Calligraphy Liquid Eyeliner
I recently purchased the Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid Eyeliner from Sephora. It was described as a “breakthrough product” and that always gets my attention.

Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
I know just about everybody has seen the Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara commercials a million times just as I have but I have to say I wasn’t a believer in the product until I actually tries it. I’ve seen so many mascara commercials it’s hard to know which …

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Extra Strength Formula

THE PRICE:
I paid around $8.00 for …
Nivea Extra Whitening Lotion
Nivea Extra Whitening Lotion is one of the products of the Nivea Extra Whitening line and I would say that it also not a good attempt by Nivea to match other whitening products in the market. After months of using this lotion, my skin did not whiten at …

E45 Endless Moisture Radiance Body Lotion
E45 is a dermatological brand name that I associate with heavy duty moisturising creams, so I was a bit surprised that this ‘Endless Moisture’ body lotion did not provide the endless moisture it promises. Not ‘endless’ moisture - just some. That said, this is a lovely product …
Shu Uemura Vibrating Black Eyelash Mascara
My mother bought me this vibrating eyelash mascara and I can’t believe it’s so pretty and useful! The mascara is a sleek, thick black tube and there’s a small rectangular button on the applicator that vibrates when you press it. The button is soft and is made of rubber …
Veet Spray on Hair Removal Cream
I recently tried out Veet’s Spray on Hair Removal Cream to see if it is nicer to my legs than scraping them with a normal razor every other day. Suffice to say I’m back to using the razor as at least it actually removes hair!
I bought the one in …

Wet & Wild Bronzer

Ivory Body Wash

Suave Professionals Conditioner

Loreal Dermo-Expertise White Perfect Re-Lightening Milky Emulsion

Nair Men Hair Removal Body Cream

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC30

Maybelline Shine Sensational Pop Stick in Pink Lollipop
I have very dry lips which are always cracking and bleeding. I admit I don’t moisture them enough as I simply forget to and I also don’t like the taste of many lip balms or the scent would be too overwhelming for me to use. So most of the …
Cover Girl Professional Loose Powder
I purchased the Cover Girl Professional Loose Powder today in color 105 translucent fair. It’s decent, but not my favorite powder to use. I think it’s best suited for teenagers or for people who don’t have the extra cash to spend on a better product.
The amount in the container …

First of all, this stuff smells HORRIBLE. At first it smelled …
Dollar General Brand Apricot Face Scrub
I picked this product up when my grandma took me to Dollar General to pick up some necessities for moving into a new apartment. Since apricot scrub isn’t exactly a necessity, I asked her to get this one for me instead of the more expensive St. Ive’s version. Overall, …
Aveeno Positively Radiant Makeup Removal Cleanser
Remember the old adage “With age comes wisdom”? Well, I’m changing that to say with age comes bills, a poor economy and the need to make wise choices when shopping for things like cosmetics. Given the current US economy I am one of the fortunate few who still have …
Laura Mercier Mineral Powder
A couple of weeks ago I ran out of mineral powder. I drove over to Sephora at the Summit in Birmingham, Alabama. I was greeted by a very friendly make up artist. I told the artist what I was looking for and asked what did he …
Lancome Oscillation
My favorite cosmetic item is Lancome’s newest mascara, named Oscillation. This mascara is amazing! The Oscillation comes in black and gold, and will cost around $35.00 for one tube of mascara. This might seem expensive, but I can promise that it is entirely worth it. This mascara has a …

Hard Candy Lip Gloss in FLower Power
I can’t say I’m really a big fan of Hard Candy. I do buy their products occasionally, but I like a lot of other brands better. I wouldn’t have bought this lipgloss if I hadn’t found this at T J Maxx for a discounted price. I didn’t really have …
