Dove’s White Beauty Bar
I first tried Dove’s White Beauty Bar when I was searching for a soap that would not dry out my sensitive skin. I have always had trouble with soaps irritating my already dry skin. I started noticing that soaps that contain lots of dyes and added fragrances seemed to …
Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse Foundation
I first came to know of this product when most of my friends recommended it to me. They raved about it so much that I decided to purchase one myself. I was not disappointed. The foundation comes in a compact container that fits right well into your make-up kit. …
Venus Embrace Razor
Usually, when I decide I need to shave, I just buy a pack of throw-away razors from the dollar store. However, from continued use of these products, the skin on my legs are in pretty bad shape. The problem with these kinds of razors is that they really cut …
Belo Essentials Night Therapy Whitening Cream
When I first saw the line of beauty products by Belo Clinic, a dermatological clinic ran and owned by one of the well-known celebrity doctors in the Philippines, I was a little hesitant because I knew that the good doctor charged a steep price for her services and products …
ANEW CLINICAL Instant Face Lift

Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix Foundation
This is one of my most favourite foundations.
It’s very cheap at £7, and my first bottle has last me about three months.
The foundation is very easily put on, it glides on using a foundation brush, your fingers or a sponge. A problem I had with some foundations was …
Clinique M Cover (Concealer For Men)
Whenever I check for some cosmetic products, I go for the “male category” and do not just use the generic or unisex substance. Men have some flaws also, I think we are more prone to it. Its just that women are vigorous to conceal and perfect their look when …
Clearogen Acne System
I heard really good things about this system, and I even called them regarding a few questions I had. I explained my type of acne to the lady and she said that because I was experiencing hormonal acne this system would most likely work for me. They offered a …
Montagne Jeunesse Crystal Face Masque
The Crystal Masque from Montage Jeunesse is a mildly exfoliating face masque, it’s slighty different to other face masques from this range in that it’s a gel with granules of sugar mixed in to create the exfoliating effect. It’s designed for all skin types, I have fairly normal skin …
Le Petit Marseillais Liquid Soap
One of my favorite liquid hand soaps is Le Petit Marseillais. I also love their line of body soaps which are huge chunky pieces made of natural olive oil and other ingredients. Although it is expensive than the rest of the products in the same category, I like to …
Goody Styling Therapy Hairbrush
When I am really stressed-out, it will first manifest in my head. I start getting dandruff and my scalp will itch terribly, even if I just shampooed it. You can just imagine my problem since I have thick waist length; I usually rely on my hair brushes to ease …
Endless Liquid Lipcolour by Loreal Paris
If my life revolved around cosmetics (which it does a bit more than I like to admit) then I would describe the search for the perfect lipstick as the great struggle of my life. I lead an active life and I am a very tactile, kinetic person - I …
Groom Mate Platinum XL Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer
This was the first nose and ear hair trimmer that worked pretty well for me. The thing that’s different about this trimmer compared to other trimmers that I’ve tried and used is that it requires two hands to operate. The reason it requires two hands is because it’s not …
The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Blotting Tissues
I have always heard about how great this essential oil is for the hair and body. Although my skin is very dry, I tend to sweat a lot during the summer months when the weather in my city becomes extremely humid. About a month ago, I was …

CoverGirl natureluxe Liquid Silk Foundation 305
Liquid foundation is a must-have in my makeup routine. CoverGirl natureluxe looked like a good product, but I wasn’t quite as happy with the price tag. It is a little more expensive than I like for a foundation. I had a coupon, so I purchased the …
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Compact Face Powder
Allow me to vent out again my frustration with loose powders in pots, I don’t want to be stuck using pots to eternity. Blame it on the pot itself, which needs to be mechanically tilted for the powder to come out —“ the powder comes sifted and sits …
MAC Club Eyeshadow
While I was browsing the MAC store the other day, I came upon this eyeshadow called Club, and I just had to check it out solely because of its name. Now I am definitely a club girl, I love going out to parties on weekends, and especially since the …
Essie Nail Polish
Everyone knows Essie for nails. I read recently that their most famous shade of all time is a beautiful palest pink called “Ballet Slippers” and has sold more bottles than almost any other nail polish ever. A pretty big selling point. They’re bottles are also so …
Bottega Verde Enlightening glitter gel all over

China Glaze - Poetic finger nail polish
Finger nail polish has always been my thing. There is nothing the China Glaze-Poetic finger nail polish. China glaze alone is a popular brand of finger nail polish because of many different reasons. To some the price isn’t the fairest, especially when you can buy a bottle of finger …
Rimmel Sun Shimmer To Go Body Bronzer Wipe Single Sachet
I am always up for trying new brands so instead of using my usual Garnier gradual tanning product, I thought I would try this Sun Shimmer To Go self-tanning wipe from the Rimmel brand. Having applied it this morning —“ and now looking at the final results that …
Clinique Glow Crazy Powder Highlighter in Gold Dust 03
I think it’s so fitting to call this product a “late bloomer” amongst my assortment of new and old cosmetics, because it turned out to be a fabulous highlighter after keeping it for years. I’m ready to say that this is one of my favorite powder highlighters right …
Laneige Hydra Solution Activator
It seems to me that Korean skin care steps just keep on increasing and increasing. Imagine my surprise when, as part of the Laneige Hydra Solution set I bought, I also got a Laneige Hydra Solution Activator.
I asked the SAs what it was for and according to them …

No Rinse Shampoo
I bought the No Rinse bath towelettes a while back for a camping trip, but at the time hadn’t seen that there was a shampoo as well, otherwise I definitely would have picked it up. I’m one of those fanatics that has to have access to a shower and …
Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Makeup

Alberto European Curls & Waves styling mousse

I had actually never heard of Superior 70 Bay Rum before, but was doing my weekly trip to the local pharmacy/convenience store and happened to find it in the section with all the shaving creams and aftershave, and it was only $2 for a HUGE 11 ounce bottle. I …
Smooth Away (hair removal)
My sister picked up Smooth Away at one of the stores in her area, and bragged to our mother and myself about how well this product worked. So I went and spent the money on it, unfortunately.
It worked, but as someone who has a vast amount of facial …
Coppertone Tanning Lotion SPF 8 Sunscreen

Q-Tips
I use Q-Tips every day, although primarily in the morning after waking up. I use them for my ears because they are quite soft and small, and they work very well. My ears feel nice and clean after I’ve finished. One box really lasts a long time too because …
Olay active hydrating beauty fluid

It was just accidental that I happened to check out …

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Soft Nude
The common misconception with nude lipsticks is that they’re hard to pull off or that they make you look dead. True, if you wear an extremely light, concealer-esque color, you will look dead, so you need to make sure you’re using the right nude color. A great tip to …
Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara
I heard so many great things about this mascara, but I didn’t believe them until I tried it myself. I admit I own quite a handful of mascaras of different brands, but because my eyes tend to water, no matter the season is, I am never completely satisfied and …

Not everyone’s hair looks best styled with mousse, but for those people who do use mousse as a styling product, this review is a must-read.
