Cosmetics Reviews
Ooh La Spa Body Butter
After indulging on a luxurious hot bath with Ooh La Spa Body Wash, before drying off my skin, I apply this Ooh La Spa Body Butter all over my body. I love the subtle scent that it emits and the way it soothes my skin and nurtures it. …
Becca Brazilian Bronzing Sheen
Becca is one of those cosmetic brands that make heavy use of glistening silicones. I remembered how a lot of glossy magazines acclaimed the brand’s shimmering perfector a few years back. Now I think I’ve moved on from putting shimmers on my face, this time, I have …
Lander Skin Protecting Vitamin E lotion
Good skin means you get to take good care of it. You spend time exfoliating, scrubbing the hard to reach, dark and rough areas, see the dermatologist every 2 weeks and avoiding the scorching heat. Then you realize you have done everything that you could think of just to …
L’Oreal Paris thickening shampoo for men
I love L’Oreal cosmetics and facial care products, and a couple of weeks ago I paid $4.99CDN for a 385ml bottle of L’Oreal Paris thickening shampoo for men. I actually didn’t notice that this shampoo is marketed to men when I bought it at my local drug store. I …
Tresemme Smooth and Silky Conditioner
I have a best friend who swears by the Tresemme line. She says that the company’s products are just as good as expensive salon products. I have used a few of the lines products in the past but I must admit I never have been as impressed …
American Apparel Nail Lacquer in Butter
I really like American Apparel’s nail polishes. I like the colour range that they provide and the formulation of the polish itself. Although American Apparel’s had to pull their polishes off the shelves some time ago for various reasons, I haven’t had any problems with the polishes itself and …
Secret Clinical Strength - Prescription Strength Wetness Protection
As a victim of both sensitive skin and minor hyperhydrosis (uncontrollable sweat) I need a deodorant/antiperspirant that will minimize my smell and not let me leak a ridiculous amount under my underarms. I can’t use the prescription antiperspirants as they bother my underarms way too much. They …
Body Shape Cellulite Toning Lotion
I have been suffering with cellulite from I was a teenager and tried getting rid of them by exercising and using various cremes, however the result was very minimal and I gave up figuring I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. …
Aveeno Daily Moisturizer Ultra Calming SPF15
I was looking for a good moisturizer because even though I have acne-prone and oily skin, it tends to get dry in some parts especially on my t-zone. I was looking for a product which will not clog my pores which will in turn result to more break outs. …
CHI Turbo Big 2″ Straightener
Although the Chi Turbo straightener may be high in price, it is an excellent straightener and worth the price. I highly recommend this straightener because it has several different heat settings, it gets all the way up to 356 degrees Fahrenheit and as low as 176 degrees Fahrenheit. …
Garnier Lightening Peel Off Mask with Pure Lemon Essence
I bought this sachet pack to test how it claims to enlighten my skin. It was with lemon so I got interested to buy it since I really like the smell of lemon on my face. Garnier Skin Naturals has a lot of skin products to offer and it …
Panama Jack Surf n’ Sport Sunblock Lotion
I love this sunblock lotion because it really works. What I really love about this lotion is that it is water proof. Wow! I thought when I discovered this fact. I can wear this lotion, go for a swim for well over forty-five minutes and this lotion still works …
Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Dusting Powder
I love the idea of all natural products, but the bottom line is that it has to also work. Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Dusting Powder is an alternative to your basic baby powder. The problem with most baby powder is that it has talc. Talc is …
Pureology Hydrate Shinemax Styling Serum
After what seemed like an endless saga of switching between hair styling products for my once curly hair, I took the opposite route and decided to have my permed hair straightened, yet again. I just dropped by the salon earlier and it was a long process my hair …
Lady Speed Stick Gel Antiperspirant Deodorant
I have very minimal sweating on my body, even when I am doing physical activity. But, for some reason, if I don’t wear deodorant, I have some really bad body odor. At first, I didn’t really care what kind I used, as long as it got the job done. …
MAC Hot Tahiti Lipstick
There are a lot of positives things that I can say about this lipstick. The main thing is that the color of it is fabulous. I am usually the type of person who backs away from red lipsticks since it is hard to find one that looks …
Badger Cocoa Butter Lip Balm
I bought this from an online store for $13 for pack of 3 cocoa butter lip balm. I love these lip balms. I think they are worth the price considering I have 3 stick of lip balms and the size of this lip balm is really huge not like …
Jordana Nail Polish
Ever since I was in high school I loved to polish and design my nails in all sorts of crazy and weird ways. One of the things I sometimes incorporated into my weird and crazy designs were the odd colours that you would sometimes (back then, it’s so common …
Veet Hair Removal Cream
Before, I only used razors to shave off unwanted hair on my body. The problem with razors is that I easily cut my skin. After using razor for quite some time, I noticed that I had a chicken skin on my underarms. One more thing, when the hair grows …
Garnier Style “Smoothing Milk”
I have long very thick and naturally wavy hair and when there is any sort of precipitation in the air my hair turns into a frizzy, badly tangled, unmanageable absolute nightmare. I have tried multiple hair care products in an effort to control those damp day devil …
Rubiglo - The Original Mineral Make-Up
In recent years we’ve all heard great things about natural mineral based cosmetics, and many of these brands are hailed as if they are something entirely new. Wonderful though they are, their prices can be pretty outlandish. Which got me thinking. Many years ago I worked as a make-up …
Trichomania Solid Shampoo
At first, I couldn’t even comprehend what the term Solid Shampoo meant. Then, even after a helpful LUSH employee explained to be how they are used, I didn’t get it. So, when I brought home my little chunk of Trichomania, I was clueless. Did it smell nice? Heck yeah! …
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 in Natural Mint
Wearing lipstick can fall in and out of habit, but I will never get tired of putting lip balm every night. One time, though, the tides changed, and I was to be found wearing a lipstick nearly every day since it came along. I was too fond …
MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural
I have always disliked wearing foundation because I find that I do not really need the extra coverage and it feels heavy and icky on my skin. Because I do not have the time to really touch up on my makeup throughout the day, I find that no matter …
Clairol’s Nice ‘n Easy Root Touch Up
Thanks to a tighter budget, I’ve had to resort to touching up the roots of my hair in between salon visits. I was scared to try this without a professional’s help. I’ve never colored my hair on my own. I’m used to spending $100-$200 dollars every quarter on professional …
Maybelline Eye and Lip Makeup Remover
I use makeup every day. I often use eye makeup, powder, concealer, blush and lipstick as my daily routine. I often use a waterproof mascara and eyeliner and so I need a good eye makeup remover to remove all the dirt and grime on my face at the end …
Liquid Shine Lip Tint
I got a these for only 3.95$ at Walmart. Great deal! I”m going back to the store tomorrow and buy all the other colors. The color of the lip tint I bought is a sexy bright electric rose pink. I find it to be a very unique bright sheer …
E.L.F (Eyes Lips Face) Mineral Booster - Sheer
Lately I had bought the Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong and have liked it so much that I find myself reaching for it more often than my other foundations. I won’t say it is easier to use a BB cream than using a liquid …
OPI Nail Lacquer
I absolutely love this stuff! OPI is a high quality nail polish brand, and my personal choice for nail polish. They have the best color selection of any nail polish brand, which is the most important to me. Some of my favorite colors are “Baguette Me Not” and “Yoga-ta …
Almay Intense I-Color Mascara
As much as the numerous Almay products claim to highlight the different eye colors, I haven’t seen much difference between this mascara, which is in —˜Black Emerald’ and other mascaras that I have in regular black and brown shades. This doesn’t mean that the mascara isn’t efficient or pretty, …
Philosophy When Hope is Not Enough Firming Serum
To be honest, this product is incredibly expensive, and I would never have considered purchasing it since it costs too much for my budget. However, I received this in a gift package, and I loved the idea of being able to receive all of the benefits of using …
Treasured Locks concealer
I usually buy concealer to cover my dark eye circles. I like to try different ones to try them out and see how they work. Treasured Locks concealer is very cheap and the saying goes you get what you pay for but sometimes you find yourself surprised, even by …
Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black
I don’t own that many products from Revlon, but honestly I’m going to start avoiding their eye products! Liquid eyeliner is not a cosmetic thing I use often, I like using my pencil better because I’m less likely to get smudging, and I feel that it’s much easier. I …
Infusium 23 Shampoo and Conditioner
I am not one to spend a lot of money on hair products - usually I stick with $2 bottles of suave. I recently discovered Infusium 23, however, and I’m never looking back. My hair of late has been completely fried because I used Sun-In, later dyed it, and …
Ayur Rajasthani Henna Powder
I have colored my hair for years, ever since I was about 16 years old. I also have had to cut my hair to get rid of the damage done to it by harsh chemicals in the hair coloring. I read about how a lot of women are using …
Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Treatment
I used to have lots of acne scars and insect bites. I bought Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Treatment for around $50 weighing 1 oz from Amazon, and I think it is pretty effective, just as good as other acne scar treatments I bought before. Let me share my review.
This …
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Lilac Pastelle
Revlon’s Lilac Pastelle Super Lustrous Lipgloss was originally from the Revlon Spring/Summer 2010 collection, but luckily, Revlon made the products from that collection permanent. I don’t normally go for purple lipstick or lipgloss obviously, because that is way over the top for me, but I always loved the Revlon …
Q-Tips Cotton Swabs
This review starts off on a bad note. The company for Q-Tips does not offer very much information about their product, which is very big with me. All I could get was a number 1-800-745-9279 and of coaurse the website qtips.com.
The product itself is an alright product for …
St.Ives Apricot Scrub
St. Ives Apricot Scrub says its for all skin types and is oil free but that is not the case for me. I do not recommend this product for anyone with oily skin like I have. To begin I do not like the scent, it says apricot …
Loreal Vive Pro Glossy Volume Shampoo + Conditioner
I am a fan of shampoos that make my hair look and feel healthy, silky, shiny, and if possible subtly volumized. I really had my heart set on buying a Sunsilk shampoo when I walked into my local Walgreens, but they didn’t stock Sunsilk at all! I was previously …
Eye’s Lips Face’s Nail Block
I have like having pretty natural looking nails for a while, ever since the disaster with the blue nail polish. In between French manicures, I try to give my nails a little bit of time to heal themselves and get stronger. The best way for that I have seen, …
Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion
This is another great product made by Gold Bond. I was so impressed once again with the wonderful results. I have to confess that I am guilty of trying new products even if I am not familiar with it. I decided to try this one because I trust …
Neutrogena Gentle Makeup Removal & Cleanser
It claims: The Neutrogena Gentle Makeup Removal & Cleanser is said to help wash away dirt, oil, and a full face of makeup including eye makeup. It is oil free and does not clog the pores. It leaves you with refreshingly clean skin.
The product: Its a clear light blue …
Alterna-Hemp Organics Spray Shine
Alterna-Hemp Organics Spray Shine, is a good product to try. It does wonders to your hair with just a few sprays. I really like everything about this shine spray. I really enjoy using this stuff after I straighten my hair. It makes the perfect finish. If you are looking …
Amuse Ultra Fine Eye Liner - Metallic Lavender
I always liked the idea of metallic eyeliners both liquid and pencil as they are really quick to apply and adds a dash of brightness and even give a dramatic look to eyes without having to spend time with eyeshadows.
While liquid eyeliners are great to line the upper eyelids …
Watson Energizing Eye Mask
When I looked on the mirror after my birthday last year, I noticed how dark the color around my eyes was. I looked like I have not slept for a day. That is what I looked like for every day, which makes me scared and me sad.
I used …
