Working in the call center industry has been very rewarding in terms of compensation however it also has a downside. Ever since I started working for this industry, I’ve been lacking on sleep. Having to seat in front of the computer for hours has placed so much pressure on …

I was looking for a lovely light foaming vegan hand soap and came across the Lemon and Verbena Hand Wash from 100 Percent Pure and I have to say I really enjoy the way it cleanse my hands naturally without any harsh ingredients. This hand soap is non drying …

As a recipient of freebies and product samples from the office (I’ve amassed aplenty), something very rare that I owned was a cute fold-over box of blushing paper. It must have been ages ago, and I still have it to this day. The Lancome blush papier nacre …

I notice to myself, when it comes to lotions I am very much particular about the scents and I am always looking for those whitening ones. Of course this is not bad and I think it is a very natural thing for a woman to look for lotions that …

I love Illamasqua Sheer Lip Gloss. I was happy to receive a gift basked full of cosmetics for my birthday, and when I looked inside, I saw two tubes of Illamasqua Sheer Lip Gloss. I had never heard of this brand before, and I was skeptical to …

Elizabeth Arden created an amazing oil that can be used not only for face and skin but also for hair. The Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil did gain my respect as it moisturizes my dry skin and it is very light and absorbs quickly. Although the perfumes designed by …

I love pigmented lips, so I am always on the lookout for a lipgloss that is actually pigmented and gives color to my lips instead of being really sheer. I bought the VOV Candy Lipgloss in China when I was there for vacation a few summers ago, but I …

I grew up with Clinique and Lancome samples around the house, so I am used to having the more moderately expensive cosmetics around rather than the drugstore brands. With the plethora of makeup products on the market today, I thought I would give the cheaper version a try. I …

I love Clinique. It was the first makeup and skin care system my mother got me.
I love their cleansing system and I trust it. I have great skin, partly because of genes but partly because of this system. Never any breakouts when I use it properly and smooth …

This is a pretty basic lip moisturizer which claims to have extra moisturizing properties but I’m not sure whether or not they do. When my lips are very chapped or dry this doesn’t hydrate enough. The formula is very thin and even when I apply what seems to be …

I have been using Boots No7 loose powder for about a year now and i have been very happy with the results this gives.
This is quite a fine powder which is important as some powders that are not good quality and are grainy can settle into lines and make …

This concealer kit is less than $10 and I ended up ordering it online in order to qualify for a free shipping discount. I normally do not try to wear a lot of makeup, but I find that concealer is a must have for me in order to …

I have been using Pantene as my primary shampoo for as long as I can remember. I am happy with it as it cleans my hair well and delivers the results I want. But, there are times when I want to use something different for a change. My …

I have always loved The Healing Garden line of products and was looking for a new scent, when I found their sensual therapy Passion Orchid seductive body mist, on sale for half price at my local drug store. I have always loved Orchid’s as they are rare, delicate but …

I have always loved Victoria’s Secret fragrances whenever I happened to be in the store. I used to go browsing through all the shelves of beauty products and trying them all, but I finally got my chance to buy some when the semi-annual sale came around. The first year …

My mum bought this for me and I have to say it works really well. There are so many lip balms out there at the shops but half of them are utterly useless. Some have nice colours but don’t moisturise your lips and others dry out 10 minutes after …

I only tried the Skin so Soft Silky Stay Shave Gel because it was part of a package deal offered by Avon to get the other Skin so Soft products I wanted. I had never used the shave gel before from Avon before and had only ever …

I’ve been using Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara in Black for over four years, and I haven’t been tempted to buy another brand of mascara in all that time! As a former makeup artist, I like to stay on top of trends in the cosmetic industry, and I’ve tested several …

A dark underarm is a total turnoff especially when I had it during the times when I needed to go sleeveless. I always hesitated raising it up because its a total disgrace as well as a distortion when everything else is fixed and perfect. I really find it hard …

Crabtree and Evelyn has an on-going sale and not one to let a good sale go by, I passed by the Crabtree and Evelyn boutique to check out their goods. I have long been a fan of this brand so I know that their products are a bit …

After buying ELF’s Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Warm Tan, I was addicted, and wanted to try out the luminizer in the same line. It was less of a bronzer than a luminizer, but it did have a bit more color than a normal luminizer, so it didn’t make …

This is quite funny because I meant to buy the foaming version, but ended up buying the cream one instead by mistake! So my first bit of advice is be aware, the two products are almost identical in their pink tubes! After finding out I had bought the wrong …

Burt’s Bees Complexion Mist, Cucumber Chamomile for Dry or Sensitive Skin is an all-natural, spray-on moisturizer that comes in a 4 oz silvery bottle with a pump top. There is a protective ring around the sprayer that keeps it from spraying accidentally.
The product is very lightweight, it does not …

I went to Marie France to get some body wraps. Afterwards, they recommended me to purchase their hydrating lotion to moisturize my skin after the wrap. As the wrap smelled strongly of alcohol and made my skin dry afterwards, I decided it was a good idea to …

I have pretty oily skin around my tzone and i wanted something to fix it. I was at my local drug store and i decided to give it a try. It looked different from the products ive used in the past, that is actually why i got it. I …

In many years, I was a devoted follower of Lancome’s compact pressed powders. Lancome’s Maquicreme Infinite was among a few of the foundations I’ve used from their makeup line. Perhaps, I haven’t found anything that can match lancome maquicreme’s rich creamy texture as a creme foundation. …

I recently made a big order, well bigger than my first, with E.L.F cosmetics and got several of their products that I didn’t get the first time around. I got everything off of eyesfacelips.com. Among the E.L.F products that I bought were three of their Brightening eye shadow quad …

Unfortunately, the best body moisturizer that I have ever found for when my skin is so dry that it is itchy smells terrible. I wish the body lotions that smell great would work as well as Gold Bond Medicated Body Lotion, but they just don’t. I am not talking …

One bath soap I used for the first time very recently was the “Ada Antibacterial Cocoa Butter Soap”. I’d actually never even heard of it before that, but since I had gotten it along with some other things from someone, I decided to try it.
A part of me …

When my kids were just toddlers and I had to give them baths in the sink or in the bathtub full of only three inches of water, I always used the Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo because that’s what my mom used on me when I was an infant, …

This is another lipstick that I received as a bonus when Bloomingdale’s was giving a gift with purchase. The lipstick shade they started to give away was called Backstage Beauty, but apparently they ran out of that one, so they substituted it with Designer Bloom. That’s the shade I …

Like many women, I have spent a lot of time and money searching for a perfect foundation. Over the years, I feel like I have tried them all. What I was looking for was something that would offer medium coverage, last all day, feel and look good …

Giorgio Armani is an excellent company when it comes to quality of clothing, I am a huge fan of Armani, but sadly I’ve never tried their make up line! To be honest, I wasn’t even aware that Giorgio Armani had a make up line, so as soon as I …

As I mentioned in a previous review I am not necessarily a tinted moisturizer type of person. I got this product in a gift basket and though I have tried Urban Decay products before and had relatively good results, I was not impressed with this product. While it did …

I started using this as an alternative to moisturizing lotions. My main problem is oily skin. I have this soft, firm skin however, oil starts to surface after I apply my daily moisturizer. In most cases when a moisturizer claims its not oil-based, some are just advertising coax, however …

This sunblock is a bit on the expensive side, although most sunblocks are a bit expensive considering how much you get. I only buy this one because I got a bottle of it as a free sample once, and I really liked it, so we get this now.
It …

OPI is one of the best and more expensive nail polish brands around. I like the quality of their nail polish because it goes on very smoothly, which makes it easy for me to put it on. Despite the fact that I am not really that good …

The Blistex Lip Infusion is a blend between a chapstick and a lipgloss. It is a roll-on package, and contains 4 mL of oil. It is a generous package, because my last tube lasted me about 2 years.
The flavors come in normal, and Cherry Splash. I prefer the Cherry …

I love Mac products, and seeng as I have very fair skin, it’s rarely that I get to use any productt that doesn’t look good on my face. So far, this was the worst shade I had applied and used the colour doesn’t really suit my skin. The shade …

In shops and magazines, even sometimes on the TV —“ I saw this lipstick everywhere. That’s why I decided to try it out. I got it and even though it cost me a bit too much (I am not rich, maybe for someone it will seem cheap), I still …

I sampled this recently at a department store. People seem to rave about Vera Wang perfumes like they’re the ultimate in glamour. I don’t know, I just don’t get it. Okay, first off I hate the heart shaped bottle of the Princess line, and this one in particular with …

It is a bit vain to think that men needs whitening face products. You can only find these stuffs in Asia where men are dark skinned. Perhaps some would say that a mere moisturizer is enough whatever brand it is to nourish the skin and supply it with moisturizing effects …

I received a lot of stocking stuffers for Christmas that included skin and hair products, and as usual, I fell in love with some of them. I had dropped some hints that I needed an exfoliant to help get rid of all my dry, flaky skin, and I ended …

I thought that tweezing the eyebrow was a job for the professionals. I was a steady client for threading in my favorite salon, but I dreaded that monthly visit because no matter how many times I have my eyebrows done, it still hurts. I know I’m just being a …

L’oreal is known for having some of the best mascaras out there, and they are also known for having the worst. This my dear, has to be the second worst mascara I have purchased from L’oreal’s line of mascara. In a way I’m upset with myself, because I didn’t …

I bought Fallene Total Block UVA/UVB Complete Full Spectrum Sun Protection for around $10 from a store a few months back. I tried various kinds of sunscreens from sprays to lotions, and I think this is one of the bests I used. It weighed around 2 oz and it …
