I love curling my hair. But the problem is my hair doesn’t always hold it for too long. An hour would pass and the curls in my hair would be gone. It’s really disappointing, especially if I want to look presentable with my friends when we’re out or when …

I am obsessed about my facial skin. I think it’s because I wasn’t blessed with good skin to begin with and so I exert extra, extra effort to make my skin look at least normal. I really have bad skin, name it: acne, clogged pores, flaky skin, broken capillaries, …

This foundation is like a 2 in 1 since it contains the miracle broth ingredients found in the La Mer cream as well as good coverage in terms of color. It provides a smooth almost airbrushed look, and the color provides medium coverage so it can cover rosacea and …

I love Laura Mercier products. I have owned so many of them and they have never let me down. They are typically on the expensive side, but always worth it. The newest addition to my collection of Laura Mercier products is the Laura Mercier Mosaic Shimmer Bloc. Initially, I …

This is the era of the tanned body. Everyone wants to have that perfect tan like George Hamilton all year long. And since the sun does not shine all year long here in Kentucky, we have to go to tanning beds or use tanning lotion.
Since my skin …

These Lancome glosses are fun, because they come in all kinds of gorgeous colors, and they are encased in the cutest little tubes. I got a chance to try them when I bought a special holiday set of eight mini glosses. Apparently Lancome puts out a different set every …

Before I purchased Secret Garden Refreshing Body Mist by Victoria’s Secret, I had never experienced a spray or fragrance that actually hydrated the skin. I didn’t actually believe that a scented mist could nourish skin at all. This wasn’t even the reason that I purchased my body mist-I purchased …

The Neostrata Bionic eye cream was something a dear friend of mine recommended as a cosmetic dermatologist. My mom also swears by Neostrata’s vitamin K capsules, an intensive treatment for sagging under-eye skin. Because of their preaching of Neostrata as the road-to-damascus when it comes to eye …

I wasn’t sure how well this Tarte Cosmetics Glam Gams Bronzing Leg Stick was going to work for me because I have very pale skin, and I figured any kind of artificial color was going to be glaringly obvious. I can’t tan to save my life and most fake …

I have been a big fan of Eyes Lips Face or E.L.F. as most girls know the brand. They have some of the most inexpensive makeup products I have ever purchased and though they are not of the same quality as MAC or Sephora products, they are good enough …

The Product
The container of this eyeliner reminds me of a black coloring pen that I used before during elementary and high school.

One may think that getting a mascara from a particular cosmetic brand is enough. The most prestigious brands may advertise huge celebrity faces but ultimately the taste of the pudding in the eating as the classic saying goes. In my experience, trying that particular brand and experiencing it myself …

THE PRICE:
These disposable razors cost $2.99 for a …

But when it comes …

My mom told me this was a good brand, but honestly I’ve never heard of it. Apparently it was also made in Japan and one of Kanebo’s products, so I agreed and used this one which she had bought for me. The only problem was the shade wasn’t right …

Unlike other anti-frizz serums, Citre Shine’s version is very thick and oily. Thus, you’ll only need a small amount on your hair. It comes in a gatorade-like packaging when you pop the top and squeeze out the right amount you want. Because the serum is very thick, you can …

For the first time I will continue using one brand of shower gel and that shower gel is none other than The Body Shop Olive Shower Gel. I actually have bad experiences with shower gel. I tested three shower gels of different brands in the past. Those were …

I have tried countless self-tanners over the years. Some give me a super-dark look, and sometimes that can look fake. So in the winter time, I usually try to find a self-tanner that is more subtle. So when I came across Nivea Sun-Kissed Skin Firming Gradual …

It has seemed, over the years, that I just can’t catch a break. If I’m not dealing with acne in my youth, and occassional blemishes in my adulthood, then it’s also these awful dark circles under my eyes that make me, with my pale skin, look like a vampire, …

Since I am conscious of the sun I tried a lot of sunscreens many more times than I can remember. In fact, I’d just grab whatever sunscreen I see in the market, and what’s so disappointing is they’re all the same. They’re really all the same because of texture (they’re …

This is a relatively new facial moisturizer that came out, and I have to say right off the bat, I hate it. Elizabeth Arden is supposed to be an quality line, and although I am not a huge fan of Elizabeth Arden perfumes, I thought I’d give this a …
