Ever Bilena Lip Colour Xtreme Shine Lipstick
You look everywhere and the festive colors, the lighting fixtures of some commercial establishments —“ they give you a sense (or a whiff) of cheerfulness. And to me, that’s synonymous to parties, but I have a bad feeling that’s not going to happen now that I’m busy. …

Tigi Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey Treatment Shampoo
I’ve tried a lot of shampoos but Tigi series is really great, they are more expensive than other standard shampoos like Pantene, Fructis and similar products but it is much better than them.

Maybelline ExpertWear Eyeshadow Chai Latte Quad
I love purchasing eye shadow quads from manufacturers like Maybelline and other similar drugstore brands because they are typically very reasonably priced and are small so they are easy to travel with. It also combines all the colors you could ever need to create one look within one product. …
Philosophy Butterscotch Bliss Shower Gel
This is another one of Philosophy’s many candy-scented shower gels. I own quite a few of the ones that are reminiscient of sweet goodies, like Cookies N’ Creme and Bubble Gum Blow Out. A Philosophy lover like me could really get carried away and buy practically every other one …

I was introduced to this product by my favorite aunt when shopping for supplies to braid hair. My aunt, much like myself wears her hair natural and free of perm and relaxers. She’s also into the natural scene of hair products that doesn’t have everything under the sun …
Schwarzkopf Perfect Mousse Permanent Hair Dye
