Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Waterproof Mascara, Carbon Black

Rimmel Vinyl Gloss Mirror Shine Lipgloss
When it comes to makeup, I like to defer to the old saying about either focusing on the lips or the eyes, and since my eyes are more easily accommodated, I tend to buy a number of different eye shadows, eyeliners, kohl and mascaras, and don’t exactly spend on …
Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Penetrating Oil

TRIA At Home Laser Removal System

Caivil Dreadlock molding cream

I am …
Colgate Toothpaste
So many choices. We all spend rediculous amounts of time staring down the toothpaste shelf trying to decipher all the brands, types, flavors, styles and perks that the different brands have to offer. Some whiten, some numb sensitive teeth, some give you flowery breath for hours on end. …
Loreal Paris Smooth-Intense Anti-frizz Caring Shampoo
I’m bugged by the different permutations of Loreal’s shampoos, especially their Smooth-Intense line. I just can’t make out the subtle differences between this and Elseve, as well as the Vive Pro range that are probably of the same Smooth-Intense formulations with varying packaging based on region. Mine …

Rimmel Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara
I was so disappointed in this mascara, I don’t even remember why I bothered with this brand, I don’t think I’ve ever owned anything by Rimmel before, and if I have it probably wasn’t anything worth it because I most likely would of repurchased it. So I was in …

Revlon Nail Polish in Sweet Tart
I’m not a big fan of Revlon products and they are not usually on my shopping list. I’m not sure why but it feels as though there’s nothing really special about Revlon.
However I really couldn’t resist this colour. Sweet tart is my favourite shade of girly feminine …

These wipes are a supplement to …
Estee Lauder More Than Mascara

Maybelline New York Intense XXL Microfiber Mascara
