Skincare is of topmost priority. There are a wide variety of lotions sold out there and I’m probably the most feeble vain person to have used almost everything and yet always end up unsatisfied. Using skin moisturizers with whitening properties don’t usually suit me because of the …

Ok. So I have been an avid fan of whitening products. I have tried almost every whitening product in the market. I use them not to lighten my skin but to make my skin tone look even and to remove blemishes. One time when I was visiting a forum …

I have a sensitive skin, especially on the facial and back area. Up till now, for my back’s care, I’m using Johnson Baby Milk Bath. That’s the best product, the most suitable product for the most sensitive skin. However since Johnson’s Milk Bath product is imported from Malaysia …

I have naturally curly African American hair that I do not chemically relax. As a result, I usually am very skeptical of any product that promises to help straighten or smooth out my frizzy mane. I saw this product on sale at a local discount retail store …

I am not a huge fan of disposable razors, and usually buy blades to fit a refillable one. In a hurry one day, I picked up SuperMax Kwik3 disposable razors in a four pack for just $2 CDN at my local pharmacy.
The packaging for these razors was certainly eye …

Taking care of my hair has been always a priority for me. I do believe that women with long hair are more attractive and feminine than those with short hair. I always try to respect a hair care routine and once a week I apply a mask that nourishes and …

Smashbox Cosmetics is not an inexpensive makeup line. Products from this line are much more expensive than your typical drugstore line.
