One of the selling points of the Pangea Organics Facial Mask is supposed to be that it is organic. Quite frankly, I wasn’t too fussed. I was in the market for a mask and I decided to try this product after reading that the promise was that “No matter what …

I recently left my vanity bag on a train while en route to a sourcing destination (I was devastated!). I had to purchase a brand new ‘face’. I generally stick to MAC make up products, however without a MAC counter in sight and the pressing need for make up, I …

I’ve become a fan of Sunsilk’s affordable hair care products because I’ve loved everything from them I’ve tried so far.

The …

Old Spice Pacific Surge Deodorant is one of the few fragrances that actually reminds me of what its labeled as, and, therefore, is the brand I choose. For some reason, it’s scent is what i remember the pacific ocean to be, especially on cloudy days, when the waves are …

Clinique Turnaround 15-Minute Facial is a microdermabrasion mask, it’s the first such mask I’ve tried. I’ve heard so much about microdermabrasion, but I didn’t want to have to spend a whole lot of money in a salon. I decided that this was the product for me.
I bought the 2.2 …

I first tried Sunsilk Mosisture therapy for purely economical reasons. I was in school, and on a budget. My hair is pretty dry and my styling habits haven’t exactly helped. I can’t get away with not using conditioner so I purchased Sunsilk. Sunsilk is an Indonesian brand widely available across …

I purchased this item from CherryCulture.com
As a huge shimmer/glitter fan, I was so excited when I saw this. I love eye bling. I can’t help it!
I was disappointed immediately.
Aside from the horrible smell of the eye shadows, the “metallic” shadows are only metallic-looking on the surface. When I tried …

When I think of Victoria’s Secret, I think of makeup. I love their line of cosmetics. It is excellent quality. It doesn’t break the bank.
Needless to say, when I saw this face kit I knew I had to have it. I loved the glosses in the palette to death. …

I bought this palette from a drugstore a while back. I didn’t expect much of it. In my experience, palettes with a lot of colors that are found at drugstores are usually the bomb.
This palette may be the exception.
It has 68 colors and each one looks fantastic on my …

Let me start off by saying this: the makeup stinks.
No, I am not bashing the quality of the makeup but its smell. It stinks. Literally.

I have been using Cover Girl’s Lash Blast mascara for about a month now. I must say, I am in love!
It’s not expensive and it gets the job done.
I haven’t had a problem with clumping.
It separates my lashes and gives me volume.
The only downside is …

Before I really started to get into makeup, i would just apply the eye shadow straight on my lid, and I would notice that hey, my shadows aren’t showing up very well. I walked into sephora and i asked them what do i do? and they told me …

I have had some success with this product and it has helped to reduce the number and severity of my acne breakouts, however even with this product, I still seem to get these painful pimples that cause pain in the immediate area and a little bit of the surrounding …

The Face Shop is not a local Philippine cosmetic brand, in fact I often interchange it with The Body Shop. This is of course a careless mistake, however I see that their products are of different origin, perhaps because The Body shop products are more organic than that of …

First in the …

I am still using one of …

Packaging : 3/5
Black casing with FASIO embossed on the surface. See through plastic to show palette. A little cheap feeling and flimsy but I’ll survive.
Applicator provided : 1/5
Typical double-sided sponge applicator is provided. Coarse feeling that doesn’t really pick up the powder well or speads it well. Quite …

I am so glad Clarins came up with this ideal moisturiser for tropical climates. I have been combination skin with occassional breakouts when I am stressed. I find lotions to be not hydrating enough for the warm weather here in south east asia, and creams to be too …

It may not be the cheapest product on the market, at around $14, but I really wanted to try Garnier’s Skin Renew Anti-Puff eye-roller, to address my very puffy, dark morning eyes. It comes in a really cute bright green wand much like a mascara, with a metal …

I have tried both the Maybelline Superstay Lip Color and the Covergirl version and they are both pretty good. It claims to offer 16 hours of liquid color, unaffected by eating or drinking. Well, that may not be quite true, but it still does stay on pretty …
