He started using it according to …

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumping Serum

Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Toasty Almond Sheer Lip Gloss

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
I’ve been cursed with very sensitive skin. When I was a teenager, pimples were the enemy. Now in my late thirties, my skin is still a combination of oily and dry. Although the pimples are gone, they’ve been replaced by discoloration, skin tags and millia. Since my teens, various …
Pears Shower Gel Body Wash
Pears Shower Gel is as pleasurable to use as I remember the bar of soap was, with its best qualities but with the advantage that it is 100% soap free. I would enjoy using the soap bar when I was a kid as it seemed to me to …
SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie
Before traveling to an island in the Caribbean, I decided it would be best to let my natural curls come out instead of fussing with a straight iron. Because I flat iron my hair daily, I knew it would be best to get some sort of moisturizing, curl-enhancing product …
V05 Tea Therapy Conditioner
Every once in a while I like to spoil my hair. I use great shampoos but conditioners seem to make my scalp feel weird if I use them too often. That’s not the case with Alberto V05 Tea Therapy Clarifying Conditioner.
First off, it smells fantastic. My shower is riddled …
Yes To Grapefruit dark circle correcting eye cream

Lancome Cils Booster XL Mascara Base

Pantene Pro-V Style Classic Hairspray

My mother used to …
Etival laboratoire Defi-Age Neck Serum

Impress Press On Manicure
At first, I was excited when I heard about Broadway’s new press on nails. I use Kiss glue on nails all the time, but I hate dealing with the sticky nail glue. It gets all over my fingers and is there for a few days after I apply. The …
Clean and Clear Acne Advantage kits
Clean and Clear Acne Advantage kits cost near $20.00 at our local Wal-Mart. I purchased this kit not because of acne but because I have a condition that makes me form weird little white bumps on my face. This review is not about my personal history though. …

Body Shop’s Tea Tree Oil Facial Scrub

TRESsemme Flawless Curls Mousse
Mousse is something that is pretty much a necessity for those who have curly hair. When I was younger, I had no idea how to tame by course, curly hair, so I would get out of the shower, brush it, and then just go to school for the day. …
O.P.I. Sand In My Suit Nail Lacquer (NL-B79)
My mother bought several O.P.I. Nail polishes from abroad since they were cheaper by $4 each bottle! They were a steal so she bought a lot and I was having fun trying them out. I love O.P.I. nail polishes as they have a good strong and durable finish that …
Shu Uemura Rouge Lipstick 265
This is one lipstick I can use for daily wear, it’s got a very neutral shade that’s not bold or aggressive and it’s got a really elegant and natural hue to it, but I would only use this for daily wear and not really for occasions as I would …

L’Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara
I recently decided to try L’Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara in black as many other “waterproof” labelled cheaper brands tended to run off my eyes after a couple of hours. It was ◚¬12.99 which I would expect to be a mid to high price for a mascara.
Unfortunately I was disappointed …
Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer
The advertising slogan for Neutrogena lip moisturizes promises “no waxy feel” as though that was a central element thereof; I cannot say I mind one way or another about —˜waxiness’, nor have I ever experienced it in any moisturizer, Neutrogena’s or else. However, what I can say, is that …
Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Blush in Parasol
On a makeup inspired whim, I got this Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Blush in Parasol because I had extra cash burning a hole in my wallet. I love to throw my money at useless things, and this blush is gorgeous, but not unique. I pay way too much attention …

I love this product. Although there are a lot of different brands of cocoa butter being sold, this one is not watered down by other ingredients. It has this great smell that you can tell is the real thing. It is fairly inexpensive, and it works …
Rimmel Sweet Jelly Sheer Lip gloss

Modern Organic Products hair pomade
Modern Organic Products hair pomade is a dense sticky paste that comes in a small pot. It does add texture and it also adds shine, but it is not best for long hair, I have discovered. Since I have long hair it simply weighs it down.
I think …
Banana Boat SPF 50 Sunblock Stick Sunscreen

Caudalie Purifying Mask
Caudalie is one of those fancy shmancy “natural” skincare brands that makes you believe in all those natural ingredients that will make you look effortlessly beautiful, like all the women that promote this brand.

Sally Hansen Gel Cuticle Remover

Try to imagine that beautiful flushed glow you get after a good workout being captured in a bottle. Benetint by Benefit is a long wearing color stain that delivers gorgeous rosy cheeks and soft kissable lips. I became totally obsessed with Benetint while visiting the Benefit Shop …
Pantene Pro-V Volume Shampoo & Conditioner 2 in/1
I’ve used many Pantene hair care products but this was the first time I have found a 2 in/1 shampoo and conditioner by them. I wanted something light that I could use in a hurry at the gym and thought this Pantene product would save time and be less …
