Tarte Beauty in a Box: Bronze Smoky Eye

Avon White Chocolate Latte Bubble Bath
This is 1 of my all time favourite Bubble Bath scents from Avon, or perhaps from anywhere. Unfortunately this is usually found in the Sale books thesedays which makes me think it won’t be getting sold for much longer. I have only seen this for sale in the 500ml …
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo
To be quite honest, it is pretty rare that I purchase an expensive bottle of shampoo. Though I love to splurge on things like deep conditioners and other hair treatments, I just do not really think that spending a ton of money on shampoo is worth it. Don’t all …
Technic Nail Polish in Cactus Flower

Kanebo Freshel White C Cleansing Cream
This cleansing cream does have the same purpose as Pond’s Cold Cream, but obviously this is more expensive as it’s a Kanebo brand, and my mom gave it to me as sa gift while she was abroad and I really liked it. This product is a big jar of …
Shiseido UVWhite Whitening Eye Serum
Having a natural fair complexion makes it easier for others to take notice of my dark eye bags almost instantly. I’ve had this problem ever since I was in junior high and it just stuck with me all throughout my adult life. It became quite annoying especially now that …
Pur Minerals See No More Pore Minimizer
I am always, and I do mean always, looking for products that will minimize the appearance of my pores. It’s amazing to me that I don’t have issues with breakouts more often because my pores are so large and I can’t see how they don’t get clogged all the …

Maybelline expertwear Eye Shadow Duo, Indian Summer & Browntones
Product: Maybelline expertwear Eye Shadow Duo
Color: Indian Summer, Browntones

Mary Kay Sugarplum Eye Color
Mary Kay signature eye color in Sugarplum went on very, very light at first. It took me a few strokes to actually see much color on my lids, but it blended really well. I think that’s the point…it goes on light so that you can adjust the shade as …

Having run out of my own conditioner recently, I decided to help myself to my sister’s brand, Gliss Kur Shimmer Brown Balsam Conditioner.

Victoria’s Secret Voluptuous Volume Mascara

Pink Armor Nail Gel
The Pink Armor Nail Gel is the perfect solution to strengthen brittle nails. I’ve always had weak, brittle nails that break for nothing and layers would chip off. I used to be so envious of the ladies that could grow out their own nails.
I used to resort to artificial nails …
