Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense lipstick
A staple product that every girl should definitely have in her makeup bag is a good red lipstick. It works with a variety of looks. I have tried various brands over the years and have not really had a clear favorite in the red lipstick category. A lot of …
Smashbox Single Eye Shadow Zoom
Do you know what would compel an Asian woman with dark eyes to purchase green eyeshadow? Honestly, I don’t remember. Maybe it was the saleslady at the cosmetic counter who cajoled me with her obligatory complements. Or maybe it was my kind but unreliable friends who …
Claudia Stevens Sun Defense Protective Facial Cream
In the summer time it is worth the small effort that it takes to start using a facial cream that will protect your skin from the sun. I have tried several and this is one of my favorites. I recommend it to everyone out there. It is amazing how …
Nutrisse Nourishing Color Foam Hair Dye
Why is it that so many women are not happy with their hair and their hair color? Over the years I have dyed my hair numerous times and have really never been happy with the outcome. It always comes out to dark, dry, brittle, or just plain ugly. Of …
Irish Spring Micro Clean
I am a long-time Irish Spring user. So, when I saw their Micro Clean variety, I couldn’t wait to try it out.
I was very disappointed. Normally, Irish Spring allows me to come out of the shower feeling clean and refreshed. This particular brand did not.
I think the reason for …
Avon Foot Works Lavender Clay Mask
If you have extremely dry feet then you need to buy the Avon Foot Works Lavender Clay Mask! I have always had extremely dry feet and I have tried everything, and I mean everything, from lotions to scrubs to moisturizers to special soap for them and I could never …
Amazing Base by Jane Iredale
Amazing Base Mineral Make-up by Jane Iredale, WOW! What a fantasic product. It really is amazing!!! I’ve always suffered from sensitive and spot prone skin. One day I just had enough and decided to visit a Dermatologist about my skin condition as it began to get me down. With …
Loreal Hip Studio Secrets Concentrated Eye Shadow
This is probably one of the most pigmented eye shadow I own aside from my favorite MAC ones. I was browsing Loreal’s counter in our local departmental store and I could not get my eyes off the HIP eye shadows. They are so beautiful sitting in its pan and I …
Clarins Wonder Volume Mascara
Clarins’ mascaras are always loads of fun and filled with excitement, at least for me. So when I saw this new release at Sephora, obviously, I had to pick it up. I believe this was $24, which I thought was too steep for a tube of mascara, but come …
Pond’s White Beauty Detox Spotless White Cream
My mom came home one day with this Pond’s face cream. It is in a no-mess sachet which was often advertised in the television. It’s for easier and neater way to use the face cream. I like this no-mess sachet. It’s really not messy to use and it has …
Wella Herbal Creambath
I know Wella product so long already. And I normally asked my hairdresser to give me Wella products when I got hair treatment in the beauty salon.
The last product that I like from Wella is the creambath product. They called it Wella Herbal Creambath. I never buy the product …
Hask Pure Shine Spray on Luminator
I was blessed (or cursed?) with naturally curly hair. Unfortunately, this hair type also tends to be naturally dry and frizzy, and look very dull and lifeless. I often need a little extra help to give my hair the boost it needs to look healthy, full of life and …
Conair Facial Sauna
I’ve seen it on my sister’s bathroom and I thought I’d take a chance and buy one for myself. She said that it was the best one available for its price. It has a built in timer, so I don’t have to keep on guessing or looking at my …
Philips Sonicare Advance 4000 Series
Over the past couple of years, our society has placed an increasingly enormous amount of emphasis on clean, dazzling white and perfect teeth! As a result, to no surprise of mine, on Christmas morning 2006 one of my newly opened gifts was a Philips Sonicare Advance 4000 Series electric …
Burt’s Bees Natural Lip Balm in Natural Grapefruit
I am a big fan of Burt’s Bees products for a two main reasons: they work well and are natural. I actually saw this product in a Wal-Mart checkout aisle several days back and I picked it up as I decided to try it. I paid about two …
Simple Exfoliating Facial Wipes
I did not actually like using these exfoliating facial wipes from the Simple range, although I must say that they do work very well and they have left my skin very soft indeed. They are just not nice to use. I would not buy this product again as …
Clairol Nice-n-Easy Perfect 10 color (brown hair)
I am a big fan of Clairol hair color and by far the best at-home hair coloring kit I’ve ever come across is their Perfect 10 Nice-N-Easy kit (formulated for brown hair). As I head into my forties, those greys are really starting to crop up, so after …
Whipped Silk skin softening lotion
I remember when this product first came out on the market; it was highly publicized, commercials were all over tv for it, I could not open any magazine without seeing at least one advertisement for it - “made with real silk proteins to make your skin softer than …
L’Oreal Vive Pro Glossy Volume Body Boosting Shampoo Fine Hair
I’m quickly becoming a huge fan of L’Oreal products. A few years ago I really wouldn’t have given their products much thought at all, because they used to be more pricey. I would either say they were a high-end supermarket product, or a low-end department store product, but either …
Streex hair color
I bought the streex hair colour, which is very good in quality and it is a new product launched in the market. I like all the shades in this brand. I tried 2 colours and even highlights on my hair. After applying it my hair got …
Barry M Glitter eye crayon
Barry M has this obsession with crayons. But because they make everything in a crayon form, they have really perfected the art I will admit. I have bought quite a few products from them, some that I love, and some that I will never use. They are a bit …
Blistex Complete Moisture lip balm
This is my favorite lip balm to use. It has a pleasant taste and smell, it’s never sticky, and the moisture lasts a good long time. I always make sure I have some of this stuff with me.
I can’t even remember how long I’ve been using this lip balm, …
Mario Badescu Chamomile Eye Cream
What grownup has not experienced the pains of staying up late and starting the next day early? Puffy eyes as well as dark circles around my eyes hounded me through school. Now that I am working, they have become a bigger problem. There are nights I work late, followed …
Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick
A few months ago I went through a pink lipstick obsession. I fell in love with this Yves Saint Laurent lipstick in the most gorgeous shade of pink, but didn’t want to spend close to $30 on a tube of lipstick, so I went looking around at every drugstore, …
Mary Kay’s Oil Control Lotion
I have been using Mary Kay’s Oil Control Lotion since 1995 at the age of fifteen. It has done wonders for my skin! All of my life I have had to endure the agony of having overly oily skin. Since I have been using …
Alpecin, C1 Caffeine Shampoo
Ok. Fine. I admit it.
There’s a bit less hair on the crown of my head than there used to be.
Happy?
I’d seen the adverts on the T.V. I’d heard the rumours. I’d spoken to friends who have lost pretty much all of their hair. They said things like, “NONE of …
Hennalucent Hair Toner and Conditioner
Hennalucent Hair Toner And Conditioner is such a cool product! If you love having soft, shiny hair with plenty of bounce and vigor, you have to try Hennalucent Hair Toner And Conditioner. This product is all natural, which I love, and will not harm your hair in any way. …
Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
Too much to be called Rudolf the red nose, but certainly if there’s one hot spot on my face that’s in dire need of de-clogging then it’s got to be my pock-marked nose. My nose forms the bulk of all the stubborn black heads particularly at the tip …
Wahl 3 in1 Personal Trimmer
I mainly purchased this eleven dollar trimmer for my nose and ears, although it does come with attachments that are designed for other areas of the body, like the neck and eyebrows. The first problem that I encountered with this trimmer was the cover that goes over the batteries …
CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Champagne
One of the eyeshadows I like to use is CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Eye Shadow in the shade Champagne. I love the light pinkish shade it has and it’s soft powder feel. I also like the way it shimmers and makes my eyes pop and feel bright.
The …
Hawaii Coconut Body Lotion by Bath and Body Works
On my last visit to Bath and Body Works I was lucky enough to get a variety of their wonderful items on sale. This body lotion was one of them , and I am so glad that I gave it a try. The smell is amazing and different. Not …
Neutrogena body oil light sesame formula
With the winter months on their way, my elbows tend to get dry and chapped. At times this can be a little painful, but year after year I learned to deal with it the best way I knew how, because I could not find a product satisfactory enough …
Avon Hand Soap Cucumber and Melon
This Hand Soap has only been out for a couple of Avon Campaigns. I usually buy the Senses Liquid Soap and although this one is a smaller bottle and more expensive I felt like a change. After I liked the Roll on of the same scent this was worth …
Clinique Turnaround Concentrate
My mother is a Clinique fanatic and she is always urging me to try some of their products. About a week ago, she received this product as part of a special that a local department store was running. Since my mother already owns way too many products …

I tried another John Frieda hair product a few years ago and just loved loved LOVED it, and so when I saw the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Full Splendor Shampoo, I knew I wanted to try it. Volume is one promise I count on every shampoo product living up …
Burt’s Bees Razberry and Brazil Nut Moisture Shampoo
If anyone has read my previous reviews then it should be obvious that I love hair care products and use as many of them as I can(thus the numerous reviews that I will be submitting regarding hair products). Anyway not long after trying another Burt’s Bees shampoo I discovered …
QV Nails nail shop
I had to find a new place to get my nails done recently since the nail shop I had been going to for the last 5 years closed permanently. I remembered a shop I often drive by on my way to the grocery store and decided to give them …
Chanel Seashell Lip Gloss
Regardless of the fact that I have worked in the cosmetic industry for more than three years now, lip gloss is lip gloss to me. It really never mattered if it was five dollars or forty dollars, CoverGirl or Dior. However, recently I was at Macy’s and became intrigued …
Frederic Fekkai Technician Color Care 3 Minute Mask
I bought this Frederick Fekkai Technician Color Care 3 Minute Mask last year during the Christmas sale and it came with the shampoo and conditioner. This hair mask is of very creamy pink texture and it smells like heaven! Even though it says to let it …
Sally Hensen Wax Strip Kit
Sally hensen do it yourself wax strip kit great for face and eyebrows, not so great for anywhere else.
I have been using this stuff for several years and still love it. It costs about 7 dollars USD and you can pick it up literally in any …
Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara
The idea of a vibrating mascara wand really frightens me. Putting any moving device near my eye creates the potential for accidentally poking myself. I am already very cautious about poking myself with normal mascara as it is. Add in the vibrating factor and things get a bit difficult. …
Neutrogena Comforting Butter Hand Cream
Usually the only kind of Neutrogena products are use are these kinds of bath and body products like lotions and shampoos and things like that. I think I’ve maybe only used about two or three of their products for face like facial washes and such, but I really have …

Avon Naturals Violet and Lychee Shower Gel
This is one of those avon products that I got from my sister. She ordered a bottle for every girl in the family, it is her favorite so she decided to pass it on. It comes in 250ml bottle which is a decent size I think. It is about …
Nivea Deodorant Extra Whitening
I have tried using Nivea Deodorant Extra Whitening for a few weeks and I was totally disappointed with this product. I was convinced to try this product because of the ads and commercials that I was seeing about it and considering that Nivea is already a trusted brand …
NYX Round Lipstick (Circe)
I have been hearing a lot of raves about the NYX makeup line. It was a cheap cosmetics line, but I heard that their lipsticks were great. I indulged in buying their lipsticks online. What sucks is that I could not test it until they arrived, so I just …
Almay Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover Pads
I ran into this tub of eye makeup remover pads at the drugstore. It’s funny that I usually feel obliged to purchase products like this only when I’m killing time in an airport somewhere, like most of the cleansing wipes I’ve had then. I did find makeup …
L’Oreal Paris Elseve Arginine Resist X3 Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo
I have always had problems with hair loss and I am always on the hunt for the best treatment for my thin hair. L’Oreal created a new collection of products designed to fight hair loss and it did draw my attention as it mixes a variety of ingredients which are …
