Burt’s Bees Acne Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Max Factor, Miracle Touch (Make Up)
I’ll tell you of my latest acquisition in regard to makeup bases: Max Factor Miracle Touch.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
The first thing I say is that I previously used a powder foundation from L’Oreal (Accord Perfect Minerals) and also is a marvel with which I thoroughly recommend it.
The reason to try this …
Wet N Wild Color Icon Palette
The Wet N Wild Color Icon Palette gets a rating of 8 out of 10 in my opinion. If it were not for the fragility of this eye shadow palette, I would give this a perfect rating. That is how much I love the product itself. Docking marks for …
Naturals Almond Oil & Avocado Conditioner by Avon
As I have stated many times in my reviews, though I do adore expensive luxury beauty products I also love a good bargain and feel that products from Avon offer both of these qualities.

Baby Bench Cologne
My kids are both overly playful and so they come home sweaty most of the time. But you’ll be surprised that they never came home smelly. That is because they’ve been wearing Baby Bench Cologne. The smell really lasts on skin and on clothes. I’ve been using this product …
Clinique Wash-Away Gel Cleanser 150 ml
If you are the kind of person who’d like to have only one facial cleanser, then this is one of the best products for you. Even if Clinique Wash-Away Gel Cleanser is recommended to be used with other Clinique products, it can still stand on its own. You can …
John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Styling Spray
I finally decided to buy this product, just because I was fed up with my hair. I have wavy frizzy hair once my hair air dries. It really is a bad time to get my hair looking great. I was hoping this product would work, but it didn’t.
I …

I thought £7.00 is a lot for …

Garnier Eye Contour Whitening Cream

MAC Ombre Eye Shadow in Bitter
This Bitter shade from the selection of MAC Ombre eye shadows was absolutely the most eccentric eye color I ever had the nerves to wear. It’s a kooky color that’s not conventional and is guaranteed to gather people’s attention. At least, that was my initial impression of the …
Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Love That Red
Our company’s 2010 Christmas party had a Rock ‘n’ Roll theme, and I belong to the group of Gothic Rockers. I am not really into goths nor into rock. My personality is that of a sweet little girl who loves to dress up like a Barbie, and — you …
Bath and Body Works Liplicious Gloss in Pomme Cider
I adore this lip gloss. I want to say that I think they have improved their formula with their Liplicious glosses. They seem more pigmented and less glittery. Or at least maybe the glitter is more finely milled? Anyway, I had tried these at one point a few years …
NARS Blush and Bronzing Duo

Ambi Bodycare Soft & Even Stretchmark Diminishing Body Oil

PedEgg
I’m one of those girls that goes barefoot (or at least in flip flops) all summer long and that definitely takes a tole on my feet. If anyone else has thick, calloused and cracked heels, you know what I’m talking about.

I have very dry skin and my feet are the worst. I have tried lotions. I’ve tried probably 50 different kinds. I’ve tried creams, bag balm, vaseline, Shea Butter, and all kind of other types of creams. I’ve even tried Avons Foot Cream that claims to soften cracked heals. …
Palmolive Shampoo Conditioner
Back then, I had a problem with my hair. My hair may look beautiful and shiny when you look at it but once you touch it, it’s not what you think how soft it would be. It’s very frizzy. I was really disappointed about it so I thought I …
Zeno Heat Treat Blemish Prevention Treatment
