The Body Shop Hemp Body Butter
When my skin is dry, and I go to shave my legs even with a moisturizing shaving cream I still get razor burn. Dry skin is something I have battled since I was a teenager. It flakes, it turns red and I breakout in eczema rashes that itch and …
John Frieda Anytime Volume Refresher
I recently purchased the John Frieda Anytime Volume Refresher. From the name alone, this does not seem like it would be a dry shampoo product, but that is exactly what it is. I was initially very confused when looking at this product on the shelf, but when I found …
Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover
Waterproof mascara can be a real problem to remove. It is important to get a good brand. I would recommend Clarins (one of my favorite skincare brands besides Juvena and RoC) Instant Eye Make-up Remover.
This remover has oily consistency which some might find not very pleasant (particularly when it …
Essence Multi Dimension XXXL Shine Nail Polish
I got the 67 Just Shout! named color which basically is a pastel pinky orange colour - a really great colour in my opinion, works well with anything since it is quite subtle.
This nail polish dries up really quick, nails are touch safe in about a minute and that …
Bigen Speedy Hair Coloring Kit
I didn’t really like Bigen because it was my granny’s favorite hair coloring product once upon a time. But the brand has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years, coming up with formulations, colors and packaging that were more attractive to a wider consumer market. Hence, my …
Schwarzkopf Bonacure Repair Rescue Sealed Ends
My split ends have gotten out of control. It is not to the point where I am afraid to apply any heat tools to my hair for fear of permanently breaking off the tips. I have been searching for a cure for my split ends for ages and although …
IWhite Korea Nose Pack
Who wants to have a skin free of blackheads and whiteheads? Of course the answer is, all of us! I want a clear and youthful skin, but sometimes I will to have it for having a lack of discipline. When I look in the mirror, the blackheads and whiteheads …
Golden Rose, Gray Hair Touch-up Stick - Black
I have problem with pre-mature grey hair and it started when I was in my teens. Although initially I used chemical hair color for a few times I realized that it was not a good idea especially if I was going to use it on a regular basis …
Victoria’s Secret Ultra Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream
Like most of Victoria’s Secret lotions and creams, the Strawberries and Champagne has a nice lingering scent. It is one of the few scents in the collection that is sophisticated yet cheerful, fresh and light. The scent is that of strawberry sweet with bitter musky notes from the champagne; …
Lip Vitamins Lip Balm
I bought my Lip Vitamins Lip Balm at a local dollar store for around a dollar. The Lip Vitamins Lip Balm comes in Vanilla Bean scent, and has a smooth, non-greasy feel to its application. I think the vanilla smell in this lip balm is …
Dior Show Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum & Primer
I recently purchased the Dior Show Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum & Primer from my local Sephora. One tube of this serum cost about thirty dollars. Some may think that I am crazy for shelling out that much money for one “silly” makeup product, but I had heard so many …
Nail Elite salon
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 …
Scar Esthetique Scar Creme
I bought Scar Esthetique Scar Creme for $24 online. This product was a multi purpose one, in that, it can get rid of various kinds of scars. It was 2 oz. Like other months passed, I again had a few acne scars because of constant itching. So I wanted …
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Radiant Touch
My oh my, this little baby cost me a whopping $42! Would I repurchase? Not with that price. Anyway, this is a decent product. Because this is called a luminizing pen, I think it’s actually supposed to highlight and brighten the skin, rather than hide it, so I used …
CoverGirl Outlast Double Lip Shine in Sheerly Nude
I purchased CoverGirl Outlast Double Lip Shine because I was looking for a lip gloss that actually stays on for a period of time. I love the sheer look of lip gloss, but it wears off almost as soon as you apply it to your lips. I …
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
I have a confession to make right off the bat: I didn’t buy this product, it was a “free-with-purchase” bonus. And I can tell you, its a good thing I didn’t pay for it, because I would be REALLY MAD right now if I had forked over …
Lush Soak and Float Solid Shampoo
I once had very bad dandruff. It was like you see on those Head & Shoulder commercials. I would literally leave flakes of dry scalp everywhere. It was pretty disgusting and I also lost a ton of hair due the problem, along with bad smelling hair. I tried a …
Green Cross Ethyl Alcohol with Moisturizer
I am a nurse and a mother at the same time, which makes me very careful when it comes to cleanliness especially in handling food. We do routine handwashing and scrubbing at work yet I always make handy my Green Cross Ethyl Alcohol with Moisturizer 70% solution. Like any …
Palmolive Natural Intensive Moisture Shampoo
I used to lather shampoo and then conditioner alone before as I feel it’s much better and the hair can absorb the products alone directly, but as my hair was falling out from all that conditioner, I decided to buy a shampoo that had a conditioner as well. I …
Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Refining Tonic Astringent
Having enlarge pores is more than a skin problem. It makes your face look unattractive. I remember before that me and my best friend have the same concern, we both have enlarge pores. We were both frustrated at our skin’s unsightly appearance. My problem with oily skin is …
Dove Beauty Bar
Dove is an undeniably reputable brand of products that almost everyone has tried at some point or another. At any point in time, I’ve got tons of Dove products scattered all throughout my bathroom. The latest addition to my Dove collection is the Dove Beauty Bar. It is such …
Caroline Eye Shadow
Love it! I find the small and easy to grip packaging really great! I do appreciate the clear flip top and also the bottom of the container opening to a mirror and storing an applicator. I find it so useful because everything I need is include in the container …
Color Club Under the Mistletoe
I love Christmas collections. I just love them. Actually I have a collection sitting at home just completely comprised of Christmas nail polish colors. Anyway, Color Club is one of those brands that is usually hit and miss, but this time I thought it was a hit. This set …
Avon Tropics Shower Gel
I certainly have a thing for Shower Gels, and this is one of my favourites out there. I have been using this one for years and although I keep trying new ones, I always end up back to my old favourite.
The 1 thing i’m not all that keen on …
Eskinol DermaClear-C Overnight Pimple Gel
When I got back from travelling, I noticed I had 2 ugly bumps on my face. Surprisingly, they were parallel to each other. One zit was on my left cheek, another one was on my right cheek. It was terrible I felt like a joke was played on me. …
Hard Candy Lip Gloss in FLower Power
I can’t say I’m really a big fan of Hard Candy. I do buy their products occasionally, but I like a lot of other brands better. I wouldn’t have bought this lipgloss if I hadn’t found this at T J Maxx for a discounted price. I didn’t really have …
Kiwi Blow Serum
Kiwi Blow Serum is a styling product you apply after you wash your hair. I like to put it on directly in the shower before using a towel to wrap my hair in. I find that the product makes my hair easier to comb through, as well as offering …
Neutrogena Body Lotion Light Sesame Formula
I was looking for a good replacement for my lotion. I have numerous lotions that I have stock in my cabinet and I have barely touched them. The reason being is that the weather has been too humid these days that I have yet to not melt under the …
H&M Shimmer Body Lotion in Purple Passion
People flock H&M stores for their affordable clothes. If given a chance, I’d go there again to shop for clothes and for clothes alone. Wait. Had I known they sell cosmetics too, I would get something like the H&M shimmer body lotion. My aunt gave …
Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturizer
I recently purchased the Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturizer. It was $65 and I truly believe that I wasted my money. I seriously wish that I could still return this to get that money back. For that price, this should have been liquid gold. Instead, it is a terribly …
Katy Perry Purr Perfume
I was walking by an Ulta Beauty Supply store in a mini shopping mall when I first saw the Katy Perry Purr Perfume through the window. I decided to go in and try a sample because the bottle looked really cool. The shape of the bottle is what attracted …
SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie
Before traveling to an island in the Caribbean, I decided it would be best to let my natural curls come out instead of fussing with a straight iron. Because I flat iron my hair daily, I knew it would be best to get some sort of moisturizing, curl-enhancing product …
Belo Moisture Rich Whitening Toner (for Normal to Dry Skin)
While shopping for beauty products, I remembered I needed a new toner so I took that chance to scout for a trusted brand that would match my normal to dry skin. What I had in mind was to buy a L’Oreal brand, the one with milk ingredient but as …
Philosophy Purity High-foaming Daily Cleanser
The beaded cream cleanser I once used technically didn’t match the new electronic bath brush in my bathroom. I was trying to make sense of the bath brush and see how it would fare on my face, complemented with a good facial soap. I bumped into Philosophy’s …
The Conair facial sauna system
I bought the cutest thing a while back that I have to talk about it to everyone. I bought the Conair facial sauna system for myself because I got so tired of paying someone else to give me a facial. I was unhappy about the fact that they weren’t …
Old Spice Body Wash
I have always been a bar soap guy and have avoided using body washes because I felt they were a bit too girly. However, I did decide to try a bottle of the Old Spice Body Wash after I got it for my birthday. I’m very impressed.
For one, I …
Givenchy Le Prismissime Visage
This is one of my favorite from Givenchy. I sometimes spoil myself by indulging in one of the higher end product that I usually keep away from buying. Givenchy’s one of the brand that I truly trust is a value for money kind of product. I couldn’t find any …
L’Oreal Infallible Liquid Make-Up
I visited with my sister last week and we have the same skin tone. I tried her L’Oreal Liquid make-up and am definitely going to be buying it.
I have to be careful about what make-up I use as many make me break out and I have acne scarring so …
Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
I used a lot of acne products in the past because I would get a lot of acne. I tried a lot of BP treatments, acne kits and other types of treatments, and one of them which worked well for me was an acne scrub Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily …
Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
I have always thought that scrubs were abrasive and tough on the face so for many years, I have refused to even try one. It was not until I came across Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub that I became a convert. On a company outing, my friend let me …
Yves Rocher 24H Anti-Perspirant cruelty-free deodorant
It’s pretty hard to find a good cruelty-free deodorant that actually works. I swear, in the past 3 years I have tried all the organic deodorants that you can find on IHerb,at Whole Foods and other vegan-friendly stores. I’m not saying they are bad, but I’m one of those “lucky” …
Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush in Candy Baby
I have a hard time finding fragrances that my husband and I both like. I have tried the sophistocated(sp?) Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and everything in between! I have even gone the drugstore route and tried Love’s Baby Soft, but couldn’t handle the way it was presented, the spray can, …
Pantene Pro-V Total Care Conditioner
I just bought a conditioner for my very dull hair. I have thin, dull, limp hair and I have been using different hotel shampoos for the past few days and already I can see that it is taking a toll on my hair. I was not able to purchase …
Neutrogena Acne-prone transparent facial bar
I purchased the product with my desperation to end this seemingly random breakouts. My face was in a better condition before I initially used it. I only had a few blemishes.
After a week of using it, my face did not recover instead it was made worse. I noticed very …
Dior Show Mascara
Soma mascaras are designed to make your lashes longer, some are designed to make your lashes thicker, curlier, or thicker. Dior Show Mascara does all of these at the same time. The reason this mascara has a cult following is because it actually works and it is worth every …
TRESemme - Tres Gel Extra Firm Control
I bought this product in the travel size, hoping it would do what most gels can’t, hold my hair in place. A friend recommended that I try it, because it keeps her curls in. I was hoping it would do the same for me as well.
I wouldn’t say …
Oil of Olay Regenerist Hydrating Night Cream
A few years back I read an review of the new Regenerist line from Oil of Olay. A loyal Oil of Olay user, I was interested in this new product. The claims were pretty amazing. The Regenerist line was a cell generating product that would constantly …
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
I absolutely love Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. My mother began buying a similar product by Clinique when I was younger. I loved the product but, being a lotion (cream), it did leave my skin feeling greasy at times. Then Clinique introduced another version of the product, but this …
