Revlon Custom Creations Foundation
Normally, I choose to use products from the Covergirl Queen Collection since I find that the colors work very well on my dark brown African American skin. While the colors of their foundations do not match perfectly, they are forgiving enough that they become undetectable after a few …
Dove Straight & Silky shampoo
At first I only knew the body soap that Dove produces, and I like that product, so it was a nice surprise to find a shampoo from this brand. I was only using this shampoo for a while, but I must admit that I was pretty pleased while using …
Aussie Mega Instant Miracle Dry Shampoo
First of all, I must say that I am a huge fan of Aussie haircare. I think they are a really fun brand, they smell great, and their range tends to work well together (I use the same line of shampoo and conditioner, for example). However, not all Aussie …
Monea C.P.R. Hair Spray
I only used one heat protector on my hair ever. The first heat-protecting styling product that I have ever used is Monea Salon Professional Series C.P.R. Hair Revitalizing Spray. The C.P.R stands for Care, Protect, and Repair, the product’s promises. It is a multipurpose hair spray that cares for …
Cilinique Eye Concealer
I’ve been using Clinique products for sometimes now. And honestly, I never have complain about the product that I used from Clinique. I have no allergic reaction when using their products. That’s the important reason why I still continue to use some Clinique products.
One of the product that I …

The Product
The container is pretty identical to a marker pen. It is slim and black in color.
This has a pointed felt-tip applicator for a precise application on the eyelids.
This has no particular scent.
This applies like a liquid liner but lines like an eyeliner pencil.
This is only US$1 in the …
Bath and Body Works Fragrance Mist Spray
Bath and Body Works is a great shop, but I am really upset that there is no shop here in the Philippines just yet. When my sister in law went to the US last month, I asked her to buy me a Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom …
Clnique High Impact Mascara

LUSH “Buffy the Backside Slayer” Exfoliating Body Butter
I was recently given the LUSH “Buffy the Backside Slayer” exfoliating body butter. The product doesn’t just have a cute name. I actually really like almost everything about it. I guess my general impression of this product is that it works very well and is a very effective exfoliator. …
Splash care Vitress Hair Cuticle Coat

L’Oreal Elseve Colour Vive shampoo
I like to change shampoos every now and then and I always buy the one that’s on discount at the moment, well except those that I don’t like, like Fructis and several more. Elseve shampoos were also on my black list for a long time because they were making …
Avon Skin So Soft Satin Glow Continuous Mist Airbrush Spray

Samy Hair Care Products
I have had the chance to try several Samy hair care products over the last couple days and I am not as impressed as I would like to be. I found that the Samy products lack a lot of the punch that other lines offer and they don’t …

Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Toasty Almond Sheer Lip Gloss

Pureology Anti-Fade Complex Hydrate Shampoo
I really can’t believe I spent $60 on a bottle of shampoo, but sure enough, I did. I was a admittedly a little desperate at the time too. I’d been experiencing a lot of hair loss, hair breakage, split ends, and my hair was always looking limp and lifeless …
Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color Pixel Pretty 03

Calgon Ahh Spa Ocean Oasis Revitalizing Body Mist
Calgon is such a feel-good fragrance. I got started with their Get Juiced line of fruity cocktails which always gave me a zing in the morning. It’s great to give my nose a much needed break from the usual eponym-obsessed primadonna
perfumes I’ve been splashing on myself lately. …
Vaseline Rich Conditioning Petroleum Jelly Cocoa Butter

Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch Primer
It goes without saying that Clarins is an expensive brand. But having tried some of their trial sample sizes, I know the effectiveness of their products.

Nivea My Silhouette Redefining Gel-Cream

I bought Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner a long time ago from a store, worth $9. It weighed 8.5 oz and it was great. Here is my review.
It contains Beta Hydroxy Acids which are proven to refine big pores and help shrink blackheads. Its ingredients are actually used in a …
Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow trio

I love when makeup comes in …
