China Glaze Preppy Pink Nail Polish
I love this nail polish! I swear China Glaze’s nail polishes by far are the absolute best!! Especially the colors that come in shimmers! So I bought like 5 new nail polishes by China Glaze this past week because I am in absolute love with all of their colors …
Avon Solutions Hydra-Radiance Intensive nutrient Night Serum
Avon products, in my opinion, are rather good. I don’t buy a lot of stuff from Avon because I also buy from some other brands so I can’t spend everything and I don’t like buying to much stuff because I know that I won’t throw it away so I …
Avon PT White cleanser, moisturiser, toner, face mask
I have recently purchased Avon Kit through an Avon dealer introduced by my friend. The kit comprises of PT White double action whitening cleanser, toner, moisturiser and whitening facial mask. I paid around 50 us$ for the set. I got it in an offer. Avon gives discount on certain …
Yves Rocher Bio-Camille Eye Make-Up Remover Gel
I do adore this eye makeup remover. The pretty cute tiny green package contains a very soft green gel that has almost no scent, which is good because it reduces the risks of eye irritation. What I also appreciate about it is that if you are as much lazy …
Loreal Lash Booting Serum
I happen to be one of those unlucky individuals to have straight thin non existent lashes. My lashes are pretty long and each of them on their own are pretty fat too, but there are just too little of them and they are sparsely populated, hence appearing like they …
Living Proof Full Hair Set
I am obsessed with playing with my hair. I am always buying the newest, most popular hair treatment or styling tool. I spend a lot of time researching what will make my hair look the longest and prettiest that it can possibly look. Recently, a friend of mine suggested …
Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
I know just about everybody has seen the Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara commercials a million times just as I have but I have to say I wasn’t a believer in the product until I actually tries it. I’ve seen so many mascara commercials it’s hard to know which …
La Roche-Posay Physiological Ultra-Fine Scrub
During the winter, I usually stop using facial scrubs to cleanse and exfoliate my face, because they tend to be too harsh and drying to my skin. I was tired of either having the deep cleaning but drying effect of facial scrubs, or moisturized but not deeply cleansed skin …
J’Adore Beautifying Body Milk by Christian Dior
I love scents on whatever beauty product or cosmetics I use. I also love trying new body creams, lotions and milk. One of the products I have been using now since a month is Christian Dior’s J’adore beautifying body milk. I love the J’adore perfume and there was no …
ANEW ULTIMATE Contouring Eye System
It has seemed, over the years, that I just can’t catch a break. If I’m not dealing with acne in my youth, and occassional blemishes in my adulthood, then it’s also these awful dark circles under my eyes that make me, with my pale skin, look like a vampire, …
Sally Hansen Nail Polish Remover
I have been using a cheap generic nail polish remover, which worked quite well for me, but I have recently decided to try the Sally Hansen’s version, intrigued by its promise to be “20% stronger, up to 50% faster.” The remover comes in an 8 fl.oz. plastic bottle with …
Fantastic Sam’s Salon in Kansas City
Hubby recently decided to get his hair cut done but he doesn’t like to go to the mall so we went over to the Fantastic Salon close to where we live because he wants a low cost haircut. I went too and while the girl is doing …
Bobbi Brown Glitter Lip Gloss
This Bobbi Brown Glitter Lip Gloss was included in a limited-edition lip and cheek palette that Bobbi released last holiday season (I believe). I think the shade that is in the palette was an exclusive, limited-edition shade (called Golden Topaz). I don’t see it on Bobbi’s website among all …
Purederm Deep Cleansing Nose Strips
Blackheads in my nose have always worried me especially when I deal with people and I have to get close. I can’t help but feel conscious. I have tried a lot of pore cleansing strips from manufacturers all over the world but none of them seemed to work for …
Sebamed Lotion
I commute between Brussels and Luxembourg at the moment and when I arrived last Thursday, I discovered that I don’t have much of the Lipikar Lait lotion which I left at home. My daughter and I are sharing this bottle of lotion. Since I had to go to the …
Strawberry Body Butter The Body Shop
I had never taken a single minute to think of using body shop’s products before. But, one day, my cousin gave me some of their products, and insist me to try it.
I didn’t have any expectation of the body butter before trying it. I thought it would be just …
Schwarzkopf BC Moisture Spray Conditioner
I have tried many leave in conditioner and Schwarzkopf BC Moisture Spray Conditioner tops my list. It works perfectly and the fragrance is pleasant and not too strong. It doesn’t irritate my scalp and doesn’t make my hair oily if there’s no direct application to the scalp.
I spray …
Botanicals 2 in 1 Firming Moisturizer (body) by Yves Rocher
As someone who only stumbled upon french beauty company Yves Rocher less than a year ago, I have done pretty well so far in trying most of their products. It was a friend that initially introduced me to their wonderful products and since then I have become hooked. …
Biore Facial-Fit Expert, W-UV Luminous Bright Facial Foam
I finished my usual facial cleanser and went to the drugstore near my place to get the same. I was very disappointed to find that it was out of stock. They told me they would be replenishing stock in three days. This was the only drugstore …
Nivea Face Creme
Winter is here to stay. So does dry skin. During these times of year, skin on my face breaks up and I need to either conceal or heal it. Nivea Face Creme has been my choice ever since. Nivea moisturizes my skin, helps heal the irritation, and prevents further …
Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Remover for Face
I purchased the Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Remover for Face a while back and am really impressed at the ease of using this product. The product comes with a tube of the facial hair remover, along with a moisturizer to use following the treatment.
It takes around …
Macadamia Oil Shampoo (Organix)
Macadamia Oil Shampoo from Organix is an excellent shampoo for almost any type of hair, as I believe. However, it’s best suitable for dry hair!
My hair used to be dry all the time, and I have literally tried more than 100 different types of shampoos, but nothing helped me …
L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee in Medium-Deep
I am naturally a pale person, but growing up the daughter of a doctor, laying out is not something I like to do for fear of skin cancer. However I like a nice, healthy looking glow and feel that I look better with a tan. Going to the tanning …
Philosophy You Are My Sunshine Lemonade Shower and Bath Gelee
While Philosophy’s packaging may sound like a drooling dreamy New Age manifesto, it’s often the cult choice for gifts by many of my colleagues and friends. I got my headstart with Philosophy’s buffing wash a long time ago; I also like Hope in a Jar which comes in …
Burt’s Bees Citrus Facial Scrub
Burt’s Bees Citrus Facial Scrub cost only $2 when I bought i at a health store. Back then I did not have any severe acne nor blackheads, and I did not have any problem which needed serious treatment. It is made by Burt’s Bees and is available in jar …
Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Smoothing Cream
My hair, if not treated properly, can be quite unruly and frizzy. Garnier’s Anti-Frizz cream didn’t really relieve this problem. I noticed a slight improvement in shininess, but it really did nothing for my frizz issue. On the plus side, this product smells fabulous! And it comes in a …
Sparkle Shadow Dust by BonBon
I own a trio of Bon Bons Sparkle Shadow Dust #336, in violet, pink, and white. This pretty product comes in an acryllic container. The top has a separate lid, but the two additional colors are not as the bottom of the previous color is the cover for the …
Josie Maran Sun Protection Argan Oil SPF 40
I remember when I was young and we were at the beach that my mom instructed us to dab oil in our body before we take a dip in the water. Oil before has been used as a homemade sun protection. I happened to check on the brand Josie …
iWhite Whitening Cream
Some of my biggest problem in my skin face are the whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. Though pimples come and go but when it comes to the blackheads and whiteheads they just stay for good unless you find the courage to pinch those skin and pop it out. Yeah even …
Cettua Silky and Clear Nose Strip with Witch Hazel
Ever since I first used the Biore Nose Strip I have gotten into the habit of using it regularly at least once a week. I have a feeling that using the nose strip actually promotes more white heads. The moment the nose strip is pulled off it feels …
Likas Papaya Herbal Soap
I am a Filipina with a brown skin tone. I really wanted to have a fairer and whiter skin. This is a very common thing here in the Philippines, almost everybody wanted to be whiter. I, for one, haven’t met someone that would go out in the beach without …
Mario Badescu Skin Care Special Healing Powder
Mario Badescu is a known skin care product brand that is more famous for its Pink Powder. It is bontanically-based product. I decided to try Mario Badescu Skin Care Special Healing Powder because it promised quite a few benefits which I think is good for me.
I have an oily, acne-prone …
Neutrogena’s T-Gel Shampoo
When it comes to shampoo I have used at least five products before finally settling on Neutrogena’s T-Gel original shampoo. It is a pale green colored, thicker than usual shampoo. It looked sort of a medicated product. But it is readily
available in Wal-Mart or any other Pharmacies and I …
Sunsilk Moisture Therapy Shampoo & Conditioner
I first tried Sunsilk Mosisture therapy for purely economical reasons. I was in school, and on a budget. My hair is pretty dry and my styling habits haven’t exactly helped. I can’t get away with not using conditioner so I purchased Sunsilk. Sunsilk is an Indonesian brand widely available across …
Evax normal with wings sanitary towels
My skin becomes irritated with cheap non-brand sanitary towels, so I always tend to buy the more expensive ones but better for the skin. Evax normal with wings is one of the kinds of sanitary towels I have used so far.
Evax produces many different kinds of sanitary towels, but …
Garnier Fructis Cream Conditioner
I have extremely kinky, curly and frizzy hair. For a very long time I have been looking for a way to eliminate some of the frizz. I believed if I could eliminate some of the frizz that my hair would not be so wild and it would …
Coloressence Pan Stick Foundation
To be very frank, I do not like wearing makeup very much, as I have dry skin problem. I have used liquid foundation and compact foundation before but never try stick foundation. The problem I use to face with liquid foundation is to blend it properly and to match …
Nude Skincare Cleansing Facial Oil
I recently purchased the Nude Skincare Cleansing Facial Oil. It is basically just a product to clean the face but also to remove eye makeup. I decided to spend money on this product because a lot of the cleansers I have used in the past have been very harsh …

I am a huge fan of the Nails Inc range of nail polishes so was pretty excited when I noticed a new shade which had been added to their collection - as I always am when I spot new colours from this fabulous company. Kensington Park Road is …
Impulse London (City Collection) Body Spray
Impulse is my favourite body spray as their scents are never cheap smelling like some body sprays and it generally last a long time. Impulse is a classic product and just perfect for making me feel extra confident as it is rather like a cross between a perfume …
NYC Ultra Last Long Lasting Lipstick in Plum Rum
I have been getting bored with my many neutral lipsticks so I thought I would go for this deep reddish shade from the NYC Ultra Last long lasting lipstick range, especially as it was only £1.99 from Tesco. This is an incredibly cheap price for a lipstick and …
Loreal Ammonia Free Hair Color
I color my own hair about 4 or 5 times a year and the other times I go into a hair salon. The main issue I have with hair color, especially the brands that are available at drug stores as well as at grocery stores, is the horrible and …
Frizz Ease Heat Defeat Protecting Styling Spray
I bought this because I use my blow dryer and flat iron a lot and anything that I can do to lessen the damage done to my hair from all that heat, then I will definitely do that. I also had a coupon for $2.00 off, and it just …
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 …
Nourishing Essentials Mango Peach Body Wash
In my house, we mainly use body wash. I hate bar soap and will never ever use it more than one time, before I want to throw it away. I’m always trying different body washes so I can see what they have to offer. I love trying different scents, …
Old Spice Odor Blocker Body Wash in Deo Fresh
I always loved smelling this on my brother. It has that kind of fresh cucumber-musk accord, every time I smell it on him. The smell just wafts out of the shower room, tickling my penchant for fragrances. Old Spice Odor Blocker is a macho body wash, …
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Cleansing Cloths
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Cleansing Cloths was worth $19 when I bought it from a local store. The seller gave me a discount and so instead of $30 paid it for $28 instead, in 3 packs containing around 3 pieces with each one lasting around 1 month, depending on …
La Roche-Posse Unifiance Creme Satin Foundation
Take a look around, a good look around. It’s amazing that in today’s society we see so many women plastered in heavy makeup and wearing foundation, which is the wrong shade all together (oompa lumpa!). It could be that today we just have far too much choice, far too …
L’Oreal HydraFresh Moisturizer
Winter started. Most of the time, it snows heavily here in Switzerland. My husband and I have same skin type. So we both used a same moisturizer so far. Though it looked good while we apply, within few minutes of stepping out of our home, we started feeling the …
