LiftFusion Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
“No needles! No waiting! No kidding!” Oh, to believe! Many women over 40 (perhaps most?) would love to see the texture and smoothness of their skin renewed, preferably without the cost and pain of a traditional surgical face lift, or the dreaded needles, discomfort and expense of Botox or …
Guardian Self Warming Hand Scrub
Lately I have been into home treatments for my hands. I usually don’t like to go for professional manicures especially because I do not think it is worth the high prices and then the results don’t last very long and it isn’t economical to go for manicures every …
Shama Dulhan Moghlai Mehandi - 100% Mehandi (Henna)
I love using Henna on my hair. I know it is a bit of work as it involves a few steps but the end results and long term benefits are totally worth it and it is the best I can do for my hair to be healthy, …
Yves Rocher Couleurs Nature Ultra Volume Mascara
I bought this one only because I heard a lot of good reviews about this product. Many people claim that it does not clump but I completely disagree with them. I find that it is only an other average and boring mascara. At least It wasn’t too expensive …
Seba Med Hand+Nagel Balsam (Hand and Nail Lotion)
I do not use hand lotion all the time but when I do, one of the products that I use is SebaMed. I like to use it primarily because it is packaged in a tube which makes it easy for me to store it in one of the drawers …
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara
I normally really love mascaras by Maybelline and this was one of those mascaras that I had really high hopes for. Especially when I saw the commericals on TV. I love high heels shoes and for the commercial and the ads to compare this mascara to high heels and …
Wet N Wild Nail Polish
Recently I purchased Wild Shine by Wet n Wild Nail polish, I was somewhat skeptical as I have seen this brand for sale in dollar stores, on more than one occassion.
The pretty sparkled shade is so cute and girly that I could not resist buying it. At Wal-Mart it …
Neutrogena Clinical total anti-aging system (day)
I have always been a fan of Neutrogena beauty products but found my face got to use to them. When my Cosmetician told me about a new Neutrogena Clinical, I was intrigued and had to find out more. She showed me Neutrogena Clinical anti-aging system and explained there were …
Nivea UV Protection Body Lotion
The best part about this lotion is the faint fragrance that it has. I love applying this lotion since apart from being a moisturizer it gives me a flowery and very subtle aroma that lingers for a long time. The first reason why I had picked up this lotion …
Emjoi AP-9L Epi Slim Cosmetic Hair Remover
I’ve done so much to get rid of my facial hair: bleach, pluck, shave, you name it. This is one of my favorite facial hair removers that I’ve found. Unlike bleaching, it’s not messy or smelly or time-consuming, and it actually gets rid of the hair. Unlike plucking, you …
SHILLS Blue Herbal Toner
I got this toner after I saw many good reviews on the net and this toner was also featured in many Taiwan beauty talk shows. It is rumored to be used by Korea, Taiwan and Japan’s celebrities. It comes highly recommended by my girlfriends too. I got them from …
Avon Anew Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum
I purchased this product from Avon after seeing an advertisement for it in one of my magazines. The claims that were made in the ad were pretty remarkable, and sold me on the product right away. The ad said that this serum would fill up wrinkles and …
Clean & Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer
This product has its strengths and weaknesses. It did make my skin look radiant and awake, and it does have a nice scent, but the moisture doesn’t last all day.
Morning: While the other Morning Glow products, like the cleanser, are designed to invogorate your senses and wake you up, …
Mark & Spencer Moisturising Hand and Nail Cream
For me, body lotion is used for all the parts in your body from shoulders down to your toes. So whenever I see lotions for hands or knees or elbows, I always find it ridiculous. I am skeptic about it and in my mind, manufacturers are simply
robbing us money …
Arbonne Awaken Sea Salt Scrub
I had tried so many scrub and this scrub I am about to review was recommended by a good friend. I noticed I had dry feet. It has callous. According to my friend scrubbing is also perfect for feet. I also noticed my elbow gets darker so I decided …
Schwarzkopf Hair Repair Conditioner
I have a long history of bad hair days. My hair is fine and now that I am 46 it is also going white. I find myself always having to dye my hair on a regular basis unless I want to look ten years older than I am. The …
Tarte Natural Lip Stain with LipSurgence Technology
I am always very wary of products that claim to improve certain things by 100%. I do not understand how they quantify things like that. The Tarte Natural Lip Stain that I picked up from Sephora claims to be clinically proven to increase the moisture of lips by 6000%. …
Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick
This is the latest long-wear lipcolor Revlon has on the market and after seeing many commercials and reading several good reviews I decided to try it out. It appealed to me because it is a “liquid” with the topcoat built in and I despise having to use so many …
Colonial Dames Vitamin E Cream
Colonial Dames Vitamin E Cream is a cosmetic product that I use frequently, about three times per week, and love. It’s a moisturizer cream that has a luxurious feeling, I think, because it is very thick. I use it mostly on my face and neck but during the colder …
The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Shower Gel
I had never seen or heard anything about this kind of Shower Gel until I had got a little pack of mini Shower Gels as a present. I got 4 different ones and although I’m not all that keen on the scent of Lemon, I was happy enough to …
Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener in Porcelain Peach
I had acquired an abundance of eye concealers throughout the years. But many scornful attempts on correcting my darkened eye lids only lead me to discontent. At a certain point, I’ve had luck with eye highlighters. But all those sparkly luminizing eye concealers can be a …
Mannatech Optimal Hydrating Balancer Solution
This product is a gift from my uncle as he is a Mannatech sales distributor and I’m quite satisfied with this toner/balancer. This is called an optimal hydrating balancer and it’s supposed to tone your skin and make your face look younger. The bottle comes in a 150-ml tube …
Ellefar Neo Color Cheek B: Rose from Daiso
I love to shop for itsy-bitsy products from Daiso. It is the S$2.00 Japanese retail shop located at many shopping malls here in Singapore. Although I have many times seen skin care and cosmetic products at these stores I never really bothered to try them simply because …
Maybelline Pedal to the Metal 30 Color Gleam Cream Eyeshadow
I bought this shade of eyeshadow from Maybelline and have bought several as they were really affordable and I would get to use them a lot and this shade is called Pedal to the Metal; although it’s best for medium and dark skin tones I still bought it because …
Pevonia Botanica Phyto-Aromatic After-Sun Mist
After getting the lowdown behind soothing balms in the past, I have found another post-beach product that takes care of sun-exposed skin with added cosmetic benefits. I can append this after-sun hydrator to my make up for perfecting touches because it brings a neutral glow to my face. …
Sephora Pink Grapefruit Sorbet Body Butter
I got a hold of this body butter as a free sample at Sephora, because I have a Beauty Insider card. That means that after I spend a certain amount of money and accumulate a certain amount of points, I am entitled to a free product sample.
Here are the …
La Mer Skincolor Cream Foundation
This foundation is like a 2 in 1 since it contains the miracle broth ingredients found in the La Mer cream as well as good coverage in terms of color. It provides a smooth almost airbrushed look, and the color provides medium coverage so it can cover rosacea and …
Revlon Color Stay Foundation
I’ve always had a slight problem with my complexion. Aside from the occassional breakout, I also have issues with blotching, discoloration and undereye circles that most make-up just wont cover up. I spent most of my high school years (many many moons ago) using this ridiculous pancake makeup that …

Lancome Color Focus Eye Shadow Quad

Estee Lauder ReNutriv Ultimate Lifting Serum
Since the onslaught of concern for wrinkles and other skin-related aging symptoms, cosmetic companies have launched an industry of anti-aging skin care systems. I always get nervous when I remember that as we grow old, our skin gets thinner and protection is needed as the person age. I always …

Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic
I absolutely love the packaging that this comes in! It’s super cute. It’s like a hardcover book and all the cosmetics are inside and it even has a few pages of helpful instructions to help you, so it does actually look like a book.
The cute packaging is what …
Ecrinal Nail Care Restructuring and Strengthening Cream with ANP
My nails have always been a mess, and I have not done a lot to remedy this situation, but it is becoming apparent that I should make some effort; my husband even comments on them. They are chipped, broken, uneven and generally ugly. I do not have the time …

Oil of Olay: Regenerist

Urban Decay Big Fatty Lip Plumper
Who wouldn’t want Angelina Jolie’s lips? Almost every girl’s desire is to look as good as her so we kind of spend some cash just to get the look. I hate to admit it but I wasted money because I wanted to get fuller lips just like hers.
I bought …
Aussie Mega Instant Miracle Dry Shampoo
First of all, I must say that I am a huge fan of Aussie haircare. I think they are a really fun brand, they smell great, and their range tends to work well together (I use the same line of shampoo and conditioner, for example). However, not all Aussie …
H2O Marine Daily Hydrator
I have tried COUNTLESS moisturizers and there have been times that I just have gotten so frustrated with them that I gave up all together. The moisturizers that I have used and liked, cost way too much and I didn’t feel they were THAT good to spend that much …

Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Masque
The Queen helene face masque is a lifesaver! I had mild acne that I used a million different face washes and spot treatments on. Some of them worked okay but did nothing for my skin tone or feel of my skin. Thats what sets this masque apart for me. …
Herbal Essences Body Envy Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner
