For years, I have been searching for the right liquid foundation for me that would agree with my sensitive skin. I thought the search was over when I met a former high school classmate of mine. I was shocked when I saw how her face had improved so much. …

Great cuts in Chicopee is one of the better places in the area to go and get a haircut but the prices are a little high to what they use to be. I remember back when you could get a haircut for about $8 at most saloons and now …

I have lengthy eye lashes but limp and needs a lot of curling every now and then. The problem with most mascaras is often their poor ability to hold a lasting curl. My bare lashes are also kind of thick in breadth so they’re not very malleable …

My daughter is now thirteen. We have been letting her wear a little eveshadow and a lightly colored lip gloss for about a year now. She has been bugging me to wear foundation for a while now. As a trained beauty consultant, I know the foundation will just make …

L’Oreal eye makeup remover is a fairly decent product for removing eye makeup. I wear heavy eye makeup and it does not remove all of it. I believe it has a problem with being able to remove waterproof mascara even though it does not say
anything about this …

Mascara is a make-up staple for me. If there is time for nothing else, I don’t leave the house without a dash of blush across my cheeks and a bit of mascara on my lashes. After my last mascara ran out, I saw a two-pack of L’Oreal Voluminous …

I used to use razors that required me to replace cartridges every time I wanted a new blade, but that got to be an expensive hassle. I have gone back to trusty, old disposables! But I don’t like the cheap, plastic razors like the ones you get for free …

Of all the hair products cluttering up my bathroom drawers, the one I reach for most often is probably my Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 creme. The bottle is pink, and has a blue exclamation point across the front label. What I love about this product is how smooth …

I was never familiar with the brand name after buying this lotion from a discount store. Beautiful Soap and Co. sounds irrelevant to me but it were because of the natural ingredients that made it promising to use.
I’ve never applied anything on my body that feels as wonderful …

I bought Sally Hanson’s Lacquer Shine polish in Brilliant 04. It’s a very classy, mature dark red with just a little bit of sparkle and a lot of shine.

There are a variety of facial scrubs under the St. Ives name. There are a few reasons I like this particular kind and a few reasons I sometimes pass it up in the aisle.
Naturally Clear apricot scrub uses walnut shell powder to scrub away dry, rough skin, much like …

I have geisha lips – they’re so narrow that they don’t span the width of two fingers. So naturally, I look for products that claim to pump up your lips just as well as getting a lip injection. I came across Lip Fusion XL, and despite the …

I rarely wear lipstick ever. I usually just stick with eye make up because the rule is that you either wear a heavy eye makeup or put on a heavy lipstick. I love wearing mascara and eyeliner a lot. However, I had always stayed away from wearing lipstick. But …

I purchased Wen shampoo from Amazon, rather than their own website. Even though I paid the same price as the package but only received the shampoo, I did this because I did not want to get locked into the auto ship feature just in case I didn’t …

I was given a tube of Freeman Barefoot Revitalizing Foot Scrub for Christmas this year. The first thing I noticed was that the formula included lemon and sage, two scents I really like. I opened the tube and smelled it, and thought it smelled really good. But the …

I use Crest Classic Whitestrips at least once or twice a year, as I smoke and sometimes notice my teeth getting a little discolored. I want a nice, bright smile, and know the real way to get that would be to quit smoking! However, in the meantime, I will …

I didn’t know Sally Hansen made makeup at all, except nail polish, until I found this Smoky Eyes kit inspired by Carmindy at CVS. This was pretty cheap, for all the stuff that I get, I paid $23, and I got three eyeshadows, a mascara, and an eye liner. …

I’m constantly looking for a good moisturizer that hydrates my dry areas while leaving my already oily area alone. It’s also important for the product to be hypoallergic because my skin tends react to most products the longer I live the product on. Since the moisturizer is …

There are a lot of products that claim to rebuild and strengthen the integrity of your skin. These products are for those who don’t have the funds or the guts for surgical procedures. Cleverly named “Skin Genesis”, the serum looks like it would do just that. …

I was going after the thought of making a simple lip color, one that doesn’t look ostentatious with just a light pat of color. That started my fondness for lipstains as a suitable alternative for glossimers and bold lipsticks. Among a bunch of lipstains, I have Covergirl …
