Oriflame 2 in 1 Oriflame Protecting Hand & Nail Cream
The 2 in 1 Oriflame Protecting Hand & Nail Cream is always in my purse, especially in the cold season. I love that it has a light formula and after you apply it, almost immediately hydrates your skin without leaving it greasy.
On the ingredients list I’ve found glycerin and …
IMAN Cosmetics Under Cover Agent Oil Control Primer
One of my favorite shows to watch on television is What Not to Wear, which I think is on Discovery. Part of the reason I love this show is because the cosmetics expert teaches people the correct way to apply makeup to best accent your positive traits and best …
Nivea Hand Crème
I ran across Nivea Crème while at work one day. I worked in a grocery store and we were running a special on Nivea. I decided that I would try the cream to see if it was any better than other lotions or crèmes that I had tried before. …
Sebastian Shaper Plus Hairspray
Most of my experiences with hairsprays in the past were okay, but it has always been difficult for me to find a hairspray that I absolutely loved. They would either be to sticky, have harsh smells, or dry out my hair. Although I love the way that …

Helena Rubinstein Color Clone Perfect Complexion Creator No.23

I was actually pleased with the results and effects I was able to achieve with this eyeshadow, I was a bit hesitant at first to try it out and buy it, because I didn’t really know how well I could rock the purple color! But I figured I would …
Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Waterproof Mascara, Carbon Black
When a brand claims their product will not cause clumps, smudges or flakes, you would think at least two out of three would be true.
I tried this mascara on in the morning. I was completely free of any eye makeup, except this product. The color was very black, …
Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Shower Gel
This shower gel is definitely my all time favorite body wash from Bath and Body Works. It is seasonal and therefore only comes out around the Christmas/Winter time which I find to be very appropriate because the scent radiates with the Christmas spirit. To me, one of …
Curled-Up by Schwarzkopf Got2B Curling Mousse
This summer I have had my hair permed. So I had to buy several new hair treatments specially for curly hair. One of it was Curled-Up by Schwarzkopf Got2B Curling Mousse.
I’m not entirely satisfied with this mousse, so let me share my oversight of the product.
What’s good?Nice smell, not …
Me! Bath Bath Ice Cream Hawaiian Lei
I wouldn’t exactly call myself a girlie girl but I do like the occasional bubble bath and to pamper myself with some nice lotions or body washes. I don’t have an extensive on going collection of products because once I use it, if I like it I use it …
Lancaster Skin Products
I got some gift vouchers for my shopping spree purchases. They are Lancaster Revolcanic Moisturizer and Lancaster Infinite White Whitening Cream.

Rosal Lipbalm City pink
There are so many lip balms, lip stick and lip glosses in my purse, at least 10 but if I see in the shop one that looks good and I don’t have it I will buy it without thinking specially if it isn’t very expensive. About 2 weeks ago …
Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick
I’m not much of a lipstick consumer. Why? Maybe because my mother was never one to begin with. When she did apply lipstick, she suffered temporary color blindness when choosing the shade because it just didn’t look right. The lipstick colors that she chose made …
China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise
So over the past couple of months, I’ve been really attracted to vintage clothing and accessories, but mostly I’ve been purchasing a lot of vintage jewelry from thrift stores. And there’s this one color that I’ve been attracted to dearly, turquoise! I own a lot of turquoise rings, beads …
Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair repair Asia Straight Shampoo
I have wanted to write a review about Schwarzkopf Gliss Asia Straight Shampoo for quite a while now but I have been delaying writing it and now the bottle is almost empty. I guess the reason for the delay was the fact that although I usually like shampoos made by …
Lancome Juicy wear lipstick
My lipstick is forever coming of and removing itself and when reapplied it merges together forming a half dried oil paint sort of mixture. Lancome Juicy Wear Stay On Lipstick does not budge. It honestly doesn’t stop partying until you do. It comes in 2 parts a tube of …
Clinique Concealer
I have a small vitiligo patch just underneath my lips which makes me so conscious. I have tried hiding it by foundation, piling much more on the area where there is a vitiligo patch, but it does not work. After a while, the make-up comes off or sometimes, when …
Pangea Organics Facial Mask
One of the selling points of the Pangea Organics Facial Mask is supposed to be that it is organic. Quite frankly, I wasn’t too fussed. I was in the market for a mask and I decided to try this product after reading that the promise was that “No matter what …
Teddie Baby Milk Hair & Body Wash

Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme
I’m an avid fan of Burt’s Bees product lines, and the Coconut Foot Creme is no exception. This product is almost like an emollient, it goes on so thick. And I like that, because my feet can become super dry in the winter. I use the Coconut Foot Creme …
Premium Cotton Balls by Dollarama
I never thought I would ever get back to using cotton balls again, until I realized that paper towels just don’t cut it when I really want to clean my face before hopping to bed at night. I just don’t like using water to wash my face, since …
Aziza Rocks Double Trouble Lip Glosses
I don’t often wear pink, but when I do I want it to stand up and shout. Aziza Punky Wine Double Trouble Glosses looked promising when I found it for just $3.95. One end of the lip gloss has a bright, vivid pink in the fuschia spectrum of …

Nichido Juicy Lips Lipstick in Apple Cider
Most people actually think that the cheaper the cosmetic is, the poorer it functions. I find this very unfair because I have had my share of bad and good products, and not every bad product is a cheap one. Take this for an example. I have bought me a …
Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
I originally thought of getting a professional manicure, but I changed my mind and would rather save the cost for a nail treatment. I groom my nails frequently, though that doesn’t seem to enhance its condition any more than the drying effects of a nail polish remover. …
Pert Plus Happy Medium Shampoo
I have been using this shampoo for years, and I love it. It comes in a green bottle and has a specific formula for different hair textures and conditions. I like the Happy Medium one with a 2 in 1 shampoo plus conditioner. I have tried …
Barry M Glitter Nail Paint

Milani HD Advance Concealer
I like Milani for the price, but sometimes, their quality can tick me off a lot. I know I am not paying the highest price for these products, but at least I should get something of value. Sometimes, this isn’t the case, and I fall in love with their …
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Matte Bronzer
My mom loves Estee Lauder products, especially their skin care, so she goes to Macy’s a lot to check it out. On one visit, she bought their eye cream, and that day they were having the free gifts with purchase, so she recieved one. She doesn’t really have any …
Beauty Secret Top Coat
I am an avid nail polish fan and paint my nails once a week at the very least. Without nail polish on, I feel rather incomplete. When my nails chip, I feel devasted and feel the need to do my nails over again. So a good top coat …
Burt’s Bees Garden Tomato Toner
Being acne prone, I would often get acne. Late last year I got a lot of acne because of my lack of sleep. That went on for a month, and when I can’t endure it anymore, that was when I bought Burt’s Bees Garden Tomato Toner for $13 online. …
b.liv Cellnique- Shrink and Tighten serum

Maybelline Eyestudio GD1-Autumn Spirit (eyeshadow)
Against my better judgement I purchased a Maybelline NY Eyestudio eyeshadow quad in GD-1 Autumn Spirit
Colour payoff
The main reason that attracted me to this particular quad (despite my bad history with maybelline products) was the colours. They came in a lovely taupe combo that was very complimentary to asian …
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner Blackhead Extractor

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Nail Polish
I’m normally not a fan of girly things unless I’m going out or whatever but I decided to try this since I haven’t put on nail polish ever since grade 4/prom date. Why? it’s because I’m always out of nail polish remover so everytime I feel like putting it …
Clearasil Stayclear Daily Face Wash
I have been having bad acne lately so I decided to give Clearasil Stayclear Daily Face Wash a try and it seem to do the trick with getting rid of the acne. However, it was really drying to my skin after several uses, but I will say it was …
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 …
