Nivea Kiss of Sunshine Lip Gloss
I am very particular about lip gloss because everything that I have gotten up to this point has been such a hit or miss, mostly miss unfortunately. I do not like there to be a whole lot of color in my lip gloss as I do not wear make-up …
Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel
Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel is one of the best multi - purpose herbal medicines that I have ever encountered. It is categorized as a cosmetic product, but I prefer calling it a herbal medicine because of multitude of medicinal properties this little wonder has.
Aloe Vera is known for its effectiveness …
Stila Eyeshadow in Mystic
I don’t usually wear blue eyeshadow because it is just too bold for me, and I don’t really think blue eyeshadow looks good on many people. However, Mystic was such a pretty blue that I had to try it out. It is kind of a greenish-blue, like a like …
MAC Nylon Eyeshadow
I got MAC Nylon eyeshadow as part of an eyeshadow palette a few years ago. In the pan, it looks like it is going to be a light yellow frosty shadow. When applied, however, the yellow color is not as strong as it appears in the pan. …
Clearogen Acne Lotion
I just want to share with you the happiness I got in the disguise. I was really disappointed by the creams that have been advertised on the television. But the fact is that there was nothing fruitful for the acne present on my face. It was really shameful for …
Shiseido Sun Protection Stick Foundation with SPF 35
The first thing that drawn me towards this foundation was the cool container in the form of a slender roll-on stick. I like the neon blue color and basically its sporty appeal. My aunt introduced me to this foundation in a family pool party and I thought …
L’oreal Hair Kerastase Vita Cement
My hair has become thin and not bouncy due to years of straightening and reconstructing my hair, and I wanted some vitamins for my hair so they could be bouncy and full of life again. I can’t live with having ugly hair and even if I didn’t have money …
St. Ives Vitamin E Advanced Body Moisturizer
I bought a big bottle of the St. Ives Vitamin E Advance Body Moisturizer because I was looking for a lotion that I can use all over to moisturize my body and at the same time won’t irritate it. I have very sensitive skin and my friend suggested that …
Sephora Super Shimmer Lip Gloss- Hot Coral
The only reason I rated this so low was because it’s a case of “buyer beware”. From the picture they showed on their website, this appeared to be more of a red color, or at least a dark burgundy. Since I have dark hair with pale skin, I like …
Maybelline SuperStay 24 2-Step Lipcolor Lipstick
I do not wear a whole lot of lipstick, but when I do, I prefer the type that will stay put throughout the day because I do want cracked or faded lips, nor do I have the time to constantly re-apply lipstick. I have seen the Maybelline SuperStay …
Amazing Cosmetics Velvet Mineral Powder Foundation
I recently purchased the Amazing Cosmetics Velvet Mineral Powder Foundation from Sephora. It is a powder foundation that comes in a little pot with one of those sifters that you shake the product out through. It contains 0.30 ounces of product and costs a little over thirty dollars. I …
Jamila Henna Powder
I bought this powder to do a process called a henna gloss which is a “watered down” version of a henna application. I chose the Jamila brand due to it’s popularity among hair fanatics abroad. This was my first time using true henna (other than the fake powders …
Lush Cosmetics Charity Pot
Lush Cosmetics can be found in most cities. You can smell their stores before you see them! Their products smell so good. I wouldn’t describe myself as a regular at Lush Cosmetics stores but whether browsing or hardcore shopping, the experience is usually very pleasant. …
Wet’n Wild Nail Polish
Wet’n Wild has a wide selection of inexpensive cosmetics for all ages. They offer many colors in their $0.99 nail polish. I recently brought number 435F which is a glitter pink nail color. It comes in a 0.47 fl oz glass bottle with a black cap. The nail polish …
Nivea Deep Pore Control Cleansing Facial Foam
Nivea Deep Pore Control Cleansing Facial Foam
For the past few years, my brother has been getting a lot of frequent pimple break-outs on his forehead and temple area. I don’t know what causes this, so we just blame his hormones. However, I noticed lately that his skin has been …
Lunasol Full Glamour Lips in Sheer Gold
This is one of the special items in my collection of extravagantly priced lipsticks. I use this every time I feel confident to put on a golden pout. My slight fetish for golden mouth began with YSL’s Golden Gloss, which instantly transformed all of my submissive lipsticks …
Totally Juicy Hot Apple Sugar Body Scrub
This is one of the best smelling body scrubs I have ever used. I will admit, I bought it because of the scent mostly. That and the fact that it was one of the least expensive scrubs I had ever seen. I saw it at the …
Victoria’s Secret Garden Strawberries and Champagne Hydrating Body Lotion
The Strawberries and Champagne Hydrating Body Lotion is my second best among my Victoria’s Secret Garden collection, next to Love Spell. What I get curious about this lotion is its name itself. For me it really sounds weird about the blending of Strawberries and Champagne, sweet and alcohol. Frankly, …
Sally Hansen Double Duty Base and Top Coat
One night out of boredom I decided to hit up Walgreens to see what sort of new products were out in the beauty and cosmetics area since I haven’t visited the store in a while. I wondered up and down the aisle looking at products, and came across Sally …
Ketoconazole Nizoral (Dandruff Shampoo)
The reason why dandruff keeps coming back on my head is not clear to me yet, but one thing is for sure, I can’t stand this irritating dandruff anymore. Ketoconazole Nizoral Dandruff Shampoo came into awareness because of a commercial; since I have nothing to lose other than dandruff …
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-free Toner
I’m going back to toners once again after some “self-debate”. I speculate my skin has gotten too sensitive for toning and that alcohol has much to do with it. The Kiehl’s ultra facial oil-free toner seems like a good toner to get started.
The main thrust is to …
Revlon Midnight Swirl Lip Gloss
Product: Revlon Midnight Swirl Lip Gloss
My color pick: Sassy Sangria
I’m not a huge Revlon fan. When it comes to cosmetics, I like CoverGirl for foundation; Clinique for lip gloss; Victoria’s Secret for eyeshadow; and Maybelline for mascara. But I was intrigued by the new Revlon Midnight Swirl glosses, so …
Revlon Lip Butter in Cherry Tart
Several of my friends have purchased Revlon’s new Lip Butter and they love it. They love it so much that they have been telling me that I need to buy them. I am not necessarily a big Revlon fan but there are products that I like; however I did …
The Estee Lauder Deluxe All-Over Face Compact
I have always been an avid user of make-up and have tried a lot of brands, both local and imported. My usual choice is Estee Lauder. For blush ons, I always use my Estee Lauder Deluxe All-Over Face Compact. It comes in a gold case with …
Bluebeard Original Beard Wash
I really do not maintain beard in my face but there was one time when I maintained a hairy look. I had beard in my face although not really to the point where I was “arab-looking”. And because I am really conscious about cleanliness, I made a conscious effort on …
Dove Shower Cream Oil
I don’t buy Dove since I noticed that the deo stick wasn’t really good for me and that it made the area under my arms swallow and there were some hard nodes there. They were gone about 7 days after I stopped using it.
The only one who still uses …
Maybelline Intense XXL Volume + Length Microfiber Mascara
I first got introduced to this product by one of my cousins. She, on one special occasion, applied this product to her eyelashes, and it made such a difference. Her eyes looked beautiful! In fact, they made her lashes look so long that almost they looked fake, but …
John Frieda Spun Gold Balm
John Frieda’s Sheer Blonde Spun Gold Shaping & Highlighting Balm is one of my trade secrets. I love this product! I am all about my hair, and happened upon Spun Gold by chance. What a find! Spun Gold comes in a flat, circular tin, and when you open it, …
Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer
I recently purchased the Hard Candy Glamoflauge concealer because it was advertised as a more heavy duty concealer. I have a lot of hyperpigmentation, acne scars, blemishes, and other imperfections on my face that I try to cover every day. A lot of the concealers I have tried in …
My MAC experience and Satin Taupe
I think I’m the only one in the world not entirely pleased with everything MAC. I’m intrigued(sp?) by the ‘collecta-bility’(make sense?) of it, so it’s fun to look at the website every now and then, but I’m always slightly disappointed when I go to the counter.
For one, the sales …
Murad Acne Spot Treatment
A few months ago I bought Murad Acne Spot Treatment for 500 pesos from an online retailer because I had severe acne. So when I bought it, I used it daily for 3 weeks daily.
This product weighed .5 g, and has more ingredients compared to the many others which …
Iron Man
Having recently watched both Iron Man and The Dark Knight again I began to think about the two movies. I am convinced that one of them is the best comic book movie ever made, the only question is which.
That is where it becomes hard. Both movies have nearly …
Godiva LicoWhite Lip Gloss
I’ve noticed that since I’ve been in the sun practically all day during the Summer time, I have gotten extremely dark, I’ve gone from a pale color in the Winter, to a tan shade in the Spring, and now I’m a dark color in the Summer. I have never …

Borghese Fango Active Mud for Face and Body
I used this mud mask about once a month or twice a month. This helps to shrink my pores and really helps keeping my skin looking refreshed and evens out my skin of any redness and dry skin which is a big deal for me because I have nasal …
Surgi Care Hair Removal System
Product Description: Surgi Care Face Cream is a hair removal system for sensitive skin that I can highly recommend.

Hi there, this is Anna and I have a good news for you. Have you ever heard of Kojic soap? I got one from my sister, Kojic Papaya Whitening Soap last November 2008. It is a big soap and color orange. The packaging is so cool which can’t …

AloXXi simply silver colour toning shampoo
My sister recently got me the AloXXi simply silver colour toning shampoo the other day for blone in my hair. I naturally have black hair so I always run the risk of the blonde turning in the Orange (check out the Japanese soccer team a while back) so she …
Revlon Multi Care Base + Top Coat
I used to use the OPI top coat, but for some reason, it started getting really thick and goopy so I decided it was time for a new one. The OPI topcoat was decent but it didn’t really impress me enough to spend another $8.50 on it, so I …
Head and Shoulders Shampoo and Conditioner
I have always had problems with dandruff since I was a little kid. I think it’s because I have very thick hair and I sometimes use hairspray or frizz control products. I like to wear my hair down but sometimes my hair will itch because of the dandruff and …
Aussie Leave in Hair Conditioner
My hair becomes of dry and brittle in the wintertime that I have to use a leave in hair conditioner in my hair every day just to help keep it moisturized. One of the leave in hair conditioners I like to use is the Aussie Leave in Hair Insurance …
Whisper regular non-wing pad
I use whisper regular pads non-wing, whenever I have my period and I’m just in the house and I’m not really going anywhere. I usually use this when comfort is really not an issue, since the pad is quite thick, and it’s mostly not that comfortable. Plus the cotton …
