Cilinique Eye Concealer
I’ve been using Clinique products for sometimes now. And honestly, I never have complain about the product that I used from Clinique. I have no allergic reaction when using their products. That’s the important reason why I still continue to use some Clinique products.
One of the product that I …
Air Stocking Perfect Fit leg makeup spray in Nude

Extralasting Liquid Foundation SPF 15 from Avon

Olay complete moisture lotion

This summer I bought …
Arm & Hammer Ultra Max Antiperspirant Deodorant
I recently tried Arm & Hammer Ultra Max Anitperspirant Deodorant. I can tell you honestly that I could not be more disappointed! Basically it just does not work. I am not a person that has a problem being overly sweaty or smelly, in fact quite the opposite, so for …
Barry M duo pencil sharpener with lid
This is just about the same as any other pencil sharpener, but it is pink, and matches a set of brushes I bought from Barry M. I do like a few of the features it comes with, and they make it worth the few extra dollars this sharpener costs. …
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 30

DiorBlush Edition Dentelle 839 Vintage Pink

Shu Uemura 5F natural eye brush
The Shu Uemura 5F natural eye brush is my absolute favorite eyeliner brush! I can’t say enough good things about it, and although I own several high-end lining brushes, the 5F is the only one I use.
The 5F natural brush is made of soft yet firm, top-quality sable bristles–not …

Rosal LipBalm colour & shine

Technically, this is called Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer lip gloss, but I tried to simplify it for all you ladies out there! Just remember the name Glossimer. I bought this lip gloss as part of a limited-edition set that Chanel put out for the holidays. It’s called the Glossimer …
Marc Daniels (MD), 60 Second Success Protein Treatment
When I saw this product on the shelf in the mall, I didn’t hesitate a moment to buy it. In fact, 150 ml/5.2 fl.oz. for $5 (on sale) seemed rather appropriate price. The bright pink package was so attracting, I just couldn’t resist. My purchase is called 60 Second …

BFTE Mineral Veil
A mineral veil seems to be one of the products that seems to have no apparent sue until you actually start using it the right way. I had read about the miss America pageants and how they kept their makeup from melting off during the shows was that they …
Babyliss Beliss Ceramic Hot Air Styler 2715U
Since I slipped back to straight hair, I found myself revisiting the old straightening implements I stowed away in a box. I remember very well I once owned this weird straightening plate —“ but not quite. I just wanted to see how that tool would work on …
Redken Ringlet 07 Curl Perfector

Boscia MakeUp-BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil
This Boscia MakeUp-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil is one of the neatest skin care products that I’ve used in a long time. The title is a little catchy, but that’s not what makes this thing so neat. There’s no gimmicky packaging, even though its nicely packaged, and it relies soley …
Conair Hair Straightener
