Sephora by OPI Nail Polish

L’Oreal Infalliable Advanced Never Fail Makeup
I really wanted this product to work, and it kind of did except it IMMEDIATELY caused me to break out!

Clinique 3-Step Acne Solutions Skin Care Regime

1st Pharma Alcohol and Disinfectant
This product is confusing. It’s alcohol with lemon extracts that destroys bacterias and viruses and it’s an antiseptic and disinfectant as well. The lemon extract scents are really heavenly-smelling and it doesn’t smell like regular powerful-smelling isopropyl alcohol and that’s good. This is 70% solution with moisturizer, but I …

Clinique Almost Makeup
Clinique Almost Makeup is very light foundation. I guess that’s why it is called “Almost Makeup” - it is almost not thick enough. Probably not for those who need a lot of coverage / concealing from their makeup. According to Clinique, this foundation provides “sheerest coverage for all skin …

Biore Warming Anti Blackhead Cream Cleanser
This is a very high quality cleanser and although I am not sure it removes blackheads it defiantely seems to refine the skin and even the tone. I noticed results just with ONE use and that goes to show that this is an effective product. I love the way …

Maybelline Pure Concealer Blemish Treatment Stick
Just like my L’Oreal Pimple Eraser Stick, this Maybelline Pure Concealer Blemish Treatment Stick is my lifeline when I get an acne, which in my case is once a month during my period. It is actually a concealer with healing properties for acnes. During the times that I have …
Face by Sephora (Normal Skin)

I am so in love with this nail polish, words can’t even explain! As soon as I laid my eyes on it, I knew that I just had to have it! Now I have tens of nail polishes from OPI already, but I honestly feel like I can never …
Zen Zest Bergamot and Neroli Uplifting Massage Oil
Stress breaks down my skin’s natural barrier and compromises my ability to retain moisture, causing intense dryness. It’s kinda weird for me since this is my first time to have experienced such skin problem. When I met my dermatologist for a consultation, she gave me a bit of lesson to …
Clean and Clear Deep Action Cleanser
Breakouts—¦.how can you have breakouts in your late 30’s? Was it because I never had them when I was a teenager? Or is it that no one on earth would pass a lifetime without experiencing having pimples? I thought I won’t be so conscious about it …
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist “Deeeeep” Conditioner
Let me start by saying I was an Aussie product fan way back in the late eighties when my local drugstore started selling samples of their products. My hair has been coarse since I was a teen. It is naturally curly and runs toward the dry side no matter …

Schick Quattro Titanium
I have always had trouble with stubble growing back too quickly after shaving. It seemed as if I could never manage to make it till 3 o’clock before my 5 o’clock shadow would show up. I tried several different brands of razors, but none worked like the Schick Quattro Titanium.
The …

Boots No 7 Moisture Drench Lipstick
I am not a big lipstick fan, but I got this particular one a while ago for free and decided to give it a try. I got the darkish pink color, thought I haven’t found out what exact shade it is. Boots do a a very wide range of …
Nivea Visage Q10
I haven’t always been a huge fan of Nivea skin care products. I find their face creams greasy and quite ineffective for the most part, so I was surprised at the results I got from using Nivea Visage Q10 Advanced Wrinkle Reducer Cleansing Lotion.
This product is a make-up remover, …
Loreal Total Repair 5 Repairing Conditioner
Haven’t I blabbered enough already that I’m fond of using Loreal’s hair care products? Let me do that again. For now, my eyes turned to Loreal’s total repair 5, a repairing conditioner of sorts. My local grocery store is well stocked of Loreal items, and …

So this is by far the more expensive option as …
Rimmel Glam’Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara
I truly regret purchasing this mascara! I was pretty hyped up when I saw this mascara advertised on one of my favorite magazines, I just had to check it out for myself and see what all the rave was for this! Rimmel isn’t a brand that I usually go …
Clinique Acne Solutions Night Treatment Gel
I bought Clinique Acne Solutions Night Treatment Gel for $27online, weighing 24 oz. Here is my review.

ANEW ULTIMATE Contouring Eye System
It has seemed, over the years, that I just can’t catch a break. If I’m not dealing with acne in my youth, and occassional blemishes in my adulthood, then it’s also these awful dark circles under my eyes that make me, with my pale skin, look like a vampire, …
Clinique Superdefence Triple Action Moisturizer

Wickies baby oil, camomile 6
I never use body oils because I don’t like them. Actually I don’t like the feeling of oil on my skin, not even the oil you use in the kitchen. My mother, in the other hand, always uses oils, she never uses anything else for her skin, while I …
