Oxy Daily Cleansing Pads
I purchased a package of 90 Oxy Cleaning Pads to supplement my current skin care regime. Particularly, I bought these for travelling and mid-day touch ups. I found them to be extremely useful for that purpose. After a morning of gruelling works and intense sweating, these cleansing pads are …
Nivea Sun High Protection Sun Lotion SPF30
I am very meticulous when it comes to skin care products. That is why during our family’s summer vacation to Boracay this year, I went through a hard time of finding the right sun protection formula that suit all our needs.
It …
Moroccan Oil for Hair
When I first decided to purchase Moroccan oil, usually a price range of $20-$50, I was very curious about its dazzling effect on hair.
Of course, the product is a bit on the pricey side. However, no one will be disappointed, because you honestly get what you pay for.
Needless …
Pond’s Evening Soothe Wet Cleansing Towelettes
I began using these cleansing wipes after I decided to look for a cheaper alternative to the makeup removing wipes that I had been using, but were just too expensive to continue buying. I tried many different kinds of makeup remover until I found these from Pond’s.
These towelettes …
Cream Silk Reshape Standout Straight Conditioner
Back when I was in my college days, I had a dry, tangled wavy hair. It was due to frequent hair straightening and hair dying. My hair was badly damage. In addition, my hair was frequently exposed to the heat of the sun and pollution. I did not apply …
Impulse Body Spray New York
This Body Spray has been out for a few years now. I thought that the City Collection ones were a limited edition, but they must be limited for quite a while. You should find these ones in most stores that stock the Impulse range and I would say that …
Sweat Block Anti-Perspirant
I don’t have sweaty underarms during ordinary days. In fact I rarely experience sweat in my pits anytime of the day and even when I am exposed to the scorching heat of the sun during lunch break. However, it is not the same when I am on the pitch …
Sportin Wave Gel Pomade with Wavitrol III
I have really rough and dry hair. I don’t like putting hair spray and gels in my hair, because they always dry it out. I already have a sensitive scalp, and can’t put too many different products in my hair. I would get really frustrated when my hair wouldn’t …
Nivea Visage Microdermabrasion Kit
Recently, I have heard alot about microdermabrasion, a process that used to only be done in the dermatologist’s office, to activate surface cell removal to reveal smoother, brighter skin. I am at that age, 32, where I have been concerned about my skin’s appearence and about …
Clarins Extra-Firming Tightening Lift Botanical Serum
On top of my night cream, I also use serum every other night. It can work with your night cream or you can substitute your night cream for it if you want to save on your beauty regimen. What compelled me to use this is the fact that I …
The Body Shop Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm
Lip balm has always been a pain for me. Sometimes I bought lip balms which actually ended up making my lips drier, or sometimes it made them look a really strange color. So, I thought that maybe I’d have to buy a better brand to get the lip balm …
MAC & Marcel Wanders Sheer Mystery Powder in Light Medium
I always buy Mac products because I think it’s best to buy an expensive brand that will take care of your skin rather than buying cheap brands that can just harm your skin in the long run. I gave myself this Mac powder as a Christmas gift and have …
Milani Smooth Finish Cream-to-Powder Makeup
It is rare that I find a makeup product that I dislike so much that I actually come to throwing it away. Most of the time, I’ll put up with a product that I dislike until I have finished using it just so that I can say that I …
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner
My hair is blonde, I have been coloring it that way for years. I like the color of my hair overall, but sometimes it needs to be freshened up. During the winter months, it can get pretty dull, and the blonde also seems to fade into a darker …
Cream Silk Dandruff-free Conditioner
I know that I am under a lot of stress when I start getting dandruff again. My dermatologist would usually prescribe shampoo with ketoconazole, but so far, I have not come across a dermatologist who prescribed a conditioner for dandruff. As far as I knew, dandruffs were caused by …
Clinique Eye Shadow
My skin is pretty sensitive to make-up. I’ve experienced flare-ups and itching on my face with some brands. Happily, Clinique is one brand that my face seems to love. But there’s more that I like about Clinique eye shadows than just being hypoallergenic.
I love how the product spreads evenly and …
Dove Gentle Exfoliating Beauty Bar
I have been using Dove Gentle Exfoliating Body Bar for a few months now and I am very satisfied with the results. One bar only costs around P40. 00 or almost $1 and it can last me up to a month even though I use it twice a day …
Estee Lauder Spotlight Skin Tone Perfector Moisturizer
We cannot avoid that sometimes we are exposed to the sun. Lately, I have been getting a lot of exposure outside from the sun’s harmful rays on my skin. It was after a few months that I started noticing the appearance of an uneven skin tone especially on my …
Wella Herbal Creambath
I know Wella product so long already. And I normally asked my hairdresser to give me Wella products when I got hair treatment in the beauty salon.
The last product that I like from Wella is the creambath product. They called it Wella Herbal Creambath. I never buy the product …
St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub
St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub works great! This scrub is gentle enough for your skin, but powerful enough to exfoliate your skin! I love the way my face feels after washing my face with this scrub! I can just feel all that dead skin being washed …
Eylure Dylash 45 day mascara eyelash and brow dye kit
Sadly I am not blessed with dark eyebrows or lashes. Mine are dark blonde. So like many women, I wear lashings of mascara and eyebrow pencil when I go out for the evening. I look a bit washed out without this type of makeup.
I …
Avon Anew 2-in-1 Eye Lift
I purchased this product from Avon when I saw it on sale as part of a promotion that Avon had running. The product made some pretty remarkable claims that were hard to resist. The product is supposed to lift the brow bone, upper eye, eyelid, and under-eye …
Clinique Quick Corrector Concealer
As a female going through the agony of puberty, I have many issues to contend with. First on the list are those skin imperfections like acne and blemishes that seem to crop up just when you are trying to look your prettiest. My best friends have their own beauty …
Maybelline Lip Smooth color and care in Strawberry
This is an excellent lip product made by Maybelline New York and it is my favorite lipstick that comes in balm form. The packaging is more like of a lip balm but when you use it it gives your lips just the right touch of color. The …
L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Black
L’Oréal Telescopic Mascara was my first mascara from drugstore. I’ve heard so many good reviews on it and now it is my all time favorite eye product that literally became a legend.
And it’s really worth being so popular.
It comes in a gold tube that is very laconic and elegant …
First Lady Synthetic Full Lace Wig in Angel
I am an African American woman with natural hair who likes to wear wigs because of the protection that it provides my hair from heat styling. I made the transition from wearing regular wigs (both human and synthetic) to synthetic front lace wigs about two months ago, and …
Body Fantasies Cotton Candy Body Wash
I have never been to picky about the type of body wash I use. I have found that most of them are decent and get the job done. In other cases I have found that the Body Wash was completely horrible, but this does not happen often. One body …
Dove Cream Bar
I used to love whitening/clarifying soaps but since these whitening/clarifying soaps that I have used are drying, I’ve opted to shift to dove.
Dove is a nice soap. It’s creamy and smells good. The nice texture of it when I lather it to my skin is a very nice feeling. …
LashBlast Mascara by Cover Girl
I never leave my apartment without wearing makeup. I have a morning routine for everyday makeup and a night routine for the nightlife. The part of my makeup that really brings out my feminine qualities is my mascara. I always put it on last as the crucial finishing touch. …
Chambor’s Flavored Lip gloss
I have always had a fascination for Chambor’s cosmetic products. So when I had decided to get a new lip gloss for myself, Chambor’s new line of flavored lip gloss” Delicious Lips” caught my attention. From the different kinds of flavors offered in this collection I chose my favorite …
Sally Hansen No-Heat Gel Wax Strips #5003
I bought these strips thinking that they would work, since I have tried Sally Hansen strips before and the price was right, under $8.00 at my local drugstore.
The other strips of theirs that I tried had yellow wax inside them and worked great, especially on my upper lip. …
Neutrogena Wave Deep Skin Cleanser
The Neutrogena Wave Deep Skin Cleanser is a battery operated device that has cleansing pads on a vibrating head. I bought this recently for my daughter who had heard about it from a friend. We have both used it now and think it is a good product. …
Suave Natural Oatmeal Moisturizer
I have been using the Suave Natural Oatmeal Moisturizer for about one month now and I love well it works. I was worried it wasn’t going to keep my skin hydrated and silky soft because of how cheap it was, but it actually improved my skin greatly and not …
Chanel Exclusive Creation Temporary Skin Art
The world of makeup is full of surprises. Again, another great product from Chanel hits the market. It’s truly amazing, the Chanel Exclusive Creation Temporary Skin Art. Designs galore, with pearls, chains, blossoms, et al. “Open your imagination and delve into the designs” quoted by the designer of Saga …
Kashieca by Bea Alonzo Beautiful Body Spray
I like fruity body mists that don’t make me feel queasy. Some days I just want to wear a light fragrance, or better yet, smell nothing. If it’s a product close by, and cheap, I’d love to try. To be different (I can’t count the times …
Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion
I had the chance of using the Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion. I have itchy, sensitive dry skin so I make sure to pick the best lotion that I could use to avoid cracked, drying skin. I found that maybe I could use baby products because these products are …
Toni and Guy Iron It Heat Defence
I love using a flat iron on my hair and I know that means that it’s important to put some product in that protects my hair from the heat. I bought this from a salon and thought I’d give it a go.
The packaging is plain and to be …
Sally Hansen Wax Strips
This product is good in a pinch, but it is no substitute for salon waxing. I use it on a semi-regular basis and it works pretty well on my brows, but I have very little luck with my upper lip—”it rarely grabs the hair and it often irritates …
Simple Kind to Skin Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser
This Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser from the Simple Kind to Skin range is a pretty good product that I think would have suited me just as much back when I was a spotty teenager as it does now that I have mature skin. I am still prone to …
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in “Rockstar Pink”
I recently purchased the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in the shade “Rockstar Pink” or #140. Normally, I would not write a review about one specific nail polish color because I just do not see the point. However, I have had such a love-hate relationship …
Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner
I love using toners because it makes my skin feel so nice afterwards, almost tight, but not in a bad way. Makes me feel like I’m younger and have healthier skin because toners, if they are the good kind, get right in there under the skin and clean everything …
Bausch & Lomb Renu Multi-Purpose Solution
I was really tired of spending so much money on contact solution. I always have to buy the travel size ones, because I travel so much. When I saw this product in the travel section, I had to get it. The price was so much cheaper than the one …
Garnier Fructis Hairspray
When my usual choice of hairspray brand was out of stock in my local grocery store one day, I decided to try a different brand called Garnier Fructis extra strong hold. It was quite expensive being around $6 (Australian dollars) for a can, but having used Garnier’s …
Tresemme Tres Two Extra Hold professional hairspray
I was at Harris teeter the other day, and this and another sample size hairspray caught my eye. I had been meaning to try out a few different hairstyles lately, and when I saw this, I have to admit that I was drawn to the company more than the …
Hollywood Beauty Olive Oil
Because the scalps of African American women tend to be dry, most prefer to oil their hair using hair greases. However, I do not like the way that hair grease makes my hair look and feel. Grease gives my hair a limp and oily appearance, and it …
Careline Face powder
If you are looking for a face powder that both hypo-allergenic and have a foundation-like finished, then I would recommend Careline face powder. I have been using this brand since 2006 and very contented with its effect on my face.
Careline face powder has a moisturizer and a sunscreen protection …
