I hadn’t used St. Ives beauty products for a long time, until their St. Ives Elements brand caught my eye. I was looking for a new facial exfoliator, as my skin was getting dry and flaky. The Cosmetician at my local Lawton’s Drug Star said that St. Ives was …

My facial skin had gotten really dry and I needed a stronger moisturiser. My Cosmetician suggested I tried one from La Roche Posay’s line of skin care. I had never heard of this company before but the Cosmetician said they were a facial line imported from France where they …

I had seen all the hype surrounding the new Balea skin care line and when the Balea 3 in 1 cleansing cloths came on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for just $6.99CDN I just had to buy some. Balea is quickly becoming a household name for skin care in …

I bought the Burt’s Bees Natural Acne Solutions Purifying Gel Cleanser from my local Target, because a friend recommended it to me and told me how much of a great product it is. I’ve known her since high school, and she’s been suffering from major acne from her teenage …

Aging is quite becoming an issue for me. I was getting worried that I was showing more than 1 sign of aging. The most noticeable sign for me was this wrinkles that suddenly appeared one day. Maybe I am really getting old. I talked about this to my cousin …

OPI nail polish in That’s Berry Daring is one of the nail polish offerings in OPI’s Brights collection. My daughter actually picked this nail polish up when she attended a cosmetics and nail products competition/event/trade show during the summer of 2009. One of the nice things about …

I bought my Corn Silk Translucent loose face powder several years ago at a local discount store. I find that, with Corn Silk Tranlucent loose face powder, a little goes a long way so I can honestly say that I still have a good quantity of this product …

“Have You Seen My Limo?” is a nail polish color from the OPI Holiday in Hollywood Collection. I think that OPI describes this color as an elegant, deep aubergine color. Personally, I think it is a smoky deep violet color that has definite gray or brown undertones. …

Why am I doing a review of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly and categorizing it as a cosmetics review? The answer is simple; Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is an absolutely invaluable cosmetics product that every woman should have in her cosmetics collection. Actually, though I have identified this review as …

How much do I LOVE Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer? Tons!! Since I’m on to re-purchasing Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer for the 5th time, this seems the perfect opportunity to share my first-hand views on this awesome cosmetic product. I first tried this primer over 5 …

I like this product for the fact that it really whitened my skin. I am fair to begin with but it was very noticeable after only about a few weeks of using his that my skin was even lighter than it was before. It is not really …

I’m generally not a lotion person whether it be body or hands, but while I was working as a beauty advisor at a Walgreens in Houston I found that my hands were getting cracked and chapped. I think part of it had to do with all the paper and …

Before I went to see a doctor about my acne, I tried all kinds of drugstore products in order to save money while treating my acne. I would ask my friends what products they used and go out to the store to buy the same product for myself. One …

The Maybelline XXL volume length microfiber mascara has to be one of the WORST mascaras out there. There are so many magazines raving about this product, and so many women that recommend it, and I don’t understand why! This product is absolutely rubbish in my opinion. I mean, I …

My face usually has a natural pink tinge around my cheeks, and so I never thought I would need to wear blush. When I began to truly wear makeup, I realized that I needed foundation in order to even out my facial complexion. As a result, my natural blush …

The Highland Soap Company is based in the small, though quite busy, village of Spean Bridge, which lies on the A82 main road in the western Highlands of Scotland, not all that far from Fort William. You would never know it to look at the label of their Lemongrass …

I always love pressed powder and facial foundation because I have an oily face, so I would often choice foundation because it naturally hide my pores and help control the greasiness around my face. My recent favorite is this product from Avon cosmetics called True Luminous Dual Powder Foundation …

Lipstick is really one of my vanities in life and seems cannot live without it. So I collected several lipsticks to brighten up my boring days. Lately, my favorite is this wonderful and amazing variety from Avon cosmetics called ultra moisture rich mousse metallic rose lipstick. I love it …

I had a positive experience with BeautiControl’s Spa Nourishing Eye Pads that supposedly have important vitamins and minerals in them. My purchase was at a thrift store where a previous person who sold Beauticontrol was attempting to sell her entire inventory. I checked the expiration date and …

One of the necessities in my bath time regime is Lander Bubble Bath. Over the past two years, I have watched the price go up from $1.97 to almost an additional dollar on top of that but it is well worth it. Lander’s comes in various scents …

I have girlfriends who pity me for my skimpy eyelashes. Maybe it’s because I’m Asian or mostly likely it’s due to genetics (thanks a lot, mom and dad). One girlfriend took enough pity to purchase the Diorshow Mascara and present it for my birthday. When I …

I was interested in experimenting with stick foundation because it has qualities of both loose powder and liquid foundations. Loose powder application requires experience and technique, which I lack. Liquid foundations can clog pore, even if they claim they don’t; I know this because I break out …

There are times when my lips can look pale and lackluster. It may be due to dehydration but I think it’s mostly genetics that my lips look so lifeless. I prefer wearing lip gloss over lipstick because it brings natural-looking color to my lips and puts a …

For someone who has a combination type of skin like me, I’ve constantly found it challenging to create a luminous look for my self. Oftentimes, I venture experimenting with luminizing face lotions or moisturizers to wear that natural sort of bare luminous look even though I tend to …

I have large, dark eyebags. It also doesn’t help that I have a pale face that makes my raccoon eyes more obvious. I don’t know why I have this. I sleep early and am not usually stressed out and so I suppose that it’s already hereditary. Unfortunately, hereditary eyebags …

I am a fan of Avon products overall. They offer quality products at a reasonable price, and unlike some companies, there are no pushy sales people trying to get you to buy the products. I usually order them right out of the catalog or off the Avon …

I really like to wear eye shadow as a part of my makeup regime, especially in the darker shades for the night life. However, after less than an hour of application of the pressed powder version, the shadow wears off and I can no longer see it. I …

I think beautiful curled eyelashes give a very feminine and kind impression. They can also make a person look energetic and awake. Unfortunately, I am the kind of girl with eyelashes that stick straight out so that it looks like I have not eyelashes at all! Using eyelash curlers …

I never leave my apartment without wearing makeup. I have a morning routine for everyday makeup and a night routine for the nightlife. The part of my makeup that really brings out my feminine qualities is my mascara. I always put it on last as the crucial finishing touch. …

My eyes are not as big as I wish for them to appear. I asked a makeup specialist at a MAC cosmetics store for a suggestion on how to make them appear more “open” or “awake” and she suggested that I try using eyeliner. I know that there are …

I tend to wear waterproof eye makeup a lot. I use waterproof eyeliner in order to avoid the characteristic smudging that comes with a pencil eyeliner and waterproof mascara in order to hold the curl of my eyelashes after I curl them. These waterproof products do a great job …

In one of the latest Victoria’s Secret catalogues that come to my house every month, I found a product that I have been looking for for some time now. Too Faced is a line of makeup that I have seen at Sephora, and my friend has almost all of …

I found out from the latest Victoria’s Secret catalogue that they have created a new line of makeup called the Brilliantly Sexy Collection. I was surprised to see how inexpensive this line of lip, eye and face makeup is, and I was interested in trying out some items. To …

I was skeptical when I first saw this lipgloss, and I didn’t buy it until I found it on sale at Big Lots. First of all, it was kind of expensive, and I’m not one to spend a lot on my cosmetics if I can get away with …

I’ve been using Wet n’ Wild cosmetics since I was a teenager. The price has always been right, and the selection has always been just what I am looking for as far as colors go. I always make my way to the Wet n’ Wild display when I …

I’ve tried eyes lips face cosmetics (e.l.f. cosmetics) by shopping on EyesLipsFace.com three times - twice in December 2009 to purchase Christmas “stocking stuffer” gifts for family members and once this past January to pick up some everyday eyeliners and lip balms. e.l.f.’s biggest claim to fame is that …

During last holiday season, I was regularly busy attending parties and occasional social events. I had to joggle between make up changes that I probably overdosed my self with a ton of cosmetics. As an aftermath, my poor skin developed a minor case of pimples, I got …

I purchased the Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Remover for Face a while back and am really impressed at the ease of using this product. The product comes with a tube of the facial hair remover, along with a moisturizer to use following the treatment.
It takes around …

I am always wary of buying new hair straightening irons. They are expensive and only few work really well. I have had a CHI Hair Straightener for six years. That is how loyal I am to my hair straightener manufacturer. However, I knew that it was time to purchase …

With lip liner, you always run the risk of applying too much in the wrong shade and ending up with very strange looking lips. I am not good enough at applying lip liner to avoid making this mistake, so I really need a product that’s easy enough for a …

Smashbox Cosmetics is not an inexpensive makeup line. Products from this line are much more expensive than your typical drugstore line. That said, the products from Smashbox cosmetics are also of a much higher quality. I haven’t enjoyed every product I’ve purchased from Smashbox, but on average, I am …

When it comes to cosmetics, I am always out there looking for good quality at a good bargain. I’ve noticed lately that Wet n’ Wild is improving on their products. I’ve always liked Wet n’Wild because they have always offerd their cosmetics in a wide array of bright …

I came across this lipliner by accident while poking through the clearance bin at Walgreens. I have to say that I’m pretty impressed with it. I spend a lot of time in the cosmetics isle looking for new things, and I had unfortunately missed this lipliner until just …

N.C.Y is one of the cheaper cosmetics brands. I’ts kind of like Wet n’ Wild when it comes to quality. Although I think Wet n’ Wild are beginning to improve upon their products,and are beginnning to really outshine N.Y.C.
This lipliner is definitely a case of getting what you …

This is the cheapest lipstick that I have in my makeup stash. This is from NYX, and it actually isn’t so bad. At first, I was really scared of buying such cheap lipstick, because I’ll be putting it on my lips, but my friend was really into them and …

Benefit is a pretty good brand that sells high quality products, so I’m never fearful of their cosmetics, which is why I slapped down the cash with confidence after seeing this Sugarbomb blush at Sephora. This wasn’t the cheapest, but hey, it is Sephora, after all of it, I …

What attracted me to this product is that word “mineral”. You hear and see a lot of infomercials about how well mineral makeup blends with your skin to produce a flawless look. And although liquid foundation works well and claims not to clog your pores, my common …

This product looks revolutionary because there’s a two-step application. It’s one product with two brushes and includes a primer and mascara. You put on the primer first, which is a white solution that supposed to prep your lashes so that it holds on the mascara better than …

Axe Kilo Deodorant Body Spray is one scent my husband wears that I love. This is one lady who is very much into the Axe effect. Perhaps it is because my husband rarely wears anything that smells good, is a hard worker, and often smells like the …

Shampoo is not one of the most exciting products it is possible to write about, but it is nevertheless a product that just about all of us buy, and where a poor choice can be extremely obvious not just to ourselves but to anyone else who happens to see …
