I am an avid fan of whitening products. While those with white or fair complexion spend their money to make their skin tanned, most of those with dark or brown skin like me spend tons of money on various whitening products. From face
creams to body lotions to bath soaps …

I had this as a gift from my sister who is in the US. Actually it was not originally mine because this was given to my youngest sister. We both received a body lotion, but mine was a different scent. When I smelled this Plumeria Body Lotion, I was …

This product claims to be “a soft, smooth and micro-fine loose powder for a matte silky finish.”
Silky? I don’t think so.
After application, I don’t really see a difference in my complexion. It doesn’t make my face fairer. It doesn’t make my skin …

I’ll like to start off with what I dislike about this product.
First of all, because it is oil free, it makes my skin dry. After applying it for a few hours, I can see my skin getting dry as dead skin starts to appear, …

As a person who takes great pride in her nails, I am always on the look-out for the best nail care products. I’m sure I’m not the only one to say that chips in nail colour are a nuisance and painting them frequently can be time consuming to say …

ZA blush vibrante is not just a blusher. It comes with a silvery, glittery powder which I use to highlight …

Sometimes I hate to go out without eye make up. I look sleepy without a bit of eye make up. To make myself look energetic, I need a bit of mascara and eyeliner.
For eyeliner, I like to go for this Germany brand called Orma. …

I think this liquid eye liner is a little too runny. It might be named “extreme”, but it didn’t create the extreme, dramatic effect that I want. On the contrary, it turned out to be pretty ordinary.
Since it is runny, I have to apply …

This product, in my opinion, does not blend well with the user’s original skin colour.
Being one with rather tanned skin, I opted for the concealer’s tone which is medium beige dark. However, when I apply it onto the blemishes on my face, it turned out …

Pure Silk is basically a generic brand of Skintimate. It’s cheaper and works exactly the same, maybe even better. I used to always just use a bar of soap to shave with, but that just doesn’t give the same feel to my legs as actual shaving cream does.
I have …

This two-ended mascara really makes me eyelashes longer. I first apply the white mascara, then the black one, and the next thing I know is: my eyelashes become so long that I can not recognise them as my own eyelashes. Surprise, surprise!
However, sometimes I …

Jeu Fake Eyelashes come in a great variety, but most of them are full eyelashes instead of individual ones. Some people might not like full eyelashes as it creates a very dramatic effect where individual lashes on the other hand are more natural. However, I personally feel …

Pro to go lipstick is by the far the best lipstick I have ever used. You can buy it from Avon for around nine dollars, or if you can catch it on sale you can get it for around six dollars. I love this lipstick because it is extremely …

I own the 1″ CHI Turbo Hair Straightener and it makes my wavy messy hair look smooth, sleek and straight. This flat iron is definitely one of the higher end models compared with Hot Tools and cheaper straighteners made by Revlon etc., but trust me …

My skin was doing crazy things. I was starting to get pimples again. I felt like I was in high school! I was wondering why I was getting pimples again. On top of that I am always trying …

mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow is a great eye shadow overall. I love this eye shadow because you get to pick the colors that you want. Usually when you buy eye shadow in a palette you don’t get to choose the colors, you get whatever colors come in …

The aroma essences from plants are what essential …

I have found the Loreal Dermo-Expertise White Perfect Re-Lightening Milky Emulsion a little bit disappointing because it is not what I expected with Loreal products. I bought it because that time it was new to me besides I was using then the White Perfect Re-Lightening products. I have been …

I personally love the black and gold look of the Keri Nourishing Shea Butter Lotion bottle. Unfortunately I do not like the consistency of the lotion. Even when I shake it up it comes out a bit liquid. When I rub it into my skin it …

The Bath & Body Works Pleasures Pearberry body cream is a very light and whipped cream for the body. The smell is very fruitful, yet soft and not overbearing. The packaging is very nice, in a tube you can squeeze and the 8oz amount is more than …

I recently tried a product that was a bit gimmicky, a mascara with a vibrating wand. While the concept was unique and interesting, a found that it was a bit messy, and that the vibrations did not allow me to put a very thin coat of mascara on, which …

I have had so much skin damage from years of not wearing sunscreen in my youth that now, no matter how well I protect my face, the signs of the damage are quite visible on my face. I have a fair amount of brown spots that bother me a …

I usually used facial soap that I got from skin specialist doctor for my skin face. But it’s been few years ago since I went to the doctor. I think it was five years ago since I went there and bought the special facial soap for my skin. I …

This is the best eye makeup remover I have ever used! Seriously, I love this stuff. Clinique Take The Day Off Eye Makeup Remover works like magic taking off my eye makeup. It doesn’t take any effort at all to get my eyeshadow and eyeliner off; even my waterproof …

This was the first NYX product that I ever bought. Before an Ulta store was built near where I live, I didn’t know any place that sold NYX, and I didn’t want to order online. I saw this trio at Kroger and decided to get it even though the …

It’s definitely great to have an eyeshadow primer to keep eyeshadow from wearing off throughout the day. It also makes eyeshadows more vibrant which is great for less pigmented shadows. I really like the Urban Decay Primer Potion. This does a terrific job as an eyeshadow primer, and I …

I got the Estee Lauder More Than Mascara as a free sample. I really like this mascara, and even though the full size costs a lot, I am probably going to get it once my sample runs out because this makes my usually short lashes look really long. It’s …

My mom knows how much I love natural colors, so when she saw the Jane eyeshadow for sale, she decided to buy me one in Hazelnut. I’m pretty sure Jane Eye Zings are about three dollars each which is a really affordable price. The color Hazelnut is a very …

Pretty much all my eyeliners are black, and I own a few brown eyeliners, but that’s it. I decided to try a different one, so I bought the Revlon Luxurious Color Eyeliner in Burnished Amber. It’s kind of like a bronze/amber color, and it looked really pretty. However, I …

When I was first starting out makeup, I really liked looking at the Claire’s makeup palettes. I finally decided to get the one that had colors great for smoky eyes. The colors included four different shades of blue, four shades of grey, a black, and a white eyeshadow-ten eyeshadows …

Before this I’ve used the Lancome Makeup Remover that I got as a free sample, but when I ran out of that, I decided to try the Mary Kay makeup remover. I usually wear waterproof mascara which obviously doesn’t come off just by washing it, so I have to …

I was running out of nail polish remover so I decided to try a new one because the last nail polish remover I owned didn’t work so well. I bought the Sally Hansen Polish Remover. I don’t know whether to like this or hate this.
First of all, I hate …

Lately, I’ve been getting into bright nail polishes like yellows and oranges for some reason. I think it’s really nice to have bold nail polish since I’m not brave enough to have bold makeup. When I was at Sally’s Beauty Supply Store a few weeks ago, I saw this …

I got a free sample of this lotion in the mail. I keep trial sizes in my purse because my hands can get dry when I am out and about, and I really love Dove products so I was happy to have this. When you first rub …

ANEW ULTIMATE Night Gold Emulsion is a great product from Avon. This cream doesn’t make my skin oily or dry. I saw results of this cream after about nine days. When I first used it I thought it was going to make my skin oily but it didn’t. …

I love my Clinique lipstick! This is super duper amazing. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
First of all, the color looks so pretty. It is darker than anyone’s natural lip color yet somehow it still manages to look fairly natural. It is a really pretty dark pink/rose color, …

Sterling Rose is a quad of four very different colored eyeshadows. The first one is a brown, the second eyeshadow is a pink, the third one is a silvery gray, and the last one is a black. I believe the cost is around eight dollars, pretty expensive for a …

I have brown eyes and not the kind that are really pretty and piercing or anything. Just plain, boring brown eyes so dark they’re almost black, to my constant annoyance. I heard that purple eyeliner makes brown eyes pop so I wanted to give it a try. My mom …

I love pigmented lips, so I am always on the lookout for a lipgloss that is actually pigmented and gives color to my lips instead of being really sheer. I bought the VOV Candy Lipgloss in China when I was there for vacation a few summers ago, but I …

I don’t usually wear blue eyeshadow because it is just too bold for me, and I don’t really think blue eyeshadow looks good on many people. However, Mystic was such a pretty blue that I had to try it out. It is kind of a greenish-blue, like a like …

I love brown eyeshadow, so I decided I would try out the Stila eyeshadow in Golightly. It is a pretty frosty brown, and it looks really nice on the crease. It kind of reminds me of MAC Tempting only not as shimmery. It is a gorgeous color that looks …

Everyone needs a good eyeshadow primer. Eye primers make eyeshadow last longer and help prevent creasing. They also are suppose to make the eyeshadow more vibrant. I already had the Urban Decay Primer Potion which is an eye primer, but my relative (who sells Mary Kay) gave this to …

I have side bangs, and sometimes they really get in the way. To keep them from hanging into my face, I use Goody bobby pins. The ones I have come in a pack of fifty for only about two to three dollars. Very affordable. These are especially useful when …

I have been searching for a perfect foundation for many years now. I have tried all different types such as liquid, creme, powder, tinted moisturizer, liquid to powder and now mousse. I’ve tried just about every kind and many many different brands from low end to high end. I …
