Bare Minerals Foundation
I love Bare Minerals! I love using it and telling others about this wonderful product. It’s very easy to use. In fact, my 14 year old daughter even finds it easy. You know how hard it is to impress a teenager these days!
I first got my foundation in a …
Collection 2000 Nail Polish in French White
When my daughter decided she wanted her nails painted red, white and blue for her Diamond Jubilee celebrations at school I knew I’d have to buy a white nail polish as that’s one colour I don’t have in my make-up box. I actually had a bit of a struggle …
N-Spa Lemon Souffle Shower Gel
Continuing on with the N Spa reviews I am reviewing this one. This is not my favourite scent but not my least favourite. It’s nice as it is a refreshing kind of scent, and that bit different, but not the kind of scent that I would usually go for.
Normally …
Mr. Pumice Extra-Coarse Pumi Bar
I used to joke with a friend of mine, because I found it so excessive that she would go and pay $20 every two weeks to get a pedicure done. She worked on her feet all day as a door-to-door sales person for a big cable provider, and no …
L’Occitane Eau Des Baux Stick Deodorant
Commercial deodorant are too synthetic for me. If you go with some brands particularly those which are prominent, it is too expensive sometimes.
The main reason why I tried this is because of the amazing smell. It smells green because of cypress and it has incense giving it this masculine …
Burt’s Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Shea Butter Body Bar

Maybelline ExpertWear Defining Liner
I’m afraid this purchase was a mistake. What I liked about this eyeliner when I saw it was that it had not only a built-in sharpener but also a smudger - a round, sponge-like top that you use to correct smudging. I also liked that the eyeliner was available …
Chanel Glossimer in Brilliance lip gloss
Chanel Glossimer in Brilliance is one of those lip gloss colors that people tend to either love or hate. In my house, the relationship is a love one. I originally discovered Chanel Glossimer in Brilliance when my daughter had her makeup done at the Chanel counter in …
Wild Growth Hair Oil
Even though I try to keep an open mind when I am trying out new products, I will definitely describe myself as a skeptic. I always remind myself to take statements that particular products make about weight loss or hair growth with a grain of salt. I …

The Product
Just Blushed shade is a baby pink color with a tiny hint of sparkles when you look closely at the tube.

Dep Sport Styling Gel

Essence Colour and Go nail polish
Essence cosmetics claims to be Europe’s most popular brand of makeup, and back in winter of 2009 they debuted their line in the United States for the first time, at ULTA stores across the country. I had never heard of this brand prior to coming across it in an …
Decleor Neroli Essential Night Balm
I remember the time when I started using night cream. I learned the importance of it when my sister told me that I should start using night creams. She mentioned that relevance by stressing that, the regeneration of our skin slows down, so its better if I start early …
Nexxus Exxtra Gel
I used to be against using gel products in my hair, mostly because they would leave my hair feeling sticky, flaky, dirty, dry, and brittle. I will admit that I have found some products that do provide a reasonable amount of hold on my hair, but most of …
Neutrogena Wave facial Cleanser
Having very oily facial skin, I bought this Neutrogena Wave facial Cleanser kit after some research. I was excited to try it out so I did as soon as i was able to. It came with a sample supply of the pads. I found it to be a very …
Avalon Organics Clarifying Shampoo Lemon
I have really oily hair, always have since I was a little girl. And thin oily hair doesn’t really make for a great look seven hours into my work day, so I’m always on the hunt for a shampoo that will do the trick, keep my hair clean but …
Rimmel Scandaleyes Show Off Mascara in Black
I like to try out lots of different mascaras as I have reasonably decent eyelashes anyway so am never particularly drawn in by promises of lengthening or volume for day to day wear. I purchased Rimmel’s Scandaleyes Show Off Mascara after hearing good reports about it, and also …
Jordana Just Clear Lip Gloss
I bought this lipgloss because I needed a clear lipgloss to apply on top of my lipsticks when going out, except I didn’t want to purchase something that would be too expensive and would finish quick. So I decided to go for a cheap beauty supply store brand, but …
Olay White Radiance UV Whitening Lotion
I love using Olay products in my face. I tried olay soap and felt good results with my skin. I was in search for a good whitening lotion because I noticed that due to too much exposure to sun, my face has darkened over the past few years and …
Eucerin Dermo Purifyer Scrub - Oil Free
In my quest to try and refine my recently acquired enlarged pores I had been frantically buying anything that promised to unclog pores or refine them. The Eucerin Dermo Purifyer Scrub is one of the purchases I made with high hopes.
When I got this product the Dermo Purifyer …
Maybelline Expert Wear Blush Sweet Cinnamon
When I was a little girl heading to the corner store for makeup, it always seemed that CoverGirl and Maybelline products were the stable at any drug store or corner store. Even to this day I associate these two brands of makeup with a drugstore like Rite Aid or …
Covergirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Liquid Makeup
I was interested in this product after watching Queen Latifah in America’s Next Top Model. I was interested in this collection because it says it has every color for every woman. I hesitate to try other brands because I easily develop infection or allergies in my skin. I was …
The Body Shop Dewberry Shower Gel and Lotion
Obviously, I didn’t buy this, I don’t like The Body Shop stuff at all. Everything smells nice, but never seems to do what it is supposed to do, or what the sales associates tell me it will do. I got this as a gift from a co worker, one …
Opi brush-on cuticle oil
My friend who lives in what I like to think of as the cosmetics mecca of the world, tends to mail me samples from various cosmetics counters she visits in department stores. Stores we simply don’t have in our little neck of the woods, and Sephora is one of …
Juice Beauty Green Apple Moisturizer
When it comes to makeup and beauty products, it usually takes me a while to find the ones that I really like. Also, I’m a little skeptical about them working as well as they say they will. I like to use organic and products because they don’t contain any …
Clinique Instant Pore Perfecter
Clinique’s Instant Pore Perfecter comes in a small tube and the formula is slightly tinted but seems to blend in and disappear into the skin so it did not leave any color on my skin. It is pricey but does what it sets out to do really well. Upon …
L’Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Souffle
Pros:
1. Not obviously visible when applied, unlike other foundations that people will be able to tell you’re wearing foundation.
2. Nice coverage, smooth on skin, lightweight you wouldn’t feel heavy on the face unlike other foundation, evenly spreads, and gives your face that radiant glow.
3. Fair price for a good …
Clinique’s Almost Lipstick
Clinique’s Almost Lipstick is a stain, not a lipstick, which means that it will not fully cover up the natural color of your lips but only add a gentle touch of a different tint to it. The available shades are Honey Black, which seems to be the most popular, …
Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream
I recently purchased the Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream from Sephora. I use an eye cream every night before bed, but I was looking for something that I could use in the mornings prior to putting on my concealer so that my eyes would look more awake in …
Olay Body Total Effects shower cream plus body butter
The Product
I have this on pink, purple, and green stripes colors. Each color represents the intensity of moisture, and I believe that purple has the most moisture among the three since that it supposed to be ultra nourishing according to its label.
The container is almost oval in shape …

Constance Carroll Diamond Gloss Nail Polish

Get Nailed Nail Bar
I rarely get manicures, because I am basically too cheap to want to spend money on my nails or toenails. On a recent visit to Whistler, BC, I received a coupon for a clever-sounding nail salon called Get Nailed Nail Bar, right in the main area of the city. …
L’Oreal Indestructible Hair Gel
I seldom use hair gel when I had shorter hair but when I have it longer, I don’t. I have tried using local products but I bought this brand from L’Oreal because I was trying out the “For Men” skin care line of L’Oreal.
This hair gel is …
