I have always been cautious in maintaining a good and sensitive skin especially when it comes to whitening products. With all the trend of everyone wanting to be whiter in skin complexion with just some lotion products, I decided to try and ride the bandwagon of skin care as …

I love going to the beach especially during the weekends. I cannot completely define it but it makes me feel refreshed whenever I would feel and smell the sea breeze. I also love getting myself a natural tan as I read my favorite book along the shores of my …

My mother always tells me that my skin is very sensitive ever since I was a baby. Just a little insect bite could lead to huge red spots and even the hot temperature brought by the summer season can really cause me instant prickly heat. Hence, our family dermatologist …

For anyone who would see me back then, it is undoubtedly obvious that I have very horrible dark circles around my eyes. I work on a graveyard shift sometimes when I needed to finish an article or a draft which I think is the main reason why I had …

It is so usual of me to really gain some extra weight after the Christmas holidays. This is because of all the variety of delectable foods served during the celebration. With this, all my extra fats somehow resulted for my skin to sag. As a very busy writer, I …

Like all the rest of the beach bums during summer, I wanted to look cool by trying a self-tanning lotion. I thought it would be nice to look bronze and exotic each time I would hit the beach with my two-piece swimsuit on. The rest of my girlfriends were …

We cannot avoid that sometimes we are exposed to the sun. Lately, I have been getting a lot of exposure outside from the sun’s harmful rays on my skin. It was after a few months that I started noticing the appearance of an uneven skin tone especially on my …

I love this anti-cellulite cream. The main cause of cellulite under our skin is sometimes the weakening of collagen fibers and the fact that we always eat beyond our limit. There are fats trapped under the skin between connective tissue. This causes cellulite. Unfortunately, this cannot be eliminated via …

I am in my graduating year in my master’s degree and I have been spending really late nights lately working on my thesis. Then I noticed one morning that I have these really huge dark circles under my eyes that have been building up. Along with those dark …

It was after a long and successful events party that I realized I needed to finally get myself a new mascara. The party was all that I expected it would end up to be but I did not expect having trouble with my mascara. When I experienced the trouble …

Before getting my current job, I used to work in a musical theatre group where I also was needed to put a lot of makeup on during actual presentations. I had no problem applying makeup on but for a very long time, I have never really had the chance …

This well-known skin care product is produced by a very respected cosmetics company, Dr Hauschka, and has been a favourite with many celebrities (I admit, I became intrigued by this well-known cream, and eventually bought it, precisely because I read many film stars are reported to use it.)
And so, a …

I received the bumble and bumble surf spry as a gift. All the expensive hair products I own, I received as a gift. It is twenty something dollars for a four ounces bottle. I doubt I would ever pay that much money for something that is going to last …

I bought the so sexy shampoo and conditioner because I have a Victoria’s Secret credit card and since that is not real money, I can spend however much I want. And then at the end of the month, I come to my senses and regret buying anything when I …

The LaserLight is a great invention in skin care technology. I underwent the last session of my LaserLight procedures three days ago at Facial Care Center and it was really worth it all. I got this for free because my Boss paid for all the cost. She availed of …

Estee Lauder Perfectionist was a Valentine gift I received from my husband some two years ago. Oh it was very costly as far as I am concerned. My husband bought the bottle of Estee Lauder Perfectionist from Rustan’s at PHP4,900. I thought it was so expensive and honestly I …

Although you do have to look quite hard at the rear of the pack to discover this information, Skin Therapy Fragrance Free Facial Wipes are in fact produced by Wilkinson, the discount household and general chain. To me this is a good sign, since in general I find Wilkinson’s …

My sister gave me a Bath and Body Works Cherry Blossom Splash as a gift when she came home from Germany. I was so excited cause it’s my first body splash from Bath and Body. However when I tried it, it’s not as fragrant as I thought it …

This new hair treatment, which has a good combination of hot oil and a conditioner, is safe in my everyday use. I am using this product right now, after scouting appropriate conditioner for my dry hair, with the goodness of hot oil. I loved this combination because it has also …

I’ve always been happy with my Citre Shine hair mist until a time came when the stores ran out of stock. Seeking for an alternative, I grabbed citre shine highly laminating anti-frizz serum - still the same product name but in a different form. Anyhow, it’s cheap …

I am excessively vain and I abhor the idea of having hair on certain body parts. I still dream of having laser hair removal done one day but for now I have to stick with my shaver and depilatory. I used to stay away from Veet because I have …

I am totally raving about this baby oil. I have excessively dry skin on my face and body and so a lotion really won’t provide as much moisture as I need. I have tried other body oils but they are either too, well, “oily”. This J&J Baby Oil Lite …

Garnier Pore Unblock Foam is my current facial wash. I used to use the acne line of Garnier which is Garnier Pure A which was quite similar to L’oreal Purezone (my favorite wash that was too expensive). I switched to pore unblock foam from Pure A because it’s milder …

I’ve been using this brand (Maybelline) eversince I’ve started wearing makeup in college. Primarily because it’s very cheap and it’s quite decent for a drugstore brand. This lipstick of Maybelline, called Watershine, is supposedly ultra-glossy. Well, it’s really not. It’s not matte though but it has a creamy consistency …

I tend to over-pluck my brows - always. One day, I ended with two bald patches on my left brow because aside from over-plucking, I accidentally over-trimmed the long hairs. It was unsightly and still appeared obvious despite using an eyebrow pencil. I searched on some beauty forums and …

This deodorant promises to give flawless looking underarm and unfortunately I’m not one of the satisfied users of this product. Though Dove products are generally good, this deodorant did not deliver its promise when I used it. Though its ingredients are very mild and smooth to the skin, the …

I always wear my favorite lipsticks even I go to work or attend a special occasions like parties or birthday. I prefer glossy but light lipsticks. It always been comfortable to wear a different color and brand of lipsticks most especially when the brand I used is always been …

Some foundation makeup claim that it covers up your blemishes for a smooth flawless finish. You see cosmetic commercials with already flawless models with perfect complexions shot under expert lighting, claiming that it’s the product that is producing those results. But some products fall short with 99% …

I wanted to try this product because it is one of the few moisturizers that offers SPF protection higher than 15. They say that SPF 15 is enough protection but there’s a sense of security of having a little extra coverage. I find that I’m satisfied …

I can understand why there are a lot of eye moisturizing products out there – the eye is the most sensitive and reactive area on the face. But a moisturizing eye MAKEUP REMOVER? I was intrigued about the product because I didn’t see the point. Unless …

I am a long-time user of St. Ives Swiss Formula products, and particularly like the St. Ives 24-Hour Moisture lotion. I like that St. Ives’ lotions don’t ever feel too greasy, but rather seem to seep into the skin, and this one is no exception.
There is …

The humidity of the finish of summer constantly gives me hair halo. Each morning I look at myself in the reflection and, with the sunlight coming in from the window at my back, I end up looking like an image of a Byzantine saint - a blonde halo radiating …

This was on sale cheaper than the one with Shea Butter and the other kind. So I picked it and purchased it. Given that this comes from Olay, I thought that it has the same moisturizing effect. There are only two body soaps that I can use because of …

I have such an addiction to hair products, it actually scares me sometimes. So last month, I bought a whole bunch of hair products from target because they were on sale. And one of them was the Ganier Fructis wave enhancing spray gel. I usually do not like spray …

I’ve tried so many moisturizers, and have yet to find the perfect one. This one is pretty good though. I actually bought it because I wanted a big bottle of hand lotion for my desk at work and this kind was a good price. Not the …

Back during Christmas while I was shopping around Target and Wal-Mart for specials and little stocking stuffers, I found that there was a special Neutrogena Wave Duo package. First off all, until I saw that I didn’t even know Neutrogena had come out with a new Wave. The package …

I’ve been looking for an inexpensive way to curl my hair and keep it curled without spending close to a hundred dollars on a new curling iron. Money is tight, so I wanted to find out ways that would be affordable, especially for someone like me who have super …

I haven’t used a Clean and Clear product in years. I’ve been strictly a Neutrogena girl when it came to skin care products, but with the current state of the economy and money being tight I had to cut back on some of my expenses, like skin care stuff. …

I haven’t had to use acne products since my early teens but since I’ve gotten older I find it strange that I’m having to go back. My breakouts are not nearly as bad as what they were in my early teens. I rarely get blemishes but I like to …

I have very sensitive skin so I rarely try new cleansers. Once I knew however, how well the other products in the Skin Genesis line worked, I eventually tried their Pore Minimizing Gel Cleanser. This Skin Genesis cleanser has a pleasant, soft, powdery scent and comes in a convenient …

There are just some times when blaring alarms and copious amounts of coffee aren’t enough to get you pumped for the day ahead. It’s times like these when I reach for my Neutrogena Men Invigorating Face Wash. Although I originally purchased it for someone else, I ended up discovering …

Warning, if you like rich, thick, foamy shaving lather, then Neutrogena Men’s Shaving Cream is definitely not for you! This product is thin, watery, and more like a cheap moisturizer than a shave cream. Simply stated, it just doesn’t lather at all! A few seconds after …

Try to imagine that beautiful flushed glow you get after a good workout being captured in a bottle. Benetint by Benefit is a long wearing color stain that delivers gorgeous rosy cheeks and soft kissable lips. I became totally obsessed with Benetint while visiting the Benefit Shop …

Having just tossed my Shick Intuition plus razor in the trash, it occurred to me that the plus may stand for plus razor burn. Seriously, this is the worst razor I have ever had the misfortune to use.
First, the razor handle itself is large, wide, and unwieldy. It feels …

I never thought I would try anything by Deep Sea Cosmetics because their sales people are so pushy and insistent. I have been stopped cold by them in California, New York, and Florida malls. I don’t know, it’s just something about the way they pounce on you when you …

I find buying eye shadow to be hit or miss because most shades look far different on your eyelid than in the compact or even on your wrist when you test out the sample. I also find that most shadows, even the expensive ones, wear off throughout the day …

I’ve always had sensitive skin, I found out that most soaps are too drying leaving my skin dehydrated and flaky. At times, I would have a few blemishes on my body which I perceive as a common sign of irritation. Even soaps that are specially formulated for …

This palette is such a must have! I got it as soon as I saw it sparkling in the corner of Sephora. This cost me $32, which is a bit steep for four eyeshadows, but it was worth every penny. These eyeshadows are so glittery and shimmery and absolutely …

I love experimentation with my colors, and NARS is a great brand that is readily available. I picked up Easy Lover because it’s such a vibrant fuchsia color that screamed to me from the shelves. So I paid $24 for this lip gloss, which is a bit much, but …

I have never heard of this Hourglass brand before I stepped into Sephora, so I was so interested in this new packaging design. I picked up one of my makeup staples, lip gloss, just to be on the safe side, and I feel that I got completely ripped off …
