White eye liner certainly makes a cool effect. I like how it lifts the eye area making it less fatigued plus the way it maximizes the brightening touch of a luminous concealer. It’s of course unnerving to outline the entire eyes with a white liner so I …

This product is supposed to remove the dead skin …

I sampled this recently at a department store. People seem to rave about Vera Wang perfumes like they’re the ultimate in glamour. I don’t know, I just don’t get it. Okay, first off I hate the heart shaped bottle of the Princess line, and this one in particular with …

I’ve had this color for many months now. I can’t actually remember when I picked up this nail color. Sometime in 2009, I think. It’s quite dark looking in the bottle so maybe I bought it to go with a Halloween costume or something. Anyway, the name Lincoln Center …

I’m still making my way around matte nail polishes, and I remember the first time I laid the sober paint on my tips, I wasn’t awed by it. It’s as lifeless as can be. I first ventured with OPI’s matte lacquers, which were fairly good then followed …

My sister received a present during the holidays. She is known to be an overcompensate make up buff like me. And a generous benefactor gave her a lovely Stila lip glaze gift set from Sephora. I deemed the set was just too much, an overload of Stila …

Some ultra-rich lipsticks give a damp look on the mouth. It’s difficult for me to create a slightly textured pout, ideally a matte finish that’s sheen-less with full opacity. I hate blotting because it alters the plumpness of the color. A matte lip is a stronger …

It seems these days to be virtually compulsory for cosmetics companies to plaster absurdly long names across their products’ bottles and jars. By the ludicrously inflated standards of some of these, Boots’ Tea Tree & Balm Mint shampoo is almost the epitome of conciseness and restraint! Of course, I would …
