Wet n Wild Bronzer
I am a huge fan of bronzers and I probably have tried almost all kinds of bronzers of every brand available in the market. When I came across Wet N Wild Bronzer Compact in Bali Bronze at a local drugstore, I definitely could not resist the urge to give …
Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
I love masques, any type, but clays are by far my favorite. They do the best job at pulling impurities from the skin, as well as excess oil. On top of that, they reduce the look of pores and help draw out black heads. With so many different types …
NARS Super Orgasm Lip Gloss
I absolutely hate it when I get really excited about a makeup product because of all the hype that the makeup industry creates about it, then purchase that product and ultimately find out that it isn’t as great as everybody said that it would be. I get even more …
Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer in 0 Neutral
As one of the more expensive makeup brands on the market, Make Up For Ever almost always gives users a product that is worth the high cost. Despite an odd fragrance added to the product line, I think it works really well.
I have a relatively even skin tone, so …
Cyleina Rice Bran Soap
When I was in high school I had the worst case of back acne. I was so embarrassed to show off my body especially when we were changing clothes in the locker room. I was very depressed then because it really gave me low self-esteem. My mom has a …
VaVoom by Matrix Extra-Full Freezing Spray
I have fine straight hair and adding any volume to it is everyday problem for me. I’ve got this spray as a present, because it is rather costly for me to buy it myself (around $12 for 400 ml). This product has some major advantages, as well as …
Barielle Callus And Heel Treatment Cream
I used to have very hard calluses which annoyed me a lot, and I got them after walking in my heels for years. I tried a few products from known companies and while they helped a little, I did not get to see the results I was hoping for. I …
Belo Essential Skin Products
With the popularity of Vicky Belo, the number one cosmetic surgeon of today and in fact the most trusted of the well known celebrities, I felt quite curious with the Belo Essentials Skin Products that she recently released in the market. I was tempted to try them and see …
Clarins Le Rouge Fusion Lipstick
Finding the right shade of lipstick to complement my everyday look seems like a game to me. It is always a trial and error because until I put the lipstick on me, there is no way I could judge how it would look on me. Clarins Le Rouge Fusion …
Neutrogena Deep Clean
This is a one of the cleansers I buy regularly. I don’t have problems with acne and my skin is rather dry than greasy, but those little pores, which seems to become a little bigger with age, do require attention.
Neutrogena Deep Clean is not expensive and comes with different …
Glo-Mineral: Concealer Camouflaged My Scars
Unfortunately, as a young adult I was plagued with adult acne. For years I battled outbreaks and would dread looking in the mirror. The war on my face finally subsided and the out breaks finally reduced. I did find my face …
Everyday Minerals Sunlight Finishing Dust
I’m very disapointed with Everyday Minerals, although I wish I wasn’t because I really wanted to love their products. They seem to be a very fine quality and well made product, it almost makes it unbelievable because of how cheap all their products are. I have been a user …
Skin So Soft by Avon soft and white - intensive whitening lotion
I bought this avon product from a local dealer. I always look for moisturizers with simple but richly nourishing ingredients. I was stuck with my usual dose of milk and yogurt to treat dryness until deciding on using a whitening lotion for a change.
The texture is less creamy …

SebaMed Clear Face Cleansing Bar

E.L.F. mineral booster
I’ve never been a makeup person and it wasn’t until about eight months ago did I really get into makeup and learned how to properly apply it. One of my favorite cosmetic brand, E.L.F. offers all sorts of products for very affordable prices, prices that even drug store brands …
All About Eyes - Clinique eye cream
Today I will be reviewing Clinique’s All About Eyes (the regular kind, not the “rich” version).”
I have Light/Medium skin that gets very dry in the winter so I am always on the hunt for a new face and eye moisturizer. About 2 months ago I went to the Clinique …
Underground hair salon in Northampton MA
The Underground hair salon in Northampton looked like a little crap hole to be honest because the outside of this place wasn’t impressive at all and nothing to be amazed by. The place actually looked a little cheaply done up from the outside which was not a good thing …
Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System
Cleansing one’s face and body with battery operated or electric brushes seems to be the current beauty trend. The most popular cleansing brush is from the brand called Clarisonic who if I am not wrong are the ones who first introduced this type of automatic facial brush cleansers. …
Clairol Perfect 10 Permanent Hair color
I am one of those people who have dyed their hair for 20 years. I used to put a semi permanent color on to liven up my color, but then 13 years ago I started to get some grey hairs and that is when I got …

I am a big fan of glitter nail polishes. They add a touch of sparkle to any nail polish and to any outfit one is wearing and they are simply so much fun to wear. They can be added on top of a boring colour, say at the end …
L’Oreal Elnett Extra Strong Hold Hairspray
I’ve been hearing a lot about L’Oreal’s Elnette Hairspray - regarded as one of the coveted hairstyling products chosen by many hairdressers and beauty editors. Last year, I put it in my list of beauty acquisitions ’till I finally got hold of one. The Elnette hairspray has …

Sonia Kashuk Makeup Blending Sponge
I would never describe myself as having the skill of a professional makeup artist when applying my makeup, but I am someone who absolutely loves to experiment with different looks. I find that it is essential for me to use high quality products in order to achieve the …
Nourishing Oil Care Detangler by Dove
I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. To be honest, I’ve been tempted numerous times to just cut it all off! My hair is medium to coarse, it used to be curly and I straightened it three times and now it has a bit of a wave …
Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Soft Nude
The common misconception with nude lipsticks is that they’re hard to pull off or that they make you look dead. True, if you wear an extremely light, concealer-esque color, you will look dead, so you need to make sure you’re using the right nude color. A great tip to …
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 …
L’Oreal Infallible Makeup

Bali Home Spa Whitening Face Mask
Lately, doing face mask was one of my hobbies. I began this activity after I returned home from my holidays few months ago. Actually, I’ve known about face mask since I was a child from my mother, but as the time goes by, I didn’t think that face …
Redkin Ringlet 07
I had troubles with my new perm becoming frizzy. I wear it with loose curls in the back, and medium length. I wanted the curls to separate with the strands of the hair.I tried product after product in the beauty aisle in popular department stores, and had no luck.
So, …

One of my favorite natural body oils to use when my skin is dry is Aura Cacia Sweet Almond Oil. It comes in a 4 ounce bottle that is very hard to squeeze. The almond oil itself is made from pure almond oil and vitamin E and has a …
Lancome Blush Subtil in SHIMMER PINK POOL
This is my firt Lancome blush - recommended by a friend.
COLOUR PAYOFF : 5/5
The colour looks a scary bright pink in the pan. But it’s ultra blendable and buildable on the face. Just a touch goes a long way as the blush is really pigmented. The colour is pink …
ELF Brightening Eye Color
This is one of my favorite eye shadows ever and it only cost me $1. Yep, that’s right, just a buck. Brightening Eye Colors come in a little compact with small mirror and a sponge applicator. The shadows are from ELF, which stands for Eyes Lips Face. Most of …
IN2IT Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in Very Black

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion
Last year, I purchased Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion for $21 online, after reading some of its positive comments from its former users. It cost $21 each, as I mentioned, and because it was inexpensive, I bought 3 bottles. That time I was suffering from a severe …

Smash Box Photo Op Brightening and Curling Mascara
For the most part, I get my cosmetics at places like Wal-Mart or Target. However, every once in a while, I like to go see what Sephora and Ulta have on sale. I was shopping the sales at Ulta when I first came across this mascara. Now, to be …
Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control
I first started coloring my hair about 5 years ago. Although I love being a blonde it can wreck havoc on your hair. I’ve always had hair that is course and had a tendency to frizz and coloring just made it that much worse. Since that …
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 …
Lipice
I hate lipstick because it’s too heavy for me. But I love the color it can bring to my lips. I don’t like lipgloss too because it sometimes looks to glossy for me. I have been struggling before to find that perfect cosmetic for my lips that is cheap, …

Wickies baby oil, camomile 6

Nicholas V. Perricone Face Finishing Moisturizer
After using Nicholas V. Perricone Face Finishing Moisturizer, I can say that this is one of the best products I have ever bought for myself. I bought this product after watching an infomercial and buying the Perricone skin care book.
The reason I like this moisturizer is because it …
Wet’n'Wild Photo Filter Foundation
Lately, I’ve been trying different cheap and cruelty-free products, because it’s easy to find a bomb cruelty-free product that costs $80, but it’s much harder to find one that costs $5 and does a good job too. Wet’n’Wild is famous for making affordable, but nice quality products and I was …
Oil Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser by Neutrogena
For years I have heard how great Neutrogena products are. I have tried a few products of theirs and have been somewhat pleased with the results. However, this cream cleanser was not one of them.
I found it to actually be quite oily to the touch and also …
Loreal’s Telescopic Mascara
I have just discovered Loreal’s Telescopic Mascara and I have to say it is the best mascara I have ever used. I find it separates my lashes and makes them appear longer and thicker and I am delighted. My eyelashes are not my best feature but Telescopic …

Kneipp Jojoba Nut Massage Oil
The good thing about this massage oil comes from the properties of jojoba oil which is very stable and doesn’t become rancid after long periods of storage. However it doesn’t have the time to do so because I use it very fast.
I like to put some drops on …
