Its vacation time! and what comes with that are lots and lots of outings.. to beach to swimmings pools and roaming around the countryside.
As we all know having all this activity means being exposed to the sun all day long for many many days. According to studies sun …

I love going to the beach, since most of the time here in the Philippines, especially in Davao, the weather is really good. That being said, while taking a shower recently, I noticed how uneven my skin tone was. I used to be fair-skinned (I am partly Chinese), but …

The pear base was very sheer on my eyelid, which was great for me because it didn’t show through the colors at all. And when I tried it out with NYX pearl cosmetics (their loose powder), this was the perfect adhesive. They stood out bright and shining with this …

My friend and I usually compare notes on what cleansers work best for us and she mentioned to me that she likes Clinique Liquid Facial Soap and even swore by the Clinique 3-step skincare regimen. She kept touting all the wonderful benefits of the Clinique cleanser that when I …

I just couldn’t get enough of the eye shadows from NARS Fall 2010 collection. When I saw Mangrove which is the yellow mustard shade with green undertone I was blown away. It is not my typical eye shadow but I must say NARS produce the most daring shadows and the …

Gillette shave gel is the brand of shave gel my husband uses. Actually I am a housewife and I really don’t know much about the Gillette shave gels but still I wanted to write about the Gillette shave gel as I have seen it. The Gillette is …

First of all, this was seven dollars for an eyeliner. And it’s not even a really great brand either. It’s Sephora… which is on the line for high end versus drugstore. It’s not exactly drugstore quality, but it isn’t amazing like some eyeliners like Urban Decay or Makeup Forever …

This Paris Hilton Body Glistening Lotion is one of my favorite scented lotions.
One of the things that I really love about this lotion is that, it has a black bottle color and then the text color is a dark pink and it’s super pretty, really pops out against …

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I adore Sephora, not only because they have some excellent items in their lines but because they also carry numerous other brand names like Chanel, Estee Lauder, Clinique and a few others at rather good prices.
One of things I picked from their store was …

While I used pretty a lot of spot correctors because I wanted to get rid of my acne, I only found a few to be pretty much effective. In fact, when I used University Medical AcneFree Terminator 10 Time-Released 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Medicated Spot Treatment which was worth $10 …

It’s very embarrassing that my hands can have cracks and dryness. I have this compulsive habit of handwashing all the time which made my hands looked aged and unpretty. I’m using L’Occitane petal-soft hand cream which is the best hand cream I have used. Now instead, …

The Cosmetician at my local drug store said this night cream would be perfect for me and she was right! Olay complete plus ultra-rich night firming cream certainly lives up to its name. Filled with vitamin E and pro-vitamins B5 and A, my skin appears visibly firmer after 1 …

This lotion is okay, but not the best stuff I’ve used.
The good: It is moisturizing, at least at first. It doesn’t have a fragrance, but there’s something about the smell I like. Though that could be because I used it at Girls State, and now the smell reminds me …

I am not really fond of lipsticks. I buy it only when I have to attend on special occasions. So far, I have purchased around 5 lipsticks. I was not able to consume all these stuffs up until now. Last time, I was checking my cosmetic items and I …

Ponds White Beauty Pearl Cream is the best among the many whitening beauty creams I have tried. It is compact in a small, square-shaped container that I can carry wherever I go, and I don’t have to worry for spills because it is not as fluid as other facial …

I do love the smell of Avon Naturals Moisturizing Almond and Milk Hand and Body Lotion because it was simply sweet just like chocolate but it was more of rich creamy milk and butter in scent. I also like how soft and smooth my skin was after putting it …

I am unbiased when it comes to cosmetics and I would actually buy cheap products as much as I can for my makeup. If the product is effective yet cheap, that was fine with me and I don’t rely so much on brands in choosing my makeup.
I chose …

My hair stylist actually recommended, Beyond the Zone Smooth Criminal Blow Out Balm, to me. She said that it was not that expensive and that it worked. I went to Sally’s Beauty Supply and found it, and I have enjoyed it every since. This hair product is easy to …

All of my life I have been blessed with strong healthy fingernails. What I did not know was that my fingernails would not always be like that. Slowly I noticed my fingernails were becoming dry, brittle, cracking easily, and splitting all the time. At first, I did not mention …

Almost every week I try a new body wash. I’ve always hated bar soap, so all we use in my house is body wash. I like trying different brands in order to experience different smells and moisture content. Not too long ago, I purchased a very cheap body wash …

One of the many issues with getting older is that eyelashes and eyebrows often become more sparse and thin and do not grow as quickly or as thickly. My mom has suffered for years from her eyelashes becoming thinner every year, and she greatly resents having to wear mascara, …

Any time a new shampoo comes out with a french sounding name consumers are going to go crazy tearing it off of the shelves untill the next big thing comes out. Trends of fancy shampoos at discount prices change about as much as the weather. How many are worth …

I recently purchased the MAC Charged Water. It comes in a large spray bottle with a good amount of product. I use it by holding it away from my face and spraying to lightly mist my face. I use it after putting on my makeup so that it “fixes” …

When I was looking for a new nail polish, I wasn’t expecting that I would come across anything spectacular, so when I purchased Mac Nail Lacquer, I was in for a big surprise. I was at a major department store’s cosmetic counter, as I often am, and I …

I think that lip gloss, like lipstick, is one of those products that is usually worth paying a little more for, as most of the cheaper brands are too sticky and do not last long. If my hair keeps sticking to my lips every time the wind blows …

I bought Clinique Acne Solutions Night Treatment Gel for $27online, weighing 24 oz. Here is my review.

I find most toners too abrasive on my skin. They usually contain alcohol that dries my skin far too much and leaves it in poor condition. Then I found a product called Simple Soothing Toner. Simple have been around for years now producing unfragranced soap and beauty products, but …

To be honest about it, I didn’t have faith in the Ivy & Castle Homme shave gel when I bought it in the supermarket. It was more like experimenting. I just had not found the best shave gel or shaving cream for that matter, but I thought …

My wife and I enjoy an occasional massage very now and then. Much as we try to keep our bodies active, and limber it remains a fact that our joints are not what they used to be. So to add to the enjoyment of getting a full body massage …

I have had completely natural or non-chemically processed African American hair for about 3 months. There are very few products that I used prior to my hair transition that I still use now, and Luster’s Pink Plus 2-N-1 Scalp Soother & Oil Sheen is one of them.
According to …

This is the very latest Clinique lipstick that I acquired from a bonus that was featured on the Clinique website. They were promoting a six or seven piece gift with a purchase, but it was only available on-line. What really drew me to this gift were the two cosmetic …

I’ve been a fan of NYX cosmetics probably since the first product of theirs that I’ve bought. I believe the first item I bought was one of their lipsticks because I had heard such great things about them, but like all lipsticks, it doesn’t matter if it’s under the …

I’ll speak of this conditioner I’ve been trying for a few months: Pantene Pro-V Blonde Expressions.
