I have heard people raving about Too Faced makeup products for ages, but have never really gotten the chance to purchase any of the items in their makeup line. My hesitation has always been about the fact that the prices are considerably higher than those you would find in …

This feminine …

A year ago, when I was regularly employed in an office, I was very conscientious with my beauty routine. Cleanse, tone, moisturize and masks was my mantra. When I became home-based, I let go of my routine until I noticed that my skin was becoming uneven again. I visited …

I used this shampoo about a week ago on my hair. I actually really liked it. If my hair wasn’t so oily I would continue to use it. It really does what it is supposed to do. It suppose to help with the weather, and it does. It helps …

The best foundation for me is the liquid form because you can control it both in applying it and the amount to be applied. It is almost the most economical form of foundation. A foundation can act as a barrier for the skin protecting it against dirt, wind and …

The fastest way to hide the imperfections under your eyes is through the use of a concealer. I often dab a small amount in my eyes during those times when we need an immediate cover up. Eye creams takes the long road on puffiness and dark circles but a …

I bought this product for a guy friend of mine who travels a lot. He finds it difficult and bulky to carry around shaving cream, shower gel and shampoo, so I bought him Nivea For Men Active3 Shower Gel. This is a really unique product from the new Nivea …

I really like the products for hair that you can find on the last pages of Avon catalogue and I must admit that I always look there first when I get my hands on Avon catalogue. First of all those products are all very light and you can use …

This product retails for thirty six dollars which is a ton of money and the product itself only contains one fluid ounce. It can be really hard to find Stila Cosmetics products, but I was able to order the Stila One Step Correct online. I know it is also …

My skin gets really dry sometimes especially in the winter time. I have tried several different kinds of moisturizers and one that I really like is Soft Skin Moisturizing Cream by Nivea. I purchased this product at Wal-Mart for about seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) for a seven …

In theory this could have been a good mascara. The idea here was that you could customize the look of your lashes with the choice of two looks in one mascara. It did not work for me. This product was fun to try , but a bit of a …

I have long curly hair which often gets dry in the winter, so I bought Garnier-Fructis Leave-In Treatment to give my curls a little more moisture and bounce. This is one of Garnier’s newest hair care products, and as I have always been a fan of the Fructis shampoo’s …

I’ve been using this Shower Gel off and on for a few years now and it is probably 1 of my favourite Shower Gels out there. I guess I could probably use this all the time, but I like a change now and again and that is probably why …

Old Spice Pacific Surge Deodorant is one of the few fragrances that actually reminds me of what its labeled as, and, therefore, is the brand I choose. For some reason, it’s scent is what i remember the pacific ocean to be, especially on cloudy days, when the waves are …

I recently purchases Citre Shine Fresh Fusion hair shampoo. Made by Schwarzkopf & Henkel it comes in a bright 400ml tangerine coloured bottle. Upon opening this shampoo I am struck by the scent of edible lemon mousse! Not a bad odour but certainly not the strong citrusy scent I …

My lips are almost always cracked, dry and chapped, and as a result I am always keen to try out something that can remedy the situation. I have a huge stock of lip products, but I don’t use majority of them because most of them don’t do what they …

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 …

Atopalm MLE (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion) is an intense moisturizing cream, targeting those with sensitive skin, eczema, and postoperative procedures.

The MAC lipstick in Cut a Caper is a limited edition lipstick from the MAC Tartan Tales collection which is out for the holidays of 2010. It is probably still available at your local MAC stores or counters, and if not, I’m sure you can find it online somewhere …

I bought the 50ml one for SGD 2 at Watsons because I forgot to pack in my usual moisturizer before flying to Vienna in late spring, as I have been told that the dry climate there can make my skin crack if not properly moisturized.
The tiny packaging is perfect …

I bought an eyeshadow from Avon a couple months ago, it was the Avon Color Eyeshadow Quad Blushing Raisins color pallet. It is a small black compact with four eyeshadow colors in it.
What initially drew my eye to this in the weekly Avon booklet was the colors. …

Dry skin and any other skin type for that matter needs to be exfoliated regularly to remove the build up of dead skin cells. The body shop brush allows me to exfoliate my skin while also removing toxins from my body.

I have always loved the Garnier line and when I needed a new day face cream I purchased Garnier Skin Naturals Fresh Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 15 for just $6.99 CDN down from $12.99CDN at my local drug store. I thought the price certainly couldn’t be beat, and I …

Like every discriminating consumer, there are some products or trademarks you wouldn’t dare touch, let alone hand your money over. I too have products banned for good, because of misgivings about the products’ quality. Take this sunblock (and Neutrogena) for example. I almost shrink back …

I am always up for trying new brands so instead of using my usual Garnier gradual tanning product, I thought I would try this Sun Shimmer To Go self-tanning wipe from the Rimmel brand. Having applied it this morning —“ and now looking at the final results that …

The Highland Soap Company is based in the small, though quite busy, village of Spean Bridge, which lies on the A82 main road in the western Highlands of Scotland, not all that far from Fort William. You would never know it to look at the label of their Lemongrass …

I purchased the Hairagami Le Loom barrette after having fairly good luck with the original Hairagami tool. This barrette is a combination of many barrettes clipped together and stacked vertically for a variety of hair styles that slightly mimics the look of a braid.
The barrettes seem cheap in …

I’m quickly becoming a huge fan of L’Oreal products. A few years ago I really wouldn’t have given their products much thought at all, because they used to be more pricey. I would either say they were a high-end supermarket product, or a low-end department store product, but either …

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 …

I previously tried the matching V05 Herbal Escapes Ocean refresh with revitalizing sea minerals shampoo, and fell completely in the love with it. So to say I wasn’t hesitant when picking up a bottle of conditioner for only a dollar at dollar tree.
During the first use I was greeted …
