Maybelline Mascara: The Colossal Volum’ Express
I have long lashes, but they are pretty sparse. I am constantly buying mascara to volumize them. I recently bought a new product by Maybelline called the Colossal Volum’ Express. It has a wand and head that closely resembles a “teddy bear” applicator. The term “teddy bear” basically means …
Garnier color naturals
Garnier color naturals is the best way of getting hair colored while going for any parties or functions. They come in different colors and one can choose what color they want and what color suits them best. The best feature about this Garnier product is ofcourse it’s ease of …
Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Glow in Dark Nail Polish
What do you get from a glow-in-the-dark nail polish? I had so much unadulterated fun out of disguising a glowing nail lacquer into a polished manicure. This has been the silliest thing I’ve ever done where my nails are concerned. The bottle strikes me as a …
Lander 3 in 1 Cream Caramel Bath Gel
I was looking for a gentle shower gel that would not irritate or dry my skin. I already own a lot of expensive products that I really do not use, so I also wanted the product to be fairly inexpensive. My skin tends to be fairly dry, …
Rimmel Glam Eyes Volume Mascara
I would recommend the Rimmel Glam Eyes mascara, but only as an every day mascara, rather than one for when you want to look particularly glamorous. What I mean is that although I think this is a great mascara, the effect is just not as dramatic as Rimmel …
MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme (Overtime)
Prior to purchasing the MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in the shade Overtime back in March, I had somewhat limited but very successful experience with lip products from MAC Cosmetics. In fact, my experiences with MAC lip products had been so positive that it was the only brand I considered …
MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Pink Plaid
This was the first time that I had browsed at the MAC counter, and I was interested in purchasing a tube of beige lipstick. As it turned out, I ended up buying this lipstick in Pink Plaid as well as a beige lipstick. They are both matte lipsticks, because …
E.l.f. Studio Line corrective concealer
E.L.F. cosmetics recently came out with several new products under their Studio line. I’m a huge fan of E.L.F. but out of their three makeup lines, their Studio line is my favorite. Now it is slightly priced higher than their regular brand but still very affordable. I’m such a …
Plus White One Step Teeth Whitener Gel
I mainly bought this whitener because I ran out of the Crest strips that I normally use. However, after using the Crest strips for years, my teeth had gotten really sensitive. So, I can no longer use them because they’re a little too strong. And if I leave them …
Yves Rocher Spa Energie Silky Contouring Cream
What an amazing product, Yves Rocher Spa Energie Silky Contouring Cream. I have always been a very sceptical of creams that promise your skin will look tighter and firmer, mostly because I have used many creams that did not work, but I was desperate. I was not expecting miracles, …
Dermalogica Mask
I have been using Dermalogica proucts for some time now and i do think they are realy good and well worth the money.
I espcially like their hydrating mask as this can be applied to the eye area too unlike most other masks, i usually like to apply this the …
Tone Body Wash
I like to use Tone Body Wash when I bathe. I have very sensitive skin, so I have to be careful what kind of soaps or body washes I use. I find that Tone Body Wash does not make me break out and in fact improves the texture …
Pantene ProV Hair Fall Control Shampoo
Pantene is a known name among hair shampoo. My family is using it since many time. Pantene has big range of product, but we are using Pantene Pro-V, Hair fall control shampoo.
Because of air and water pollution, poor eating habit, deficiency of vitamins, protein, minerals, iron etc increases …
Garnier Mineral Deodorant 48 hour protection (roll-on)
I am somewhat distrustful of Garnier products, having been disappointed with a number of different cosmetics from their merchandise. However, when they introduced their new deodorants line, the advertising campaigns were pervasive enough to interest me, and upon being offered a roll-on deodorant at a sale, with prize lowered …
DDF Glycolic Exfoliating Wash 5%
I have been working in the cosmetic industry for nearly five years now, so I am always trying all of the new skin care products on the market. I love DDF as a company simply due to the fact that it was formulated by dermatologist, hence the acronym for …
Avon Clearskin Professional Daily Correcting Lotion
Continuing on with the Avon Clearskin professional range I will review this product now. I have used all the products in the range and find that they work well. My skin isn’t all that great and in the past I have found that the ranges that are more aimed …
Brown Bourjois 2 in 1 Coup de Theatre Mascara
A few months ago I was looking desperately for a brown Mascara when I came across this Coup de Theatre 2in1 Mascara. Everything else in the small shop was black not brown so it was a default buy. Normally default buys don’t work out but this one was a …
Cargo: One Base Foundation & Concealer
Cargo has really outdone themselves with the One Base Foundation and Concealer, a literal foundation and concealer in one. One might think that this combination could not possibly work unless it layers the entire face with a thick caky mess.
However, the trick …
Jason Soap Tea Tree Satin
I have found this soap to be really quite ideal for dry skin. After using this soap, my skin does not feel as dry or as irritated compared with regular face soap. After about three or four days use, I started to see a noticeable improvement and after a …
Bottega verde illuminating foundation
I really like Bottega Verde products. I got used to them with years and somehow I end up with the biggest part of my make up and creams of that brand. My sister became a Bottega Verde member about 5 years ago. We were walking around one big shopping …
Virgin Vie Stay Calm Cleansing Lotion
The Virgin Vie Stay Calm Cleansing Lotion is fragrance and color free and, as the bottle says, it is for ‘delicate and unhappy skin’. My skin is always unhappy for one reason or another and it is rather sensitive, reacting quickly to anything that does not agree with …
Maybelline EyeExpress Easy Lining Pen
This is perhaps one of the first Maybelline products I have not been burned by (thankfully not literally). Maybe they are starting to use some of their large advertising budget for product design.
I have had a rocky history with liquid eyeliners, probably more so than with any other cosmetic …
Lush Honey I Washed The Kids Soap
This is another Soap that I have been using for years and this one has also been out for years. I think that this Soap used to be sold when the company Lush used to be called Cosmetics to Go, but I cannot be totally sure of this fact. …
Cover Girl Shine Blast Lip Gloss
I thought the ‘Blast’ Cover Girl line was only in mascaras and eye shadowsbut then I just happened to see the Cover Girl Shine Blast Lip Gloss ad in one of the magazine that I recently bought and was surprised that they also had a lip gloss in the …
Olay’s Regenerist Tone
As I am getting older, I have started to get discolored areas on my face. Friends tell me they are age spots from sun damage. My chin is particularly bad. I have tried to cover the spots with make-up, but they only become more obvious.
My sister gave me …
CHI Ceramic Flat Iron
I begged my parents for a CHI Ceramic Flat Iron for Christmas when was in college. My dad found it for a much cheaper and very affordable price online at Folica and ended up ordering it for me. I ended up getting it two days after Christmas, but the …
Kiss Everlasting French Nails
I absolutely recommend Kiss Everlasting French Nails for anyone who likes their nails French manicured. These are artificial nails and can be purchased in most drug and department stores. They are very inexpensive (around $5-6).
Many people asked me where I got my nails done because they looked …
Fame Lip Gloss By Sephora
I love Fame Lip Gloss by Sephora. I love Sephora.com and I frequently order cosmetics and perfume from this online store. I love the free samples that they give out too! As I was browsing the website, I came across Fame Lip Gloss by Sephora. …
Nair 15 Second Microwave Wax
I remember seeing all of those great commercials for Nair products growing up. I usually consider it to be a good quality brand, but this product was certainly disappointing. I purchased it from a local discount store for about $10 specifically to use on my legs. …
Avon 8 Hour Overnight Treatment by Foot Works
Avon 8 Hour Overnight Treatment by Foot Works is a fantastic product. When I ordered the Avon Pedi Peel by Foot Works, my representative gave a tube of the Avon 8 Hour Overnight Treatment by Foot Works to try. All you have to do is rub the …
Body Shop For Men Face Wash
This is one of the best “for men” facial cleanser for me. I could have saved enormous amount of money had I picked this face wash long time ago. That would entail savings from facial treatments and the problems of blemishes. The main benefit I like about specialized facial …
Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer
In the hopes of reversing acne scars, I bet on another Clinique product. The Even Better skin tone correcting moisturizer, aside from the obvious claim of improving skin tone, also promises to help diminish acne scars. I just stumbled upon it online. Without nitpicking the ingredients, …
Sally Hansen Line Smoothing Mineral Lip Treatment in Rose Quartz
The Product
Rose Quartz shade is a peach color with gold shimmers.
The container is a plastic tube with a gold screw cap where the doe-foot applicator is attached.
This has a sweet minty scent but I did not detect any particular taste.
This has a creamy consistency and a little bit sticky.
I …
Equate Cool Moisture Body Wash
Equate Cool Moisture Body Wash comes in a white plastic bottle with a pale green cap. The body wash is made with extracts of cucumber and green tea. It is said to “cool and moisturize while you cleanse, leaving skin refreshed and relaxed.” While I have not experienced any …
Clinique Liquid Lipstick SPF 15 in Plushy
Just to let you know right off the bat, I think this Clinique product has been discontinued. I don’t see it on their website. But you can still buy it on Amazon.com for $11.99, and another website called Beauty Encounter.com is selling it for $3.99 for a travel-size tube. …
Hawaiian Tropic Island Berry Lip Gloss
I am really passionate about lip glosses.I am a big fan of super shiny lips and I am always looking for a lip gloss that provides glossy sheen.Last year I discovered an excellent product created by Hawaiian Tropic.Island Berry Lip Gloss adds a wonderful shiny aspect that definitely exceeded my …
Tesco Foam Bath with Sea Minerals
I have often gone through times when I am short of money and cannot afford to buy expensive bubble bath so I end up getting something like this own brand foam bath from Tesco. It comes in a jumbo economy 1 ltr bottle for only 78p which is …
Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Ruthless
I don’t usually spend money on high end eyeshadows, but I really wanted to try Urban Decay eyeshadows because they are really pigmented when I test them out at Sephora and Ulta. However, I didn’t want something with a lot of chunky glitter that would just cause fallout when …
Bourjois Sweet Kiss Lipstick (Praline Distingue)
I am not very impressed with this Bourjois lipstick, especially as it is not exactly a cheap lipstick, at £7.99. It is from their ‘Sweet Kiss’ range and the colour I chose, being quite pale, is ‘Praline Distingue’ which is a pinky/beige shade.
It promises “intense, radiant …
MAC Shale eyeshadow
I originally acquired MAC Shale eyeshadow in a palette several years ago. However, I did not really try it because in the pan it just looked like a boring purple and I do not wear purple eyeshadow by itself very often. One day recently, however, I was …
O.P.I. Tickle My France-y France Collection Nail Lacquer
I almost always love O.P.I shades but this one is another one of those shades that I’m not really sure whether like it or not. This shade is called Tickle My France-y and it’s a neutral beige shade that looks very natural but in my tastes, too simple …
AmorePacific Treatment Enzyme Peel
I’ll be honest and say I don’t even know what an enzyme peel really is or does. But I knew that I needed to take some drastic measures a couple weeks ago when I realized what a sad state my skin was in. It’s winter now and the dry …
Simple Be Kind to Eyes Eye Makeup Remover Pads
In my travels, I’m often beset by beauty problems regarding how to clean up one’s face at the day’s end. I used to carry 2 different bottles of cosmetic cleansers despite the extra load on my luggage - all for vanity’s sakes. But come airport restrictions on …
Johnson’s 24 Hour Lasting Moisture Body Lotion
For anyone looking for a light body lotion that applies easily and is quickly absorbed by the skin, I recommend Johnson’s 24 Hour Lasting Moisture Body Lotion. At only 150php for a 200ml bottle, it is definitely worth trying. I don’t know how long this product has been …
Body clear body wash neutrogena
I have this soap that is body soap from neutrogena. I tried it today and I love it. I love other neutrogena products so I thought I would try this one out. I love the feeling of this body wash on my body and the smell of it. It …
Loving Naturals Clear Body SPF 30+ Sunscreen
Wow, another hot summer day. My skin’s going to get burnt! But I don’t want to use sunscreen because it’s toxic! What do I do? Well what I did was buy a natural sunscreen. Yup, Loving Naturals is one I would recommend. It comes in a large container so …
Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover
I was never much of a makeup wearer while growing up. It had something to do with a stringent mother who forbade the presence of makeup in the house or perhaps the fact that I never had much money or allowance to begin with. Whatever the case, …
Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E Skin Care Cream
Just recently, I received a packaged from my Aunt who lives in the US. One of the items I received is Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E Skin Care Cream. I tried using it right away to make sure it will work for me, because I was given four …
Derma Blend Professional Leg and Body Cover
I was completely unaware of Derma Blend professional leg and body cover until I was shopping for beauty products in Ulta. It was a highly recommended product for covering scars and tattoos, so I purchased the toast shade to hide a penny size burn on my thigh.
The purchase price …
