I accidentally bought Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser once when I meant to purchase Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing and Makeup Remover after I had run out. Be forewarned, both products look very similar. They are the same 6 ounce size, are the same price ($6) and have the same …

I’m guilty of taking advantage of the mania for BB creams by hoarding free samples, and for sure there are several others who, while not so keen, end up collecting samples like a magpie. This abundance spewed out by the makers of BB creams has kept me from …

Everything …

This foundation literally made me look like a greasy cakey clown. I got this from Sephora, and it cost around $50.00 with tax in CA. I can’t believe I spent this much on such a low quality product.
The employees at Sephora recommended this product to …

Before I start I must say that although lavender is a bit of a ‘love it or hate it’ fragrance for most people, I’m not too fussed either way with it. So when I received two bottles of Yves Rocher Provençal Lavandin shower gel as a Christmas present I …
