Johnson’s Baby Soap
I and my family have been using Johnson’s baby soap for quite a long time. It’s a small bar soap that I can easily carry in my bag. This product is very effective and does clean very well. I have had no problems on my skin ever since I …
Mark Shine Tubes Hook Up Lip Gloss in Almond Sugar
One of my favorite lip glosses to use is Mark Shine Tubes Hook Up Lip Gloss in Sugared Almond. It is a nice light pink natural rosy color that makes my lips pop naturally without being overly dramatic. I love the way this lip gloss looks and feels on …
Mary Kay Full Coverage Foundation (#300 Beige)
My little cousin was very much into Mary Kay and extolled their virtues to me every chance she got. Now, I had used Mary Kay in high school and found their make up to be just okay, and so didn’t really pay much attention to her praising.
However, one day, she …
Burt’s Bees Lip Balm
I love Burt’s Bees lip balm, especially the peppermint flavor. If I never try another kind of lip balm again, I shall be satisfied, because Burt’s Bees is the best there is out there, in my opinion. Bland, old Chapstick brand just doesn’t compare. I love …
Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Lotion
Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Lotion is perfect for those who have really dry skin.
I had uncontrollable eczema for the longest time. My skin was always dry and felt so tight and chalky. On top of that, I had another problem; I was allergic to many ingredients in a …
Clinique Redness Solution Daily Relief Cream
Because of some product that I used before, I had some redness and irritation which developed in my face. That beauty product was not a good one apparently and practically useless because it caused redness and irritation on my face instead. I have used so many Clinique brands and …
Bath and Body Works Brown Sugar and Fig Body Lotion
Am I in love with this lotion? Very! I saw my friend using this lotion during one of our trips and she said it’s one of her favorite lotions ever. I said it smells good so I grabbed me my own bottle.
The first time that I ever applied it, I …
Supergoop SPF 30+ Everyday Spray For Face And Body
If only we can skip using sunblock, I would be very happy. The use of sunscreen protection in our face and body was never optional. Ever since scientist discovered that too much sun exposure can lead to several health risks, this kind of cosmetic was created. As for me, …
Clinique Liquid Facial Soap
The first thing that attracted me to Clinique’s new Liquid Facial Soap is the packaging. I must admit that I am a package junkie and the cute little pump on top in conjunction with the green and black color combination made the product simply irresistible to me. I first …
Cover Girl Advanced Radiance Age Defying Compact Make-up
Foundation is an essential part of my make-up routine. I like to have one that’s medium coverage and blends well with my skin, an dstays fresh looking all day. I have tried so many foundations over the years, and I’m always open to trying something new, especially if …
Wet N Wild Megaplump Mascara
I am not generally a big fan of Wet N Wild products. To me, they are just not as good of quality as the other drugstore brands that I commonly buy. Occasionally, though, I will try a Wet N Wild product to see what I think of it because …
L’Oreal Excellence Creme
I have been dying my hair for many years now and have tried many products, and in my opinion L’Oreal Excellence Creme collection is the best. The reason I dye it is because I desire to hair the golden blond locks I had as a child. Like many women, …
Arm & Hammer Ultramax Deodorant and Antiperspirant Invisible Solid
While I haven’t found this deodorant and antiperspirant to be completely effective, I do feel that it works better than many of the national brands and store brands. It’s hot, well, more like super hot come the summer months in Texas with the temperatures usually settling above one-hundred degrees …
Bourjois Paris Liner Feutre
I am no friend of the cat eye. They either don’t match my eyes, or look messy, or just amateurish, so I end up practicing a lot, but messing up on some minor detail and getting angry! Why is a cat eye so hard? Well, now I find it …
Rejoice Anti Frizz shampoo
I have been using Rejoice 20 years now, but not consistent. I used the first Rejoice because it promises a hot oil effect on my hair. Because I was young there, I am easy to believe. I bought one on the store and when I used it, it works. …
Sally Hansen hard as nails Xtreme wear nail color
I have bought many Sally Hansen nail products over the years but this time I bought something from their new nail color line called Xtreme wear. I kept seeing this Xtreme wear nail color at my local drug store, and I have to admit I thought the different nail …
Mac Cosmetics Tinted Lipglass in Russian Red
This is a very sexy and deep red shade of Mac Tinted Lipglass lipgloss and it’s called Russian Red. The shade is a very rich and dark red that’s almost black and blue in colour. It’s like the shadows of this hue are almost blue and the deep red …
Philosophy’s empowermint shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath
Let me start this review by saying that I am a HUGE, and I mean enormous philosophy fan. And I don’t just mean philosophy as of the Socrates and Aristotle fame (although I did dig them when I was in college and believed that I knew all that was ever …
Clearskin Immediate Response Cleanser
As a child, I always had issues with skin care problems. When puberty hit, I was overcome by acne which was sometimes so severe that it would have me hiding in my bedroom for days at a time. I hated the idea of going to school and having to …
Covergirl Eye Enhancers
I like to try out both drugstore and high end makeup, because I like testing out different things. I have a few eyeshadows from Covergirl: champagne, pink chiffon, a quad with neutral brown colors, and a light silvery color (the label came off, so I do not know the …
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 …
Qtica Intense Relief Lip Repair Balm
I only know Chapstick balm to treat my lips to keep it moisturized. I have lots of lip balms also at home but when I get tired I just leave it on my purse until it expires. If only I continue using those lip balms, I know that my …
MAC Fluidline Gel Eyeliner in Blacktrack
I went on a long vacation to China with my family. Usually when I am out and about and I know I will be out for a long time, I usually use long wearing makeup. The most important aspect in my makeup is the eye makeup. I have to …
Estee Lauder Spotlight Skin Tone Perfector Moisturizer
We cannot avoid that sometimes we are exposed to the sun. Lately, I have been getting a lot of exposure outside from the sun’s harmful rays on my skin. It was after a few months that I started noticing the appearance of an uneven skin tone especially on my …
Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Healthy Natural Powder Foundation
Buying makeup has always been a difficult task for me. It’s twice the difficulty when it comes to powders, because not only do I have ultra-sensitive and acne-prone skin, I also have a skin tone that doesn’t go very well with the more frequently available face powders in the …
Aspirin and honey face mask
I first found out about this easy homemade face mask from a popular makeup tutor on youtube. At first i was a bit weary of the fact you would be using aspirin on your face because after all it’s meant for aches and pains right? Well… after watching michellephan’s …
Estee Lauder Resilence Lift Extreme (Ultra Firming Mask)
Estee Lauder - Resilence Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Mask. This is one fantastic mask. It actually delivers what it promises ie your entire gives out an instant glow, lines are reduced (almost invisible to those with faint wrinkle)and because the ingredients in the mask plumps up your face, it …
Bath & Body Works Pleasures Sun-Ripened Rasberry Shower Gel
I love Bath & Body Works products. I will admit that my house is overfilled with everything from their body lotions to their perfumes. As much as I love their products, I tend to be very reluctant about using a different scent other than the ones that …
CoverGirl Outlast Double Lip Shine in Sheerly Nude
I purchased CoverGirl Outlast Double Lip Shine because I was looking for a lip gloss that actually stays on for a period of time. I love the sheer look of lip gloss, but it wears off almost as soon as you apply it to your lips. I …

Freeman Clearing Sweet tea + lemon peel-off clay mask
I’m a big fan of Freeman masks and I’ve practically tried all of the face masks they offer. The last time I went to Ulta, I saw that there were a few interesting masks that I hadn’t tried yet and this Clearing sweet tea + lemon mask was one of …
Wet’n'Wild Photo Filter Foundation
Lately, I’ve been trying different cheap and cruelty-free products, because it’s easy to find a bomb cruelty-free product that costs $80, but it’s much harder to find one that costs $5 and does a good job too. Wet’n’Wild is famous for making affordable, but nice quality products and I was …
Nair Dark Coarse Hair Remover
I had used the original Nair products on and off for years, so when I saw this product by Nair that was specifically designed to remove dark coarse hair, I had to give it a try. The regular Nair worked fairly well for me in the past, and …
Caroline Refining Cream
I bought this cream because of its natural ingredients. It has Jojoba oil, Royal jelly, Honeysuckle extract and Chinese Goldthread. I love it when I apply natural active ingredients on my skin. It makes me feel there are less chemical in them and somehow more natural goodness. I got this …
Nivea Chapstick
Every winter my lips get very chapped. Even if I am constantly putting on chapstick I can not seem to get them feeling completely healed. I just started using Nivea chapstick and it is really getting the trick done. There are many different types of Nivea …
Asience Deep Nourishing Hair Mask
This hair mask is one of the earlier ones in the Asience series - the deep nourishing/hydration series. (The gold packaging)
I use this product with the shampoo and hair conditioner also in the same series and i must honestly say that this really does wonders for my hair texture! …
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the only facial wash that suits my sensitive skin best. I’ve tried a lot of daily facial cleansers both local and imported ones but nothing comes close to Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Other daily facial cleansers just gave me breakouts, white spots, dryness, and …
GEO Contact Lenses in Angel Green
I pre-ordered these contact lenses together with a dorm mate of mine. We were looking through the Facebook website and came upon the sellers by chance. My friend was the first one to say that we should order, and I agreed because they looked “natural” and not …
Avon Clearskin Acne Treatment
My skin was very oily since childhood. I was literally struggling with Acne and its ill effects on my skin. My friends used to give me various suggestions but no success. I used to wash my face after every 5 hours to keep it glowing. I used to ask …
Lakme High definition Eyeliner
I’m fond of make-up and prefer to be properly dressed-up when I go out. Eye-liner plays a vital role in my make-up kit. But getting a proper eyeliner to suit my skin remained a problem. Most of the eyeliners which I used gave me some problems. Some were nice …
Pantene Medium Thick Hairspray
I am obsessed with my hair, to put it mildly. If I’m having a bad hair day, everything else around me collapses. I know that sounds a little exaggerated but you “hair crazies” out there understand exactly what I’m talking about. My hair absolutely has to be good. And …
MAC Technakohl Eye Liner in Graph Black
I think I may have submitted numerous reviews for certain eyeliners. Today I will be reviewing one of my favorites. It is the MAC Technakohl Eyeliner in Graph Black shade.

Women’s Mossimo Gemma Flip Flops in Silver
Every spring, I have to buy a new pair of sparkly flip flops from Target; I just can’t find cute and comfortable sandals anywhere else. Last year, I went with black glitter, and I wore them all summer; they still aren’t entirely worn out, though they are looking just …
Perricone MD Concentrated Restorative Treatment

YSL Top Secret Flash Radiance Booster
Trying out YSL’s touch éclat eye concealer convinced me to stick to the brand, this time giving a chance to YSL top secret which I’ve been hearing lately from my friends. The same can be said about this radiance boosting face moisturizer still coming from YSL’s skincare product …
OPI Nail Lacquer in Gargantuan Green Grape
Never would I thought that I would wear a color like OPI’s Nail Lacquer in Gargantuan Green Grape because I normally wear black, light pinks, french tip and sometimes red. I also might try on another color for a day or 2 but nothing really to make it become …
Olay Daily Facials Express Wet Cleansing Cloths
I have sensitive dryish skin already, and washing my face with our local water often gives my skin a scaly appearance, which is really noticeable when I go to apply my foundation.
I had tried these daily facial cloths years ago when travelling, and recently decided to start using …
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Facial Peel
I recently purchased the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Facial Peel. My main motivation for purchasing the Alpha Beta Daily Facial Peel was the fact that it claims to reduce the size of pores. I have huge pores, particularly around my nose. Though they may not be …
Blistex Lip Infusion: Cherry Splash
The Blistex Lip Infusion is a blend between a chapstick and a lipgloss. It is a roll-on package, and contains 4 mL of oil. It is a generous package, because my last tube lasted me about 2 years.
The flavors come in normal, and Cherry Splash. I prefer the Cherry …
