I am currently using the Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra powder foundation in the shade ‘Sand Beige’. Having used other foundation from other Maybelline …

I tried Mineralash Mascara in Jet Black a month a go and have worn it every day and night since then! As a long-time cosmetic junkie, I’m not easily impressed, but I have to say that I am hooked on this mascara!
The choice between healthy, safe cosmetics and those …

When it comes to cosmetics, I’m blank. I mean I don’t know a thing about make ups. I don’t use it. The only thing that I use is a face powder. Other than the reason of allergy, I didn’t grew up seeing my mom using make up so I …

I went to Super Hair Design in Surrey, Canada on Tuesday, December 29, 2009. My hair was already growing out of control and I felt that it was time to get a good haircut. I had postponed this haircut session for a number of weeks already, alas, …

Although I have been using Garnier shampoos and conditioners for ages I really can’t say that I’ve ever found any of them that really suited me. I was never 100% satisfied with any of them and I have really tried a bunch of them. I just came back from …

Another beauty product I got as gift this Christmas is Beauty Rush lip gloss by Victoria’s Secret. Its flavor is Juiced Berry. I got really delighted upon seeing this Lip gloss of Victoria’s Secret. I love to try new products and it being a Victoria’s Secret brand made me …

I love Scotties! They make such cute commercials! Well, fine, I won’t judge their product based on their commercials. But their tissues are really pretty good quality. They’re very soft, and also a lot more expensive than the regular no name brands, but I think that it’s actually worth …

Alright, ladies, let’s talk mascara. One of my favorite subjects, I can never ever leave the house without some form of mascara on my lashes. Be it powder, cake, or liquid form, I always need something so that my lashes are actually visible to the outside world. I am …

Oh dearie me, hasn’t everybody raved enough about this product? I picked it up a couple days ago, and have been wearing it every since. Do I love it, yes I do, in fact, but do I adore it so much that I’m going to sleep with it under …

This is some new Japanese brand that my penpal in Japan sent me, (yes I have a penpal, and yes, it comes in handy when you can’t get access to all those new Japanese releases on cosmetics and beauty products) And it comes in a red sleek tube with …

After the pleasant experience with Covergirl’s Lash Exact, I decided that its sister, Volume Exact, should also have a home in my makeup bag. I went to Walgreens during its last BOGO sale, and I bought this mascara only because I got one other Covergirl product free of charge. …

Yup, look at me, scrounging the Korean markets, looking for the perfect false eyelashes. I think I may have found them, but I can never be too sure. I have never in my life heard of MISSHA eyelashes, and I thought, hey, they’re just $2.50, and that’s a …

Ever since I was in high school, I have tried to find the perfect hair brand that I can stick with for the rest of my life, and not worry about damaging my hair or not cleaning it enough. Right now, I haven’t found this miracle brand, but Herbal …

I am a huge fan of all types of mascaras. At any given time, I am pretty sure that you can always find at least 4 tubes lying around. Usually, out of those four tubes, one will be a high end mascara, one will be a drugstore, one will …

Did I ever tell you that my house is strewn with lip glosses? If not, it is. My daughter and sister are forever pilfering my glosses, and they are justified in doing so, because they pick them off the bedside tables, the floors, and even sometimes, under pillows and …

My oh my, this little baby cost me a whopping $42! Would I repurchase? Not with that price. Anyway, this is a decent product. Because this is called a luminizing pen, I think it’s actually supposed to highlight and brighten the skin, rather than hide it, so I used …

When I went to high school, I depended on one brand, and one brand only. That brand was Wet n Wild. I suppose, on a high school girl’s allowance, this was the only brand that I could afford, and because it has so many colors, I went gaga over …

So I’ve never really been a big fan of MAC. Sorry to say, but their products don’t interest me as much as they do other beautiful ladies. Usually, I just like their lipglasses and mascaras, and that’s pretty much it. They do have a nice formula with their lipglasses, …

I tend to have very dry skin, especially during the wintertime. I will admit that I am very cheap, which is why I usually buy the store brand of most products. However, there is one thing that I refuse to be cheap about, and that is Olay …

I have very big pores, therefore, my skin is also very prone to blackheads and whiteheads. My dermatologist then prescribed that I undergo intense exfoliation twice a month called microdermabrasion. She blasts tiny particles of exfoliants to my skin using a machine. This procedure really made my pores smaller …

If you are one of the people who suffer from dry, cracked feet and hands in the winter time then this is a wonderful product for you! Or, if you simply happen to be a fan of fair trade products or natural products with nice, fragrant and natural scents, …

I was out Christmas shopping a few weeks ago and I could not resist buying myself a little something special. It is really hard to buy a gift set for someone without getting one yourself.
I found a really nice gift set called Body Fusion, and the bath collection comes …

My old eye cream has worst effect. The fold under my eyes tend to have a dark outline whenever I stay up late. I also have allergic rhinitis and my doctor told me that one of the causes why people have dark circles is because of allergies. It was …

I don’t believe in almost all promises that makeup companies offer. They always incorporate something new in the makeup. Its an evolving thing. Whitening, softening and now age defying? Well, the promise are endless. In my experience, Clinique has the perfect products in maintaining fragrance-free cosmetics. I remember my …

This mascara is waterproof and resistant also from sebum according to it. The most common feature is waster-proof but I really like this mascara because of its dark color. I normally chose black because I can’t really understand why makeup company go for colored mascara. The color is different …

I dislike this night cream mainly because of its effect immediately when you apply it. The most common benefit you derive from using a night cream is the moisturizing effect on your skin at night. This was well delivered by this night cream however my skin tends to get …

Most of the serum I’ve tried feels like pancake syrup in the skin. When you will try a face product which is in serum form, expect that it will be more sticky because a serum is a face lotion which is highly-concentrated. I find serums more effective than an …

I tried this once when I was looking whitening soap. I have dark patches on my back because of sun bathing. I was on the lookout for soap at that time and I thought going for whitening soap is a good idea. Cosmetics are now evolving and whitening body …

A day moisturizer is important to keep your skin hydrated all throughout. I like this day moisturizer from Shiseido because it also keeps your skin shielded from environmental hazards. I first thought this would not deliver total protection. It seems most of the moisturizers that I used gave me …

I have been working in the cosmetic industry for more ethan five years so I have tried this product on a myriad of different people with different skin tones and skin types. I have to admit that there is no product out there that is going to work for …

Benefit’s newest anti-aging product, “The Youth as We Know It” is one of the few products on the market that actually makes my skin feel and look younger. So many anti-aging products claim to make the skin appear more youthful yet fail to deliver any results at all. This …

I was quite impressed at the packaging. The name “Happyderm” does give the impression as stated. This comes in a cute little pink pump bottle. You can say that it’s very cutesy. I like how the fact that the moisturizer comes in a pump so that bacteria wouldn’t invade …

ELF (eyes lips face) is a cosmetic company that has everything for just a dollar. There prices are the cheapest out there and they also offer mineral makeup which cost a little bit more. It’s a great company for quality makeup at a cheap price. I ordered the All …

I ran out of my favourite shower gel the other day, which is Bionsen shower oil and on the bath tub there was Linpha, Rose Centifolia shower cream so as I didn’t want to come out of the shower just to take a new bottle of my shower oil …

I really don’t like foundations because none of them is perfect and most of them don’t even do what it promise to do. I tried many different foundations and I was never fully satisfied with any of them. Most of the times, when I apply a foundation my skin …

Wow! I really love Christmas! One of the reasons is that I really find it delightful to share my blessing by giving gifts to love ones and friends. I also do enjoy receiving gifts whether big or small. It makes me feel I am loved and remembered. This …

I have been using this lipstick for years. This is one of the best lipsticks that I have ever used. The fist time I used Coty 24 hour lipstick, I was a bridesmaid at my friend’s wedding. I went to the store to purchase a new lipstick because I …

I bought his product last summer which I bought at Tesco supermarket but I forgot how much it cost at that time and I think I really don’t like it that much although I got it because it was very cheap compared to the other bubble bath I saw …

Every girl has that one makeup product that they’ve had in the bottom of their makeup bag for ages. For me, that product is Carmex lip balm. You probably see it in the checkout aisle of drug stores and grocery stores all the time in that familiar bright yellow …

My skin tends to get extremely dry when I wear a lot of makeup or use harsh face washes. That’s why I probably spend the most money on my moisturizer. I’ve been told by makeup artists that the most important step before applying any makeup is to moisturize correctly. …

Sally Hansen has teamed up with Carmindy to make this line of new cosmetics, and as always, I could not wait to try it out! I raced to the nearest ULTA, and picked up this Natural Beauty blusher, because it look like it would work on my skin tone, …

Who doesn’t love MAC? Me, for one, but so far, all the products that I have tried aren’t so bad. So I’m not complaining. Until I pick up a bad tube or pan of something at least. Well, I just went to Sephora and came back with one product. …

I have tried so many ways of hair removal. Right now, I am leaning toward waxing, but I head about a miracle razor that beats waxing. Really? I have to try it. The Venus Embrace razor is pretty nifty! It has like 5 blades, so I get the closest …

Chanel and I do not like each other very much. With its eyeshadows, it’s either too creamy, too frosty, not pigmented enough, or just not for me! I cannot find a Chanel eyeshadow in my bag or on my desk, mostly because all the ones that I own have …

I am a big fan of drugstore products, as all of you know. Milani is one of those hit or miss brands, but I still go running back to them. Why? Because of their incredible value. Just yesterday, I picked up Milani’s Black Magic Eyeliner for $5, which is …

Holy moly, this quad cost me 60 buckaroos! There are only 4 shadows here, in case you were wondering. This is from the Guerlain Cherry Blossom collection, and this is absolutely beautiful. Absolutely expensive, but beautiful nonetheless. There are 4 cool toned, purpleish, pinkish, eggplant, plum shades. Funny how …

I am on a glitter kick! Again, I know, but it’s really fun! I’m cranking out looks at the speed of sound. Glitter eyeliner just are so much better than shimmer or matte or cream, because they make my eyes just pop! The packaging is beautiful, there’s a rock …

Glitter in eyeliner form. I love it. Also, it comes in a Smurfette design! Who could resist, obviously not me, so I picked it up, not caring how much it cost. This is a limited edition release anyway, so it was probably the only chance I had. The design …

I always keep a clean leg, a clean underarm area, and a clean bikini area. By clean, of course I mean hairless. If I wanted to keep it nice and smooth for weeks, I cannot simply rely on shaving or depilatory creams. I had to endure the pain of …

Anna Sui is so hard to find these days! Everywhere I am shopping for makeup and cosmetics, I always look for the distinctive black rose that resembles Anna Sui. I really like the line of products, as they are usually high quality, and I can usually find them for …
