Collection 2000 Shimmer & Shade Face Bronzer Powder
I bought this Shimmer & Shade product because essentially I needed a new bronzer but it actually has three different colour shades —“ darker, medium and lighter —“ which you can use individually. In other words, you can use the palest shade to highlight browbones and cheekbones for …

Kate Jones Acne Zapping Gel
Tonight, I will be reviewing about a product which I bought from www.kate-jones.com which is called Acne Zapping Gel.
First of all, this product is deeply raved about in the Philippines and I will tell you exactly why.
I really like this product a lot because when applying it, a pimple …
Skin Shield Liquid Bandage
Earlier this year, my hands became so dry that the skin began to crack. This was a painful annoyance, but it wasn’t exactly the kind of injury you could just put a bandage on. This is when I found Skin Shield Liquid Bandage for all of my …
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep Moisture Treatment
I have heard and read plenty of raves about this product. I was able to snag one while at the mall. I’ve been wanting to try this but it’s only now that it became available here.
The price is reasonable for what it does and the amount of product …
Makeup For Ever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation
I really saved up for this foundation. Every liquid foundation I wear, including the one I’ve been using ever since, turns to a disaster, because of this humid weather. Foundation is, fundamentally, the foundation of a day’s makeup. On principle, I’d like to start with a …
University Medical Acne Free Severe Kit
I started using the University Medical Acne Free Severe Kit a few months after I had stopped using Pro Activ, before I used this though I used the original kit from University Medical Acne Free but I didn’t really get any results from it, so I started trying the …
St. Ives Intense Healing Advance Body Moisturizer
I recently bought St. Ives Intense Healing Advanced Body Moisturizer and have been using it for 3 weeks now and I must say it has done an excellent job with hydrating and protecting my skin. The moisturizer comes in a 18 fluid ounce bottle with a hand pump that …
Head and Shoulders Shampoo
This shampoo is the worst ever shampoo if you have coloured hair. I used to use it all the time as admittedly it would get my hair really clean and prevent any dandruff…
BUT! I colour my hair regularly as I do get grey hairs and this shampoo would strip …
O.P.I. Nail Polish in Red My Fortune Cookie
I’m not a big fan of painting my nails. I hardly ever do it but every now and then I feel inspired to be a bit of a girly girl. This was one of those times so I thought I’d try out the O.P.I nail polish in …

Chi Original Farouk GF1001 1″ Ceramic Flat Iron
I purchased a new Chi hair straightener flat iron about a month ago because I’ve heard so many raves about this flat iron, so I just had to buy it for myself. It’s the original 1 inch ceramic iron, the model name is Farouk GF1001. I purchased it at …
Redken Smooth Down Shampoo
I have a lot of hair problems. I’m not sure when it all started but I’ve noticed that as I’m getting older, I’m only in my mid-twenties, that my hair has developed a mind of its own. I have fine, very straight, flat hair. On top of all that …
Caronia Nail Color in Frosted Silver
It’s a dimming prospect every time I think of spending money for expensive nail colors versus other cheap polishes. I have always known that cheap nail colors have thinners similar to those used in paints and they’re very difficult to apply because they thin-out so quickly even before …
Detol soaps and lotions
Those who have the little children in their house I suggest for such people to use the Detol soaps and lotions. Actually the detol soap is having the anti germ formula which fights against the germs and keep every one clean and healthy. The Detol soap also …
Sephora Atomic Volume Mascara
I recently realized that all of my mascara’s were all dried up and gross. When I put them on my eyelashes it would get really clumpy and didn’t really make my eyes look any better. I realized at this point that I needed a new mascara. I wanted to …

I really experience bad body odour all the time after sweating. Normally I cut a fresh lime and use the juice to rob my body before taking a bath with a warm water to relax the body. But that process does not entirely remove the odour until I …
Olay Moisture-Rich Cream Cleanser

Suave 24 Hour Spray-On Deodorant
This spray-on deodorant comes in many fragrances and it works wonderfully. I use it for a maybe strange purpose. I sweat in other places besides my underarms so I use stick deodorant for my underarms and the spray for other places on my body. I can honestly say that …
Body Shop Cherry Lip and Cheek Stain
I so like this innovative lipgloss cum blush-on from Body Shop. It seemed expensive at first look, for Php800+. But then if you think of the dual purpose designed into one tube, you’d realize that you are really saving some money after all. I got the cherry flavor because …
Markwins Lip Gloss Palette
This Markwins Lip Gloss palette came in one of my Markwins makeup sets that I got. This lip gloss palette is one of my favorite things that I like in the palette because it does have one shade in it that I really really like to wear a lot …

Sally Hansen Thick Callous Remover
I came across the product a year ago while I was shopping for something else. Since I knew I had these thick callouses on the soles of my feet, I wanted to give this a try.
According to back of the tube the callous remover contains ingredients such as …
Cargo Eyelighter
This review is both a product review and a makeup tip! I was reading an article on beauty tips in a magazine last week, and one makeup trick in particular caught my eye. The subject was how to counteract signs of tiredness and aging with makeup, and the article …

Anyone who has long hair, or has a little girl with long hair, knows how difficult it can be to get a comb or a brush though it when it is tangled. Suave is the maker of many, many hair care products, including shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, gels, …
Kiehls Lip Balm SPF 15

Obagi foaming gel face wash
Having had a seemingly unsolvable acne problem I decided to go for one of the most expensive products available on the market, in an attempt to finally get the problem solved.
At $69.99, I expected real results and I am happy to say that real results are what I got, …
Aqua Fresh Empowermint Toothpaste
I have been using Aqua Fresh Empowermint Toothpaste for about two years. Before I started using it my mouth never felt clean and I worried about my breath. I tried many different toothpastes and mouthwashes, but never felt my mouth or breath were fresh.
Since I have been using Empowermint …
Neutrogena Shine Control Liquid Make Up (Soft Beige 50)
This is a new product from Neutrogena, its a shine control/sunscreen liquid foundation. I actually didn’t purchase this foundation, I received it from a food donation program (weird, huh?) and it happened to be about half a shade darker than me but I tried it anyway and ended up loving …
Matrix Sleek Look Shampoo
Every time I see a shampoo commerical, I’m literally sick to my stomach, because these women all have gloriously shiny and bouncy hair, and then I rush off to the store, buy that shampoo, and I never get the same kind of look. My hair has been problematic for …
LORAC Coverup
In my opinion, the concealment step is the most crucial part of my makeup routine. I have a lot of blemishes and dark spots that I like to cover up, in addition to puffy under eye circles that I like to hide before going out in public. I often …
Neutrogena Lip Plush Lipcolor
Neutrogena Lip Plush Lipcolor comes in 24 different shades, most of them warm, natural-looking. It comes in a stylish, matte golden tube with silvery ring around the center; when you remove the lid, the insides are silvery as well. It is a bit pricy, over $6 per tube, but …
Colgate microSonic Power Toothbrush
Over the last 2 years I have become a total convert to electric toothbrushes. I find they clean my teeth better, and require less effort to use. My new favourite electric toothbrush is Colgate microSonic Power Toothbrush. I thought it was an absolute steal for $5.49CDN plus tax.
What’s …
Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow Single Shade
It was always difficult for me to find the right eyeshadow in a single shade. While browsing at the airport in Atlanta, GA, I found Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow in single shades. This was four years ago and up to now, this is my brand and type of …
Dove extra moisturizing body wash
Dove extra moisturizing body wash is a really good body wash. It’s a lot creamier than other body washes. It feels so good on your body when washing yourself off. It doesn’t’ lather up as much as other body washes do but that really doesn’t bother me. I would …
Mac Face & Powder Blush in Pure Peaches
Sometimes putting blush on top of concealer and powder makes your skin stand out and looks bold, so I bought this face and blush powder as it can be also used for your forehead, nose, and chin. This compact costs around $18.50 and it’s a 6-gram compact, it’s quite …
