Maybelline dream matte mousee foundation
I recently purchased a founation called “dream matte mousse” by Maybelline. This foundation is amazing! I purchased this item in nude #4. This item leaves your face feeling moisturized and smooth. It gives my face a natural look and covers all of my spots. I have tons of frekles, …
Aussie 3 Minute Sydney Smooth Treatment
One of my favorite conditioning hair treatments to use when my hair needs some nourishment and moisture is Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Sydney Smooth Treatment. It helps repair my hair damage caused by using hot flat irons and curling irons on my hair. It also helps add moisture back …
Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 Hand and Body Lotion
I have not liked any other whitening lotion before than Vaseline Healthy White Lotion with SPF24. Before I have discovered Vaseline Healthy White Lotion with SPF24 as part of my daily routine, I have used some whitening lotions even if they are expensive just to make my skin fair …
Bio-Oil
I have been seeing a lot of advertising on television for Bio-Oil, said to be Europe’s best product for making stretch marks and scars, and as I have numerous scars on my legs, (I am clumsy), I was hoping to see it Canada. Finally, last month, I saw it …
Olay Total Effects Night Cream
I am already in my 30s so I am constantly looking for ways to improve my aging skin. I have small eye wrinkles already and I plan to, if not stop them, to minimize the creation of fine lines. I am currently using the Olay Total Effects day cream …
Max Factor, Miracle Touch (Make Up)
I’ll tell you of my latest acquisition in regard to makeup bases: Max Factor Miracle Touch.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
The first thing I say is that I previously used a powder foundation from L’Oreal (Accord Perfect Minerals) and also is a marvel with which I thoroughly recommend it.
The reason to try this …
Neutrogena Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent
I have pretty oily skin around my tzone and i wanted something to fix it. I was at my local drug store and i decided to give it a try. It looked different from the products ive used in the past, that is actually why i got it. I …
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner
I love this eyeliner! I am very particular about my eyeliner because I believe that there is a need for a very specific type of applicator. This has it. The tip is just the perfect size and toughness that you need to apply a perfectly smooth line of makeup. …
Mac Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation in NC15
This is one of the best foundations I have ever used. This is a modern foundation that can protect your skin from ultraviolet rays UVA and UVB and it has sunscreen protection of 15. It’s a foundation, sunscreen, and protection all in one!
I bought this for only a …
Essence Souffle Touch Blush
For years, Essence has wowed me with some amazing products for extremely affordable prices - their buttery Silky Touch Blush, their I-look-totally-airbrushed loose powder and even their fabulous lipsticks. However, I have to say, this was one of the rare duds.
I first tried this when I was about thirteen …
Estee Lauder All-Day Lipstick in Rosa Rosa
I used to wear this Estee Lauder lipstick shade Rosa Rosa many, many years ago — at least fifteen or maybe twenty years ago. I used to like a few shades of Estee Lauder lipstick — Quince, Orchid, and Rosa Rosa. Quince was a beautiful, bright reddish orange shade. …
Urban Decay Ink Lipstain
I was very excited to try this product as I have very pale lips and look a bit corpse like without lipstick. I thought that it would give me that pouty inkstained lip look and I was very disappointed. It is literally like applying a felt pen …
MAC Zoom Lash Mascara
I absolutely love MAC cosmetics. Even though some of the company’s products are more expensive than what I would like to pay, I have found that most of the time it has been absolutely worth it. This mascara has probably been the only product that I did …
Avon Tropics Shower Gel
This has always been 1 of my favourite Shower gels from Avon since I tried it all those years ago. This comes in a 250ml bottle and a 500ml bottle. The 250ml bottle costs £2 but often can be found on offer every other Avon book for £1, and …
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 …
Hype Ardent Gluta C Intense Whitening Facial Night Serum
This is one of the most wonderful products from Hype Ardent Gluta that I really like. I bought it at Watsons store to combine with my Ardent Gluta C Spritz toner which is also a wonderful whitening toner. I do use it at night after washing my face and …
Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara
I really love Mascaras and I always use Waterproof formula. I used to be the type of person who only used washable formulas when I first started wearing makeup and did so for many years with the thought that washable mascaras were gentle on the eyelashes and that …
MAC Lustreglass in Spring Bean
Upon viewing this item online, I was very captivated, as well as put off. A green lip gloss? That absolutely couldn’t be worn and actually look normal.. could it? After seeing videos of people raving over this product, I decided to venture into the land of Lustreglasses at MAC …
MaxFactor Max Effects Lip Gloss 14 Rubylicious
Having used Nichido Lip Gloss for sometimes now, I was ready to try something else different that would still give me that natural lip looking that Nichido gave. I remember testing one lip gloss to another but most of the shades seemed either too bright for what I …
Bonne Bell Black Eye liner
Bonne Bell is known for some great makeup products and a good price. However, because it is cheap, not all the products are good. This is a good black color but it fades out/smudges off pretty easily at the end of the day. In other words, it is not …
Ponds Overnight Repair Dream Night Cream
As I enter mid-twenties, I am becoming aware that I might soon see fine lines and wrinkles on my face so I have been looking for a good night cream that would prevent that. I saw on a TV advertisement about Pond’s Overnight Repair Dream Night Cream and how …
Humectress conditioner by Nexus
I am an African-American and I relax-perm my hair. I also use a temporary color and blow dryer. Needless to say my hair can become very dry. I’ve used Humectress as a conditioner after shampooing. My hair dresser recommended that I use a 1/2 inch …
Sally Hansen’s 18 Hour Lip Treatment
I purchased Sally Hansen’s “18 Hour Lip Treatment” a while ago. It is such a great product. I used to have dry, chapped lips occasionally, but then I started getting it all the time. There was nothing I could do about it. No lip balm or lip conditioner would …
Tarte Moisturizing Dry Oil Shimmer Spray
My regular self tanner gives me a nice glow that I love, and I use Tarte Moisturizing Dry Oil Shimmer Spray to add some sparkle to my skin when I go out. It comes in a very easy to pump clear bottle, almost looks like a perfume bottle, except …
Loreal Paris Elseve Smooth-Intesne Anti-Frizz Serum
I was introduced to Loreal Paris Elseve Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Serum by my sister. Since she already works, she has money to buy a lot of products for her hair and beauty. I would often times ask for her permission to use and test this products for myself just to …
Rimmel London Extend Mascara
This two-ended mascara really makes me eyelashes longer. I first apply the white mascara, then the black one, and the next thing I know is: my eyelashes become so long that I can not recognise them as my own eyelashes. Surprise, surprise!
However, sometimes I …
Perlier Dark Chocolate Nourishing Hand Cream
This review is for Perlier’s Dark Chocolate, Nourishing Hand Cream. This is my new favorite hand cream. It makes your hands unbelievably soft, and it is non-greasy. It helps with dry skin and with softening your cuticles. I have also used it on my feet …
N-Spa Sweetheart Strawberry Shower and Bath Gel
I got this as part of a different gift set than the 1 I wrote about the other day. I tend to get a lot of Shower Gels and bath and body products for presents as I do like things like this so people tend to get me it, …
Eskinol Classic Astringent
My mother is the one who introduce me to Eskinol. When I was growing up, Eskinol has no rival when it comes to cleaning your face unlike today. Today, so many toners, facial wash, and moisturizer claim to clean your face. Before there are only one and …
OPI Princesses Rule nail polish
Even though I own so many different shades of pink in nail polishes, I feel like you can never have too much pink! Honestly! The name of this nail polish is Princesses Rule, and it’s by OPI. I saw it in Sally’s Beauty Supply store one day, and of …
Garnier Skin Naturals Lightening Peel-Off Mask
I found this inexpensive facial mask in our local beauty store, and I decided to try it. It’s name is Garnier Skin Naturals Lightening Peel-Off Mask. It says on the label that it has pure lemon essence and I really thought that it would nice for the skin. I …
Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Dream Bath (Bubble Bath)
Bath & Body Works is my favorite store to go to when I am looking to try a new scented product, be it a candle, a lotion, or even a bubble bath. I was shopping around in there and came across their Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Dream …
Cetaphil: The Acne Solution
There are many skin products out there claiming to encourage acne free skin. After trying Neutrogena, Proactiv, Clean and Clear, Dermaclear, and many others, I was about ready to give up. For me, acne was intense and severe; breakouts were frequent and painful. Even more disheartening was the fact …
Loreal Elseve Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Serum
If I have to describe the Loreal Elseve Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Serum all I can say is that this product is absolutely fantastic in my hair. I fell in love so much with this hair serum for it makes my hair more manageable than in its usual looks. I have …
Avon Moisture Therapy Hand Cream
I have used many different hand creams through the years. I have finally found the one for me. With Avon’s Mositure Therapy hand cream, I will not be buying any others. This is the best hand cream ever, not to mention the low price. I have paid much more …
L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-TanningTowelettes light
Self-tanning products really freak me out because I’ve had one too many negative experiences with them. I tend to lean more towards using a bronzer, but something that just washes off at the end of the day when you take a shower, and not something that’s potentially permanent because …
Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask (Face Moisturizer)
My face is extremely dry and sensitive, and living in a very dry climate has made it worse. I need moisturizer, but I really dislike the heavy feeling that some of them have on my face when I wear them during the day. It is difficult to put makeup …
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara
When I saw the name of this new mascara from Maybelline I couldn’t help but laugh because it seems like the cosmetic companies are finally running out of things to name their products. I guess it happens, but I can see why they decided to name the latest …
IN2IT Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in Very Black
I bought the In2it Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in Very Black as I was looking for waterproof eyeliner that would last the day and not give me raccoon eyes. I had bad experience with another brand of eyeliner that always left me looking like I had a sleeping problem. It …
Bonnebell Eye Definer in Hot Cocoa
I own several Eye Definers from Bonnebell, most of which I can’t find in stores anymore, which is a misfortune, because these colors are beautiful and I’d love for everyone to own one. Not giving up, I went to every CVS, Target, Walmart, and Shoppers in my area, and …
Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller
I was really disappointed in my purchase of this product, because it didn’t do anything for me! I was in K-Mart with my mother one day, and while she was purchasing something, I decided to take a look at the skin care section to check out what they had. …
Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer (02 Beige)
I am always looking for a flawless look and sometimes even the best foundation can not provide the desired perfect aspect.I have started to use concealer recently and I don’t apply it on a daily basis.My best friend remains the liquid foundations and the concealer just helps me from time …
Nexxus Diametress Luscious Volumizing Shampoo
My hair gives me more grief than I’d really like to deal with on a daily basis. I find that not only do I have to deal with oily roots and dry tips, but my hair is so fine that it’s virtually lifeless all the time. And, on top …
SoftSheen Carson Roots of Nature Butter Whip Coil Cream
I was told about this product from a woman at my job, I had been on the hunt for more natural products to use on my hair, so that it will behave better. I had played around with different products to use to moisturize and seal my hair, unfortunately, …
Smith’s Rosebud Salve
To be honest, this product was nothing spectacular to me. Its effectiveness was the same as Vaseline in my opinion. The major difference between the two products is the smell and color which are two things that I could do without. A major problem that I …
Pond’s White Beauty Lightening Cream
Because of my somewhat extreme interest in outdoors, my skin has taken a lot of abuse. A decade or so ago, skin care was expensive and so my routine was fairly simple and low-budget. When I started working, one of the major dents in my budget were, and is …
Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder Foundation
There has been so much hype in the world of makeup about products containing mineral ingredients. Mineral products are supposed to be so much better for your skin than products containing more harsh chemicals. Even drugstore brands have incorporated mineral products into their lines. That’s how I got my …
Aloette Oily Skin Care Kit
Recently my friend decided to host an Aloette party. Currently I am on maternity leave with my second child and it was a great way to get out for the afternoon. Although I had heard of Aloette I was unfamiliar with their products. I already had …
