Sheer Cover Mineral Makeup
For many months I have heard every girl rave about how great mineral makeup is. At every cosmetics counter I went to for a good product, their only suggestion was mineral powder. I gave in a few weeks ago and ordered Sheer Cover from that infomercial that is …
Retinol Skin Brightener
Due to the sun, getting a little bit older, and other environmental factors I would have to say that using a skin brightener is a good idea. The results take time,but I have been using Retinol Skin Brightener for about 3 weeks now and see a difference in my …
O.P.I Lacquer Nail Polish
All of us girls in the family use O.P.I Nail Polish since it’s supposed to be a very good brand. I’ve had no disappointments with O.P.I ever since, but last week I had my usual mani-pedi and some nail polish on my hands and feet since we were going …
Cricket 1″ Friction Free Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron
Besides the Chi, which costs over $100, the Cricket 1″ Friction Free Flat Iron is the best flat iron I’ve ever had. I found it at Sally’s Beauty Supply for only $40. I was hesititant to buy it at first because it wasn’t even $50 and I’ve …

Beauty From the Earth mix and fix medium
Beauty From the Earth carried only loose mineral eye shadows, and so do most mineral makeup companies. I prefer to have pressed powders because they are much easier to use, but it is a lot harder to find pressed mineral eye shadows than the loose ones, and there is …

Bare Minerals SPF 15 Powder Foundation by Bare Escentuals

Clinique Superbalanced Liquid Foundation

MAC Pro Lash
One may think that getting a mascara from a particular cosmetic brand is enough. The most prestigious brands may advertise huge celebrity faces but ultimately the taste of the pudding in the eating as the classic saying goes. In my experience, trying that particular brand and experiencing it myself …
Show of Hands Instant Manicure
This is one of my new favourite products. You simply stir the contents of the container, dip a spoon in and let most of it run off and then rub you hands with what remains on the spoon. It exfoliates the dead skin cells on …
Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer

Vitress Hair Polish - Sun Protect

Burt’s Bees Extra Energizing Body Wash Citrus & Ginger Root
