Bourjois Very Vernis Nail Polish was rather expensive when it first came out and so I never bothered with it at first. Then the price seemed to come down and I finally bought a bottle from my local beauty store for £4.95, which is 9.20 US dollars. However, recently …

I got this powder from the local drugstore at $4.5. It is by far the cheapest powder I have got myself. I got this because of the heavy promotions and advertising done in the television box. This product line claim to use natural ingredients and I am a firm …

I trust the Clinique brand more than any other skin care products and cosmetics brand that I use. It is great for my sensitive, dry skin, and I have never had a bad experience with any of their products. While they tend to cost more than drugstore brand products, …

I read in some women’s forums that Kojic acid is a very powerful ingredient in lightening the skin. That’s why many women there uses Kojic Soap and it’s getting so much hype so i decided to try a Kojic soap. I’ve read a lot of good reviews about it. …

I have members in the family who work in the medical field, and I often don’t follow their suggestions on what are the best products for skincare. I buy products on my own terms. But despite our clash of ideals, it’s worth listening sometimes. I was …

Head and Shoulders Menthol, works well with my conditioners. What it has in the label which is anti-dandruff is really true. Before I went here in the states, I used to have a few dandruff that was probably caused by the weather or just the kind of shampoo I …

The name itself of the label suggest how it really works. I only used this once when I was playing a Japanese role in school. I have average lashes- they are not that long and not that short even. They are just the normal sizes of lashes. As we …

For many years, I tried different deodorants. Without fail, they would flake up and show on my clothes or not work. When I worked in a gym, I used Degree for women but it sometimes stung when I applied it following shaving my armpits. Several years …
