Cosmetics Reviews
Balsam Color by Clairol
I have been dying my hair since I was 13 years old. I have tried many different brands and types. My hair has been anywhere from blue-black to platinum blonde in the past 16 years.
There are a couple of different hair dyes on the market that are …
Niltex Oily Polish Remover
I use nail polish sometimes, and when I get nail polish remover I usually go for the cheapest ones, not necessarily the ones that work well, and Nailtex coincidentally always falls under the cheapest. I’ve never really had a problem with it when it came to using it to …
Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara
This is such a hyped up mascara that I had to try it, so I went to Shoppers Drug Mart and got it for $8.99, which to me seems like a lot to pay for a drugstore mascara, because they are usually $5-6, but I shelled out, and I …
Revlon ColorStay Soft and Smooth Lipcolor Raspberry Mousse
Ladies, this will be the last lipstick that you will ever buy. I love this lipstick because it is so smooth and creamy. It feels like silk on my lips and I am very picky when it comes to lipstick. It is very hard for me to find a …
St. Ives Apricot Scrub
I am utterly shocked by how many people swear by St. Ives Apricot Scrub. This is something that has often baffled me because the product is not only ineffective, it is actual harmful to your skin. Those little beads used as a scrubbing substance, irritate and tear your skin, …
Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream with SPF 35
I have been trying different BB creams lately, mostly because I like the fact that BB cream is not as heavy as a foundation, yet still offers coverage and hides imperfection on my face. It seems that BB creams are becoming more and more popular as an alternative to …
MD Formulations Adult Anti-Blemish Kit
This is another happy review, this time for MD Formulations Adult Anti-Blemish Kit. I am usually very happy with things I buy because I do a lot of research before actually buying. This one is no different. I was in search of a line of products that would make …
Mane n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner
I first used this shampoo and conditioner when i was staying the night over at my aunts house. I didnt really look at the shampoo or the brand and just used the only shampoo and conditioner that was there. When i brushed my hair, it seemed far easier to …
Clarins SOS Sunburn Soother, After-sun balm
As a beach buff, I’m not likely to suffer from sunburns but I do get skin irritations. In most cases, soaking in the azure waters for hours on end can be upsetting for my touchy skin, ensuing to redness coupled with a bumpy rash. This typically lasts …
Butter London Stiletto Stick - Heel Balm
As I was growing in my younger years, I often thought I had ugly feet. Then my insecurity was displaced instead to fixated obsessions on shoes, heels in particular - basically anything to make my feet look beautiful. I have a fetishist’s assortment of heels and towering …
Emami Fair and Handsome fairness cream for men
I am tall guy and I can say that I am handsome. But my complexion is dark. So I had developed an inferiority complex about my complexion. I had been using some of the women’s fairness cream for more than 3 years. But those products didn’t give the expected …
Dior Show Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum & Primer
I recently purchased the Dior Show Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum & Primer from my local Sephora. One tube of this serum cost about thirty dollars. Some may think that I am crazy for shelling out that much money for one “silly” makeup product, but I had heard so many …
Chap Stick Classic Lip Protectant
I have been using Chap Stick Classic Lip Protectant and Sunscreen with SPF 4 in Strawberry for more than four years now and I can say that I am always satisfied using this product.
I use Chap Stick to give moisture to my lips before I apply my usual lipstick. …
Philosophy Body Lotion in Candy Cane
I bought this for the holidays because I knew that I enjoyed the Cnady Cane scent of my Philosophy body wash and lip gloss. Unfortunately, although this lotion smells pleasant, it’s not nearly as high quality of a product as many other Philosophy products.
While it is distinctly peppermint, there’s …
Avon Tropics Shower Gel
I certainly have a thing for Shower Gels, and this is one of my favourites out there. I have been using this one for years and although I keep trying new ones, I always end up back to my old favourite.
The 1 thing i’m not all that keen on …
Naturals Bath & Body Products by Avon
Being a fair skinned person usually includes being sensitive to soaps. I am limited in the shower gels, moisturizers, and body sprays than I can use. Many of them smell so good yet make me itch unmercifully. Price is another factor that will dictate what I can and can …
Vaseline skin jelly
If there is one thing I hate about winters is that it causes my skin to go unnaturally dry and patchy. Every year it is the same story. Earlier I used to apply whatever kind of oils I used to get my hands on ranging from coconut oil to …
Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20
I tried bleaching several years ago, to make myself fairer. The results were great at first, but after a while it became a problem. Because of my excessive bleaching, my skin tone became uneven, and we all know how unattractive this can be. It’s a good thing I followed …
Olay Complete SPF 30 Defense
I have always been a huge fan of Oil of Olay products, and when I came across this moisturiser with an SPF 30 factor I just had to buy it. Olay have changed their format in recent years and the packaging of this mositruizer with Vitamins B3, pro-vitamin B5 …
Walgreens Moisturizing Bath Beads Vitamin E
I don’t usually use bath beads or bath salts, mostly because it ends up making a mess in my bathtub. The last time I used bath beads, the skin of the beads didn’t dissolve all the way so I had a bath full of those half-melted skins and they …
Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme
I got this hand creme because I was looking for something that would last longer than regular lotion. I work with paper at my job and my hands dry out quickly. I got tired of reapplying lotion so many times throughout the day and I felt I was wasting …
Clinique Facial Soap
This Clinique soap has been an old reliable favorite of mine for at least a decade, if not more. I used to use other facial cleansing products in years past, and although they did clean my face well, they were not as long-lasting as this Clinique bar. I have …
Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash
I already have very dry skin on my body and it being winter, my body skin feels drier than ever before. So especially during this time of the year, I make an effort to do everything possible to ensure my body skin in well-moisturized, using any products necessary to …
Enormous Lash Eyelash Enhancing Serum Conditioner
I used to have short lashes. I heard about eyelash lengtheners which can help lengthen your lashes naturally, and so when I saw a few lash serums I decided to choose something inexpensive but effective. When I read about Enormous Lash Eyelash Enhancing Serum Conditioner online, I was pretty …
Avon Bubble Bath
I love taking a bath. It is my way of relaxing after a hard days work. I used to buy bubble baths from the grocery store but I find that all they do is cleanse my skin, because after each bath I find my skin to be dry, just …
BioSilk Silk Therapy Hair Conditioner
I find that my hair usually tends to flourish when I use silk-based conditioners on it; therefore, I have gone through quite a couple of them, usually achieving great results at first, only to have my hair grow accustomed to the conditioner and for it to lose its effectiveness. …
Make Up For Ever Face & Body Liquid Makeup
Normally I don’t buy make up from a department store since it’s so expensive. I usually stick to drugstore brands or something inexpensive like Avon. But, on a recent shopping trip with my friend, we were lured into the sales counter where a salesperson was demonstrating this …
China Glaze Nail Polish in FYI
I am a total nail polish freak and have been collecting nail polish for the past few years. I am absolutely in love with the stuff and my collection has grown to be quite big in the recent few years. I try to collect polishes of ever variety, no …
Ellana Mineral Foundation
I almost found a holy grail* product in Ellana minerals but sadly, it broke me out.
Last year, I road-tested the Ellana mineral foundation and finishing powder for more than a week. There were a lot of things I liked about it at the start. First of all, the foundation …
Maybelline Studio Cream Eyeliner
Okay so makeup seems to be a very important thing now a days. And yes I would know being a 16 year old girl. It always seem to be the constant battle of deciding which make up looks the most natural or what color fits my skin tone best. …
Rare Minerals Blemish Therapy
I feel like I have tried every acne product out there that is targeted as ’spot therapy.’ Now that I have reached my late 20’s, I fortunately don’t have whole patches of acne as I did when I was a teenager. However, it seems that at any given time, …
L’Oreal Vive Pro Nutri Gloss Conditioning Treatment
What mainly attracted me to L’Oreal Pearl Protein Complex Vive Pro Nutri Gloss Conditioning Treatment at first was the pretty pink bottle that it comes in. I saw the ads for it in magazines and I wanted to try it but when I went to the store and saw …
Starr Olive Oil
I had made the statement that I do not like buying lotions, etc because I prefer using things already in the home. It was suggested to me by a friend to use oilve oil after my bath for my dry, itchy skin. I figured I’d give it …
Baby Magic Soothing Creamy Baby Oil
One of the things that new babies need is a cream or a lotion to moisturize their skin. When a baby is born their skin is very thin, and fragile, and delicate. The skin of a new baby dries and crack and even peels if it is not …
Delux Beauty Lip Gloss in Addison
The Product
Addison shade is darker than bubble gum pink but lighter than Barbie pink which has micro shimmers that are not noticeable on the lips.
The container is a tiny 5mL tube with a short black handle and a standard doe-foot applicator.
The texture is thin but a little creamy.
I don’t …
The Body Shop Blush Brush
I have very carefully collected my make-up brushes though the years now. I patiently research the best kind in the market, and I always watch out for sales. Unlike most of other things, I can say that my make-up brushes were not a result of impulse buying. An example …
Incoco Dry Nail Polish Strips in French Manicure
I like peeling stickers. That has nothing to do with the feline sensation of scratching one’s claws over anything; it’s just a twisted fact about me. In fact, I like stickers so much that I would gladly replace nail polishes to something like the Incoco nail polish …
Impulse Body Spray New York
Originally I think this was meant to be a Limited Edition Body Spray, but that was a good few years ago and I can find this scent in most Shops that I buy my products from.
There was 3 of them in the Cities collection —“ New york, Paris and …
Covergirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers Guava Splash
My main reason for buying this lip gloss was the sweet, delicious smell it had. I’ve never had a real guava before, but this lip gloss smelled really nice! I’ve never smelled anything like it before, it was so unique that I had to try it out. Plus, the …
China Glaze Nail Polish in For Audrey
I heard about this brand of nail polish from Youtube. A lot of makeup gurus were raving about this brand of nail polish because it works wonders and is a cheaper than brands like OPI. The color most people seemed to love was called For Audrey. I decided to …
Mane and Tail Shampoo
If the eyes are the doorway to a person’s soul, then why didn’t anyone mention about the hair?
Women are really concerned about their hair and I am not an exemption. If a woman complains about her damaged hair, almost every woman can relate to this stuff. We all look for …
Avon Gold Travel Cosmetics Bag
I love my mom! She knows how much makeup I own, and knew the previous cosmetic bag I was using was not adequate enough to hold my two hundred plus collection of makeup and applicators. Whenever she buys something from Avon that she knows would be a great investment …
L’oreal Color Riche Nutri Shine Lipstick in Vivid Rose
The Product
Vivid Rose shade is a hot watermelon pink color with no shimmers or chunky glitters.
The container is a sturdy, rectangular, transparent purple tube with a chrome-colored part at the side where the L’Oreal name is embossed.
This has no offensive scent as far as I remember.
This has an emollient …
St. Ives Exfoliating Apricot Scrub for Sensitive Skin
One thing about having combination skin is that I can have a clear complexion one day and the next it can be covered in pimples and zits. I was having this problem particularly bad last summer and none of the anti-acne creams and washes that I purchased seemed to …
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser
I have used various clean and clear products before. There have been some good experieinces and some bad ones, but mostly I have had decent results with most clean and clear products. However, a several months ago I started breaking out terribly bad all over my face. I was …
Body contours spa facial
I had the opuurtunity to get a facial done at Body contours spa on a promotional package. 2 days ago, I had the facial. I had severe acne problem due to pregnancy and they recommended a facial. It was a really good experience and took 2 hours. …
