I have sensitive skin, the slightest irritation will cause my skin to flame up so I’m careful about what sorts of beauty and cosmetic products I use on my face. Recently my favorite makeup remover, Almay, has started to irritate my skin. I’m not sure why it started because …

My favorite cosmetic brand, E.L.F. recently came out with many new products under their Studio line. I’ve long been a fan of E.L.F., especially this particular line, and for as much business as they’re getting from me already it’s hard to keep up with the new products they’re constantly …

My favorite cosmetic brand, Eyes Lips Face, or E.L.F., recently came out with many new products under their Studio line. One of those products was their eye transformer. I’ll be honest, I’m a bit of an addict when it comes to E.L.F. products, especially their Studio line. I’ve tried …

This is yet another lotion from the Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush holiday collection. The main reason I bought this lotion was because it has little snowflakes on the bottle. I am an impulsive shopper and very easily persuaded, as it has been made evident. I did not even bother …

My love of Jacuzzis gets more serious in the cold months, especially after a run. I received as a gift a product called Dr. Teal’s Epsom Salt Soaking Solution, in Lavender, and I have been using it almost daily, especially after a long run in the cold or wet …

I went looking for some sort of face powder, brush or bronzer recently when I was at the mall because my face was becoming so pale that it was embarrassing. I always find makeup and cosmetics that I need at Sephora, so I took a look there. I found …

The Johnson’s Baby Milk Lotion is one of my favorite among Johnson’s baby products. Its texture feels like milk in lotion. I love this lotion from the very first time it came out in the market. I use this lotion for the daily skin care for my kids. Even …

There pretty much isn’t a day in my life, since I reached puberty, that I haven’t been wearing some kind of makeup. With a blotchy complexion and a fair skin tone that showed the blotches predominantly, and very dark undereye circles from a serious sleep deprivation condition (called “kids …

When I was a young adult, I sadly had issues with skin problems. Sometimes they were pretty severe though, thankfuly, as I got older, it became nothing more than a mild irritation to me. A few breakouts from time to time that were small and annoying and nothing more, …

Most girls start wearing makeup when they are barely a teenager. And, like most barely-teenagers, I wasn’t too clear on how to properly apply make-up. The first kind of makeup I ever tried was a Max Factor product, and it was as thick and goopy as stage makeup, that …

As soon as I hit puberty at the not so tender age of thirteen, I was immediately engrossed in a world of hormones and… sadly…. acne. There was no getting around it, seeing as how the problem seemed to run in my family and I was destined to have …

I was twelve years old, I think, when I first started pilfing my mother’s makeup (which was five shades too dark and orange for my very pale skin tone), and I’ve used foundation and/or concealer on a daily basis since then. Now that I’m in my thirties, that’s a …

I have a shopping problem that often requires me to buy products with names I’ve never before heard of, no matter what the product is for. It’s a sickness, I know, but I feel compelled to try new things in all kinds of departments, including skin care and cosmetics. …

I moisturize my lips as often as I can and I’ve never been that vulnerable to chapping or any lip damage. Strangely enough, my lips began cracking and I’ll have painful patches on my lower lips just these past few weeks. This problem only began since we …

I recently ordered this nail polish off of ELF’s website. I’ve never had a brown nail polish before, so I thought it would be a good addition to my collection, considering it was only a dollar. Online, the swatch was of a medium-deep chocolate brown, like the name, which …

Before I tried several mild creams and lotions for facial care, I have been a long time user of Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture with SPF15. I love this facial moisturizer very much. I am willing to spend budget for this 4-ounce pump bottle. This is absolutely mild as its product …

I am an avid user of Neutrogena products even in my younger years. I almost tried all of the Neutrogena products and most them I am satisfied. But when I tried the Neutrogena Light Night Cream, I felt a little bit disappointed because this product does not give me …

I used to use Schwartzkopf and L’Oreal products to dye my hair with but about a few months ago I decided to change my hair colour from golden chestnut to blond. That wasn’t very easy because every brown colour leaves read traces so my hair wasn’t an exception. First …

I have found my new favorite face wash. Even though I have found a few good face washes already, I like trying new ones and keep experimenting with what works on my face and what does not. However, since I have started using more natural and environmentally friendly products, …

This is a new holiday collection from Victoria’s Secret’s Secret Garden Collection. To be honest, I never really liked any other Secret Garden lotions. They were all either too strong or too sweet smelling or me. However, I decided to buy the Merry Vanilla Twirl Lotion because the festive …

This is a review of the hilariously named Sexy Mother Pucker lip gloss from Soap & Glory. This is more than a lip gloss as it claims to plump your lips to create a full, beautiful mouth. It contains ‘superfill microspheres’ which are basically like little sponges …

I have been using this depilatory cream by Nair since I was an adolescent as it is effective and leaves my skin beautifully silky smooth. It can be used as a hair removal on all bodily areas including your bikini line. This is usually one of the …

The Virgin Vie Stay Calm Cleansing Lotion is fragrance and color free and, as the bottle says, it is for ‘delicate and unhappy skin’. My skin is always unhappy for one reason or another and it is rather sensitive, reacting quickly to anything that does not agree with …

I liked the idea of a hairspray that not only holds my style but also gives the shine a boost so I tried out the Silvikrin Shiny Hold Hairspray by Wella. This cost me about £2.79 for 250ml can which was not bad. It claims to hold …

I’m constantly beset with skin allergies, from time to time my doctor prescribe me a clinical ointment for relieving symptoms particularly the pruritic itching that causes swelled rashes on my extremities. My upsetting dermatitis reactions happen rarely but when they do, it’s usually a bad mild occurrence. …

I have a major problem with my eye lids which go oily most of the time. The oiliness will make most eye liners smudge or at times my mascara inks out on my upper eye lids. I’m also wearing contact lenses at daytime which can make me …

Keeping my hair clean and dandruff free is very important. Choosing the right shampoo that works for my hair is essential, for I have a very long hair that I maintain for almost six years now. I have used different kinds of shampoo that I usually purchased over the …

I was quite thrilled to get started with a brand new makeup regimen once I got this Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector. As always, it’s inclined with my growing fascination to naturally glowing skin. Of all the things I’ve had my hands on, YSL top secret moisturizer was …

After a long day in the heat, I use an After Sun cream. Vichy’s After Sun is one of my preferred after sun creams. It is convenient to use as it is in a squeeze tube. It may not be as easy to use as a spray but it …

Apart from Pantene, there is one other shampoo which I like to use. This is Dercos shampoo which is made by Vichy Laboratories. The Dercos line has a whole range of shampoos which is suitable for all types of hair. I use the one which is specific for fine …

I have very sensitive skin that is oily and acne-prone. I am also 45, so I am concerned with aging skin issues. I live in the South, so summers are hot and humid, making my summer face cleansing a challenge. In the winter, it gets cold …

Sometimes, what we think can make us look beautiful is often causes the problem. A wide selection of different foundations are available in various stores today. A foundation is a pigmented solution used in the face, back, neck and the
body part. Its main purpose is to accentuate an …

I was actually shopping for vitamins at my local GNC store, when I saw a cosmetic item that immediately caught my eye. The brand, Origins, was one that I have seen a lot in advertising and articles, but have never tried. There was a bright orange jar of a …

My hair has been worrying me in recent years as I have been losing a lot down the plughole every time I wash it and it has lost body and shine definitely. I have been using a good hair conditioner lately which has improved the health of my …

Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad is a high quality eye shadow with a lovely colour range that appeals to me and, as the name suggests, there are four colours to each palette. None of the colours are particularly bright which does not suit me anyway, and with …

For years I used ordinary cleanser to remove my eye make up and I suffered the consequences with stinging eyes and panda eyes in the morning so I have started to try out a few proper eye make up removers. Considering the good reputation Clarins has for fantastic …

This Shine & Protect Shampoo from Ojon seemed appealing to me, not only because it is organic, but because it is a shampoo that claims to give a wonderful shine and provide UV and heat styling protection for your hair. Often I have found that shampoos that claim …

I bought a lipstick from Avon’s range of Ultra Colour Rich Mousse lipsticks because I read a review that said it makes your lips feel greasy. This was appealing to me because I usually put my lipstick on over a slick of Vaseline or lip balm anyway. …

I envy those people who seems do not have sweat glands or any single pore in their body. They don’t have to deal with body odor. They can walk under the sun and still look fresh and odorless, not a single sweat. Unlike me, it seems that I’m blessed …

At my age, I normally should not get any pimples or zits anymore but I do.I think it is due to a combination of factors. I am already in the menopause stage and therefore, estrogen is not anymore well regulated if not totally absent. In addition, I have the …

Choosing a good sun block is not easy and I do have a few criteria which I want in a sun screen in order for me to use it. I have tried several sun blocks and I use some of them regularly while others are crossed …

The idea of wearing leg stockings to me sounds matronic. As an adult, I often find it embarrassing to bare my legs because of a few ugly scarring and especially the darkness on my knees just doesn’t look nice. Instead of wearing leg stockings, I’m more comfortable …

I got the privilege to sample this hair serum for a friend who’s a major retailer for tigi bed head products. She’s nagging me to switch to Tigi since I’ve always loved my citre shine and kerastase for hair care and I often like to traipse between professional …

I was going on vacation and realized I was running out of concealer out of all things! Using my YSL touch eclat as a remedial concealer for my tired-looking dark eye circles felt like forever with which I was a devoted patron for more than a year, but …

I started using Zoya nail polish when I went for a manicure at a salon that uses this brand. I hadn’t ever heard of Zoya before and was delighted to hear that there was a polish free of some of the harmful chemicals common to many polishes (this …

I came to extreme heights as an ardent lover for beautiful nails after splurging on a Chanel nail color. My sister came home one time after a day trip to the salon and bragged about her chanel-laden tips in an extraordinary gold color. I envied it so …

If you have lots of money you may never think of going to a small salon like La Diva, but if you’re a student with limited budget, you might like the idea of going to a salon for regular treatment with cheap prices.
Though the price of the treatments …

In many years, I was a devoted follower of Lancome’s compact pressed powders. Lancome’s Maquicreme Infinite was among a few of the foundations I’ve used from their makeup line. Perhaps, I haven’t found anything that can match lancome maquicreme’s rich creamy texture as a creme foundation. …

The Nioxin Scalp Treatment is a part of a family of hair care products that I trust very much. I find Nioxin products to be expensive or upscale, but I must admit, they are rather effective and really work on my dry scalp problem.
This little thing is no …

I just discovered this shampoo two weeks ago, and I’d been in love with it ever since. It’s just so great on my hair, and it’s made by L’Oreal, too, a big cosmetics company that knows hair and skin very well.
Boy, was I glad I bought this from …
