I have been practicing aromatherapy in earnest for the past ten years: since December 1999. (Before that I was a keen student of this facinating discipline.) And I never have less than 30 - 40 different essential oils at hand in my home.
I am mentioning my personal experience with aromatherapy …

A shopping trip to Sephora for me always involves spending too much money but coming away with at least one new product to try out. During my latest visit to my favourite beauty store, I checked out a line of beauty products that I had heard of before, called …

Lakme is a reputed international cosmetic producing company. It produces eyeliner named Insta-Liner eyeliner. It is liquid in state and comes in a small bottle resembling the shape of a nail polish bottle. It has a fine application brush. They produce it in only pure black shade. I first …

Recently, everyone, including myself, is OBSSESED with liquid lipsticks, especially matte ones, and the reason for that I think is because they’re the most comfortable lip product I’ve ever tried on. I love a good gloss, and it definitely has had its moment, but with matte liquid lipstick, you just …

I purchased this facial moisturizer because it was on sale recently. The regular price is about $12, but it was on sale for $9. I had been looking for a facial moisturizer that also contained sunscreen since I spend a lot of time out in the sun …

I saw this Avon True Color Blush in Peach when I scanned through the shelves in a local Avon store and its color really attracted my attention that I decided to buy it right away.

I love red-coloured nail polish, and it brings out the color and contrast even more when you have fair skin, so I tried out this shade and it’s a crème-based nail polish that looks really glossy and sheen when applied. The color is quite reddish with a tinge of …

I reviewed another nail place at the Oviedo Marketplace. I didn’t care too much for them. But! Nail Elite, they are on the other side of the mall and what a difference!
As soon as I walked in, a very friendly girl walked up and asked me how I was …

This cheap variant is good for fighting dandruff. I don’t have dandruff, but it works great for me. It won’t necessarily smoothen hair especially is you don’t have dandruff. I actually prefer this more than the yellow-labeled variant with Amino Collagen Plus. The fragrance is much the same as …

I adore the smell of vanilla, it’s so feminine and comforting that it really is (to me) the nicest smell going. I’ve used lots of vanilla bath and body products but have never been as thrilled with the fragrances as I am when, say, I burn a vanilla candle. …

Q-tip is, arguably, the secret to achieving near-perfect makeup. It’s the unsung tool that every makeup buff uses. Apart from the generic use of cleaning one’s ears, I turn to the Studio Basics dual tip paddle/point applicator, a special q-tip made for applying cosmetics.
The Studio Basics dual …

I always have a hard time finding a deodorant that I can use because there are very few that are just deodorant without anti perspirant. So, when I found this roll on deodorant a couple years ago I had to buy it and fell in love with it. …

This meant I …

This was an Asian find amongst a bunch of cosmetics I hauled from a duty-free section not so long ago. It’s a moisturizing body mist from the Korean label: The Face Shop which as far as my knowledge extends makes me think of nail lacquers. The brand’s …

Freeman Beauty is a name that I always see at Wal-Mart. And therefore, have never really thought that it was the best idea to want to buy something to do with my skin from there unless it had a bigger name like Olay or Clean & Clear. Until I …

There have been successful hybrids of lip conditioners and lipsticks, as far as the ones I’ve tried in the past. But nothing stands more superior to Lancome’s juicy rouge. This succulent lipstick is lancome’s version of a 2 in 1 lip color, so to speak. I …

I bought this product for two reasons. First, it was an amazing 79 cents at Walgreens. Second, the matching moisturizing Shampoo which I purchased at the same time recommended I’d have better results if I used both.
I purchased the shampoo to help clarify and clean off build up from …

I kept seeing these advertisements for L’Oreal Magic Perfecting Base Face Primer on television and got really intrigued. Finally curiosity got the best of me and I went to my local drug store to ask my cosmetician some questions. I wanted to know if it was really true that …

So I recently purchased the quad for $6.99 from Walgreens. At a moderate price with great potential, I didn’t mind picking it up. The quad features four glamorous colors; white, black, pink, and silver-all but the white with a subtle shimmer. Nonetheless, I was extremely excited to try this …

This Clinique Long Last Lipstick is one of the most expensive lipsticks I have ever purchased, costing £13, but it was worth it. I have used Clinique skin care before but never tried their make up range, but I was impressed with this. You can get a …

I have a problem lately and it is severe lip dryness. I would say that one of the culprit is my toothpaste and changes in weather conditions. Taking care of your lips is like taking care of your face. If you have some special night regimen for your face …

When I wanted to protect my skin and face from the sun this summer is used Aveeno Active Naturals Continous Protection Sunblock Face Lotion SPF 100. It did protect my skin very, very well from the sun, but it cause me a lot of acne breakouts.
This sunblock lotion …

The only acne wash I had for a while was a facial scrub called St. Ives Apricot Scrub Invigorating that I only would use about once or twice a week. I didn’t want to use it everyday because it exfoliates my skin and I felt like the scrub was …

I don’t really like the dryness on my feet. I should explain why I have dry feet: it’s because I like to walk around the house barefooted, especially in those days when I work from home. And sometimes, I take a walk in the morning and noon barefooted. The …
