Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
As I have mentioned in previous reviews for cosmetics, I have very irritating skin. It is extremely fair, and very prone to outbreaks and rashes from using harsh, user-unfriendly cosmetic products.
There have been very few foundations that I have found over the years that are suitable for my …

Loreal Elseve Conditioner
Normally, I prefer to use 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner products since it will save me time. And it’s more easy to use it as well. But when I found his L’oreal Elseve Hair Conditioner, I think I need to chance my mind about conditioner product.
Since the water …
Mac Studio Fix Foundation

ISO Daily Condition Conditioner
I am very wary of using conditioners too often because I know how their contact with my skin can clog pores and cause acne break outs. It would be one thing if I were to have someone washing my hair for me, but most of the time, I will …
Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Serum
This product is excellent. I’ve been using it for about 2 or so weeks now, and I think I really am experiencing some of the fine lines softening. First, it smells really good, like a lot of the other Garnier products. Second, it’s got an easy-to-use …
Crest 3D White Whitening Rinse Fresh Mint
I decided to try this rinse in an effort to whiten my teeth. The rinse is supposed to contain the same whitening ingredients as the strips, which was one of the reasons I decided to try it since I don’t like the idea of putting strips over my teeth. …

Emu Oil Shampoo by Longview Farms
I read a lot about the healing properties of Emu Oil on the internet, including for skin and scalp problems like psoraisis, and ordered Emu Oil “Advance Energising Body and Shine Shampoo” by Longview Farms.

Oral B Hummingbird Flosser

Blistex Silk & Shine
As an avid Chapstick user, I was skeptical about trying Blistex Silk & Shine. My husband had purchased it, figuring I would be willing to try something new, so I gave it a go.

What initially drew my eye to this in the weekly Avon booklet was the colors. …
Kiehl’s Acai Damage-Correcting Serum

Gillette Simply Venus Disposable Razors, 4 Pk

Zoya Remove Plus Nail Polish Remover

St. Ives Timeless Skin Facial Scrub
I just ran out of my St. Ives Invigorating Facial Scrub, so I went out and looked for a replacement tube. In my searching, I saw the different types of St. Ives’s Scrubs and being the usual curious person that I am, I wanted to try again something new. …

Mary Kay Oil Control Lotion 3

I’ve tried a few lip plumpers by Sally Hansen and I never really got goo results from most of them and I had tried the original lip inflation by Sally Hansen and I saw somewhat of a difference but not much and I thought that maybe because I saw …
Duwop Reverse Lipliner
I think of lipliners being no different than eyeliners: it’s designed to standout by outlining a facial part. Whereas this is a desirable effect around the eyes, it’s not the same case with the lips. I’ve watched other women (friends and foe) use lipliner with lipstick only …
Fusion Beauty Prime Results Tinted Moisturizer

Lancome Le Lipstique Lipcoloring Stick with Brush

Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Pure White
At the moment, I don’t feel good about wearing loud colors. I want a nice yet simple color to dress my nails. My mood veers toward the quiet side, I guess. I think I’ve already gotten tired of plums and mauves. This quiet sensibility reflected …
