I am looking for a whitening pressed powder with good coverage and good thing I was able to see Eskinol whitening pressed powder in the grocery. It is a cheap pressed powder but its coverage on my face is wonderful. It’s good to cover up oiliness and …

When I’ve finally decided to not wear much makeup on my face, I emptied my cosmetic pouch and bought what I thought were “milder” makeup. No more cakey powders, foundations and powder blushes. For my new blush, I bought Pretty When Pinched. This cheek tint was incredibly popular about …

I used this in high school and did not really care much for it. However, I decided to give it another try because my skin has changed severely. Recently, I have been breaking out a lot. I think its hormonal or because of stress. Either way, this is something …

This is the most expensive shampoo and conditioner I have ever used. I do not know what possessed me to buy them, considering the fact that I do not even have enough money to buy food right now. I am a struggling artist, and every once in a while …

I have rarely writing a review for a bath product before, but this is so amazing that I just have to sit down and write a review on it. I bought this foaming bath because I found it at the 99 cent store. And since it was only a …

Garnier Fructis fortifying shampoo is a good conditioner. The shampoo gives a good shiny look to my hair. As promised by Garnier, the Fructis shampoo smells fruity and rich. But I am really skeptical about power of Garnier to keep my hairs dandruff free. So I normally use this …

One thing I love about the Fructis line is that, not only does it do what it says, is also smells ridiculously good. Even the finishing product in the dye kits smell good. Garnier products stick out from everything else on the shelves because of their in-your-face green packaging.
This …

As a woman who’se skin tone ranges from pale to pasty at any given time of the year, a gorgeous golden tan is something of a pipe dream for me. Ive always been scared off from fake tans by the hoards of orange oompa-loompa-like women roaming the streets who …

I have been a fan of Clinique products for a very long time. Which is why its quite difficult for me to write this review!
The packaging, in my opinion, is the best part of this product. In an inverted tube, this foundation is packaged so that not a single …

Packaged in the iconic sleek black compact embossed with white interlocking Cs, the …

The new “Bump-Its” hair accessories seem to work so great on TV so I got a set of them from the local walgreens. They’re SO difficult to use and once you finally figure it out it looks mediocre and no where as good as the ones on TV look. …

I have had a lot of grey – actually, white – hair ever since I was in my mid-twenties. It’s a genetic thing, and while I don’t like it much, I am not terribly upset either, because they are of a beautiful hue. Still, having white hair is so far …

I tried this because I thought it can cleanse my face and at the same time delivers its promise that it can lighten your skin with the rosy white promise. I was not really impressed with Pond’s Facial Wash. Since before I’ve tried using their face cream and I …

I am a fan of beauty forums and I must admit that I am a regular visitor everyday. Yes, everyday, even during office hours - how bad of me! Anyway, because of the advice of fellow vain people, I was able to acquire a lot of beauty products.
There was …

Working in the call center industry has been very rewarding in terms of compensation however it also has a downside. Ever since I started working for this industry, I’ve been lacking on sleep. Having to seat in front of the computer for hours has placed so much pressure on …

I’ve recently learned that flouride has been our health’s life long villain and started looking for a toothpaste that has no fluoride content. I started using “Choice” and I don’t have complaints with it. Although the packaging or the outside appearance may be simple but that wouldn’t …

I was introduced to the product by my resident dermatologist after suggesting that I use a medicated cover-up for my rosacea-stricken cheeks. I have blotchy redness, some are post-acne scars from a long time ago and yet still evidently etched on my face. I’ve grown comfortable with …

I bought this avon product from a local dealer. I always look for moisturizers with simple but richly nourishing ingredients. I was stuck with my usual dose of milk and yogurt to treat dryness until deciding on using a whitening lotion for a change.
The texture is less creamy …

I purchased this sunscreen at an upbeat french boutique in one of my trips to Paris last year. It’s called Saint Germaine Lait (milk) moisturizing face and body sunscreen. Well, I was partly attracted to the brand’s posh appeal after a brief stroll at small beauty shops …

I just received my package of Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion today. I’ve been eyeing this product for quite some time in forums and other beauty sites. They say that the Buffering Lotion can easily get rid of cystic acne. I know how cystic acne can be so bothersome! It’s …

Probably the only fetish I have when it comes to cosmetics is lip balm. Yup, I don’t do make-up because my skin is sensitive and I feel that every time I use these products my skin itches.
I’ve come across this really wonderful lip balm. What I like most about …

I’ve always been very particular when it comes to my deodorant. After all, who would want to end up smelly at the end of the day? I’ve started using deodorants since I was in the sixth grade and believe me when I say that i’ve literally tried almost all …

Sainsbury’s Freshmint Toothpaste is the brand that I use most often, and I would definitely say that it worked pretty well on the whole. It is (obviously, I suppose) the own brand of the Sainsbury’s supermarket chain, and so will be easier to find in the United Kingdom than …

I bought my Secret Flawless Clear ladies’ deodorant at a local 99-cent store for (surprise!) abtou a dollar. The Secret Flawless Clear is a gel deodorant that you click up from the bottom dial. I picked the Clearly Tropical scent, because I liked how it smelled.
So far, …

I recently paid almost $70 for a Bare Minerals starter kit, with enough foundation powder, bronzing powder, brushes and mineral finish powder to last a few months, plus a DVD on how best to apply the make-up. For the price, I suppose it is a lot of product, …

Of all cosmetic products out there, I probably know the most about eye make up removers. It took me years to research it and test dozens of products to find the right one. You see I have really sensitive eyes and l love to use waterproof mascara- which is …

This is a staple in my makeup kit. I really prefer wearing a lipbalm under lipstick or gloss because my lips are dry and cracked especially on the sides. It also doesn’t help that I use a retinol and some of the product gets to the mouth area and …

Me and Likas go way, way back. This is the most effective whitening soap there is. Forget about kojic, glutathione, bleaching soap, whatever it is out there in the market that has whitening claims. Likas is all you need. I started using Likas when I was in college I …

I have been using Revlon liquid foundation because I was convinced by my sister who happens to be a make up artist to give it a try. For sure, she knew what she’s talking about. According to her, it was really good. So I didn’t had second thoughts …
