Aloe Vesta Body Wash & Shampoo

Opi nail treatments nail envy natural nail strengthener

E.L.F. Studio Matte Lip Color in Coral
I adore matte stains on lips. Regardless how unstable a matte lipstick is, I’m seduced by its rustic, dusty appeal. Another elf lip product that got me spending the second time (price was forgivable) was the Studio Matte lip color. Outside, the weather’s getting warmer, so …

Several sources say that using cocoa butter daily can help reduce the severity of existing stretch marks and also help at preventing new ones from forming. Unfortunately I already had some new ones developing and existing ones. I went to the store and looked at many different brands on …
Vaseline Intensive Total Moisture Locking Lotion

Herbal Essence Totally Twisted Curl Scrunching Gel

Walmart Hair Salon: Colville, WA, USA
I have been to this hair cutting place twice. The first time, I requested that my hair be cut to chin-length, but the lady who was cutting my hair seemed very reluctant to do so. Eventually I convinced her that yes, I did want it that short (it was …
NYX Round Lipstick Indian Pink

Mac Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 Soothing Beige
I have not seen a lip balm in a jar and this one kind of surprised me since it comes in a jar/pot that you could easily confuse with a foundation or something else. When I took a closer look at it, I noted that it was a lip …
Sephora Oil Blotting Film
I was a little skeptical at first. I thought my skin wasn’t oily so nothing would show up. The oil that I did have made the film almost see-through!
The film itself is this odd material that soaks up the oil on your face. It’s nice to be able to …
Sally Hansen Extra Strength Hair Remover for the face
I am reviewing the Sally Hansen extra strength creme hair remover for the face. This product brags that its creme removes coarse hair fast, and reduces the appearance of regrowth. In addition to the creme, this product includes a moisturizer for use after the hair removing process.

Dashing Diva Nail Polish in Mocha
I’m always willing to shed 5 dollars for a nail polish if that entails treating my hand an inspiring manicure. While it’s hard to judge the quality of a nail lacquer at a glance, the shade is often the thing that catches my fancy and is mainly the …
Garnier Light Gentle Clarifying Foam
Whenever I get pimples, I shift to other facial washes. I believe that if a product doesn’t work for me anymore, it might be because I’m already immune to the effects of that product and I have to shift to other products. That is why I constantly change the …
Suave Naturals (Hairdressing and Conditioner)
Since college days it has been my habit to go to school with Suave Hairdressing and Conditioner in my bag, just as the handkerchief I couldn’t leave the house without having one. Over the years, Suave keeps my hair manageable, but then I always welcome change. When Suave Naturals …

Wet n’Wild H20 proof liquid eyeliner

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream Moisturizer

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Beauche International for Perfect Skin

Suave Naturals Refreshing Ocean Breeze Body Wash
I have never really used Suave products in the past although obviously their advertising is great and would have you believe that they are every bit as good as the much more expensive and well known brands. I have always been a bit skeptical, however last week when I …
O.P.I. on Collins Avenue Nail Lacquer (NL-B76)
I love red-coloured nail polish, and it brings out the color and contrast even more when you have fair skin, so I tried out this shade and it’s a crème-based nail polish that looks really glossy and sheen when applied. The color is quite reddish with a tinge of …
Fusion Hair Extension Glue Remover

Pond’s Clarant B3 Face Cream

Maybelline Watershine Pure Lipstick
