 Advanced Wrinkle Reducer Cleansing Lotion.
This product is a make-up remover, …

Anyway, I have …

Lancome Color Design Lipstick in Love It!
I like most of Lancome’s lipsticks, because the pigmentation in them is strong, and they are creamy. But I am not thrilled about this one called Love It!, which is one of the lipsticks in this year’s Lancome holiday make-up set ($49.50 with any Lancome purchase). You get your …
Q-Tips Cotton Swabs
This review starts off on a bad note. The company for Q-Tips does not offer very much information about their product, which is very big with me. All I could get was a number 1-800-745-9279 and of coaurse the website qtips.com.
The product itself is an alright product for …

Avon Bead Burst Waterbabe Shower Gel

Victoria’s Secret Ultra Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream
Like most of Victoria’s Secret lotions and creams, the Strawberries and Champagne has a nice lingering scent. It is one of the few scents in the collection that is sophisticated yet cheerful, fresh and light. The scent is that of strawberry sweet with bitter musky notes from the champagne; …

Pierre Ricaud Cosmetics www.ricaud.com
The problem with this site is: It’s all French to me. Literally.
Dr Pierre Ricaud is a French cosmetics company, so you’d expect the main site to be in native language. And I should improve my language skills rather than rely on using English. But ordering a “pain au chocolate …
