I am not very fond of self tanning creams, first of all because they don’t make you tan equally and secondly because although in the beginning they don’t have unpleasant smell, usually the skin smells as if it was burnt after some time. That isn’t very pleasant. I was …

I buy loads of different lip balms and for the first time, I tried this old-fashioned Carmex brand in a little pot. There are many kinds of lip balms, but this is a great basic one that is just brilliant at moisturizing chapped lips. Not only does …

I really love makeup. I enjoy putting it on and experimenting with it. Most of the time I just buy common drug store and department store brands of makeup as I do not have the biggest makeup budget in the world. However, every once in a while, I will …

I bought this product in a rose color- number 123. I don’t remember exactly how much I paid, probably around 3 or 4 dollars. It wasn’t expensive- wetnwild products never are. It’s a dual ended lip color, which I probably gravitated to because it looks similar to dual ended …

I was drawn into buying this cleansing foam from L’Occitane’s Immortelle Range as I like the idea of ‘brightening’ my face every time I cleanse. Also, the Immortelle Range is one of L’Occitane’s best selling ranges for anti-aging, hence, it would be killing two birds with a stone …

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 …

Listerine Vanilla Mint bills itself as being “less intense”, and it does live up to this promise. The usual burning sensation you experience when swishing Listerine around in your mouth is hardly there, though not completely gone. I think this is helpful for getting the most from …

Problems with hair no more. I was in college when hair rebonding became a trend. You see celebrities endorsing shampoos projecting their flawless hair, and you wish you have one. After sometime did I noticed that my hair is starting to become dry and lifeless, so I was advised …

Another good product in the Avon Kids range. This is quite a fun range and I know this is more aimed at Kids, I decided to buy this and try it myself and although I could be harsh and say that it isn’t as good as an adult one, …

So I’ve never really been a big fan of MAC. Sorry to say, but their products don’t interest me as much as they do other beautiful ladies. Usually, I just like their lipglasses and mascaras, and that’s pretty much it. They do have a nice formula with their lipglasses, …

I really love this hand cream. It has a very smooth and rich texture which glides easily on the skin. The best thing about it, is that unlike most other hand crèmes, it does not just cover the skin and protects it from the elements, but it actually absorbs …

I am extremely picky about the razors that I use on my legs, or any part of my body for that matter. I understand that men need good razors for the sensitive skin of their face, but we women have sensitive skin too, and it covers far more of …

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 …

This cream was actually recommended to me by my mother. And mother knows best, isn’t that true? All jokes aside, this is a really wonderful night cream for any age. Finding the right cream for my face has always been a challenge for me. Like many women, I …

If I were to describe what a bed fragrance is, I would have this pillow mist first thing on my mind. Different scents go with different occasions. Some scents give a perk while this particular mist does the opposite. The relaxing pillow mist from L’occitane’s Aromachologie …

I usually don’t buy conditioners other than the brand I am used to have. But one day, the brand I use was out of stock in the local store were I buy my goods and groceries. Ans so scanning through the shelves I saw this Pantene Anti-Frizz …

I’m always pretty hesitant to believe the whole “never fail” because on my skin, that kind of promise is pretty much a broken one from the get-go. My skin is very oily, and I’m not even being the least bit sarcastic when I say that. I can wash my …

I’ve had lifelong problems with my hair being frizzy, especially in humid climates. And over the years I have sought out various cures and remedies for it. I’m actually very skeptical of any product that claims to cure it. The only shampoo and conditioner that ever helped me in …

Aveda Confixor Liquid Gel is a gel that simply did not work well for me. I think my hair might have been too thick for the gel to work well. Plus, if I used too much of the gel, it would give off an odor that I did not …

I am in love with this conditioner! I’ve heard so many raves reviews about it, but I always figured that it couldn’t be anything that good, because if it was, it would be all over the place in terms of internet, magazines, tv, hair salons, etc! Well I was …

Pears Shower Gel is as pleasurable to use as I remember the bar of soap was, with its best qualities but with the advantage that it is 100% soap free. I would enjoy using the soap bar when I was a kid as it seemed to me to …

I’m negotiating ways to make a flexible schedule at work and spare some time for myself in the weekends. Yet, I don’t have plenty of time to slump in a spa bed and let someone wax out the hairs. Well, in fact, it’s been a long time …

I am crazy about my hair. I keep them really long as I feel very feminine with long hair. They are long to my waist and thus very tough to take care especially since I color treat them too often and constantly change my hair style from perming and rebonding …

Scarlett Johannson is perhaps the perfect model to showcase a hair color as brash as the one seen on these pages. The blonde is almost frighteningly bright. And I can’t imagine that anyone would actually want hair this color. I am wondering whether the Loreal hair …
