N.Y.C Magic Moments 148A
This nail polish was actually given to me by a friend who knew how much I adored pink nail polish, but sadly didn’t know what type of pink. Now I love the clean fresh French Manicured look of pink, but this sadly was just not something that I would …

MAC Face and Body Foundation
In times when I am wearing a tube top cocktail dress and my hair is on chignon style, I want my make up artist to include the part around my neck, the portion just above my breast and the back part just beneath my backbone. I had to extend …
Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss
The first time I tried the Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss was this past Christmas when one of my relatives gave me a few different colours in this range as a gift. This was a perfect gift for me as I rarely leave the house without lip …
Suave Invisible Solid Soothing Lavender Lilac Deodorant
I tried the Suave Invisible Solid Soothing Lavender Lilac Deodorant because I was looking for a soothing lovely scented lavender deodorant and this one sounded lovely. The deodorant was okay, but it didn’t keep me from sweating or smelling. The scent of the deodorant was more of a strong …
Revlon ColorStay Lipstick
I was really looking forward to trying this lipstick. Because I live in Canada, once the ads in the US came on, I had to wait for quite a while before it was available here. It comes in a tube, much like a regular lipstick and glides …

Coco hair oil is very good oil which not only improves our hair growth, after applying it, also calms our mind and cools our moods. Coco hair oil is made of coconut oil, which is very pure, and it has no strong or harsh chemicals. This oil …
Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash
I have always been a fan of Bliss skin care products due to the fact that they are simple and effective. Bliss creates products that are intended to perform a certain action and they then execute said action. Bliss’ Fabulous Foaming Face Wash is no exception to this concept. …
Rapidlash Rapid Lash Eyelash Renewal Serum PROMAXYL
I am reviewing Rapidlash Rapid Lash Eyelash Renewal Serum PROMAXYL. I have this thing with nice long lashes as explained in previous review of mascaras but I refuse to use fake lashes, so naturally I decided to try Rapid Lash after mostly positive reviews. The package is neat and …
Safeguard Papaya Soap
I’m really confused if they’re marketing this soap as a whitening soap or a germicidal soap; because it does nothing really. My complexion didn’t lighten even after I used up 3 bars (bought it on a 2 for 1 sale). It’s not a germicidal soap either because after half …
Covergirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers Guava Splash
My main reason for buying this lip gloss was the sweet, delicious smell it had. I’ve never had a real guava before, but this lip gloss smelled really nice! I’ve never smelled anything like it before, it was so unique that I had to try it out. Plus, the …

Maybelline expertwear Eye Shadow Single, Seashell, Champagne Fizz, Lux Lilac
Product: Maybelline expertwear Eye Shadow Single
Colors: Seashell, Champagne Fizz, Lux Lilac
I bought Seashell online; it was supposed to be a creamy pink, but in reality, it’s actually a lot more pale than it appears online. It’s more pinkish cream than creamy pink. Still, it’s gorgeous as a highlighter, or …

The Product
Shade 07 is a coral shade with sparse golden micro shimmers.
The container is a flat plastic tube that is trapezoid in shape and same shape goes on the black cap where the doe-foot applicator is attached.
This has a sweet scent but I did not detect any particular taste.
This …
Lorac Visual Effection Collection
I received this Lorac Visual Effection Collection mascara set for a gift from a friend. This isn’t something that I would have bought myself because of the brushes that these mascaras come with but I was of course excited to get this as a gift and give them a …
Studio Basics Dual Tip Paddle and Point Cosmetic Applicator
Q-tip is, arguably, the secret to achieving near-perfect makeup. It’s the unsung tool that every makeup buff uses. Apart from the generic use of cleaning one’s ears, I turn to the Studio Basics dual tip paddle/point applicator, a special q-tip made for applying cosmetics.
The Studio Basics dual …

As a busy working mother of 3 in her early forties I have finally started listening to my body and am trying to look after myself more - both on the inside and out. Whilst vitamins and a healthy diet are starting to make me feel healthier I …
Revlon Nail Enamel: 020 Pure Pearl
I am a big fan of Revlon I love all their face and lip products. I had never tried Revlon Nail Enamels before and had always been considering to get one as they have a huge variety of shades.
My all time favorite shades in nail colors are …
IN2IT 2-way Foundation
I’ll like to start off with what I dislike about this product.
First of all, because it is oil free, it makes my skin dry. After applying it for a few hours, I can see my skin getting dry as dead skin starts to appear, …
Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Body Wash
Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Body Wash, is perfect to use if you want to have silky soft and smooth skin. This stuff works wonders on dry skin. It is safe to use for sensitive skin too. This stuff is so much better for you than soap. Since I have …
Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum
I am a single mom and recently started seeing wrinkles around my eyes. I also have a problem with flaking skin around my forehead and nose area. I know this is a sign of normal aging so I decided I needed to start using some products for anti-aging and …
Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel
It’s still a long way to go before I permanently use oil makeup removers. I’ll choose cleansing wipes over oily makeup removers any time. So what softened my reluctance to using cleansing oils? In one word: gel. I was too eager to try Clarins pure …
BareMinerals
All natural make-up is all the rage right now among young ladies and women. I never actually thought about it until I spotted a kit at Target. It was about $45 dollars for a kit that contained 4 different powders as well as the brushes you would need to …
Dr Hauschka Roll On Floral Deodorant
I bought a Dr Hauschka deodorant recently after seeing it advertised and being curious as to how this expensive product could be better than the standard (and much cheaper) anti-perspirant that I regularly use. It wasn’t until I got it home that I realised this was a deodorant …
Pears Glycerin Soap
Pears soap is recommended to me by a skin specialist and I am using this soap for all cleaning in my face. The Pears soap is very gentle and I was impressed in just seeing the soap bar once. The Pears soap is branded as a glycerin bar. I …
Wet n’Wild H20 proof liquid eyeliner
I’ve never really been a fan of Wet n’ Wild products. I’ll try some here and there out of curiosity but generally I’ve never been particularly drawn to this brand. I’m not sure why that is, it could be the cheap packaging or that their products look very childish. …
Hard Candy Big Curls Don’t Cry Mascara
I was really excited to hear about the new Hard Candy line even if I’m not a huge fan of WalMart who is the sole provider of this product. This mascara was the first item I tried, and I’m actually really impressed with it both for the price and …
Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment- Antique Bronze
I like cosmetics, especially cosmetics on sale! So when I saw Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment on sale for 50% off, I decided to try it. I haven’t had a lot of success with many lip glosses. Often they seep off my lips making the skin …
John Frieda Weather Works Weather Proofing Style Sealant Creme
I bought this John Frieda Weather Works Weather Proofing Style Sealant Creme because no matter how my hair is style, if it’s humid, rainy, wet, etc outside my hair gets ruined. I bought this hoping that it would save my hair on those ind of days when I had …

Beauty collection nail polish
Beauty collection nail polish with extra cream is a really good nail polish. It does not chip away from nails. Once 2-3 coats is applied, it remains as such until one full week. I bought the wine shade. 2 coats can give the exact wine shade. Once coat cannot …

Product: CoverGirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers Lipgloss
My color pick: Fig Splash
I’m a lip gloss nut; every time I spot a new gloss, I have to snap it up. When I saw the intriguing Fig Splash color, I had to try it; it’s a really unique shade, kind of a lavender …
Block and White Whitening and Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Powder
I envy those people who seems do not have sweat glands or any single pore in their body. They don’t have to deal with body odor. They can walk under the sun and still look fresh and odorless, not a single sweat. Unlike me, it seems that I’m blessed …
Acne Spot Repair by Menscience
I fell in love with Menscience products after using their Eye Rescue Formula which worked wonders for my darkcircles.
As I had recounted in one of my previous reviews, I predominantly have an oily skin type. With oil comes acne, and with acne comes reduced social presence. I had tried …
Per Una Long Wear Lasting Foundation SP15
This Long Wear Lasting Foundation from Per Una cosmetic and beauty range in Marks and Spencer is a very good foundation and for that kind of price range —“ it retails at £9.50 for a 30ml tube —“ it is my favorite brand. Ideally I want my foundations …
Victoria’s Secret Garden Amber Romance body splash
Two words for this overpowering perfume: Old Lady.
I was given an 8oz bottle but do not forsee ever using this for anything more than as a mist for the bathroom. I’m sure this is the only place where the strong and lasting scent will be appreciated.
The …
Burt’s Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Shea Butter Body Bar

Carmen Heated Rollers

This is honestly a very good product. My normally flat and not very thick hair gets as much …
Beyond Belief ABH Shine Control Mattifying Toner
About six months ago, I was sitting at home watching one of my favorite television programs, What Not to Wear, and one of the things I love about this show is the cosmetics expert who teaches the fashion victim how to best apply make-up to accent their natural features. …

ELF Eyeliner
Cleopatra immortalized it. Marilyn Monroe rocked it. Amy Winehouse lives in it. Liquid eyeliner is both sexy and tricky to wear. It also seems to be a timeless cosmetic jewel. Shades of eyeshadow may come and go but black eyeliner is here to stay. Especially the liquid, exotic look.
e.l.f. …
Pro beauty
My mother and I have used a lot of products just to make our face beautiful and free from all the skin blemishes, pimples, acnes, oily face.We are really conscious on how we look that is why? we have a lot of products that have really used and it …
Avon Coconut Smoothie Shower Cream 400ml Bottle
I love Avon and therefore am a big Avon user. Thankfully for me several of my friends are stay at home moms who sell Avon for a little extra money and often give me free samples of their products. One of the Avon products that I got stuck on …
Maybelline Define-A-Lash Lengthening & Defining Mascara
Maybelline have produced different variations on their —˜Define-a-Lash’ range of mascaras, but I have the lengthening one (I think you can get a voluminising one in the range too). I do not tend to wear voluminising mascaras in the day time but I need one with good definition …
Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment
Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment is probably one of the best products that helped me out as a kid and even now as an adult. I was prone to develop allergies, hives, yeast infections and also a pretty bad run in with the chicken pox. Now with the added fact …
Cover Girl Natureluxe Silk Foundation
The Cover Girl Natureluxe Silk Foundation gets a rating of 8 out of 10 in my opinion. I spent 12 dollars for this foundation at Walgreen’s. My overall feeling about this product is that it is great if you are looking for a very light, natural foundation but that …
