B & B Pump It Up Styling Spritz (Regular Formula)
I am a black woman who has worn my share of hair weaves and extensions. I would carefully style my hair into the perfect “do” only to find hours of sweat equity were wasted by a night of sleeping the wrong way or wind that blew just a …
Elysee Face Appeal Enzyme Peel
I’ve tried a lot of peeling exfoliants and always ended up with over dry blotchy skin, but not with this product. It’s gentle for sensitive skin like mine and it doesn’t cause any irritation. From all the products that I’ve used, this is one of the few that I …
Olay Total Effects Make-Up Remover for Face & Eyes
I have some good cleansers but I really wanted to try the Olay Total Effects make up remover as my other cleansers are not especially for ageing skin. Also, I have had some fantastic results with the Olay Total Effects Night Cream. Just as with the Night …
Schwarzkopf Extra Care Strong Hold Hair Spray
Over the years, I have tried out many different hair spray brands on the market in search of the perfect one for my hair. While I do really like the Aqua Net brand of hair spray, that brand is unfortunately not available to purchase here in Australia …
The Body Shop Aqua Eye mask
I’m so glad that I bought these! These Aqua Mask works wonders on my eyes. I have nasal allergies and that causes my eyes to itch, well really just one eye, both my eyes do very different things. My left eye itches tons and my right eye doesn’t itch …
Finesse Hair Mousse
I bought this product after I smelled it off the hair of a friend. I thought the scent was lovely, and I asked if it was because of some shampoo. She said that it was Finesse Hair Mousse. I had never used mousse before, and frankly, I had no …
Benefit High Beam
Benefit High Beam is a nice champagney-pink liquid highlight that comes in a container that is similar to nail polish, but not quite. It is slightly larger than a usual nail polish jar, but you still have to unscrew the cap and use a brush that is connected to …
Kiehl’s Leave On Hair Conditioner
I have been using leave on hair conditioners for quite a while now. I got into using this because I really hate my hair when it tends to become frizzy and hard to manage. That cannot be avoided because of my constant exposure to the outside environment. One thing …
Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray
Though I really love Frederic Fekkai hair products, I rarely purchase them because they are so expensive. I just do not have the money to shell out on the entire line of products, but occasionally I will purchase one or two things from the collection. I recently purchased the …
Dove Hair Conditioner
Have you ever have dry hair problem? After having 9 days holiday and spend most of the time in the swimming pool and beaches, I started to have hair problem. I could feel that my hair became very dry. I tried to wash my hair every time I finished …
Florrence Gunnerson Nars Orgasm Pinky Peach Blush
I received this as a birthday gift a few years back and since I thought that it was a pretty shade I decided to try it. I have to admit though that the word orgasm in the shade name did intrigue me a little as was a major driving …
Lypsyl Lypmedication with Eucalyptus Lip Balm
One of the lip balms I really enjoy using is Lypsyl Lypmedication with Eucalyptus Lip Balm. I like this lip balm because it natural soothing and nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, vitamins, essential oils, camphor, and herbal extracts. I love that it soothes my lips and heals my …
Sani herbal hair oil
Sani is a herbal hair oil which is very costly. I had heard that this herbal hair oil is very effective to stop hair fall and also to stop the whitening of the hair in early ages. I tried it because I had the problem of hair …
Sunsilk’s Summer Fresh Shampoo
Summer is just a great season simply because it’s the time of the year wherein you get to enjoy your time with friends and family members in the beach. However, the one thing I don’t link about summer is the fact that, since it’s such a hot season, my …
Great makeup for a small price
I puchased the “Creme to Powder Foundation” made by N.Y.C. recently and I like it a lot. It is such a small price to pay for a wonderful product. I used to buy expensive brands of makeup because I figured that if it’s that expensive, it must be good. …
Clarins White Plus Renewing Gentle Exfoliator
Beauty gurus claim that the secret to permanently glowing complexion is a skin that’s free of rough dead skin. I take this advice to heart and I make it a point that no matter how tight my schedule is, I always find time to do my body scrub once …
Nars Blush Super Orgasm
Nars Blush is a beautiful pressed powder blusher that is well worth the £18.50 price tag and this shade, the fantastically titled Super Orgasm, is extremely flattering on my fair skin and would probably work well on darker skins too. The sleek black packaging is stylish as is …
Kojisan Whitening Soap
I bought Kojisan Whitening soap by Koji a few months ago to get rid of my acne scars. It was available in local stores so I had o problem finding it. It has a white box, a simple design and an orange color. It was wrapped inside a plastic. …
Naturally Silk Elements Leave In Conditioner Cream
Naturally Silk Elements Leave in Conditioner Cream is a product I decided to give a try after catching it on sale at Sally’s beauty supply. At the time, I was in need of more leave in conditioner after running out of my previous bottle.
I had heard both good …
Kotex Maxi Pads
I have used Kotex Maxi Pads now for about a year. I was using the thiner ultra version, but came to realize that the Maxi’s hold in more moisture and keep you from becoming raw.
They also keep me dryer at night and prevent leaks better than the ultra …
Covergirl Lip Perfections Lipliner
One of my favorite rose colored lip liners to use is Covergirl Lip Perfections Lipliner. It does a great job bringing my lips up and giving them definition. It also helps give my lips a nice natural pop of color without having to use lipstick which is very nice. …
RoC Complete Lift Contouring Eye Roller
I don’t know why I get suckered into buying these kinds of products, but I guess maybe I’m just a little weak willed and I don’t know how to say no to sales people who know what they are doing and have no qualms about pointing out every little …
Superbalance powder makeup
I received this powder make up from a friend as a gift. I have never used a powder that is so light before. My skin looks amazing after applying this powder. This powder makes my whole face look clear and toned. I looked up the price and it cost …
Conair Infiniti You Curl Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron
The newest thing in the hair industry seems to be curling irons without clamps on them. I have been seeing them everywhere these days and already owned one from the Sultra line of products. Even though I was a fan of that curling iron, I wanted to try a …
Nivea Fruity Shine Lip Balm with SPF 10 in Cherry
The Product
Cherry shade is obviously, a red color with a hint of tiny shimmers.
The container is a white plastic tube with a red cover that has a slanted shape at the top.
This has a sweet cherry scent but I did not detect any sweet taste, however.
This has an emollient …

Eau Thermale Avene Lip Balm
Whenever I feel very lazy to bring along my handbag, I just carry a small purse with me, especially if I go riding with my boyfriend. I just chuck my purse in my pocket jeans, and have a good free ride.
In my purse, I do have some basic …
Maybelline Volum Express Lift Up
This mascara isn’t as expensive as other eyelash mascaras, so I decided to give it a try.
It has a special brush that doesn’t leave lumps in your eyelashes. I found that great, as I can’t stand seeing a simgle lump on them. Also, you don’t really need to apply …
Dior Rouge A Levres lipstick
My staple / classic lipstick which i have been using for the past 5 years.
COLOUR PAYOFF : 5/5
It was first bought for me by my cousin and it’s a very natural rosy shade of pink (not pasty pink, but healthy pink of roses) that goes well with anything …
Garnier Light Complete Multi-Action Whitening Cream
Garnier Light Complete Multi-Action Whitening Cream is really good for oily skin like mine. I have been using this product for almost two months now. This contains a pure lemon essence that exfoliates the skin. It also has derivative salicylic acid which is an anti-bacterial. It is said to …
Maybelline Line Works Liquid Eyeliner
When it comes to eyeliner, I have not been a fan of using it because it always came in the form of a pencil. I’m a scary person by nature when it comes to anything coming near my face, especially my eyes, and the thought of using a pencil …
Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair Anti Wrinkle Serum
It is said that life for a woman begins at 30, whoever said this had no idea what it is like to be a woman. Yes indeed a woman becomes more mature, on average, at the age of thirty but this is quite misleading as I found out to …
Caress Precious Bloom Body Wash
As a fan of Caress and their delicious smelling products, I was excited to see a new addition to the silkening line. They call it precious bloom, which hints to the buyer that it contains some sort of flowery scent.
Precious bloom is a creation of Coconut Orchid and …
Big Sexy Hair hairspray
Big Sexy Hair volumizing hairspray is something I’d consider to be a good investment. I did not plan on purchasing this hairspray, but it was only $9.99 at TJ Maxx and I needed to buy more hairspray anyway. Before I had been using Paul Mitchell and I …
VMV Hypoallergenices Hydra Balance Smart Moisturizer SPF 15
I love, love, and love this moisturizer from VMV because it works perfectly for my skin. This is one of the great products under the Combination Skin category that I have been using for years now even when I was still in Philippines. Now, that I am in the …
Wet n’ Wild Fast Dry Gray’s Anatomy Nail Polish
I was browsing through my beauty supply store the other day for some beauty products, because I felt that I was getting low on the amount of beauty products I had, so I had to replenish and get some new stuff! Especially since the weather has been warming up …
Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub
I have tried numerous products over the years to cure my over-dry skin and keep it smooth and glowing. Because my skin is so dry, I like to use oils and lotions whenever I can. My dry skin also looks and feels best when it’s exfoliated properly. …
Braun Series 3 370 Men’s Shaver
This was not one of my better electric shavers. The major problem that I had with this shaver was that it took me a long time to shave with it - longer than it had taken me with previous electric shavers made by companies like Norelco. The reason it …
Avon Frizz Control Lotus Shield
I can’t really say that this is a new product from Avon anymore. It has been out in the books for probably about 4 months and I got a little free sample of this when it came out. Although this has been promoted and featured a lot in the …
Advance Techniques body building conditioner
Advance Techniques body building conditioner is a great conditioner for a low price. It really gives your hair the volume and body that it needs to be to have your hair looking great. I think this is a great quality conditioner, especially for the price starting at four dollars. …
Gillette Daily Balance Shampoo
I once got too lazy to buy my own shampoo. I wash my hair everyday and so when I felt like I was about to finish a shampoo bottle I really did not realize it was going to happen too soon. So I had no choice. I had to …
The Body Shop Mascara in Divide and Multiply
I am a huge fan of all types of mascaras. At any given time, I am pretty sure that you can always find at least 4 tubes lying around. Usually, out of those four tubes, one will be a high end mascara, one will be a drugstore, one will …
Conair Hot Sticks Hairsetter
I am putting my review for Conair Hot Sticks Hairsetter under cosmetics because it deals with beauty and there did not seem to be a better category than this. This product is a hot roller system for curing hair, but it isn’t really rollers at all. There …
Bio-Oil
I have been seeing a lot of advertising on television for Bio-Oil, said to be Europe’s best product for making stretch marks and scars, and as I have numerous scars on my legs, (I am clumsy), I was hoping to see it Canada. Finally, last month, I saw it …
Smoky Lash Mascara by Make Up For Ever
There are not words to express my delight when a friend recommended Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara. I heard about this from a make up enthusiast on an online video channel and she raved about it so ardently that I bought it the very next day. …
Johnson’s Pure Harmony shower gel
I know that Johnson and Johnson is one of the most famous cosmetics brands, specially in the category of body oils and lotions. I must admit that I have seen a lot of commercials about different Johnson and Johnson products specially about their baby oil which is supposed to …
Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Sandwash Pink
This Bobbi Brown lipstick in Sandwash Pink was included in Bobbi’s lip and cheek palette for 2009. Bobbi has released a new lip palette every year (for the past few years, at least), so I always look forward to them and I have purchased each one since 2008. I …
MAC Fix+ Skin Refresher
The MAC Fix+ is a skin refreshing spray that retails for $18 at MAC freestanding stores and counters. It contains 100 ML or 3.4 oz. I’m not really sure this is worth $18 because that is really expensive for something that is pretty much just water in a spray …
John Frieda Collection Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier hairspray
I have always had a very high regard for John Frieda’s hair care collection, so when I saw that he had a little travel size bottle of hairspray in the miniatures section of Harris Teeter, I thought it would be a great time for me to try it out. …
Garnier Ultra Doux Conditioner
Long ,dry and rough hair is the last thing anybody would like to have. I live in a metro Politian town which is very humid and hot and there is plenty of pollution all around. Pollution is not just harmful internally but externally too it shows its effect. The …
