Cover Girl Wet Slicks Amazemint
This is the first lip gloss in the Wet Slicks line by Cover Girl. I tried the Plum Crazy shade, which is really a shade that I would wear that often I only got it because I like the color and when I want to add some color then …
Nivea Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream
My hands were never particularly dry, but I do particularly like to keep a hand cream in my bag at all times. It’s just always there. Until recently I was using a lavender body cream from Boots, but recently I saw this Nivea hand cream. It looked exactly the …
Alberto European Create Mega Hold Hairspray
I’m always looking for new ways to style my hair and so hairspray is definitely an important part of the process. I’m constantly going through cans and cans of hairspray so I like to look for quality hairspraays that are not too expensive. Alberto European’s hairspray did just that. …
Avon Naturals Body Lotion
I have recently had the pleasure of purchasing a bottle of Avon Naturals Body Lotion and I have to say, I am very pleased with this product.
It spreads generously on your skin, which means you don’t have to apply alot and you can get a great number …
Beauche Beauty Bar
I discovered Beauche Beauty Bar through a friend. Her skin is so smooth and I could not help but get distracted whenever I talk to her. My mind always wandered to questions such as, how does she do that? I wonder how much she spends for diamond peels?
One day, …
Q Fitt Collection Stocking Wig Cap
The first time that I wore a wig was about six years ago. Since then, I have frequently enjoyed the convenience that wearing a hairpiece provides me. A lot of wear wearers choose to wear stocking caps under their wigs to reduce the amount of puffiness that …
Olay Body Creme Ribbons Body Wash with Almond Oil
I’ve never been much of a fan of Oil of Olay products. They always seem more designated in their design for older woman, and I’m only in my mid-thirties and I’m not quite ready yet to give in to the possibility that I’m just flat-out getting older and might …
Chi Wet to Dry Ceramic Flat Iron
I have very thick and curly hair that gets very frizzy when it’s raining or very humid outside. I was always trying new straighteners to get my hair straight and frizz free. I realized that cheap drugstore or grocery store straigteners would not help with this problem.
I …
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 …
Garnea Eye Roller
I would recommend the Garnea Eye Roller. Mornings often found me looking in the mirror and to my horror finding really bad, ugly bags under my eyes. They would not go away. I tried many products and concealers to no avail. I was very self conscious of them …
Nuance Oxygen Activated Foaming Face Wash
I recently purchased the Nuance Oxygen Activated Foaming Face Wash. Nuance is a new cosmetics line by Salma Hayek that I have seen at CVS and in the last few weeks, I have purchased several different products from this line. I definitely love how flawless and beautiful Salma Hayek …
Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Eye Shadow Palette
Ok, so I finally got my Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Eye Shadow Palette. I had been reading so many rave reviews and tutorials using this product that I can’t tell you how badly I had wanted to have it.
I had ordered this palette from eBay …
Clean and Clear Morning Burst Cleanser
I haven’t used a Clean and Clear product in years. I’ve been strictly a Neutrogena girl when it came to skin care products, but with the current state of the economy and money being tight I had to cut back on some of my expenses, like skin care stuff. …
Vichy Cellebiotic Night Compensating and Regenerating Balm
I have to admit the name of this face cream makes me laugh a bit; Vichy Cellebiotic Night Compensating and Regenerating Balm. This Vichy product doesn’t advertise itself as a face cream which is what it is, but as a ‘balm’ implying that somehow it is thicker than a …
Pond’s White Beauty Pinkish White Glow Lightening Facial Foam
I tried this because I thought it can cleanse my face and at the same time delivers its promise that it can lighten your skin with the rosy white promise. I was not really impressed with Pond’s Facial Wash. Since before I’ve tried using their face cream and I …
Satinelle Epilator
Philips Satinelle Epilator is a good epillator. I feel it is similar to waxing in results. Painful in any case.I am a bit afraid to use this due to pain sensitive nature of mine. Gives good results and no more hassle of going to a pedicurist …
Olay Definity Night Cream
Olay Definity Night Cream is definitely a great skin care product. First of all I like the fact that I can put it on at night and let it do the work while I am asleep. After using it for a while I can definitely see a big …
Lancome Color Design Lipstick in Groupie
This Lancome lipstick was one of several lipsticks that I received as a bonus item when I made a purchase at one of the department stores. And just like some of Lancome’s other lipsticks, this one has a name that makes no sense: Groupie. You don’t have any idea …
Myra E Moisturizer
Along with the Vitamin E I was taking before, I also used Myra E Facial Moisturizer because I think it is good for the skin. Well, the commercial model really looks good and I want to achieve that same glowing face. I want to achieve a blooming complexion. I …
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
I do not wear eye make-up very often, because I have an eye condition called blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids). But this gel eyeliner was offered as a bonus with purchase at the Bobbi Brown counter at Bloomingdale’s, and I am a Bobbi Brown lover. So I didn’t mind …
Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser
Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser is a great product for cleaning the face, the pores and fighting blemishes. When they call it an “ice cleanser” they mean it. As soon as you put this stuff on your face, you can feel the “fighting ice”. It becomes very cool and …
Clean and Clear Makeup Dissolving Facial Cleansing Wipes
I ran out of my Farlin’s cleansing wipes which I always use when I want to refresh myself. I needed to get another pack but the health section in SM Manila did not have any stocks at all. I was looking for a replacement that I can use for …
Max Grey Men’s Comb Set
I like to buy combs that can be good for the entire family. It seems that we have a hard time keeping up with them and I find myself buying them often. Recently I purchased a pack of the Max Grey Men’s Comb Set. This set was only a …
Aztec Healing Clay Mask
A few months ago, I bought Aztec Healing Clay Mask by Aztec Secret for around $5 online. It weighed 1 lb. Here is my review.
Okay, so when I bought this product I already had a lot of acne, though I did not know why. Maybe it was my …
Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion
For my birthday, my friend gave me a gift card to Bath and Body Works. I went there a few weeks ago and decided to try out their anti-bacterial hand lotion because it sounded like a really interesting concept. Basically, it is kind of like hand sanitizer, only it …
Bearpaw “UGG” Type Boots in Black
My grandma got me a pair of Bearpaw “UGG” type boots almost a year ago. I got them in size 9, black, and they are the taller version ones that go about halfway up your shins.
I absolutely adore these boots. I have literally worn these boots every single day …
NYC Ultra Last Long Lasting Lipstick in Plum Rum
I have been getting bored with my many neutral lipsticks so I thought I would go for this deep reddish shade from the NYC Ultra Last long lasting lipstick range, especially as it was only £1.99 from Tesco. This is an incredibly cheap price for a lipstick and …
Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Dusting Powder
I love the idea of all natural products, but the bottom line is that it has to also work. Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Dusting Powder is an alternative to your basic baby powder. The problem with most baby powder is that it has talc. Talc is …
Wipro Shikakai soap
Have you ever heard of a solid shampoo ? This is the only one known to me as well. This is probably the oldest shampoo brand and product of India, and probably the only that comes in solid soap form. I used it long ago, when there …
Maybelline Lip Smooth
I have practiced being a make up artist at the same time so that while I am doing portrait photography, I can multi-task doing make up and taking the shots as well. I learned how to make up one time when the make up artist I hired could not …
Bottega Verde Body Lotion Green Tea
When I was younger I never used to use body creams and body lotions because I started to use them few years ago when I became a member of Bottega Verde. Bottega Verde is Italian cosmetic company. I like them very much because all their products are natural …
Beauty Bar Vixen Lipstick
This is one of my favorite shades when I’m out partying —“ the shade is called Vixen and it’s quite a dark shade; it’s perfect for clubbing and events and not really suitable for everyday use like for office wear or school wear. The shade is a dark maroon …
Watsons Milky Whitening Body Lotion
I purchased this brand when I was in a hurry to go home. This rich moisturizing lotion has a soft and mild scent. The squeezable container is filled with 400 mL of pure lotion. It says that it protects your skin from UV-A and UV-B rays. It has also …
Tesco Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
This big economy bottle of body lotion is from Tesco’s own range and it cost 99 pence for 400ml. There was a choice between this one, Cocoa Butter, or Aloe Vera, but I chose the Cocoa Butter as this one is a richer formula for drier skin. …
Lancome Le Magnetique Nail Polish
I love this nail polish! I purchased this because I wanted that wasn’t popular among people my age, something that people would just have to ask me where I got it from, because it was just so nice looking! Well anyways, I decided that I wouldn’t purchase this at …
Mary Kay Nourishing body lotion
I’m not a girly girl or one with particularly dry skin so I don’t typically buy body lotion, at least not for myself. One Christmas my boyfriend’s mother gave me a gift bag filled with all sorts of beauty goodies and a couple of things in the bag were …
Conair Frizz Defense Ionic Styling Hair Dryer
I have to say what really drew me to this hair dryer was it’s color. It is bright pink. I love the style , and it is a good quality dryer by Conair. I usually save this one to take with me when I go on vacation , but …
Skin Organics Olive Eye Cream
I recently was looking for an organic eye cream and came across the Skin Organics Olive Eye Cream. I ended up picking some up and have been using it for about a month now. It has definitely made my eyes looking younger and brighter and I really like the …
Alberto VO5 Herbal Escapes Kiwi Lime Clarify Conditioner
I purchased this product a few weeks ago from Dollar Tree for around $1. At the time, the store was out of the usual version of the product that I purchase so I reluctantly decided to try this one. Normally, I am very hesitant to use products …
MAC Mineralized Satin Finish SPF 15 Foundation
There are several mistakes women do. Let me cite some examples. We often apply face powder after putting face creams. Face powder normally clogs pores and we often use it to cover our oily face. Women always apply face powder to hide too much sebum in their faces not …
Rimmel 60 Seconds Extreme Nail Polish
I love just about all of the Rimmel products out there. They are all affordable and high quality and this nail polish fits right in with the rest of them. It was not a big surprise to try this polish and discover how much I like it. There are …
Gillette Fusion razor
The Gillette Fusion razor is a marvellous piece of engineering that works for the purpose intended and, unlike some other products in the same field, lives up to the scientific explanation on the television adverts. Unfortunately though it is one of the most disappointing consumer products you can buy …
Nablus Natural Olive Oil soap bar (with tea tree oil)
This olive-skin coloured soap bar is packed in a simple green box, handmade in Nablus and packed with minerals. This soap bar was appparently best suited for treating oily skin and getting rid of acne.

GT Bleaching soap

Almond Shower Gel by The Body Shop
I’ve recently become a bit of a Body Shop obsessive after many years of not using their products. I used to work practically on the doorstep to a large Body Shop store in my home town and often frequented there but when I moved jobs I somehow lost …
VS Pro Voluptuous FX Mascara
Once again, this mascara is also from the brand new line by Victoria’s Secret called VS Pro. I recently ran out of my DiorShow (well I did not run out of it exactly, it was just getting really clumpy because I have had for more than three months now). …
Chanel Aqualumiere Gloss in Vanilla
There’s nothing particularly dazzling about lips bathed in liquid gloss. I can hoard all the cheap drugstore-variety products for my pleasure. I used to think lip gloss was a dispensable thing. Oftentimes, it barely lasts because I’m oblivious and can’t figure out where it is or …
