Almay’s Hydracolor lipstick
Almay is one of my favorite cosmetic brands out there. I love their simple packaging and that they’re hypoallergenic. One of my favorite products of theirs is their Hydracolor lipstick. It comes in a slender, lip gloss size tube that costs
about $9. It’s available in 32 shades and you …
Palmer’s Skin Success
Palmer’s Skin Success has to be the best facial cream I’ve ever used. As a man, it was very awkward to care so much about my daily facial regime. I had terrible acne and it affected my self-esteem and my confidence. I think I’ve probably used everything on my …
ELF Nail Polish in Fire Coral
I was somewhat skeptical of this brand at first, because, really, how good could a one dollar item be? Obviously, I went straight for the nail polish section as soon as I got on the site, and picked out the brightest shade I saw. It happened to be Fire …
Dove gofresh2 deodorant and body mist combo
I love Dove products, and I love the fact that they donate a portion from all beauty products sold to the Dove Girls Esteem Fund, that teaches teenage girls that real beauty comes from within. I was delighted to receive the Dove gofresh2 deodorant and body mist combo pack …
Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara
I was confident this will make it to my top list of mascaras. I bought a makeup set from estee lauder and it was more complete than I expected. I was procrastinating to pick this up from the set because I didn’t want to put down my …
TISSERAND Deodorant
TISSERAND - Deodorant has a calming lavender and lemon scent to appeal to the senses. It smoothes the skin like a moisturizer, so the application feels better than the over-the-counter deodorant. My mood seemed to improve within a few minutes after putting this on. I was impressed initially.
The …
Nair Naturally Smooth Warm Wax
I have been using Nair Naturally Smooth Warm Wax for years, and I have to say it is a wonderful product for so many reasons. First and foremost, however, it is tops because it is completely washable with warm water. I have even been able to remove …
Make Up For Ever: HD Invisible Cover Foundation
I had been using Bare Minerals for the last 2 years and overall was satisfied with the product except, at times I felt like I had to reapply it throughout the day and if I put too much on my face would itch. I decided to switch back …
Ion Smooth Solutions Ion Keratin Smoothing Treatment
I decided to try the Ion Smoothing Solutions Keratin Treatment after my last brazilian blowout. I have mixed race, very curly hair which had been grown out naturally after years of using relaxers. My natural hair texture is curly and unmanageable after 2 days in its natural …
Livon silky Potion
I was having severe hair fall from past several months. My hairs are very dry and so it was difficult combing them after washing. They get tangled and are frizzy and so they break easily. I was very upset and searching for the product which can reduce my hair …
Bobbi Brown Waterproof gel eyeliner
I like using eyeliner to make my eyes deeper and beautiful, but to my surprise, one day while browsing the eyeliners in a beauty shop I found this gel eyeliner. I had never heard as something like a gel eyeliner, so I decided to give it a try, as …
San San Concealer
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 …
Vitacost Emu Oil
I have severely dry inflamed skin due to my eczema. I don’t use eczema creams or medicines to treat my eczema because I find they are a waste of money since they do not work well for me. Instead, I find the Vitacost Emu Oil an effective remedy for …
Wen Ste of 3 Conditioners
I thought these would be really weird to use and that they wouldn’t get my hair clean as much as regular shampoos because these aren’t regular shampoos, they’re conditioning cleansers. They smell really great but not something that I’ve used before but I gave them a try.
I’m really …
Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Perfect Lipstick in Love Bite
I never thought I could find a great lipstick in Victoria’s Secret. I mean, like their underwear and sleepwear and that is always the reason why I go to their store, because they always have a sale going on. I never really noticed their cosmetics until this one time. …
L’Oreal White Perfect Pearl Liquid Foundation
I noticed that L’Oreal has different brands for Southeast Asia than the rest of its international markets. In this area, mostly, cosmetic company utilizes whitening and incorporates it in the trend of their makeups, night creams and day creams. Since in the tropics you have people who have problems …
Biore Skin Balancing Moisturizer
THE PRICE:
This stuff comes in a tiny, 1.7 Fl. Oz. bottle. I recall paying $6 for this, partly due to desperation because I could not find another oil-free moisturizer where I lived, and I was using Proactiv at the time (which dries my skin out pretty badly).
There were also …
Maybelline Fruity Jelly Lip Gloss
I’m a lip balm girl but once in while I give lip gloss a try. I was a bit scare of the shine factor of a lip gloss but hey a bit of shine in your life won’t really hurt, I guess.
The Maybelline Fruity Jelly Lip Gloss was …
Cacharel Anais Anais Perfume
A few years ago, I was given the Cacharel Anais Anais perfume as a Christmas gift from my Aunty. I had never tried this particular perfume before, but I found that after trying it out, I loved the scent so much that since then, I’ve continued to …
Dove Silk Glow Beauty Body Lotion
I don’t usually find myself too inclined to use body lotions, unless my skin begins to give me trouble enough to make me decide that a direct action is in order. Lotions require time and effort, and I prefer to use a cream topically, on knees and elbows or …
L’oreal Paris Elseve Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Serum 100 ml
The primary problem of my hair is its being rebellious and frizzy. It’s very hard to manage. I’ve tried several products to soften it’s texture, but nothing really satisfied me. I even got to the point that I almost lost hope. That nothing can make it look better, but …
OPI Privacy Please
I have been on a tear for awhile trying to find the pinks that the models in the bridal magazines use on their nails. The pinks I were picking up were either too loud or too clear. I picked up this bottle of ‘Privacy Please’ hoping that with one …
Cover Girl Simply Powder Foundation
I have been using Cover Girl Simply Powder Foundation for a while now. I really like it. More so than liquid foundation. Liquid foundation is always gooey and if you perspire you can tell you have it on.
Cover …
Yves Rocher Arnica Hand oil
I am a big fan of toiletries, perfumes and anything that I can pamper myself with basically! One of my favourite pleasures in life is giving my hard worked hands a much needed manicure and this is where this item is a godsend.
The hand oil is made by the …
Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Dry Oil
At late parts of the year when the air gets pretty stale and my skin looks dull and dry, I often use heavy moisturizers for my body. I discovered body oils a long time ago and started with virgin coconut oil which was fairly good but the thick …
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara
I do love long false eyelashes, but I do not love lash extensions as my cousin’s natural eyelashes were already falling out, thanks to the lash extensions she just had! I would never have eyelash extensions, and I had no choice but to stick and glue false eyelash on …
Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Dry to Moisturized Shampoo & Conditioner
Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Dry to Moisturized Shampoo & Conditioner
Pantene says that curly hair should be custom treated because of it’s unique structure. This is definitely true, as products that worked great for my friend’s super straight hair did quite the opposite for me. They say it’s because …
Sainsbury’s Pure Calm Creme Bath
A little while ago I tried out the shower creme in Sainsbury’s “Pure Calm” range, and apart from one or two niggles (for example, relating to a rather badly designed cap) I was quite happy with it. That being so, I was more than willing to try out the …
Palmolive Shower Cream
This Palmolive Shower Cream is a good product. I did not know that Palmolive Shower Cream has extra oil inside to make the skin more soft and give more moisture to our skin.
I bought Palmolive Milk and Honey Cream on the store. Actually I was looking for the nice …
Bare Minerals Makeup Prime Time
I have been using Bare Escentuels makeup for several years. I love the product, especially the base makeup. It is a brush-on light powder which kicks the knickers off the other liquid makeup. There are copies, but I stick to the original as I love it …
CoverGirl Aqua CG Smoothers
My skin tends to get extremely dry when I wear a lot of makeup or use harsh face washes. That’s why I probably spend the most money on my moisturizer. I’ve been told by makeup artists that the most important step before applying any makeup is to moisturize correctly. …
Superdrug Pocket Pack Tissues
Travel tissues are something that I consider almost an essential when I am out and about, especially in the spring (since I suffer from hay fever) but to some extent during the rest of the year as well. I make a point of trying out as many different brands …
Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB cream
Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB cream is a very good buy. When looking for cosmetics, I generally tend to sway towards hypoallergenic ones since I have oily and acne prone skin. And more often than not, hypoallergenic or non-comedogenic (products which don’t clog pores) are quite expensive. This BB …
HerStyler High Temp Hair Straightener
I have owned a few different hair straighteners over the years and I have noticed that the more you pay for the iron, the better it is. The first one I bought was $30, the second one I bought was $35, the third one was $45, and the last …
White Rain Daily Clarifying Shampoo
It is because of my sensitive scalp that I always choose a shampoo which can clear the scalp and prevents dandruff. Finding the perfect hair shampoo is often challenging. I always have a problem with flakes and I have been in constant search for a good hair shampoo. …
Maybelline Pure Make-up Foundation
I’m always looing for a foundation that will provide the best “translucent” coverage. I ound my shade of Maybelline’s Pure Make-up. It’s oil-free (which I need for my skin), and comes ina small squeezable tube. It’s a good size tube for traveling, with a top …
Too Faced Lash Injection Volume Mascara
This is definitely one of my favorite mascaras. I bought this mascara from Too Faced after I tried a few other of their products and loved them. Some of my favorite mascaras are the ones that have a big brush, I always seem to get the best results …
Boots Amazon Forest Bath Cream in Brazil Nut & Vanilla
A really nice creamy sweet tropical bath soak I like to use once in a great while is Boots Amazon Forest Bath Cream in Brazil Nut & Vanilla. It smells heavenly tropical and it helps make my bath like a mini spa vacation. I love all the nourishing natural …
Victoria’s Secret Blackberry and Tonka Bean Hydrating Lotion
Hands down, this is the best product that Victoria’s Secret has come out with. Usually, I don’t care very much for their body lotions because of their very strong, flowery smell. However, the all-natural line that Victoria’s Secret came out with last spring exceeded all my expectations.
It is …
Avon Bubble Bath
Avon Bubble Bath comes in four sizes: the 1.7 oz mini-bottle (around $1), 8 oz ($3), 16 oz ($7) and the large 24 oz bottle ($8). The three larger sizes can be found on sale for almost half the price. The bottles are plastic, transparent, allowing you to see …
Burt’s Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Hand Creme
Last year I bought Burt’s Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Hand Creme for around 400 pesos online, because I realized that my hands were getting dry from all the constant washing and use of detergents. While I can easily buy some ordinary lotion to smoothen and moisturize my hands again, I …
Celeteque Oil Control Toner
For awhile I have become a bit desperate looking for an oil control toner which would suit my skin type, because I had a very oily skin that would be shiny even when I just washed my face after 3 hours. Maybe it was because of the food I …
Redken Smooth Down Heat Glide Smoother
This is another wonderful product that I had to add to my heat styling routine. It was a little pricier than some of my usual styling products, but I decided to try it anyway. I was absolutely ecstatic with the results. I could not believe how smooth my hair …
Aesop Rose Hair and Scalp Moisturizing Masque
I have had natural or chemically free African American hair for slightly over a year now. The main reason why I prefer my hair in its natural state as opposed to being relaxed is because it is so much easier to style and maintain. In my opinion, …
Suave Professionals Captivating Curls Whipped Cream Mousse
I have been considering purchasing this product for a while, but I finally decided to buy it after I found a coupon in my newspaper for a discount off of three Suave products. Most of the Suave Professionals products that I have tried before have been great so …
Clean & Clear Advantage Popped Pimple Relief Drying Paste
I must admit that I have a terrible habit of popping my pimples. I get so impatient whenever I get a big pimple that I just want to go away, so rather than treating it with acne medication and waiting for it to go away, I tend to just …
Dr. Kauffman’s Sulfur Soap
I was suffering from a minor skin problem wherein there were some red, small, and itchy spots at my legs. I have tried everything to diminish it but nothing really seemed to work. I applied creams and powders but no use. I have a classmate who was also suffering …

Lipstick:Rimmel’s Temptation Stars Lipstick
