NARS Orgasm / Laguna Blush & Bronzer Duo
I purchased the NARS Orgasm/ Laguna bronzer and blush duo at Sephora for $39. The price initially seems somewhat high, but after using this product I believe it to be well worth the price. First of all, the packaging of this product is exquisite. It comes in an adorable compact …
Curel Targeted Therapy Fast-Absorbing Hand & Cuticle Cream
I have long searched for a good product that would help to treat cuticles. There are tons of hand lotions out there, but they usually only work on the skin and not specifically cuticles. When I saw Curel’s Hand & Cuticle Cream, I was immediately interested. The product is …
Q-Tips Cotton Swabs
While many people cannot find as many uses as I for cotton swabs, I think that they can be essential to each home. I used to think that all cotton swabs were the same, but recently found out that they are much different and can actually have quality issues as …
Prime and Glow Kit from Victoria’s Secret
I love anything and everything that is Victoria’s Secret, I simply love their products and VS continues to be one of my favorite brands. Admittedly my first makeup product from them had been a sample sized tube of there VS Very Sexy Mascara and I didn’t like it all …
Urban Decay Naked Palette with Brush
This is one of my absolute favorite makeup palettes, and I use it with almost every eyeshadow look. At about $50, the price may seem a bit steep, but it is a must-have in any makeup fanatic’s makeup collection.
Although the term “naked” may conjure up images of a very …
Sinful Colors Professional Nail Enamel, Color #369 Ruby Ruby
I bought this color thinking it was going to be a true opaque red, and I actually wasn’t sure I was going to like it.
I found that the color is actually pinker than I thought. Very different from the intense deep red it looks like in the bottle. …
Avon Care Repairing Lip balm
I bought this as part of a special offer pack recently. I do like to stock up on things when they are on special offer. It wasn’t this that I was wanting to buy, but 2 of the things in the pack was things I was needing at the …
Samy Big Curls Curl Defining Creme
Being in a different environment than what I am used to, my hair really went crazy and was a huge frizzy mess. I don’t usually need any frizz free cream or curl defining anything because my hair is generally well behaved in general so I was at a …
Neutrogena Healthy Skin face lotion
I tend to get a little dull skin and adult acne, and a Cosmetician suggested I purchase Neutrogena Healthy Skin face lotion in SPF 15, to use as my daytime facial moisturiser. I could not believe all the things this moisturiser boasted of doing on the packaging, but at …
Too Faced Lock Down Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow Set
This Too Faced Lock Down Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow set comes with the cream eye shadow shades in I’m Guilty and Jail Bait. I don’t necessarily like a lot of cream eye shadows because I don’t get great results most of the time, there’s only been a few …
Nexxus Headress Leave In Conditioner
The first thing I would like to say was when I heard about this product, I did not expect it to be in a spray bottle. This was the first time that I had ever seen a leave-in conditioner come in a spray bottle, and I was kind …
Dial Mountain Fresh Antibacterial Body Wash with Moisturizers
I love using body wash when I shower. I do not usually like using bar soap because it does not last as long. I usually use the inexpensive body washes but decided to spend a little more on something that will really nourish my skin. I also wanted something …
Bloom Lip Gloss in Girlie
The Product
Girlie shade is sort of a petal-blush pink color with lots of micro shimmers.
The container is a round, cylindrical plastic tube with a black cap where the doe-foot applicator is attached. This is also stored inside a pink, slim, rectangular box.
This has a hint of sweet scent but …
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
I had always used a liquid make-up remover in a bottle to remove my make-up until one day a Clinique sales person recommended Clinique’s Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. I am glad that she did so. The balm comes in a jar, and the texture and appearance of …

Jergens Anti Aging Lotion
This was the lotion that I used before switching to another brand that has sunscreen. This lotion from Jergens doesn’t have sun protection which I badly needed according to my sister. Although I love basking in the sun, I don’t like that this lotion doesn’t protect me from harmful …

I constantly wear nail polish every day of the week, so I always make sure to have a good quality bottle of nail polish remover nearby for when I need to take it off and re-do it once they get chipped or messy looking. Over the years, …
Avon Mascara
It is a more than convenient thing when you are working in an office environment and have a “building Avon representative.” These women are employees, essentially, of a local (or non-local, I believe you do not need to live near an Avon to be a sales associate anymore! …
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist “Deeeeep” Conditioner

My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yogurt mask
I bought this mask out of curiosity as it was my first time trying on a sheet mask and I heard really good things about this brand of sheet masks and their effectiveness. The entire package comes written in Chinese only so being unable to read Chinese, I had …
Sally Hansen Nail Polish in Champagne Toast
I absolutely adore this nail polish in the color Champagne Toast! I usually don’t buy really light nail polishes because they never show up on my nails, but somehow I guess I wanted to try a lighter pink color out, so I decided to buy the Sally Hansen Diamond …
Amazing Cosmetics Velvet Mineral Powder Foundation
I recently purchased the Amazing Cosmetics Velvet Mineral Powder Foundation from Sephora. It is a powder foundation that comes in a little pot with one of those sifters that you shake the product out through. It contains 0.30 ounces of product and costs a little over thirty dollars. I …

Human Heart Nature Natural Mositurizing Conditioner

Then, …
Avon Shimmer Eyes Shadow Stick
I think the name probably says it all…Shimmer Eyes Shadow Stick by Avon of course. I first encountered Avon’s Shimmer Eyes Shadow Stick in one of the catalogs that my local representatives usually gave me and my co-workers to look at. This product was on sale and they had …
Olay Body Lotion Plus Sunless Tanner

Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Concealer
I’ve always fantasized for a pimple eraser that’s good to-go and will completely hide all those unsightly acne flare-ups. I’ve always thought my arsenal of cover-ups were adequate enough, but I haven’t really found the multi-tasker, the one that’s capable to mask out basically whatever kinds of flaws especially …
Suave Professionals Styling Foam

Lancome Renergie Night Treatment Eye Cream

Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum
I am the type of woman who does not like having to spend a lot of money on haircare products. I always heard a lot of positive things about Organix haircare products, but I never really tried them because they cost more than the products that I usually …
Braun Series 7- 790cc Pulsonic Shaver
This electric shaver is a pretty good one. With this shaver, I experienced very minimal painful pinching and as a result less red marks underneath my chin. Those would really hurt when I would get them with previous shavers and I usually felt like throwing the shaver against the …
The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil - Rose Absolute
I’ve tried a couple other Art of Shaving products from Sephora, and have absolutely loved them, and you’ll hear all about them in these reviews I’m sure. I’ve had hit and misses with Sephora products in the past, but the Art of Shaving line is really one of my …

Kanebo Freshel White C Cleansing Cream

L’Oreal Paris thickening shampoo for men
I love L’Oreal cosmetics and facial care products, and a couple of weeks ago I paid $4.99CDN for a 385ml bottle of L’Oreal Paris thickening shampoo for men. I actually didn’t notice that this shampoo is marketed to men when I bought it at my local drug store. I …
