Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I got my first introduce to Aveeno products from a friend who uses Aveeno Lotion products for years. In her place I saw several Aveeno products. According to her, Aveeno are the only products that suit her satisfaction. That time she let me used her Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion …
Pantene Pro-V Total Care Conditioner
I just bought a conditioner for my very dull hair. I have thin, dull, limp hair and I have been using different hotel shampoos for the past few days and already I can see that it is taking a toll on my hair. I was not able to purchase …
C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve at Sephora
I like to visit Sephora a lot, and though they are expensive, they do have some good deals every now and then. This past winter I was visiting my local Sephora store when I saw this product. It is specifically made with rose hips and vitamin E to …
Revlon Gentle Cuticle Remover
It’s truly amazing to me all the things that Revlon has managed to come up with over the years. I remember the days when the only products they sold were foundations and powders and now they have a whole line of makeup products and nail care products. I think …
Philosophy Kiss Me Lip Balm
Philosophy Kiss Me Lip Balm comes packaged in two ways: a jar and a tube. The one I am reviewing here is the jar variety. The jar is small, only .5 oz. Philosophy products are on the expensive side, and this one is no exception: you’ll have to shell …
Benefit Badgal Lash mascara
Over the holidays I was given a gift set of sample mascaras from Sephora. Well, they were bought from Sephora, not that they gave it to me for free. It was a gift from my boyfriend. I had mentioned in passing that they would be a neat gift since …
Bare Escentuals Rare Minerals Blemish Therapy
Even though I am no longer a teenager, I still have to deal with stubborn acne from time to time. My skin is acne prone because it is so oily, particularly on my forehead and cheeks. It is such a frustrating thing to have to deal with and it …
St. Ives Whitening Apricot Scrub for All Skin Types
After returning from a holiday to India I noticed how tan my skin had become from being outdoors in the sweltering heat of the Indian summer. I knew this is going to take a long while to go back to normal and I began to look out for …
Maybelline The Colossal Volum’Express Mascara
This big bright yellow tube is what attracted me to the product, but nothing else about this mascara screams amazing or interesting. As a drugstore mascara, it does a decent job at both lengthening and adding volume to my very sad and thin eyelashes, and it hold the curl …
Rimmel lipstick IS long lasting
I love this lipstick. The color is deep and long-lasting. I can put it on in the morning around 8:00 and it will last until lunchtime. This is
especially extraordinary because I am drinking tea or water during the whole morning. It feels like it has moisturizers in it. When …
Korres Vanilla Plum Body Butter
Earlier, someone sent me a very nice gift set. My sister in law used to ramble about korres products, so and so, I have only tried the cherry lip gloss, and she’s very incessant to the generous extent of giving me a set of korres products from the …
Chanel Blue Satin Nail Polish
Now it is very seldom that I purchase a nail polish from a high scale brand, such as Chanel. I like to stay towards the regular beauty supply nail polishes, but the well known, popular, and trusted brands, such as OPI and China Glaze for examples, my 2 favorites! …

Although im only 30 i wanted to start taking care of my skin better,i have oily skin but sometimes i get dry patches,i had also noticed fine lines coming around my eyes so i started looking for a good anti aging cream.I started looking at avon as they had …
Suave Advanced Therapy Lotion
When I went to Hong Kong during the winter, I was really dreading the cold weather and my equally dry skin. It was so terrible because I had to commute to get to places and the cold wind drafts really dried out my face and my hands. My legs …
Alverde tanning face cream
There are several reasons why I like Alverde tanning face cream, first off all is that it isn’t very strong, it doesn’t darken your skin much at a time. At first I considered that to be a bad thing but than I realised that it isn’t actually because A …
Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile Deodorant Spray
I was never fond of roll on or stick deodorants. I always preferred spray on deodorants but finding one that had the right scent and still lasted all day was difficult. Many spray on deodorants are either too strong or two weak. I’d either end up with a really …
Diadermine Cleansing Milk
Even if I only put on light make-up daily, I need a good cleansing lotion to wipe off that stuff from my face. There’s nothing like a good, squeaky feeling just before going to bed free from grime, dirt and make-up. I picked up this cleansing lotion at the …
Cover FX Total Coverage Cream Foundation
This foundation literally made me look like a greasy cakey clown. I got this from Sephora, and it cost around $50.00 with tax in CA. I can’t believe I spent this much on such a low quality product.
The employees at Sephora recommended this product to …
Epilady Epic Chic Corded Epilator, Model EP-813-12
I wasn’t sure how I felt about the idea of using an epilator because it always seemed like those things would hurt. They seem much less comfortable than using a men’s electric shaver, so I went back and forth for a good while between getting a good mens razor …
Crazy Coconut Shampoo by Avon Kids
I’ve always loved buying beauty products from Avon and now I have children I find their shampoos and bath products to be the best around. My daughter is 2 years old and has quite long hair for her age which is thin but there is lots of it. …
Head ‘n Shoulders Menthol Anti Dandruff Shampoo
In all honesty, although this product is dermatologically tested, and me being against testing of products on animals, I really needed a lasting solution to my dandruff problem, which I had been carrying around with me for a number of years, trying different products all the time.
While many of …
Avon Anew Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum
I purchased this product from Avon after seeing an advertisement for it in one of my magazines. The claims that were made in the ad were pretty remarkable, and sold me on the product right away. The ad said that this serum would fill up wrinkles and …
Anew Clinical Lift and Tuck
I ordered this product from an Avon catalogue, and like most Avon products I have used over the years, I found this one to be a complete waste of time and money. I also learned two things which are, the best way to get a better and healthier looking …
Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick
I’ve always been skeptical of Covergirl products. The quality never seemed to be very good and the packaging always managed to break on me. But lately I’ve been on a lipstick craze. And the colors from this line immediately stood out to me. I walked by and saw about …
Exposed Acne care
If you’re looking for a quick fix for your acne problem, well look no further, but if your looking to actually fix the problem and not have it come back, well keep looking.
I bought Exposed off their website about 2 months ago for about 60 dollars Canadian, i got …
Laura Mercier Flawless Face Kit
As I was browsing my local Sephora recently, I came upon Laura Mercier’s Flawless Face Kit. For $65 I got a ton of stuff to help me create Laura’s signature “flawless face” so I thought it was definitely worth it. This kit contains smaller versions of tinted moisturizer, primer, …
OBAGI Pore Therapy
I’m going to start right off here and say that I don’t really have a need for acne treatment products for the most part, and I was a bit mislead when I purchased this OBAGI Pore Therapy. I assumed it was just a product used to minimize the appearance …
Go Smile Go Discover Teeth Whitening Discovery Kit
I’ve tried a couple Crest Whitestrips for whitening my teeth, and they didn’t work, and those things aren’t cheap either. I decided if I was going to invest some money for recovering my teeth from decades worth of smoking and obsessive coffee drinking, that I might as well get …
BFTE Indelible Gel Eyeliner
Now, the thing about Beauty from the Earth, is that just about everything (maybe it IS everything, I am not quite sure, but it sure seems like it all is) mineral cosmetics. I have always loved to wear mineral makeup, because before I tried it, every other kind of …
Suave Professionals Sleek Conditioner
Suave has come out with a line of professional shampoos and conditioners that are meant to imitate the results of the more expensive shampoo companies. I have tried several of the shampoo and conditioners in the Suave Professionals line and I’ve really like them. That, along with …
Mary Kay Signature Eyesicles Eye Color in Island Bronze
Island Bronze is one of the two Mary Kay Eyesicle Eye Colors. It’s a cream eyeshadow that changes to powder after it dries, and it claims to be waterproof. This color is a bronzey-copper color, and I decided to try it out. It is a really pretty color, but …
Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm was one of several cosmetic items given to me by my Aunt. I look up its price online and its quite expensive for a lip balm. It costs around US$4. I heard a lot of positive feedback about this item from some friends who …
Merida Cuticle Conditioner Swabs
I struggle with my cuticles, the little bits of ragged skin around the base of my fingernails and toenails. Cutting them is often quite painful, and then all around my fingers gets red and raw looking and people ask me what is wrong. I had to keep doing something …
Revlon ColorStay Foundation with SoftFlex
This is the perfect foundation for people who need heavy coverage and do not want to spend a lot of money. My skin is soft to the touch, but has a lot of redmarks, which are very hard to cover up. I have spent quite some time searching for …
Nivea Lip Care Hydro Care
My lips usually require more attention during winter, when the cold is particularly cruel to them. Normally I just use any lipgloss, because that’s enough to keep them protected.
But during summer, when I wear little to no makeup my lips get dry faster than I can say “lipgloss”. So …
DiorShow Blackout
Being a cosmetic patron I love it whenever I get a free sample after spending an amount of money. My most favorite free sample product was DiorShow Blackout. Dior is a high-end cosmetic and having to get one for free is like hitting beauty jackpot. Anyway I tried this …
Origins Clear Head Mint Shampoo
Being in the tropics has lots of repercussions. I do not enjoy the weather much and it has harsh effects on the human body. The skin is always a target. You can develop dark spots, your skin will age fast, darker skin tone and skin cancer if you constantly …
Coles Hair Fitness System (Shampoo and Conditioner)
I had never heard of the Coles Hair Fitness System, which consists of a 400ml bottle of Complete Balance Shampoo, and a 400ml bottle of Complete Balance Conditioner, until a friend of mine suggested it to me. I have bought many brands of shampoo and conditioner over the years …
Maybelline ExpertWear Eye Shadow Quad, Designer Chocolates
Product: Maybelline ExpertWear Eye Shadow Quad
Color: Designer Chocolates
This quad is light, pretty, flirty, and fun. I’m not usually a huge fan of browns or neutrals, but I find that this quad is perfect to use on a casual summer day, when I want makeup that’s lightweight, easy to …
Nivea Cream for Men
This morning before leaving home, I shaved, and I happened to want to write my opinion and personal experience of the products I use.
For some time, and almost exclusively, I’ve use for my shaving and face care Nivea brand products, mainly aftershave balm and recovery of the skin.
Nivea is …
Avene Diacneal
In one of my reviews on Avene, I did mention that I’ve already discontinued the usage of Avene Diacneal. This is simply because the product causes some reaction to my face after some time. Avene Diacneal is a complementary care for acne prone skin surface. It is packaged in …
Burt’s Bees Lemon Poppy Seed Facial Cleanser
In the wintertime my skin is slightly drier and sometimes I can actually have combination skin. Once of the best natural facial cleansers I like to use during this time is Burt’s Bees Lemon Poppy Seed Facial Cleanser. It contains natural skin nourishing, healing, and cleansing ingredients in it. …
Victoria Jackson Survival Kit
My favorite cosmetics are those that come from Victoria Jackson. I absolutely swear by her collections and have for a lot of years now. This particular item, the Victoria Jackson Survival Kit, is one that has gone with me on trips both near and far. It’s …
Pantene PRO V Hair Fall Control Shampoo
I’m currently wrestling with financial constraints because of strained bank relations. I’m really not savvy when it comes to banking transactions, to the point of losing my credit card, along with it goes the power to buy overseas which practically means that shopping online is no longer possible. …
Marc Anthony Damage Repair Intensive Treatment
I recently purchased the Marc Anthony Damage Repair Intensive Treatment. To be quite honest, the name influenced me to purchase it more than anything else. I hadn’t heard much about whether the product worked or not, but “intensive treatment” is something I thought that I could definitely use. My …
OPI Nail Envy
As a nail technician, I often encounter clients asking me about OPI Nail Envy. This is a very popular product, and for good reason. The product delivers on what it claims to do.
OPI Nail Envy is applied to the nails to make them stronger, thicker, and less …
Misa Nail Polish
I bought some nail polish or also called nail colors the other day, as I love styling my fingers and toe nails so much. The basic manicure and pedicure is also in my line of interest, so to make my nails look gorgeous and don “make up” on …
MAC Slimshine
Price : SGD30
Colour : Funshine
Price : 1/5
I can’t understand why a middle-range makeup brand is selling at luxury prices in Singapore. Note also that the volume of this lipstick is much smaller than any other normal full sized lipstick.
Packaging : 4/5
Packaging is sexy sleek. Love it.
Texture : 4/5
Applies quite sheer …
Arbonne Skin Care Products
I have been a faithful Arbonne user for about 3 years now and I can’t imagine using anything else anymore. I love the light citrus smell. I use the NutriMinC RE9 Anti-Aging system for the Face and my skin looks and feels great. Everyone is amazed …
Sunsilk Summer Fresh Shampoo
I have very long hair and as a result, I am very picky about the products I use on my hair. I scour the grocery stores for shampoos and conditioner for hours on end because I make it a point to rotate my shampoos every now and then. I …
