Avon White Lily Bubble Bath
I wished that I had a bath more often. I have loads of Bubble Baths in the house and love to lie and soak in a bath, but often since things are busy then a Shower is the easier and quicker option. Can’t beat lying in a hot foamy …
Mandom Gatsby Nose Pore Clear Pack (10 Strips)
The Japanese writing on the package of the Mandom Gatsby Nose Pore Clear Pack may scare some potential customers away from the cosmetic product, but there’s English text on the package too and it’s sold in certain drugstores and online shopping websites in and around the United States, not …
RuLinea-FX Topical Hand Cream
I’ve been using this product for almost 2 months and have not noticed any permanent effects on my hands. After applying it, yes it does seem softer, but the sun spots have not diminished. It does feel greasy at times especially when I start to sweat. I do the …
Skin Firming Lotion by Nivea, with 2X Q10
This product is a new and improved version of the original Nivea Skin Firming Moisturizer. I had tried the original version in the past, and I thought it was pretty good, so when I saw the improved formula, I decided to give it a try. The new version …
Gift of Color Mini Blockbuster
This makeup set comes in a pretty red and white box. The base color of the box is white and it has red designs which are very pretty. The mirror inside the case, on the lid isn’t that big as I would like but it’s a pretty decent size …
FreeTress Equal Synthetic Lace Front Wig in Halle
I love the versatility that wearing wigs, weaves, and extensions provide. Recently, I have begun a love affair with synthetic front lace wigs which offer the naturalness of a human one at a much more affordable price. About one week while I browsing through listings on Ebay, …
Covergirl Outlast Smoothwear All-day Eyeliner in Sage
I had hoped this would be a whimsical green shade, something different for an eye liner and I bought it practically to add to my bunch of other brown and black eye liners. I used to tight-line my water line with a black eye liner, but I realized …
Bourjois Pump Up The Volume mascara
For me, it’s just a real strange mascara that did not worked. At the first look, it seemed to have a great consistency, very creamy and smooth formula. But when I applied it, I realized it was all the opposite of what I thought first. This mascara was very …
Max Factor Natural Minerals Foundation
Hurray for soft make-up brushes and hats off to Max Factor for providing a really beautifully soft sable-type application brush with their Natural Minerals Foundation rang! The downfall of so many mineral powder products, in my experience, is the inclusion of brushes that are horribly harsh on the face. …
Maybelline Shine Sensational Lip Gloss
The Maybelline Shine Sensational lip gloss (in the flavor Peach Sorbet) gets a rating of a 7 out of 10 for me. It is pretty average as far as drug store lip gloss goes. It wins in terms of price and flavor/shade variety, but does not quite live up …
Hollywood Beauty Olive Oil
Because the scalps of African American women tend to be dry, most prefer to oil their hair using hair greases. However, I do not like the way that hair grease makes my hair look and feel. Grease gives my hair a limp and oily appearance, and it …
Maxi-Peel Neck & Body Exfoliating Lotion
Lotions are the cheapest beauty tool. I always feel relaxed and refreshed when I put on a lotion after a quick shower. I found this Maxi-Peel Neck & Body Exfoliating Lotion in the grocery while shopping for a sunblock. I have really sensitive skin to the sun, a few …
Dermablend Quick Fix Concealer
I recently purchased the Dermablend Quick Fix Concealer. I am a pretty big fan of stick concealers because I think they are the easiest to apply especially compared to liquids (which can get messy) and powders (which can look cakey). I have really been loving the Revlon PhotoReady stick …
Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer
I recently purchased the Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer from Sephora for about thirty dollars. There are two different sizes of this concealer and I purchased the smaller 0.2 ounce variety just so that I could see if I really liked this product prior to committing to a bigger size. …
Lancome Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss in Miracle
This Juicy Tube shade called Miracle is one of Lancome’s most popular shades, I assume, because it has been around for several years now. I got it three or four years ago in a holiday set that included eight mini Juicy Tubes for $36 or $37. Apparently it is …
Freetress Creta Girl Wig
I purchased the Creta Girl Wig by Freetress after seeing so many ladies from a hair forum rave about it. These ladies rocked the style of this wig so hard, I just had to get my hands on the wig! It’s a super curly, big, and bouncy wig, soft …
Top Brass ZP-11 Anti-Dandruff Hairgroom
I have had problems with dandruff on my scalp for years, and have always found it hard to find a good product that will keep it under control. While some of them might work for a short period of time, they usually are very ineffective after a while. The …
Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer
I have been using Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer (by Rimmel London) since I turned 12 in, duh, London, which is where I grew up. Rimmel didn’t make it to the U.S. until the mid 1990’s, I think. I was thrilled. I had been missing Rimmel products …
L’Oreal Revitalift Eye Cream
I bought the L’Oreal Revitalift Eye Cream at the same time I bought the L’Oreal Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Night Lotion. I used a coupon I had got from doing on-line surveys to save $10 off the eye cream at my local Walmart. I ended up paying $12CDN and …
Glysolid Glycerine Creme
Glysolid Glycerine Creme is an excellent emollient for the winter season. I discovered this when I was in Saudi Arabia working as a night duty nurse. Yes, guys, there is winter in some parts of that country. Anyway, I didn’t use anything heavy on my skin because I was …
Rimmel Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara
At around £7.00 a pop, Rimmel Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara is in the medium priced category for its product. In my opinion, its great value for money!
So, perhaps it was the gorgeous packaging that first attracted me to this particular mascara. But the fact that the long, curvy tube …
Kiss My Face Peaches & Crème Ultra Moisturizer
I have found my new favorite face wash. Even though I have found a few good face washes already, I like trying new ones and keep experimenting with what works on my face and what does not. However, since I have started using more natural and environmentally friendly products, …
Milcu Underarm and Foot Deodorant Powder
My best friend swears by this Milcu Underarm and Foot Deodorant Powder. She says that she does not like the sticky feeling of an anti-perspirant or deodorant. I was curious and so I tried it. I actually love it more for my feet than my underarm. I usually put …
GHD IV Mini Styler Ceramic Hair Straightener
I miss using hair straighteners to tame the stubborn frizz and all the number of things you can do with it for styling. The length of my hair falls flat and I worry of my face looking a little plump, and though it’s sounding completely counter to my …
Lux International Soap
Lux international soap is also very good and very gentle on the skin. My sister uses it. So I just tried it once and I felt my skin lovely. After using this soap the skin not only feels soft and healthier but also gives a nice …
Cream Silk Dandruff-free conditioner
I just had my hair rebonded last February and since my hairstylist told me to maintain a treatment for my hair I choose creamsilk dandruff-free conditioner. Creamsilk is one of the best conditioner that I have ever used. At first I thought this is just the same with the …
Bench Fix Molding Clay
I have been managing a good hairstyle ever since, I used to use water-based gel/wax to fix my hair to the hairstyle I prefer. As time went by, I got tired of the texture of my hairstyle which was a “wet-look” hairstyle. It came to my mind that it …

and brighter complexion. The masque comes in …

This face powder covers all blemishes and helps spot reduce oily skin. I have used for the past eight years and would personally recommend it to anyone. The face powder is great to use, especially in the summer when a person’s skin is more likely …
Tigi Bed Head Treat Me Right Peppermint Hair Mask
I bought this Tigi Bed Head Treat Me Right Peppermint Hair Mask as suggested by my hair stylist. She permed my hair at that time and mentioned that it would be good for me to do some hair treatment once a week at home. It’s quite a …
St. Ives Apricot Scrub, pimple outbreaks solution
One of the products that I can’t live without is St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I’ve been introduced with this miracle product about five or six years ago when I was struggling with pimple outbreaks. Originally I had soft and clear skin until when I turned fifteen, pimples started appearing …
Korres Ruscus and Chestnut Eye Cream
There are only few eye creams sold in the malls where I am at. The main brands are L’Oreal and a few locally-produced ones. I was divided with L’Oreal because it lightened by dark circles however it does not have anti-aging properties. The product was also released under a …
Nivea Pure and natural body lotion
Being a person with very dry skin makes you the best friend of body lotion. If I am left in a deserted island and with given the choice to take only one beauty or skin care product with me, I will definitely choose body lotion. …
Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss
The first time I tried the Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss was this past Christmas when one of my relatives gave me a few different colours in this range as a gift. This was a perfect gift for me as I rarely leave the house without lip …
Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream
Age is catching up. Although I’m only 33 and being petite helps me looking younger than my actual age, if you look closer, I have developed fine lines already especially on eyes and lip area. I have been conscious about my skin since my younger days and have been …

Lush Fresh Farmacy Facial Cleanser
I snagged a small sample of this bar from lush. I obtained two cleansers, actually; the other one was coalface. It (coalface) was this gritty out-of-this-world bar, which I picked up to use first as an exfoliating cleanser. Now I didn’t know what to think about …
Bumble and Bumble grooming cream
Bumble and Bumble has many hair care products. I like to use their grooming creme. It is like a lotion for your hair with a little bit of hold. It leaves your hair soft but has enough hold to make your hair look good.
I got a long layer razor …
Myra E Hand and Body Lotion
I’ve used many brands of lotions as I grew up. From the popular brands to the nameless and never heard brand of lotions. Some were sticky and really uncomfortable to the skin especially when the climate is humid.
But now, I am very particular when it comes to lotions. …
The Body Shop Blush Trio Set in Warm Sunset
I have never used any bronzers in my whole life, so when my cousin gave me a bronzer from the Body Shop, I was kind of hesitant to use it. I have Asian NC35 shade skin, and I feel that I am too yellow to use a bronzer. However …
Makeup For Ever HD Microfinish Powder
In rank of importance, I say it’s the finishing powder that should be positioned the least. So when I first read about Makeup For Ever’s microfinishing powder, I thought it was ridiculously priced. I never wished for it. But I got it on a beauty swap …
Cover Girl Outlast Lip Stain
This lip color by Cover Girl is different than most lip colors. It is not really a lipstick, nor is it a lip gloss. It is a lip stain that, when applied to lips, gives them a “stain” of color. The product resembles a marker rather …
Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10
If I had to describe Clean & clear Persa-Gel 10 in one word it would be ‘Amazing’. I always forget how great this product is until I start to stray away from it. My skin starts to break out when I do not use this. It seems like nothing …
Veet Hair Removal Cream with Silk&Fresh Technology for Normal Skin
I am sure that every woman hates the epilation process.It is always hard to find the best method to remove unwanted hair because each of them has some advantages but also disadvantages.I have always preferred the classic epilator because it removes efficiently the hairs although I have to admit that …

Achieving a perfect skin is not that easy. Even though you are using the most expensive products and having several treatments, there are times that single pimple just pops up that cause blemish. I have this dilemma so I have to use concealer to temporarily hide those blemishes. My …
Natures Gate Shampoo and Conditioner
My husband accidently dropped a bit of his own shampoo on a bar of soap and somehow the chemical reaction between the two created a weak form of amonia. Being extremely concerned about it, I went up to my local health food store and purchased Natures Gate …
