Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

Napoleon Perdis, Napoleon Minimal Makeup

Maybelline Baby Lips Tinted Lip Balm

Dove Ultimate Go Fresh deodorant in Cool Essentials
Finding a good deodorant is hard, especially women, or maybe it’s just me. I’m very picky when it comes to any sort of product that I have to use on my body. My problem with a lot of deodorants is that they’re either too strong smelling, don’t work well, …
L’Oreal Ever Sleek Intense Smoothing Shampoo

Williams-Sonoma Pumpkin Spice Hand Soap
I assume that this was a limited-edition scented hand soap. I don’t believe that Williams-Sonoma put it out in the stores this year. I found it at T.J. Maxx a while back, maybe almost a year ago. I don’t normally shop at Williams-Sonoma, except once in a blue moon …

Blistex Silk & Shine
As an avid Chapstick user, I was skeptical about trying Blistex Silk & Shine. My husband had purchased it, figuring I would be willing to try something new, so I gave it a go.
The iridescent tube was beautiful, larger than I am used to, with bold purple writing. Once …
Blistex Pro Relief Lip Protectant/External Analgesic

L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
The L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara gets a rating of 9 out of 10 in my opinion. I purchased the product in the shade “Blackest Black” for $8.99 from my local Target (though I know that sometimes you can get a better deal when L’Oreal products go on sale …
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat

Cetaphil: The Acne Solution
There are many skin products out there claiming to encourage acne free skin. After trying Neutrogena, Proactiv, Clean and Clear, Dermaclear, and many others, I was about ready to give up. For me, acne was intense and severe; breakouts were frequent and painful. Even more disheartening was the fact …
Etude House Cleansing Dream Soft Cleansing Foam
