BabyBliss Hair Straightener
I recently bought this flat iron at Marshalls for only $24 because I had read good reviews, and my old CHI flat iron just wasn’t getting hot enough anymore.
I was debating whether or not to buy another CHI, but decided to go with a cheaper …
ChapStick Lip Balm
I haven’t had a happy experience while using ChapStick lip balm. I believe it is the most popular brand of lip balm in the market today but I think I have fallen for its undeniably effective marketing strategy.
I regret to tell you that the product has failed to …
Kiss My Face Obsessively Organic Hand Cream in Grapefruit & Bergamot

Finesse 2 in 1 Shampoo
Finesse 2 in 1 shampoo is not one of my favorite shampoos. I enjoy the smell of it, but that’s about it. It is one of those shampoos that leaves my hair feeling oily all day. I have tried several different Finesse shampoos for different styles …
Bath and Body Works Merry Marshmallow Kiss Shower Gel
Bath and Body Works has done it again with their newest addition to their holiday line of shower gels. I have always been impressed with their shower gel scents, especially the holiday collection scents. Vanilla Bean Noel was always my favorite, however with the addition of their …
Ora Labs Essential Lip Naturals SPF15 Tea Tree Mint Lip Balm

Dove
My mother always warned me against Dove products because she had such sensitive skin and claimed Dove products irritated her skin. But then again that was a long time ago and since then they have improved their skincare line.
I received a sample bar of Dove soap for sensitive …
Biotherm - Biosource Foaming Cleanser
I have been using this range (Biosource) under the brand for about 3 years now and I’m really satisfied with their products. This range is for those who have dry to combination skin types. For myself, I have dry skin, so this one suits me just fine.
The products in …
Clinique All About Eyes (Eye Cream)
I am very close to admitting there’s a Clinique invasion sweeping my vanity table right now. I’m trying their moisturizers for the lack of a better option. All About Eyes is Clinique’s popular skincare product for the eyes; it was also all about that the last time …
Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo for Dry and Damaged Hair
Although I’m hardly ever motivated by advertising in my buying habits, unless of course, it is a negative influence, when I decide to boycott a producer with especially annoying ads, I bought Garnier Fructis shampoo primarily due to the convincing adverts. I also liked the fruity smell and the …
Caress Refreshing Body Spray
I love Walmart, North Point Blvd, Dundalk, MD. When I was going on vacation last summer, I went shopping for beauty products that were in travel sizes. With all the airport restrictions I did not want to chance having to toss any products that cost a whole lot, …
Paul & Joe Beaute Whitening Serum
In my quest to become fairer, I was introduced to Paul & Joe’s whitening serum. It was having a sale in our local departmental store so I thought why not. The salesgirl highly recommends it, saying it was one of their best sellers. It would originally cost me $49 for …
Mane —˜n Tail Shampoo
I have known Mane —˜n Tail Shampoo for so long but my first use of this shampoo was only last year. At first I was hesitant to have a try on this product for I am not comfortable seeing the horse in its label. Of course I don’t want …

Baby Lips By Maybelline
Having been a fan of Revlon’s lip butters I was pretty anxious to try this product. I actually saw online that this was a product that was very similar but actually a little better than the Revlon Lip Butters were. I tried to find this product at Wal-Mart was …
Nichido Liquid Eyeliner
I recently ran out of my favorite liquid eyeliner from Maybelline Cosmetics, so I decided to get another one from a different brand, Nichido. It is my first time to try an eyeliner from this brand but I have used some of their products before. And I must say, …
Gillette: Venus and Olay Razor Blades
I feel like every time Gillette makes a new razor for women they decide to add an extra blade. In this case it has the same 5 blades that the Embrace does, but with the added Olay soap.
The Venus and Olay razors are the newest to the Gillette …

Olay Regenerist Deep Hydrating Mousse Cleanser
Since the Regenerist Daily Regenerating Cleanser made my skin sting (only a little bit), I went and bought the Regenerist Deep Hydrating Mousse Cleanser. I paid almost $10 for it at my local grocery store. This cleanser also wasn’t locked up in a cabinet or plastic container. …
Olay Body Quench Mousse
I have been a fan of Olay facial products for years, but have never really gotten into their body line. One day I needed a new all over moisturiser to protect my skin from the harsh Canadian winters, and a friend suggested I try Olay Body Quench Mousse. I …
The Body Shop Aqua Lily Body Lotion
I got this in a set with the perfume, Body Spray and Shower Gel. All of which I will review in time.

Avon Anew Clinical Proven Stretch Mark Smoother
I’ve had so many talk about women and their stretch marks and for years I have said the same thing. There is no way you are going to get rid of your stretch marks. Not unless you get Laser Surgery and no one these days have that type of …
Avon Kids 2 in 1 Detangling Spray
This spray is great for sorting out Tugs in hair. No doubt since this is part of the Avon Kids range then it is more designed for Kids, but I use this now and again probably more for the scent it puts on my Hair, but perhaps it does …
Lush I Should Coco Soap
I tried this soap because it looked very interesting to me. This soap has shredded coconut in it and is topped by pink color, which I thought was pretty. I am usually one to try things that look nice aesthetically, so I bought this. It also looked like it …
Old Spice Red Zone High Endurance Body Wash
Old Spice used to be a favored product by men. Even many women used to find the unique, warm scent of Old Spice attractive. Old Spice Red Zone High Endurance Body Wash, however, may just be a wash out.
At a time when I was pinched on money and there …

TCA Home Peel is best for those who really want new baby-soft skin; it is the most effective peeling but also the most inconvenient as you’d have to wake 3 weeks for the whole process to end and to see the end results! If you want to do this …
Pond’s Cold Cream
I grew up knowing the Pond’s brand, but because there are a lot of options in the market, I somehow did not think of trying the Pond’s cold cream. I previously thought that new innovations might mean the best quality, but I guess I was wrong. I …
Pond’s Age Miracle Eye Cream
I started using eye cream to address the fine lines, dryness and dark circles around my eyes. Not one to spend a fortune on products, I started with Clinique All About Eyes which did not do anything for the concerns mentioned above. I also tried the ones …
Sally Hansen Age Correct Nail Treatments

White Rain Body Lotion Ultra Moisturizing

I love Avon Flavor Savers. This is one good product of Avon. I am using this product mostly when at home or sometimes I am applying this first on my lips before adding a matted lipstick for a well moisturized effect. It is very effective in keeping my …

The packaging is very eye-catching. It comes in a wide but flat bright yellow …

Deborah Hi-tech eye shadow trio Truly diva
From all the make up I really like almost the best the eye shadows, I like more only lips glosses but just because you can apply them whenever you want and you don’t even need a mirror. Eye shadows are very discrete even when they are dark and if …
Nivea Intensive Body Milk for Very Dry Skin

The scent was …

Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Bodyguard
Even though I’m a huge Urban Decay fan, I’m not a big fan of this tinted moisturizer. There are a lot of problems with this specific color as well as the overall line. I definitely think there are better, similar products on the market, most of them at a …
Aqua Collagen 35+, day and night cream by Eveline Cosmetics
When it comes to face creams I am not very picky, I just need something that does not make the skin of my face feel oily and greasy and, I need something that gets absorbed by the skin rather fast and I always hope not to spend too much money …
