OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Nail Polish
I love this nail polish! Now I’m not really to wear black nail polish in this day and age, I’m more of a preppy bright pink nail polish type of girl. I haven’t worn black nail polish since I was in High School! But the one day I was …
Burt’s Bees Honey Lip Balm
I received this specialty lip balm tube out of a Burt’s Bees variety pack. I am especially partial to the regular Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, and was curious as to how this variation (”Honey”) could match up. In my opinion, it did not.
It has a much different scent …
Garnier Light Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream
Generally when I want to pick and use something for my skin at night, I always go for anti-aging or moisturizing night creams because it is always submitted that the best way to nourish skin is at night time when your system is at rest. However, one time, I did …
Avon Invisable Light Concealer
I got this as a free gift when buying another product and I have to say I will be buyiing it again when my one runs out.
This only costs £6.50 at the normal price and you get a lot of use out of this.
Avon has become more popular …
Annayake Crème Equilibrante SPF8
I have a combination skin at the moment which makes it quite difficult for me to take care of my skin properly. My skin is dry in some areas and oily in some parts. I got the Annayake balancing cream to hopefully correct my skin condition. I have tried …
Nichido Final Powder
I just bought Nichido’s Final Powder in ‘Creamy Glow’. I love it! It’s not pricey (you can buy it for less than $5 or so). At first I was hesitant to buy it, because I have sensitive skin and I often get rashes with er… cheap products. But the …
Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Formula
I have tried a number of different anti-acne products before, from creams to lotions to tablets. Most of them worked to a certain degree, and one of the many products I tried include Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Formula from Alpha Hydrox. I bought Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Formula online for around $12 …
Bottega Verde Hand cream with sweet Almond
When I was little I never like to put the cream on my hands because all the creams were so greasy that my skin didn’t absorbed them very well so I had to stay with my hands in the air for minutes and as I was just a child …
Josie Maran Earth Day Essentials Green-On-The-Go Kit
I had never tried Josie Maran before; apparently it’s a very well selling and award winning line. When I saw the darling Green-On-The-Go kit advertised for Earth Day, I couldn’t resist. I’m always on the lookout for green, Earth-friendly, and eco-chic products, and this kit was a great investment.
The …
Conair InfinitiPro 1 in. Ceramic Flat Iron
Of all the different ways I style my hair, straightening it is one of my favorites! I used to think you had to pay a small fortune to get a quality hair iron. Not wanting to pay a lot of money, I originally settled for a cheap …
MAC Sugar Sweet Collection
Once you go MAC, you never go back. At first, I was daunted by the high prices of this premier cosmetics line; but seeing is believing. I fell in love with MAC’s new spring collection, Sugar Sweet. The colors are lush and fresh, both delicate and opulent.
First in the …
Organic Root Stimulator Oilive Oil Nourishing Sheen Spray
This spray is meant to give more shine to your hair and it does do that, it makes my hair really shiny and it smells very nice. I was apprehensive of it smelling quite vile and potent, however it smells very sweet and has a hint of olive oil …
Emjoi Tweeze
I bought the Emjoi Tweeze Automatic Tweezer System as an additional epilator to have for removing facial hair after home electrolysis. I needed one small enough to handle on the delicate facial areas. I like some things about this: the cost, the ease of use and the …
Dove beauty bar
Throughout my life time I’ve tried many different brands of body soap, everything from generic to the some of the more pricier body care products. I’ve even tried high end designer body care products to see how they compare with regular brands like Dove and Oil of Olay, brands …
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
I got this in the mail the other day as a present. My old moisturizer was working fine, however, I was on search for something much better. I almost went into Sephora the other day and bought a bottle of hope in a jar by philosophy. I was also …
Right Guard Extreme Mens Deodorant
Right Guard Extreme mens deodorant works very good. It is just an all around awesome deodorant.I am very impressed with the wetness protection and of course the odor control. Just put some on in the morning and you are good to go. I am also thrilled with the sport …
Revlon ColorStay Lipstick
I was really looking forward to trying this lipstick. Because I live in Canada, once the ads in the US came on, I had to wait for quite a while before it was available here. It comes in a tube, much like a regular lipstick and glides …
Coppertone Sun Block
I grew up with Coppertone sun care products, and they are a trusted member of our family during summer season. I have very fair skin, and burn easily and rely on sun block to avoid the skin cancer to which my family is prone.
What attracted me to this family …
L’Oreal Japan Feria 3D Hair Color in 82
I have had colored hair since I was in high school. I have naturally dark brown hair, and a shiny one at that. I have very limp, but healthy and shiny hair. Since the day I started experimenting with hair color, I have stuck with the L’Oreal brand of …
Yves Rocher Serum Vegetal Day Cream
I’ve been using Yves Rocher for sometime now, and as a beauty addict, I totally love their line! Today I reviewing their anti-aging day cream for women over 30. Their beautician said that it has apple oligosides and other natural ingredients to help smooth out wrinkles and let skin …
Uncle Harry’s Lavender Shampoo
I am very opposed to chemicals and foaming agents in my hair care products, and frequently try different organic shampoos and conditioners. So far, Uncle Harry’s Lavender Shampoo is one of my favorites.
There are many pros to Uncle Harry’s Lavender Shampoo. First of all, it can be …
Olay All Day Mositure Lotion SPF 15
Awhile ago I needed a facial moisturizer and everyone kept telling me that Olay All Day Moisture Lotion SPF worked wonders and felt nice on the skin. So what do I do, I go out and get some and give it a try. I must say it wasn’t that …
Avon 60’s Mod Body Spray
This is another Body Spray version of a Perfume. I wouldn’t say I like to wear a matching Perfume to a Body Spray as usually I mix and match, but if you really like a certain scent then it is nice to wear the same thing I would say. …
Suave Strawberry Shampoo
I love Suave products, mostly because they are a great value. You get an inexpensive product that is usually as good as something you would pay top dollar for. Suave does a good job at selling quality products at low prices. I am rarely disappointed with …
Cover Girl Lash Exact Liquid Liner Pen
I normally don’t wear liquid eye liner because I haven’t really found a great one that I really like. I normally wear cream eye liner which I think is really great and the best kind of eye liner to use and it definitely always comes through for me and …
John Frieda Hair Straightening Spray
I have long very thick and naturally wavy hair and when it is raining or humid out that hair turns into a frizzy fluffy unmanageable nightmare. A couple of years ago I discovered a product in the hair care aisle at my local Wal Mart called “Straight Answer” …
Maybelline Volume Express Cat Eyes Mascara in Very Black
I was looking around the cosmetics area of the department store when I passed by the Maybelline counter. I’ve been looking for a nice new mascara, since my old one has been running out and drying up. I was initially attracted to the Maybelline Volume Express Cat …

Sebastian for Thicker Hair
Oh my gosh! What an awesome product this is. I had been struggling with fine thin hair all my life. I tried everything. I remember years ago when I first started fixing my hair, I used beer to set my hair in curlers. While it gave wonderful body to …
MAC Shale eyeshadow
I originally acquired MAC Shale eyeshadow in a palette several years ago. However, I did not really try it because in the pan it just looked like a boring purple and I do not wear purple eyeshadow by itself very often. One day recently, however, I was …
Suave for Men Dandruff 2 in 1 Shampoo/Conditioner
My husband has used Suave for Men, Dandruff 2 in 1 Shampoo/Conditioner, and, as much as I like the Suave brand, I must say that it didn’t help much to get rid of dandruff. It was slightly reduced, but did not go away. The shampoo’s active ingredient is zinc …
Diorshow Iconic Mascara by Christian Dior
Diorshow Iconic Mascara is definitely one of the more expensive, high end mascara brands. It promises to “lengthen, curl, and define” and I’ve found that it lives up to its claims. I really like the wand in terms of the spacing of the bristles and the general shape. This …
Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion
For my birthday, my friend gave me a gift card to Bath and Body Works. I went there a few weeks ago and decided to try out their anti-bacterial hand lotion because it sounded like a really interesting concept. Basically, it is kind of like hand sanitizer, only it …

I got this Casuelle Cacaobutter Stick from my sister in law, when I traveled to my own country for Summer holiday. I told her that I had a problem with dry lips after few days arriving in the country.
The next day, she came to me and brought me this …
MAC Cosmetics Lipglass
I normally don’t wear much MAC make-up. I am not too familiar with their cosmetics line. I have a couple of their lipsticks, but I started to pay closer attention to MAC after they released their Give Me Liberty of London collection this past spring. I was particularly interested …
Amul milk powder
I am a busy house wife and I like to use the things which are really good for my children, dear friends recently or luckily I got this product from amul industries, called as Amul milk powder, it has all the goodness of milk or even more, so when …
Ivory Bar Soap, simply Ivory
Ivory bar soap comes in a four pack for about three bucks. Overall it is a good quality soap to use on a daily basis. In my opinion you get what you pay for with this product. While this soap is not the best I have tried, it’s good. …
Vanilla & Co.’s Dessert in a Bottle lotion in Strawberry Cheesecake
I recently bought a lotion that’s locally made here in the Philippines, and the brand name is Vanilla & Co. The name itself sounds yummy, right? Sounds promising, too. They have whipped buttercreams, lotions and a lot more. And they have over 20-30 scents to choose from. I was …
Sulfur 8 Anti Dandruff Hair and Scalp Conditioner
I have been suffering from dry scalp and dandruff for as long as I remember. I have found some products that work decently, but nothing that has just wowed me. I was in search of something that would get rid of my dandruff forever. It seems like everything I …
Clairol Natural Instincts Color
I used Clairol Natural Instincts Color with a black hair dye as a way to color my hair a few months ago. It cost 120 pesos from a local store and I liked this product after all.
This is a good hair dye or coloring product. It actually …
Walgreens Moisturizing Bath Beads Vitamin E
I don’t usually use bath beads or bath salts, mostly because it ends up making a mess in my bathtub. The last time I used bath beads, the skin of the beads didn’t dissolve all the way so I had a bath full of those half-melted skins and they …
Garnier Anti Dark Circle Eye Roller
My dark circles have always been a cause of great concern to me for quite a few years now. The fact that I happen to spend a lot of time in front of the computer only worsens the condition, thereby making look just like a patient out of the …
Stila One Step Makeup
I recently purchased the Stila One Step Makeup. It basically is supposed to give all of the benefits of using a primer, foundation, concealer, and powder all in one product. Although I have heard hype millions of times about one step miracle products, I have never actually found one …
Johnsons Baby Bath (Blue)
I have dry skin and so I resort to using moisturizing products. I have tried Dove, Aveeno and other mild and moisturizing body washes. I still am open to trying a lot of other moisturizing products but then I was able to try out Johnson’s Baby Bath, and this …
St. Ives Apricot Scrub
I am utterly shocked by how many people swear by St. Ives Apricot Scrub. This is something that has often baffled me because the product is not only ineffective, it is actual harmful to your skin. Those little beads used as a scrubbing substance, irritate and tear your skin, …
Personna Magnum Razor
Ever since I started wet shaving on a regular basis, I have made every effort to find a razor that both worked and was affordable.
I found one recently that worked. But, the replacement blades were actually pretty darn expensive and were getting a bit harder to budget. So, I …
