Shiseido Cleansing Massage Brush
I think at this point every girl has heard about the magical properties of cleansing brushes. There are all kinds of those on the market: electric brushes, regular brushes, massage brushes, LED-light brushes etc. I really wanted to try one of those things and I tried a less fancier version …
Redken Extreme Conditioner
I haven’t always been a big salon retail user, but when I started school for cosmetology and saw the benefits of using a salon product, I am now hooked. I like this Redken conditioner because it is for “distressed” hair, which I don’t think my hair is however, I …
Apricot Scrub: Exfoliate
I usually do not like to buy products that use fillers. If you research what a filler really is you will see it comes from a rendering plant. Don’t look that up unless you want to have a shock about what your putting on your face. But I will …
Old Spice Wolfthorn Men’s Deodorant and Anti-Perspirant
My old scent just wasn’t working for me anymore so I went to the store to find a new scent of deodorant that I liked. I smelled all of the men’s deodorants and they all had the same musky, manly, outdoorsy scent. That is, until I smelled Wolfthorn.
Old Spice …

St Ives Makeup and Facial Cleanser
My all time favorite facial cleanser to use is the St. Ives Makeup and Facial Cleanser. I like this facial cleanser because it cleanses my sensitive skin gently from makeup and dirt naturally without being to harsh on my skin causing it to burn, sting or dry out. I …
Redkin All Soft Shampoo
I have to be pretty particular when it comes to the shampoo I use for a number of reasons. I have very thin hair, and it has an uneven production of oil. My hair will get oily by the roots and look heavy hanging from my head, until you …
Gentle Treatment Hair Relaxer
In the past, I have always relaxed my hair. I have been relaxing my hair about once every two months for the last 13 years. I’ve used a lot of different relaxers, but only one has me completely traumatized. I was at Wal-Mart looking at relaxers and saw a …

I would say that this lip-gloss is fully recommended for teenagers especially they whose just tried to be an adult and on their first step to learn how to use lipstick properly. I began used this lipstick when I was 16 years old or so, that was …
Smith’s Rosebud Salve
This Rosebud Salve lip balm I have read about in magazines over and over again. It gives a really nice, natural red-ish look to your lips and makes them feel so soft and smooth. The smell is like roses. I love this stuff. It comes in a round …
Remington Short Cut Clipper Rechargeable and Cordless Haircut Kit
Unlike the “Just a Trim” product, this personal hair cut clipper does a pretty decent job of trimming and cutting my hair. I’ve actually stopped going and paying to get my hair cut since I purchased this clipper. For me, it eliminated the need of having to pay someone …

I bought the Clinique moisture surge extended thirst relief gel-creme as I get dry skin in the winter and I wanted to start add more moisture to my skin now that I’m the big 3-0. This one is for all skin types and is a 1oz jar with lid.
This …
Jordana Sweet n Shiny Flavored Lip Gloss (Sweet Dessert)
I bought this lip gloss uptown for quite a bit of money when I was working. However, after going to a few places downtown and seeing it for a much more affordable price, I most definitely think I overspent on it. White I paid over $J1000 uptown, I saw …
NuSkin Galvanic Spa II
Let me begin by saying that I used to be a distributor for NuSkin Enterprises however, now I am a customer only.
Here is my personal experience with this product.
When I was first introduced to the NuSkin Galvanic Spa II, I was considering going for a face-lift. I …
OPI Bubble Bath Nail Polish
This is another great OPI nail polish that I have purchased. Normally I prefer to buy polishes that are more striking in color, but I ended up buying this one because I was looking for a more neutral tone for my french manicures. One of the reasons …
Elizabeth Arden Intervene Skin Tone Perfecting Capsules
It is interesting that beauty is now inside a capsule. I first encountered this kind kind of skin care product from Body Shop and some dubious brands from China. This skin care capsules offer the same thing like any other day or night creams. If you want a more …
Lancome Le Crayon Khol Eye Pencil
I have a long history with eyeliner; this cosmetic pencil and I have come a long way together. I first started as a child using my mom’s eye makeup from Korea that she got in Koreatown. During junior high school, I upgraded to one dollar Wet n’Wild …
St. Ives Mineral Therapy Body Wash
Recently I came across an attractive looking body wash that I was very interested to try. It was St. Ives Mineral Therapy body wash. Although I did not know much about this product, I must admit I was seduced by the packaging and advertising. Mineral therapy sounds wonderful, and …

Maybelline Lip Smooth

Vitress Instant Relax Hair Cuticle Coat
My hair needs extra special care and protection. That is because it has been through a lot of chemicals already. My hair doesn’t look damaged but knowing that it’s been chemically-treated, extra special care is necessary. Shampoo and conditioner is not enough for me and I also apply a …
Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler
I am not a fan of eyelash curlers. I am a self-confessed lady who uses mascara but never curls her lashes before doing so. For professional make-up artists, I know they would consider this a no-no. But I have been doing this for years now and I don’t see …
Nivea Visage Vitamin Mask
“Invigorating Vitamin Mask’ by Nivea Visage, (which contains Vitamin C & Fruit Extracts) claims to be suitable for all skin types but IT IS NOT.
I strongly advise those with sensitive skin not to use it. (I don’t know about its effect on normal skin as I have sensitive skin).
I …

Garnier Nutritioniste Nutri-Pure skin cleanser
Garnier has a great line of hair products, but I was a little sketchy to by this because I had never used any of their skin products before. It turns out that my skepticism was warranted. I’m a little disappointed in the product.
The product is made with Vitamin …

Moist dry-hair conditioner

San Ing Anti-Wrinkle and Pimples Facial Cream
The San Ing Pearl Face Cream is the second best Chinese facial cream that I know in terms of its impact on the skin. The best in my opinion is still Ly Na. You might want to know what is in all these facial creams for you. …

Maybelline New Superstay Silky Foundation, 20 cameo
I really don’t like foundations because none of them is perfect and most of them don’t even do what it promise to do. I tried many different foundations and I was never fully satisfied with any of them. Most of the times, when I apply a foundation my skin …
Blistex Lip Tone with SPF 15 Lip Balm
I easily get dry and chapped lips when the weather is extreme. Whether it was extremely hot for the summer or extremely cold during the coldest months here in a tropic country, my lips would dry up, get a little bit swollen, dry up. And in addition to that, …
St Ives Apricot Scrub Blackhead and Blemish Control
I have been pretty lucky for most of my life having clear and unproblematic skin. However, all of a sudden, my face went completely downhill with breakouts, irritation and aggravated patches. I tried a lot of different things which didn’t work, but came across the St Ives Apricot …

Lakme Hair Next Hair Souffle
This product is another in a long line of “Hair Next” products, but I actually liked this a lot. It is a substitute for hair oil and it nourishes the tresses just like oil would. I am one person who never applies hair oil before washing my hair because …
Paul & Joe Protective Powder Compact Foundation SPF 20
I set out to buy a better compact foundation in the wake of my disappointing purchase. Had I been wiser and spent more, I wouldn’t have put up with a brittle Maybelline pressed powder. The last thing I dread to happen is a crumbling pan of foundation. …
Dove Beauty Bar Moisturizing Bath Soap
This came together with a month’s worth of grocery items. I am not fond of dove soaps because of the runny melt away texture. I was accustomed to lathering with Jergens’ mild soaps. I tend to stick to one product regularly as I’m prone to reactions. …
MD Therapy Skin Revealing Treatment Gel
I just recently had my face pricked so my dermatologist gave me some topical ointments, creams, and gels. One of them was MD Therapy Skin Revealing Treatment Gel, which is supposed to help tighten my pores and prevent blemishes. I was advised to use it every other night. …
L’oreal Telescopic eyeliner
While the telescopic mascara fell pretty short of my expectations, their liquid eyeliner is probably the best product I’ve got in my makeup bag.
As anyone who’s used liquid eyeliner can vouch for, it’s so hard to find a good one. There are a bunch of new ones that …
Avalon Organic Botanicals Oil-Free Moisturizer
I don’t normally use moisturizers everyday because I used to think they were kinda sticky or greasy, and since I had oily skin, it was more or a problem because it might mess up my face. But one of the best moisturizers I used so far was Avalon Organic …
