Lip Smacker Sponge-On Sparkler lip gloss in Cherry Meteor
The Product
Cherry Meteor shade is a sheer red color with lots of sparkles from the tube.
The container is a 7.1 gram-tube with a silver cap where the doe-foot applicator is attached.
This has a cherry-flavored bubblegum scent but surprisingly no taste coming from a brand that is known to have …
L’Oreal After Hours Nail Polish
I was going on a short family vacation to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday and realized last minute that my nails looked horrendous. To fix the problem, I ran to a local pharmacy to pick up some nail polish. It’s winter so I was feeling like something a bit darker …
Johnson’s 3 in 1 Facial Cleansing Wipes for Combination Skin
I made a boob actually because I have dry, ageing skin and I accidentally bought the wipes formulated for combination skin, but I can still give a rave review of these. As I will explain, I think these are great wipes for cleansing and removing make-up and, despite …
AcneFree Clear Skin System
I got AcneFree Clear Skin System by accident. I should have taken it back the moment that I figured it out but I thought I would just give it a try any way. The package looks just like the Nutragena acne skin system I was going to get. It …
Lakhme flawless matte complexion compact
The lakhme flawless matt complexion compact is the product which best suits for my face. The main reason why I like this compact is because it is completely oil free and not only that it absorbs the excess oil from our face when we apply it. It …

VS Pro Voluptuous FX Mascara

Garnier Anti Dark Circle Eye Roller
My dark circles have always been a cause of great concern to me for quite a few years now. The fact that I happen to spend a lot of time in front of the computer only worsens the condition, thereby making look just like a patient out of the …
Heads and Shoulders 2 in 1 Shampoo
I’ve been using this for awhile and I find it satisfactory. It doesn’t smell much like anything which is good for people who don’t want traces of strong-smelling shampoo, but bad for people who like those fruity flowery smells. There’s a label that also says that this shampoo will …
OPI Bubble Bath nail polish
I love OPI. I have been forever searching for that perfect shade of neutral that would go with my skin tone and not chip but show clean, pretty nails and I found that perfect color in OPI’s Bubble Bath. I can wear this at work and I’m a …
Axe Deodorant
I am not really into deodorants, but I do sue that at some odd occasion. I saw add of this one , (which was a bit naughty!) and the name somehow stuck in my memory, and the next time I went to buy a deodorant, it promptly popped …
O.P.I. Nail Lacquer in Atomic Orange
I’m a fan of O.P.I.’s fashionable collection of unapologetic bright-colored nail polishes. If only I can hoard everything from this collection. I am still haunted by the ‘no more room for blues’ color which is a very neon blue polish. I was looking for a warmer, …
MAC Fix Spray
I was not intending to buy anything as I roamed the aisles and counters of beauty and personal care, when a bottle of MAC Fix caught my eye. The name intrigued me, as I asked, “What does this fix?” The lady over the counter said that it was sort …
Etude House Precious Minerals BB Cream in Sheer Glowing Skin
A common fault in many BB creams is that they never try (as in never!) to diversify their selection of shades. My problem with all the BB creams is none of them, thus far, matches my skin. I didn’t choose this shade myself, as it was given …
Dove moisturizing bar soap
My cousin visited us one summer, and I noticed that every time I went into the bathroom after her, there was this smooth and fragrant scent left in the room. I knew that it wasn’t any of the cleaning products that I owned. And it certainly …
VO5 Detangle & Shine Daily Weightless Leave-In Conditioner
V05 Detangle & Shine worked great for me from the first time I used it. My daughter purchases a bottle of it and I decided I would give it a try, since it makes her hair shiny and manageable. After I washed my hair and blow drying, …
Carmex Everyday Lip Conditioner
My lips have been severely cracked and bleeding due to being dried out from the wind and sun I was in the other day while gardening. I tried the usual Chapstick lip balm to help repair them and it simply was not enough to hydrate my lips. I even …
E.L.F Tone Correcting Concealer
I’ve been using E.L.F cosmetics for a while now and I love them. The majority of their products are only a dollar and I find them to be of very good quality. One of the products that I have been using is the Tone Correcting Concealer in …
Stay-Clear Daily Pore Cleansing Pads by Clearasil
Thankfully the lord has chosen to bless me with relatively good skin. However my face can get oily and my pores do tend to get clogged and sometimes I just don’t really feel like washing my face as I am either very tired or in a time crunch. I …
Perfect Solutions Men’s Grooming Kit with Nose Hair Trimmer
This is a real extensive grooming kit. It’s pretty much got everything that a guy could need in order to look presentable. It’s a great shame though that while this kit contains many grooming tools, they all happen to be pretty cheaply made. That’s something that seems to be …
Watsons Ceramic Hair Straightener
Having my hair straightened at the beauty salon is not enough for me to maintain a long and straight hair. Maybe a week or two after it has been straightened, it would really look and feel straight, but after a month, little curls would begin to show, especially if …
Nivea Visage Sparkling White Whitening Toner
This Nivea toner acts like a mild astringent that clarifies skin with continued use. I use it every night before going to sleep. I apply it on my face and neck. I’m a fan of Nivea products (I also use their deodorant) because of the mild ingredients used that …
Aveeno Skin Relief Fragrance Free Body Wash
I have sensitive skin that can react harshly to body soaps, shampoos, and cosmetics. However, it can also react harshly to things like poison ivy which I happened to find myself in last fall while taking my children hiking along a nature trail. My legs itched so badly the …
Avon Naturals Juicy Watermelon Room Spray
This is a new smell out in Avon and a smell that I just had to try. I like the smell of Watermelon and although it isn’t the strongest smell it is just a nice more subtle kind of smell which is just the kind of smell that I …

Mary Kay Concealer
Mary Kay Concealer works like a charm for me. I am inclined to getting dark circles under my eyes. Most everyone in my family has the dark under eye circles, some worse than others. I think mine are about in the middle. I have tried so …
Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel
An alcohol free styling gel is a good thing to find. Not only is this one alcohol free, but it claims to regulate your hair’s natural moisturizing system, and provide UV protection. I bought the 32 oz jar for less than 4.00 at a chain beauty supply store.
Other than …
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Tousled Tresses
I admit to being a sucker for new hair products, especially those that have interesting names and are made by well-known brands. I don’t spend tons of money on new products, but once in awhile, I will see an ad that looks like something I could use, or sometimes …
ELF’s Get the Look Smokey Eyes
A good smoky eye completes a formal outfit. I was never able to get it right, and then when I saw the line of smoky eyes they had available, I just had to buy one. So, I went ahead and bought them, thinking that if I could finally figure …
Hollister Malaia Moisturizer
Hollister Malaia body moisturizer comes in an attractive bottle with a very appealing sweet and musky scent. I purchased a bottle during the cold winter months, hoping it would salvage my dry skin and cracking hands. While it initially seemed to relieve the dryness, continual use seemed …
MAC Lipgloss in Nymphette
I am a big believer in MAC, and all those high end brands because, well, because they work, and they actually do what they say they will do, rather than put up false claims and leave me disappointed. I have never been unhappy with a MAC product, unless it …
Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions Anti-Breakage Detangler
I recently got and tried Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions Anti-Breakage Detangler for my dry fine hair to help comb it out when it was damp, or simply too add moisture to it when it was really dry. So far I like the results I am seeing and I …

more, the best moisturizers …
Alberto European Curls & Waves styling mousse
I have always dreamed of curly hair, but my stubborn, straight-ish hair is really hard to curl easily without an actual curler. As I have no time for curling my hair in the mornings, I decided to try mousses. A couple of my friends recommended Alberto styling mousse, and …
Clinique take the day off makeup remover
I have very sensitive eyes. I like to wear eye make up but I find I have the same trouble most people find. Just plain soap and water with a wash cloth will not work to take off my eye makeup. If I do not remove …
Philosophy Hope In A Tube Eye and Lip Firming Eye Cream

The Face Shop nail and cuticle balm
I always had a dry cuticle so I try to bite them or even cut because I hate it. I hate seeing my hand that there is a white thing around my nails and every time I see it, I’ll bite it or get a nipper or nail cutter …
Hype Ardent Gluta- C Intense Whitening Toner Spritz
I got this product when I went to Landmark Grocery in Makati City, Philippines. I was looking for a mild cleanser or a toner to use but I happened to check Hype Ardent Gluta- C. It was not a typical toner that I used to apply because it …
Neutrogena Deep Moisture Hand Cream
Off late, I noticed that my hands had started looking very scaly and dry. The fact that use of harsh detergents combined with the fact that they happen to come constantly in contact with water every now and then, strips them off the essential moisture, thus making them looking …
E.L.F Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara
Prior to me getting into makeup and all that stuff I would just tweeze the extra hairs on my browns and just leave them at that. But then since I started filling them in and defining them I realized that it emphasized the stray hairs a lot more. …
Mineral make-up
I have been a faithful user of liquid foundation, trying nearly every brand, yet unable to find a shade to match my freakishly pale complexion. It was always just too orange or too pink. Always looking fake, like a mask. I hated it, but had accepted …
Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush
The Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush comes in about five different shades at Target. There isn’t as much variety as I see in other blush lines, but I was able to find a pretty shade: “Tawny”. The product itself comes in a very compact circular white case with a clear …
Clearasil face wash
For many years I’ve been using an ordinary soap to my face, and I observed that my skin gets dry and I also experienced having pimples with a black head too. Due to this problem I always asked myself If there’s some thing wrong with my face or with …
Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Makeup Light
I’ve tried several (dozen probably) Almay products over the years, and this one is probably the one that intrigued me the most. I’ve had a hard time finding foundations that are the right color for me, mostly because I have an extremely pale skin tone. And, not only do …
Urban Decay Naked Palette
This is one my favorite palette of all. It has all the shades I need in all possible combination. It is packed with bronzy shades, smoky family that I occasionally need, and the neutral office shades that I wear to work. This palette is my all time darling when …
