Garnier Nutritioniste Daily anti-fatigue eye cream
I have been a big fan of Garnier beauty products for a long time, and recently bought Garnier Nutritioniste Daily anti-fatigue eye cream from their Skin Renew line. Being over thirty meant I now need a more serious kind of eye cream, for one thing I am beginning to …
Giga Nature’s Therapy Virgin Coconut Oil
I had always wanted to use coconut oil because it was known to have a lot of uses in daily life. Since I’m concerned with the amount of moisturization on my face (yes, I still want to moisturize my face despite the fact that I am quite oily skinned …
Coppertone Oil Free Faces Sunblock
Coppertone Oil Free Faces offers sunblock protection that isn’t greasy. I recently took it with me on a trip to Florida and was pleased with the results. It goes on white, so you have to really rub it in to not see the white, but once you do, you …
Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner
I like to use leave-in conditioner when I am either feeling particularly lazy or when I am in a huge rush and do not really have the time to devote to my normal hair care routine. Some leave-in conditioners are pretty worthless and do not do much to keep …
Maybelline New York Expert Wear Designer Chocolates Eye Shadow
Maybelline New York Expert Wear Designer Chocolates Eye Shadow gives my eyes a natural look that nicely frames my baby blues. I don’t wear a lot of makeup as I tend to be what some people call a granola. I like nature and the outdoors and I don’t go …
Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo
I have tried numerous dry shampoos over the years. My hair is naturally curly, but I usually blow it straight. It takes quite a while for me to get the look I want, I have to blow dry for at least 10 minutes, then use a flat …
Yummy Ice Cream Mint Chocolate 2 in 1 Body Wash and Shampoo
I was looking for a fun and exciting all in one wash for a little one I see because it was her birthday. However, she can only use organic vegan body care products so I decided to get her the Yummy Ice Cream Mint Chocolate 2 in 1 Body …
TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray
Since my hair is very dry, I always have at least one hair product around that protects my hair from heat damage from blow-drying, curling, or straightening. I try not to use heat products every day, but I never use heat on my hair without putting some protective spray …
Kojie San Face Lightening Cream
I have not been a true believer of whitening products. I mean, why whiten when you can enjoy normal, tanned skin? However sometimes one really needs to have something to help at least —˜lighten up’ those dark areas on the skin. One of my biggest issues would be my …
GiGi Waxing Mini Pro Kit
Like many women, I became tired of shaving my legs every couple of days only to become frustrated with the process. I opted to go to a beauty salon and have my legs waxed. It was a pretty good experience and I felt it was reasonably priced. …
Biosilk Hydrating Shampoo
While Biosilk belongs to these “professional” brands that tend to be sold at high prices in regular shops, I bought a small bottle of both shampoo and conditioner at somewhat (though not drastically) reduced price last year. Unfortunately, neither the shampoo nor the conditioner managed to live up to …
Ponds Pore Minimizing Wash
I used to love this facial wash because it helped me clear away the huge pores on my face. But I noticed recently that it doesn’t help anymore. My pores are growing ever larger and accumulating more and more dirt; thus my nose looks like a dirt road with …
3 Minutes Energizing Mask by Yves Roche
I am a huge fan of Yves Rocher beauty products and try to buy them as often as I can whether by catalogue or online. Recently I purchased a second 3 Minute Mask from them. This time it was an Energizing Mask with peppermint extract.
I have been working a …
Himani Fast relief balm
It is one of those products that I usually keep in my home. It is a multipurpose balm which is basically used as a painkiller. You can call it a complete family product since it may be used by anyone and anytime in family may need it. Children in …
MAC Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolor
Simply put, this is the best long-wearing lipstick or lipgloss I have ever tried. It truly does stay on most of the day.
I am a big fan of beauty products and have tried almost every drug-store and department store brand of long-wearing lipstick out there. A friend …
Essence Souffle Touch Blush
For years, Essence has wowed me with some amazing products for extremely affordable prices - their buttery Silky Touch Blush, their I-look-totally-airbrushed loose powder and even their fabulous lipsticks. However, I have to say, this was one of the rare duds.
I first tried this when I was about thirteen …
Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream
This is not a good eye cream for me because it mainly lacks the ingredients to really give your eyes the anti-tired look. Because my work is stressful, I had to have an eye cream which can conceal the after effects of stress. This eye cream mainly contains Vitamin …
Frederic Fekkai Styling Gel
Frederic Fekkai Styling Gel is a gel that I most certainly will not be purchasing a second time. For the amount of gel that comes in the bottle, namely four ounces, at the price, which happens to be a little over fifteen dollars, the value simply is not there. …
Lashem Measurable Difference Lash Gel
I used Lashem Measurable Difference Lash Gel which cost $33 online. I used it for a few months, and using it helped me learn a few things. Here are my experiences.
Lashem Measurable Difference Lash Gel is made by Lashem. It weighs 3.5 ml, and looks just like …
Loreal Visible Eye Lift: Concealer
What ever you do please do not buy Loreal Visible Eye Lift Concealer in neutral 181. Up front and honest I think this product is a huge let down, a waste of time, and a waste of money. Please keep reading but hear me you will hate this product …
Avon’s Night Magic in Evening Musk
Avon’s Night Magic roll on deodorant in “evening musk” is wonderful. It has that nice musk scent that is not overpowering. It is powdery-musk scented and glides onto your skin smoothly with its roller ball applicator. One bad thing is that with more liquid deodorants you …
Clinique Precious Posy Blush
I recently purchased the Clinique Precious Posy Blush. I spent a lot of time struggling over the decision of whether to purchase this particular blush because of the shade. I did not want it to show up as too orange on my skin. I ordered this product online so …
Etude House Super Aqua Sun Guard SPF 35 / PA++
Summer is the time of the year wherein we get to relax at the beach. It is the time to get together with family and friends. Summer time comes with a hot temperature. This is actually the hottest season of the year. Amidst all these, we need to bear …
Bed Head Ego Boost
Is your hair dry and brittle? Does your hair need extra moisture throughout the day? Do you need a leave-in conditioner that actually does the job? Then I definitely recommend the Bed Head Ego Boost. It is in a triangular shaped bottle that is hot pink with a green …
Avon Sensitive Bubble Bath
First of all I would say that I don’t think I would ever go out and buy a fragrance free bubble bath. So why am I reviewing it? I got a bottle of it for free and although this lay in my cupboard unopened for ages I decided to …
Safeguard Blue Bar Antibacterial Soap
My husband recently bought a bar of Safeguard Soap in Blue. I have always used Safeguard as our family soap in my mom’s house because she trusts the brand and also for the anti-bacterial properties it has. This has been in the business for years now and people trust …
Dirty Works Scentsational Body Spray
This —˜Dirty Works’ range of bath products is apparently exclusive to Sainsbury’s supermarket and as the packaging is very similar to the kitzsch Soap & Glory packaging, it always catches my eye. This body spray is my second product in the range and I really like this too, …
Living Proof Full Root Lifting Spray
Living Proof Full Root Lifting Spray is one of those products I really had no intention buying, because I’d already tried a small store worth of lifting and body products for the hair and had already found a few that I really like and was using regularly. I have …
Estee Lauder Two in One Eyeshadow Wet/Dry Formula
I have owned this eyeshadow compact for several months. To be honest, I rarely use it and I had completely forgotten that I owned it until discovering it while cleaning out my makeup bag. I can not remember how much I paid for it originally which I …
Bottega Verde Ginger Body Scrub
I like all scrubs very much: body scrubs and face scrubs. I like how they make my skin so soft, like baby’s and I always buy them. I always buy the same scrub but sometimes when I see new products I buy them to try them. Or sometimes I …
Sally Hansen Diamond 12 Hour Lip Treatment
I love lip products. I literally have a collection of hundreds of lip sticks, glosses, and balms. I have been purchasing the Sally Hansen’s Diamond 12 Hour Lip Treatment for ages now and have it in several different shades. It is one of those staple products in my makeup …
Avon Lavender Bubble Bath
I do like the odd Bubble bath and wished that I went in for one more than what I do. I would love 1 every night, but it isn’t practical. I like to soak in 1 for about 40 minutes and due to a busy life then I feel …
Kerastase Oleo Curl line
After hearing a lot of good comments by some people I knew from the hair dressing business claiming Kerastase is the absolute best thing the industry’s got to offer, I decided to spend my hard-earned money in hope it will meet my (fairly big, I’ll admit) expectations. The only …
Cover Girl Professional Super Thick Lash
I’m not a big make-up wearer. I don’t use a ton of foundation, or lipsticks or generally anything too heavy. I do consider mascara and light eyeshadow to be an essential wear, though. I am also someone who adheres to keeping my mascara fresh and purchase …
Lip Vitamins (From Claires)
“Lip Vitamins” is a pack of chapsticks they sell at Claires. They are suppose to make your lips look good and healthy- well let me tell you they do their job!!
Just to give you a little information about the package- They come in packs of four. Colors are light …
Ardell Eyelash Growth Serum
A few months back I bought Ardell Eyelash Growth Serum for around $25 online. It weighed 1.7 oz. Here is my review.
This product works by lengthening your eyelashes, and promote their optimum growth. To be honest, it is not exactly a natural product which contains all natural ingredients …
Maybelline Eye Studio Mono Eye Shadow
It is interesting that for a person that says that is not fond on make-up I own tons and tons of it. I am too easily persuaded to buy something as soon as I see % off sign or sale sign. This one though I bought at a full …
Lancome Ageless Minerale
Lancome Ageless Minerale is the best makeup I have ever used. Against the advice of several cosmetics professionals, who told me that mineral makeup made lines, creases and wrinkles more noticeable, I tried Lancome’s version of this powder foundation. Much to my surprise, I noticed a significant reduction in …
Clinique Superbalm Tinted Lip Treatment
I want to preface this review with the fact that I have had chapped lips since I could remember. Nothing really kept them smooth…. and I mean nothing. I have tried every product from $1.99 balms to $25 treatments. It was my ongoing struggle. I …
L’Oreal Revitalift Deep Set Wrinkle Repair Night
Among the L’Oreal products, this was the only one I tried. Revitalift is specifically, as the name suggest, for skin aging. Problems such as my eye area starts to surface a very unhealthy fine lines. This is what I don’t like the most given that when you apply liquid …
M.Asam Aqua Intense Hyaluron Facial Cleanser
I bought this cleanser in a specially priced kit for under $30. It is a nice cleanser but I am glad that I did not pay the regular retail of $19.95 for this. The cleanser is clear with little exfoliating beads in it. First one must wet …
Inoco Express Nail Strips in French Manicure
I like doing my nails a lot. I think that clean polished finger nails are very feminine and classy. The downside is that I am not very good at applying typical liquid polish. It was this issue that led me to look at nail color stickers. One brand that …
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme
I have tried numerous products to try to tame my dry, frizzy hair. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme caught my eye recently because it was less expensive than the frizz-ease serum that I had purchased in the past. I paid around $6 for a tube of …
Maybelline Superstay 24HR Concealer
A concealer is one of my important saviors in terms of makeup. There are times right that we need a quick cover up in our face because something inevitable happens. Pimples often sprung out of nowhere which is so annoying. At times, we have dark circles because of staying …
L’oreal True Match Minerals Foundation
I have oily and very sensitive skin. Applying makeup have always been a big problem for me. I’ve tried several makeup brands in the market, trying to look for that cosmetic line that will get rid of my problems. You see, a few hours after applying makeup, my oily …
Avon far Away Body Spray
This is the Perfumed Body Spray version of the popular Body Spray. This is a nice Body Spray although it is quite a strong scent, it gives good coverage and long lasting fragrance.
This comes in a 75ml tin and the right price for this is £3.50. I think this …
Etude House BB Magic Cream
I used to have a dull and tired skin even though I use a primer before I apply a foundation. I noticed that when a whole day ends, I looked so tired and suddenly I noticed that I am aging so fast. A friend told me to use a …
Ponds Sandal, Pure Sandal Talc Powder with Natural Sunscreen
This is what I use as loose powder to set my foundation and as a body deodorant.
Although these days there are so many body sprays and expensive loose powders I find that the Pond’s Sandal talc is most effective and economical. While body sprays are easy …
Synaa Henna Powder
I started using Henna on my hair and scalp on a regular basis ever since I started noticing premature gray hairs when I was in my early twenties.
Although I did start with using chemical dyes for about a couple of times I quickly switched to 100% pure and natural …
Abba Pure Detox Shampoo Molasses & Baking Soda
I wasn’t so sure about this product, because I really believed that it would end up weighing my hair down too much, but I was honestly pretty intrigued by the idea of molasses being in a shampoo. I figured, if nothing else, I’d probably smell great! My hair is …
