C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve
For months now I have wonders about C.O. Bigelow’s famous rose salve but I hadn’t tried it yet. My initial thoughts were, “how in the world could this small disc of light pink salve change my life so drastically?”
Well let me tell you, this little salve is simply amazing. …
Chapstick True Shimmer Lip Balm, Botanical Berry Flavor
Usually I’m pretty impressed with any lip balm Chapstick has to offer. When I saw that there was a shimmer lip balm from them, I was thinking it would be something really special.
In the tube this stuff looked shimmery enough and had a nice pink color. The smell kind …
Spa101 Foot Spa and Waxing Salon
After a hard day’s work, I always love to shift into rest and relaxation mode. I love massages and going to the spa to bask in the Zen surroundings. Of course, there would be days when going to the spa is far from reality so I just go to …
Philosophy The Cookie Exchange
I love Philosophy products and I really love this bath set. First of all, the smell is simply amazing, I love the smell of cookies and once I smelled this scent I fell in love with it. Besides being by Philosophy, the smell is why I really bought this …
Nair Hair Removal Cream
I have super sensitive skin so I am always cutting myself shaving or getting horrendous razor burn, no matter what kind of special razor or aloe-containing shaving gel I use. So I figured I would give Nair a shot.
First of all, this stuff smells HORRIBLE. At first it smelled …
Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock
The arrival of summer always worries me, being extremely fair-skinned and all. I have ‘raccoon’ freckles, the ones where they are only located at the tops of your cheeks and the bridge of your nose. I want to keep any further freckles from sprouting up.
I purchased this sunblock because …
Eskinol Dermaclear-C Overnight Pimple Gel
I have very oily skin and I get pimples a lot, so I am in constant search for quick fixes to my skin problem. I’ve tried almost every pimple-vanishing product there is on the shelves. Some of them worked, some did not. Majority of those that work were actually …
Nars Orgasm Illuminator
I am a big fan of Nars product especially the Orgasm product line. I absolutely adore Nars Orgasm Illuminator as it is a great product that really works on me. I love to use illuminator to bring out the natural glow on my face.
The orgasm illuminator comes in …
Hand Salve by Burt’s Bees
I’ve never tried any of the Burt’s Bees body products before but as it was recently my birthday my friend very kindly bought me a gift set from the company which included amongst a few different items a Hand Salve. I often suffer from overly dry hands and …
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Your Skin Makeup Foundation
Very natural looking and not too heavy or overdone!
This has become one of my favorite liquid foundations. I was surprised by the quality, because generally I go for the higher end foundations, such as DiorSkin and MAC, but this one is my preferred compared to even those!
I’m an NW15 …
C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve
I definitely wouldn’t recommend buying this product- C.O. Bigelow’s Rose Salve, or any salve in general. You can use this as a lotion-similar to Vaseline or petroleum jelly only made with rose extract- on your elbows, knees, cuticles, lips, face, and more. However, it is so greasy that it …
Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheets
I often complain that makeup and travelling don’t go hand in hand. If I insist otherwise, then might as well bring a pack of makeup remover wipes. The Biore cleansing oil cotton facial sheets, at least, eases the chore of removing makeup along the trip. I …
Alberto VO5 Tea Therapy Smoothing Green Tea Shampoo
I have a very particular hair type. My hair is very thick and frizzy but more wavy than curly, something that drives me insane, so I tent to look for products that specifically cover things like frizz and have smooth qualities in them. It’s really hard to find good …
Tresemme Thermal Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner
Tresemme Thermal Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner are the newest shampoo/conditioner I have tried. I have been searching for a shampoo that will help my damaged hair for several years. Often, I used Pantene but my hair began adapting to it or something because it ceased working as …
Block & White Whitening Face Powder in Natural
The Product
Natural shade is a yellowish shade with peach undertone which is ideal for fair Asian complexion.
The container is a white compact with a built-in mirror and powder puff inside. This is also placed inside a square white box where you could see the logo of Block & White. …
Vitress Hair Solutions Hair Polish, long-lasting fragrance
Vitress Hair Solutions belongs to Splash Corporation. Vitress has a wide variety of hair products, including Vitress Hair Polish and Hair Cuticle Coats. I love some of their hair products, including Vitress Hair Polish Long-Lasting Fragrance.
As far as I know, Vitress Hair Polish has 3 varieties, which are the …
Cocoa butter formula 250 ml (massage lotion for stretch marks)
After my pregnancy I have a huge problem about the visible stretch marks on my lower abdomen and most specifically on both sides of my legs so I honestly considered using different kinds of lotion to help reduce the appearance of my stretch mark. I have tried two …
L’Oreal Fare Natural Flawless Starter Kit
L’Oreal Bare Natural mineral powder foundation is what I normally use for my mineral powder foundation now and I really love it. I also really loved when I found this set, for the price that I pay for one container of my mineral powder foundation, I can also get …
Oriflame Power Shine Lipstick
I don’t wear lipstick often, but when I do, I want it to give me an impressive look, so, as advised by a friend, I decided to give a try to the lipstrick from Oriflame.
I ordered it online, and the price is the average of a good lipstick. It …
Asda Cool Lilac Body Spray
I do tend to stick to the 1 brand name of Body Spray and stock up on it when it is on offer for £1, but sometimes I run out and it isn’t on offer and I refuse to pay £2 for a 75ml body spray, so I pick …
ELF Studio Corrective Concealer
ELF makeup is so inexpensive that I couldn’t stop buying them! I ended up with a huge haul and my favorite out of it is definitely the ELF Studio Corrective Concealer. I paid only $3 for this bad boy and it is definitely worth it. It comes with four …
Burt’s Bees Deep Cleansing Cream
I recently become a big fan of natural skin care products. I’m always seeking ways to improve my health and found our skin (largest organ) should not be neglected in the quest for better health. It may come as a surprise to some that, for example, “uric acid”, …
Noxzema Triple Blade Razors
The Sunday Newspaper ran a coupon for these razors with a money back rebate. I figured, “What the heck.”
I’ve been shaving my legs with one of these razors now for over 2 weeks with needing to shave every three days. The razor is still sharp and I …
L’Oreal Pure Zone Deep Exfoliating Gel Wash
L’Oreal Pure Zone Deep Exfoliating Gel Wash falls short on its promise “to help fight and effectively prevent the development of imperfections.” Its beads are also not very effective in unblocking pores.
Let me give you an idea on my skin type, so that you can better appreciate my …
Underground hair salon in Northampton MA
The Underground hair salon in Northampton looked like a little crap hole to be honest because the outside of this place wasn’t impressive at all and nothing to be amazed by. The place actually looked a little cheaply done up from the outside which was not a good thing …
Clinique Shimmering Stripes Powder Blusher
Always a big fan of all Clinique makeup and skin care products, I recently picked up an item that is new to me, when I was shopping for my usual cleanser at the Clinique counter at my local department store. I rarely buy things on impulse, but this was …
Palmolive Aroma Therapy Bath Foam “Morning Tonic”
Living a hectic life doesn’t allow for much quality time to be spent simply relaxing - there’s always something on the horizon, and therefore, the few moments of utter peace I get to enjoy are particularly important. The quiet bubble bath I take every once in a while is …
O’slee UV Block Powder SPF20 PA++ (UVWhite++)
I have always been careful with sun screen product. I used to believe the higher the SPF the better the product but I was very wrong. I once purchased a sun block with SPF above 100 and it caused me rashes on the skin. It appears that the higher …
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon
I really like the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils because they’re very soft eyeliners with a great pigmentation. They last a pretty long time as far as pencil eyeliner is concerned. I already owned the black eyeliner from Urban Decay which is Zero, and sometimes black eyeliner is …
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub
Something very bad happened to my skin when I hit 30 years old-the pimples that I was fortunate enough not to have when I was a teenager suddenly began appearing at a certain time of the month. It was never bad enough for me to begin some sort of medication …
Shiseido Fine Liquid Liner
I recently purchased the Shiseido Fine Liquid Liner and I do not like it. It is one of those products that makes me wish that I could actually return makeup to get my money back but since I have already used it, I am out of luck. I can’t …
Fabulous Fake Tan Tanning Gel
I got my bottle of this wonderful tanning product at the Beauty Bar. I was checking on the Model Co. Airbrush Tan but it seems too dark for me, it was almost bordering on murkiness. I was about to spend a week at Palawan …
GHD Classic 1″ Styler
I heard about this GHD straightener from my friend. I had very short hair at the time and we were planning a girl’s night out. She actually curled my hair using this straightener and I was so impressed with how easy it was and how good of a job …
Scalpicin Maximum Strength Liquid Scalp Itch Treatment
I have suffered from an itchy scalp for years. I honestly do not know what causes my condition. I have seen doctors and discussed it with hair dressers but my only diagnosis has been dry scalp. It turns out that doctors are also hesitant to offer …
E.L.F. Blending Eye Brush
I ordered a lot of brushes from E.L.F. after trying out their eye shadow brush, and I am falling in love with every one of them! I am reviewing the E.L.F. Blending Eye Brush, because it is a staple in my make up routine. The bristles are dense, but …
Avon hawaiian Shores Body Mist
I have been using this Body spray for a couple of months now and I find it to be just the kind of smell that I go for. This has only been out for a few months and I think that this is the perfect Summer time kind of …
Ion Mega Hold Freezing Spray
Having had many different hair styles over the years I’ve used a lot of different hairsprays depending on how firm I wanted the hold to be. My hair is wavy, a bit fine, and right now almost to my waist. But I have long layers in it, bangs, and …
Revlon Realistic: Finisheen
Revlon Finisheen actually gives you the appearance of natural luster. At first I hated it the sheen because I thought it was basically grease in a bottle, but when I actually followed the directions (lol) and shook it up after completing a great look, it added just the right …
Rimmel Glam Eyes Flirt Mascara
I had tried this Rimmel Glam Eyes Flirt Mascara after I had tried the original glam eye mascara and the results were okay with that one and I really wanted to try this one and see the results that I got from it. I’ve only tried a few mascaras …
ELF Facial Whip Golden Peach
This was an interesting product that I tried a little while ago, and I wish that I could still use it. I tried the shimmering facial whip by Eyes Lips Face, and was amazing at just how versatile it is. I had thought that this would be a disgusting …
N’Rage hair color (cobalt blue)
Since I am allergic to PPD (a chemical that is found in permanent hair dyes), I am mostly restricted to using non-permanent hair dyes that won’t send me to the hospital with a possibly fatal allergic reaction. I discovered N’Rage at my local Sally Beauty Supply. I originally went …
Cottonseed Curl Boost
Cottonseed Curl Boost, is a great product for your hair. It is ofcourse good for curly hair,but it also works nicely on wavy hair. This product really defines and shows off your style. It has a strange kind of scent to it, but the scent doesn’t last to long. …
Mac Select SPF 15 Foundation in NW20
This is one of the best foundations I have ever used, my other favorites are also from Mac but in different shades but this one totally suits me the best! I think it’s the palest nudest shade they got and this shade is called NW20, it’s perfect for pale …
Coppertone Sun Block
I grew up with Coppertone sun care products, and they are a trusted member of our family during summer season. I have very fair skin, and burn easily and rely on sun block to avoid the skin cancer to which my family is prone.
What attracted me to this family …
Sally Hansen Gel Cuticle Remover
As I tend to be a thrifty person, I give myself pedicures and manicures rather then having it done at the salon. Hey, I can file and paint my own nails right? It is definitely a lot cheaper to invest in a few good bottles of nail polish and …
Cover Girl Lash Blast Luxe Mascara
I was really interested in trying this mascara because I really loved the original Volume Blast by mascara and this mascara Lash Blast Luxe was suppose to do the same thing as the original Lash Blast but the Lash Blast Luxe would also have glittery flecks to your eyelashes. …
Anew Clincial Retexturizing Peel
I really recommend anyone who is troubled by aging skin to try Avon’s Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel. This peel is truly amazing. You can get it by going to www.avon.com or by calling your local Avon representative. Regular price for the peel is $25.00 for 30 …

The Product
Cayenne Glaze is a sheer red shade with lots of sparkles.
The container is a soft squeeze plastic tube with a slant-tip applicator.
This has thin consistency and quite runny.
The price is around $2 to $3.
My Feedback
I have read that the Glassy Gloss from Wet n Wild is very good …
Maybelline Lash DIscovery Washable Mascara
I love my eyelashes and I like making them pop. My eyes are my best feature and I have naturally beautiful eye lashes I like to make stand out but I hate for them to look like I am wearing mascara. This is a lot to ask …
Belo Men Whitening Body Bar
I am always happy when a certain cosmetic brand has an exclusive “for men” products because it gives me an assurance that these are tailored for men’s skin needs. It use to be, I have to use mainstream products–those used by women because I cannot find any exclusive …
