OPI eyeshadows
Try out new products and play with colors, so over the years I’ve developed a good collection of makeup from different brands. One brand of cosmetic that I’m not too familiar with is OPI. I’ve heard they’re known for their nail polishes and I do love them for that, …
Carmex Mint Flavor SPF 15 Carded Stick
In the wintertime I like to use Carmex Mint Flavor with SPF 15 Carded Stick to help keep my lips protected from dry air and wind burn when I am outside in the cold. The lip balm is a bit thick and waxy feeling, but you really can’t notice …
Olay Whitening Cream
When I saw the ads from Olay Whitening Cream for the first time, I already decided that I want to try this product. I know that Olay have good cosmetic products. But I never try the one with whitening.

Morrisons Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
I am very pleased with this Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream, despite the fact that it is a rather economically priced cream from Morrisons own brand. I have ageing skin that is very dry and in recent years I have noticed how thin the skin has got underneath my eyes …

Growing up in my parents’ household, wearing nail polish was absolutely prohibited. I’ve always wanted gloss on some sexy shade of red nail polish, like the women in the classic movies; their hands looked so refined and elegant. But after years of not being allowed to wear …
Avon Ice Sheers Lip Balm Refreshing Pear

Nivea Sun High Protection Sun Lotion SPF30

MAC Select SPF 15 Foundation (NC20 - NC40)
MAC has always been my go-to foundation choice. I really like budget makeup, but there are a few things that are worth paying extra for, and foundation is one of them. My original reason for choosing MAC was because they are certified by the National Anti-Vivisection Society that they …
Member’s Mark Antibacterial Anti-Drip Liquid Soap
We bought this at a Duty Free shop and seeing as it had an anti-drip formula, we just had to try and test it out if it really works as washing your hands and just shaking them off before you wipe them can be time-consuming and whoever wants wet …
Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel

Wild Shine Lip Lacquer by Wet N Wild

Clear Basics Berry Antibacterial HandSoap
The Clear Basics Berry Scented Antibacterial HandSoap was very reasonably priced. I purchased it at my local Dollar General Store, and it was only $1.00, plus tax. I must say that the little pink, plastic bottle with very little decorative print doesn’t look very chic in my lush and …

L’Occitane Verbena Summer Secret Moisturizing Body Gel 8.4 oz

Herbal Essences totally twisted curl scrunching gel
I don’t usually buy hair gel, unless I’m going to blow dry my curly hair straight. I’ve never had a gel that works with my curly hair, but I was drawn to buying Herbal Essences totally twisted curl scrunching gel.
This is a very visual product. Its a 170g purple …
Hortaleza Hair Cuticle Coat Leave-on

I purchased this because I liked the color (it goes well with my eyes), and I wanted to see what ‘cream’ eyeshadow was all about. I’ve also liked several Jane products that I tried. The color I purchased is ‘OH YES’, a toned-down olive green.
THE PRICE:
I think I paid …

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner
I’ve been a fan of The Body Shop products for years. I don’t tend to buy them online and wait until I am over at 1 of their shops to get the items. After all at least you get to smell the things before you buy them.
I’ve just started …
NYC Lipsticks

Emu Oil Shampoo by Longview Farms
I read a lot about the healing properties of Emu Oil on the internet, including for skin and scalp problems like psoraisis, and ordered Emu Oil “Advance Energising Body and Shine Shampoo” by Longview Farms.
Don’t make the same mistake as me, lured by their claims to arrest falling hair …
L.A Girls Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss in Rebel
Recently, everyone, including myself, is OBSSESED with liquid lipsticks, especially matte ones, and the reason for that I think is because they’re the most comfortable lip product I’ve ever tried on.

Olay Regenerist
