Neutrogena Acne Stress Control, Power-Clear Scrub

Tresemme Curl Hydration Lotion Creme
Most of my friends are product junkies like me. I have naturally curly African American hair that tends to suffer from dryness. I always seem to have a difficult time find products for my hair that will both keep it moisturized and define my curls without leaving …
Physicians Formula Matte Collection Quad Eye Shadow
It seems like nowadays, it has become difficult for me to fine eye shadows that don’t have a shimmer to them. I go for more of the natural look, and shimmer all over my eyes, for everyday use, just doesn’t work.
I was happy when I found this product, because …
Body Shop Coconut Body Butter
Even though I hate how long it takes to apply full body lotion, I love how I feel afterwards. My skin always feel really soft and smooth, and I always smell really nice. Body Shop’s Coconut Body Butter is like a really great body lotion but five times better. …
Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Soap
Sometimes we develop zits at our back and it is the most frustrating of all. I really thought that it is because of the dirt and bacteria in the swimming pool I used to swim when I was still doing swimming lessons. I was trying to get an alternative …
L’Oreal Paris De-Crease Eye Shadow Base
L’Oreal De-Crease Eye Shadow Base is a product that is supposed to act as a primer for your eye shadow so that it goes on very easily and so that the color does not fade throughout the day. It is also supposed to help to really bring out the …
L’Occitane Shea Butter Daily Duo Set
I like when people take care about themselves. I have a perfect example of my mother who is a very well cared-for only because of her habit to use all facilities and remedies to take care of her face and body. In spite of that she is a busy …
La Marine Bio-essentials, L’eau d’Ocean, Spot-clearing Concentrate
During last holiday season, I was regularly busy attending parties and occasional social events. I had to joggle between make up changes that I probably overdosed my self with a ton of cosmetics. As an aftermath, my poor skin developed a minor case of pimples, I got …
Clearskin Immediate Response Cleanser
As a child, I always had issues with skin care problems. When puberty hit, I was overcome by acne which was sometimes so severe that it would have me hiding in my bedroom for days at a time. I hated the idea of going to school and having to …
RA 100% Pure Shea Butter
Never before had I decided to use shea butter in my hair until I went natural. It was essential for me to use hair products that would protect my hair rather than weigh my hair down with harsh and damaging chemicals. I knew that going natural meant that I …
The Body Shop’s Olive Body Scrub
How is it that I only recently discovered the Olive Body Scrub from The Body Shop? At the time, I thought it must have been a new product but apparently it’s been around for a while. Does this mean I have been walking past in the stores and skimming …
Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate Rouge Body Cream
I bought this a couple of years ago during the holiday season. Back then, Crabtree & Evelyn called this scent Pomegranate Rouge. Now they carry a scented body cream that is simply called Pomegranate. So I don’t know whether it is basically the same holiday scent, and they just …
Define a Lash (maybelline)
The new Maybelline mascara Define a Lash is amazing. As an avid collector of makeup I can tell you there claims are true. This mascara gives you longer lashes and if you curl them first it gives you that awesome vertical lift. What makes this stand out so much …
MAC prep + prime skin base visage 30ml
I’ll begin by offering a review of the packaging. The cardboard packaging is black with speckles of purple and green glitter which i believe makes it more appealing to the eye rather than just the normal black bogstandard MAC packaging. The container itself is also black with purple and …
Dermalogics V10 Natural Tech 30 Eye Make-up Remover Pads
I picked up this mini pack of eye make-up remover pads from the section at the supermarket for the travel toiletries. I got them from Morrisons and they were really cheap at about 50p or something. I would not recommend that you buy these pads because I …
Eucerin Body Lotion with SPF 15
Given I live in a sunny place, I prefer to always use a body lotion that has a built in sun protection. I am surprised that there are not that many on the market, or at least there are not that many that I have found. I …
Maybelline Volume XL Seduction Plumping Lipcolor
I bought the new Maybelline Volume XL Seduction lipstick because it was on sale at CVS and I had a coupon. I have never owned any other tubes of Maybelline lipstick, only their mascara, so I went into using this new product without any ideas as to how good …

Phillips Norelco Razor
I don’t like shaving much, but every now and then I need a clean shave so that’s where a good razor comes in. I have the Norelco Razor, and for most of the time I think it works fine, but it has more short comings than good benefits.
I …

Maja Blush On Almudena color
Though I have very pale skin, and it’s sometimes ridiculous for me to worry about blush because I have a busy life and really have no need for it, occassionally I like to indulge, especially when I’m heading out with my husband for a romantic evening, and gussy myself …
NIVEA Brilliant Blonde shampoo (Hair care)
I have naturally dark blonde hair but have been dying it a much lighter shade for two years now.

L’ Oreal foundation
One of my latest favorite foundations when it comes to beauty enhancement is a product from L’Oreal because it gives an impressive result to my face. More often, especially in the morning where I am in a hurry for work, I preferred a dry foundation rather than a wet …
Avon Senses Magical Shower Gel
This Shower gel was more of a limited edition one and to be honest it didn’t last all that long in the main book. It has been out in the Sale books quite a lot so either they have lots of this stock to shift, or it’s a kind …
Ponds Cold Cream
I think ponds cold cream doesn’t need any introduction. Everybody has heard about this cream because it’s around from long time. When I was kid I saw my mom using it and now I am using it. It comes in little plastic
Ponds cold cream walks clumsily on skin …

I have noticed some fine lines on top of my cheeks. I …
Ce-Ce of Sweden: Ce-Ce Med Plus Sensitive Shampoo
Typically, I tend to have at least three different shampoos on my shelf at a given time: one for dyed hair, one that is properly cleansing, and one that is a little milder, for the days when I don’t want to torture my hair too much. The previous winter, …
Avon Moisture Theraphy Shea Butter Body Lotion
This stuff sucks! The end! No guys, I’m serious… if you’re looking for an amazing lotion that has the consistency to moisturize and leave your skin feeling refreshed, (especially in these cold winter months) you’re not going to find it. I was expecting something of a manila to vanilla …
Lip Vitamins Lip Balm
I bought my Lip Vitamins Lip Balm at a local dollar store for around a dollar. The Lip Vitamins Lip Balm comes in Vanilla Bean scent, and has a smooth, non-greasy feel to its application. I think the vanilla smell in this lip balm is …

Boots No. 7 True Identity Foundation

Lucky Deodorant Soap
I ran out of soap last week and, not having a ton of money, I ended up going to the store in search of a brand that was affordable (and not too girly). After looking around, I ended up buying a couple bars of soap from the Lucky brand.
My …
Zwipes Microfiber Cloths
I bought Zwipes Microfiber Cloths last year and they were pretty good. Here are my opinions on it.
These microfiber cloths are actually kitchen rags, but they are much well-made, because of the material they are made of. They measure 12″ x 16″ so they are pretty large, they …
