For a very long time I used a normal hairspray from Wal-Mart, and then I switched to this one dollar hairspray from the dollar store to save a little money. I think that this was the worst hair decision that I ever made, it turned out to be such …

I have always used drugstore shampoos my entire life, so it was really nice when a friend of my mother’s bought my family two sets of Bath and Bodyworks shampoos and conditioners, along with a few lotions and some cool moisturizing socks. But one of my favorite things was …

My very favorite makeup store is Sephora, just because I love how you can try out everything before you buy it, so it is a lot harder for you to buy something that you are never going to use. I try to go at a time when there aren’t …

Gel liners have limited but very important uses. I have used a pencil liner for years, but once I discovered a gel liner like this there was no going back. I have been using my coastal scents Gel liner for about a month now on and off, and have …

Coastal scents is a website that I have been eyeing for a while now, because I have seen so many good reviews on their products, but they seemed to be pretty inexpensive for the quality they had. Something else I loved was the three sets on 88 color eye …

I have always wondered why it is that everyone else’s makeup always seems to stay in place but mine always would be running all over my face throughout the day, and the first thing I had to do was replace my foundation, but the next fixing I did that …

Texas lash mascara is only sold at sephora I think, or maybe it is Ulta, I can’t remember exactly which it was, but it was one of those stores. I really thought that this would be a great purchase, because it had the highest rating of all the other …

Being in air-conditioned office for most part of the day, I decided to use this body soap to prevent my skin from getting dry. It was not because I believed in the advertisement that annoyingly breaks the suspense of my favorite TV thriller. An office mate just …

I don’t like “wipe-ons”facial cleansers or those in cold cream form. I just feel that those kinds cannot take off dirt very well and it leaves your with full of oil and makeup. Juice Beauty is one of the cosmetic products which I enjoyed using because of its natural …

I have this habit of coloring my hair. I like a light brown shade to it like Jennifer Lopez or Jennifer Gardner. I have this hobby of changing hair color once a year. Ordinary shampoo can take the color easily leaving your hair visible and your roots noticeable. Mostly, …

Being constantly on the computer, staying up late and stressful nights, these can lead up to notorious effects in your eye area. Whenever I see a “brightening” eye cream, I feel the need to buy it. Just like when I am confronted with an ordinary facial moisturizer and a …

I am not fond of Maybelline cosmetics but one time I tried this when the only available foundation left was this one. Like what I’ve tried from Max Factor, this has minerals. I really thought that it would give me the same effect.
It was indeed less expensive than …

A poorly applied makeup can overshadow even the best facial features. This is what I’ve learned from my makeup artist. This is correct. No matter how prominent your cheek bones are if the right color of blush on is not used nor the proper procedure of doing it then …

Just a few days ago, the temperature is really killing me. Whenever I go out, it dehydrates my skin and when I am inside, the air conditioning system can also cause my skin to go dry. Summer is different these days that even if you will just stay in …

I have been always on the lookout for whitening products. Like the impulse of purchasing all brands of makeup, whenever I see a face lotion, face cream or any cosmetic products which offers whitening effects, I always purchase it. This is one of the products that I bought. The …

I had been using an old-fashioned kohl eye-lining pencil stick since I learned to put on makeup at 15. I had taken after my mother’s very sparse eyelashes and despaired every time I looked in the mirror. I thought I looked like an albino rat. The first time I …

I watched that episode of Oprah where Ellen and Portia were guests. Ellen bragged about Covergirl’s sales that it catapulted when she endorsed it. I saw Ellen’s ad before in an American Vogue magazine but I was not really into it. While shopping for this cosmetics brand, the only …

With today’s environmental condition, who’s not worried about the harsh effects of the environment in our skin? There is so much link to the causes of the environment and the harsh effects on your skin. Even a person who drinks a lot of supplements with rich of antioxidants still …

Using an eye cream is very important for me. Not only it adds protection to my eye contour but likewise it gives instant effect when your tired. There are only few of the most trusted brands on my list that I appreciate using. Most of the eye creams now …

For many years, I tried different deodorants. Without fail, they would flake up and show on my clothes or not work. When I worked in a gym, I used Degree for women but it sometimes stung when I applied it following shaving my armpits. Several years …

Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush is an interesting product. I do not normally wear blush. In the past when I did wear blush, I used the common type that comes with the brush to put it on with. Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush is something else entirely. It …

Cover Girl Outlast products tend to do what they say—they last. My new favorite eyeliner is Cover Girl Outlast Smoothers all day eyeliner. I have never been able to handle eyeliners that are similar to pencils. I always jam my eye when I use that type …

Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream plus Moisturizers is a beauty product I have been using almost since I began wearing makeup. Noxzema is the best product I have found for removing makeup. The formula may be slightly different than it was in the early 1990’s when I began …

Tresemme Thermal Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner are the newest shampoo/conditioner I have tried. I have been searching for a shampoo that will help my damaged hair for several years. Often, I used Pantene but my hair began adapting to it or something because it ceased working as …

Normally, I am not a fan of Wet and Wild cosmetics. These tend to be on the cheaper end of the cosmetics spectrum for a reason. I tried most of these cosmetics when I was a 12 year old beginning to learn how to wear makeup. …

Tresemme Tres Two: Extra Hold Hair Spray is my favorite type of hairspray. I do not curl my hair or use hairspray often but when I do I use this item. I buy the 4.2 oz bottles. Tresemme Tres Two: Extra Hold Hair Spray is …

Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion and Peel System is a product I recently purchased in an attempt to treat my rare skin condition. One of the less invasive ways to teat growths from Multiple Hamaratoma Syndrome that appear on the face is by dermabrasion. The kits are often expensive. …

Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Anti-Wrinkle Serum is a product I recently purchased for about $19.00. It comes in 1 fl oz so the bottle is very tiny but it does not require much for one use. I purchased Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Anti-Wrinkle Serum for …

I was somewhat reluctant to purchase this item. I have tried various eye makeup removers in the past and have been at least a little disappointed each time. I wear very heavy eye makeup and have been unable to find something to remove all of it. …

I saw a commercial for the new L’Oreal True Match Roller: Perfecting Roll on Makeup on television and had to try it. The makeup is nice because you can find a shade that makes your skin tone fairly close. The cost was about $12.00. L’Oreal …

Last week, I was in the supermarket looking for a new set of disposable razors because I was irritated that the lubricating strips keep falling out of the replacement cartridges for my Gillette Blue II razor. Seeing no cheap Gillette alternatives, I saw a few pieces of Schick Exacta …

Before I start my review, I would just like to clarify that this Queen Helene Mint Julepe product is different from the other one that I’ve already reviewed about; that is the Mint Julepe SCRUB.
Today, I will be reviewing about Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. Let’s face it, …

I was excited when this came out, because I always thought that the infallible lipsticks were too matte and needed more shine and shimmer. I knew that making a glossy lip color that wouldn’t smudge off would be difficult. But L’Oreal finally put this one out, and I couldn’t …

This is a fun eye pencil to play with. This number is a dark teal with silver glitter in it. I’m sure you can imagine how dramatic that can be. When I’m feeling like being dark and Gothic I like to put this on with just a little …

Physician’s Formula is a wonderful cosmetic brand so I am not surprised by what I found when testing their Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow and Liner. Physician’s Formula Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow and Liner are available in shades that compliment brown, green, blue, and hazel eyes. There are …

I always have a hard time managing my hair specially after bath. The more i conditioned it the more it becomes dry and frizzy. I tried this Hask Placenta Hair Repair spray. I noticed it gives me a different feeling of my hair when it dries and i spray …

I went on a shopping spree with my daughter one time and I came across my favorite cosmetic brand. I used to patronize this brand prior to settling with MAC and Clinique. This however, claims to be even better than its prior release thus impulsing me to purchase and …

I have always been envious of my sister’s complexion since childhood. She had inherited my great-grandmother’s fair and pearly-white skin. Meanwhile, I got my dad’s dark skin tone. Although I would not say its really dark but as compared to my sister’s, my skin tone is darker. Our …

I remember the incident when I got hold of this mascara. This is one of those expensive mascaras I’ve tried. The only Givenchy product I’ve tried was their perfume Play Intense.
It happened after years of coaxing and cajoling, my husband finally agreed for us to go on a …

I bought a few of Barry M’s products, because they were such an interesting looking company, and they had a lot of glitter products on the shelves. I had a bad experience with their lip paint, but in the same order I purchased some interesting other products, and one …

Barry M is a rather strange makeup site from the UK that I discovered not too long ago. Their site is very professional, but their makeup is very cheap looking, and is the same price as a drugstore product here in the United states, if not a little more. …

I tried this mascara when my favorite brand run out of stock. This was one of those episodes that you resort to something you don’t often use. Because it was highly recommended by my friends, I once tried a brand from Wet and Wild mascara, made in the US …

Expensive and branded items do not necessarily equate to better quality. I learned this lesson two weeks ago when I bought a mascara made by a well-known cosmetics brand. I have been looking for mascara that would go well with my thick eyelashes ever since I was old enough …

It is said that life for a woman begins at 30, whoever said this had no idea what it is like to be a woman. Yes indeed a woman becomes more mature, on average, at the age of thirty but this is quite misleading as I found out to …

I love this revolutionary face powder product from Maybelline because it greatly refines my facial skin and perfectly hides some blemishes and pores. This ultra-fine powder has a natural matte finish and has a wonderful air-soft feeling and shimmery texture in my skin. It easily blends in my skin …

So I have seen many informercials, and certain cosmetic stores highly recommend this product, so I thought if it’s this good I will give it a try. Never again will I buy this product! I spent 100 dollars on the starter kit, and when I tried it after talking …

Bath and Body Body Butter is the number one lotion for me. It’s quite hard to buy it here in our country, as there is really no store that sells bath and body products, but it is worth looking for, or asking for whenever a relative goes abroad.
I love …

I bought this compact of mineral powder so that I could have it on the go. I figured that since it was pressed into a compact it would be better to travel with than my loose powder foundations.
The compact does make it a lot more portable. The loose powder …

Early this year, after I had a major dry spell on my skin on the last quarter of 2009, I decided that what my skin needed the most was not just moisture but deep hydration. I searched through the internet, read forums and discussions to find the right moisture-giving …

Removing facial hair is not a subject many of us wish to actually speak of, even though many of us have to deal with this issue in some respect. I am lucky enough not to be hairy enough to require highly expensive, salon procedures; however, I have some occasional …
