Cle de Peau Concealer
I recently purchased the Cle de Peau Concealer. This was a very expensive purchase, but I have heard such wonderful things about this concealer that I could not help myself. I am a major makeup junkie and anything that gets rave reviews from other people usually intrigues me.
My general …
Dove Original Solid Anti-Perspirant Deodorant
Except for babies, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t use a deodorant or anti-perspirant because it is such a part of good grooming that no one should be able to let a day pass without applying it. Before, the sole purpose of an anti-perspirant was to keep underarms …
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser
I had never used Philosophy products before finding out from a friend about Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser. She claimed it was the best cleanser she had ever tried on her sensitive skin. She was always getting break-outs whenever she tries out new products but she said this particular one …
Scaraway C-Section Scar Treatment Strips
I bought ScarAway from Scaraway C-Section Scar Treatment Strips after I got a C-Section scar from a few months ago. A loft of anti scar products promise to remove your scars like creams and ointments, but this is the first one I tried because it is specifically made …
V05 Silky Experiences Champagne Kiss Conditioner
I’ve been a fan of Alberto V05 Natural Conditioners for a while now. Of all its variants, Silky Experiences Champagne Kiss is my favorite because it has the best scent compared to the rest of the variants. Maybe it also has to do with the fact that champagne is …
SkinMilk Body Lotion
I bought this body lotion mainly because I was looking for a moisturizing lotion which contains milk. I love using body products with milk in it because it made my skin healthy and well hydrated. So even if I have to pay a little bit extra, I didn’t mind …
Baby Subscreen Lotion
Some time ago I bought baby sunscreen. The name on the bottle says “Very water resistant baby sunscreen lotion. 45 SPF”. It also says that product is non-stinging for which reason purchased it.
On sunny summer day I applied this sunscreen lotion on both my kids and myself as …
Got 2 B Glued hair glue

L’Oreal Infallible lipstick
The first time I saw this lipstick was when I went to a friend’s house before we were going out, and I saw her doing her makeup using two lipsticks instead of one. When I asked her about it, she explained me about L’Oreal Infallible, and let me try …
Bye Bye Blemish Drying Lotion
Blemishes is one of the many skin conditions that I kept on experiencing. One of the things that I attribute this to is because I am always drenched in mud on the pitch while playing soccer. I develop blemishes on my face from time to time. I am proactive in …
Belo Essentials Whitening Soap
They say that one cheap remedy to make your skin lighten is to use a whitening soap. This is an idea every tan people like me have in mind. But I am starting to doubt the benefits of a whitening soap. I almost tried almost every inexpensive whitening soap …
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Gleam Cream Eyeshadow
I am not a big fan of this eye shadow. In general I prefer a shadow like any makeup to go on very light and natural so that I can layer to get the effect I wish for that particular day. With this makeup I have a …
Too Faced Lock Down Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow Set
This Too Faced Lock Down Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow set comes with the cream eye shadow shades in I’m Guilty and Jail Bait. I don’t necessarily like a lot of cream eye shadows because I don’t get great results most of the time, there’s only been a few …

SPREADING GERMS WITH ACRYLIC NAILS?

Maybelline Dream Mousse Foundation and Blush
When I bought Maybelline Dream Mousse after reading about it in a magazine, I expected it to be super light and fluffy like mousse and very spreadable. It just isn’t.
The foundation looks a little moussy when you open it, but when you put some on your fingers or a …
Wet and Wild Intuitive Blend Primer
My mom just gave me her Wet N Wild Intuitive Blend, Shade Adjusting Foundation-Primer (Auto-Adjustable Base) in Light shade. I guess she didn’t like it enough so she wanted me to try it for the product not to be put to waste. It comes in a beige squeezable tube …

Avon Lavender Bubble Bath
I do like the odd Bubble bath and wished that I went in for one more than what I do. I would love 1 every night, but it isn’t practical. I like to soak in 1 for about 40 minutes and due to a busy life then I feel …
Daggett and Ramsdell Facial Fade Moisturizing Cream
I was more than willing to give Daggett & Ramsdell another shot when I came by my local department store and found the facial fade moisturizing cream. I definitely enlist Daggett & Ramsdell to be among the must-try brands. I could only say positive things about their …
Neutrogena Rapid Clear Treatment Pads
Neutrogena Rapid Clear Treatment Pads was worth $21 when I bought it from a store online. I bought 3 jars, weighing 20 ml each, and each with 90 pieces. The jar had a nice design - it looked pretty simple, but pretty earthy as well. It is a set …

Biore Triple Action Astringent

Bloom Shadow Liner in Midnight Blue
This is my favorite eye liner du jour, one of those why-didn’t-they-think-of-this? creations. Actually, I wasn’t stunned that Bloom had come up with this pencil at first since the concept of fusing both liner and shadow has been around. I believe it’s the ingenious practicable application that …
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink Nail Polish

VMV Hypoallergenics Alcohol-Free Tender Toner
I have never used any toner in my life. The closest thing to toners that I have probably used is a facial cleanser or astringent. And I’ve only used product as my facial cleanser and that is the Eskinol Whitening Facial Cleanser. I have long asked myself if there …
Pierre Ricaud Cosmetics www.ricaud.com
The problem with this site is: It’s all French to me. Literally.
Dr Pierre Ricaud is a French cosmetics company, so you’d expect the main site to be in native language. And I should improve my language skills rather than rely on using English. But ordering a “pain au chocolate …
Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss (Candid)
