Colours by Upper Canada Perfumed Body Mist
The day I bought it, I was wandering around The Bay department store in search of something that felt special. I was looking for some gift for my female friends and also something for myself. I was looking for some beauty product that was all about luxury, something that …

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color
I love, love, love Sally Hansen nail polish because it is the best kind I have tried and I have paid for really expensive manicures in the past. I usually take a bottle of nail polish with me when I go to the salon because they never have …
Avon Foot Works Deodorizing Foot Powder
I have to admit, I have really stinky feet! Yes, they are horrible and my fiancé begs me to try different powders and sprays to see if I get the lovely aroma under control. So, I try a lot of foot powders.
The Avon catalog was being passed …
Avon Slanted EyeShadow Brush
I have always used a bit of facial powder sparingly and always used lipsticks since I was a teen. I never felt like I needed to dress up my face any more than with those two particular cosmetics products, that is until special occasions and certain holidays came along.
I …
Equate Maximum-Care Whitening Toothpaste
Equate Maximum-Care Whitening Toothpaste, according to the manufacturer, “helps prevent cavities, freshen breath & whiten teeth by gently removing surface stains.” I have found the cleaning and breath-freshening qualities of this product quite satisfactory, and I also like its reasonable price and pleasant taste, but as to whitening, I …
Walgreens Kids Hair Detangler
I have to admit that my kids are teenagers now, and boys at that, and are free to do what they will with their own hair at this stage of the game, and that I bought this product solely for me! Yes, I actually used a kids de-tangler product …
Olay Natural White Bar
I started using Olay White Bar for a half a month now and so far the result is quite surprising. Any other whitening bar soap in the market is not as effective as Olay White Bar. Most whitening bar soaps can make your skin dry and you will need …
Revlon Luxurious Color Kohl Eyeliner
This was the first eyeliner I had. Apart from a curved lashes courtesy of your mascara, we can only achieve the perfect eyes with an eyeliner. It is a dual requirement. An eyeliner can also be an important makeup in order to accentuate the eyes. It can be applied …
Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler
I am not a fan of eyelash curlers. I am a self-confessed lady who uses mascara but never curls her lashes before doing so. For professional make-up artists, I know they would consider this a no-no. But I have been doing this for years now and I don’t see …
e.l.f. Plumping Lip Glaze, Champagne
I love trying new lip products, so when I found this plumping lip glaze, I couldn’t resist. My lips have thinned out over the years, and I would love to find a product that actually does plump them back out. I have seen and/or tried plumping products …
L’Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base Secret No. 1
I have to admit that I really didn’t understand what this product really was. I figured, based on the name of it, the L’Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base Secret No. 1, that it was a base or foundation but it’s not that at all. I just grabbed something …
Palmer’s Moisturizing Lip Balm
I live on the coast and spend much of my time outside, so my lips can get very dry in summer or sore and cracked in winter. I bought my first stick of Palmer’s cocoa butter formula lip balm last year and I have been using it throughout the …
Burt’s Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub
I did not have any unpleasant experience when I bought Burt’s Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub for $10 from a local personal store. I used it for a month. Let me give you my views here below.
Well, for one, it feels light enough on the pores because …
Pop Lid Bronzer
I love doing smokey eye looks for my eyes. Sometimes I do a dark smokey eye with blacks, grays and white as a highlighter and most of the time I do bronze smokey eyes with shimmery bronze eye shadow shades. This Pop Lid Bronzer gives a good selection of …
Rimmel Volume Booster Lip Color
I bought this lip gloss mainly because my other lipgloss had ran out and I was already at the grocery store so I thought I’d try it out.
Rimmel Volume Booster Lip color is a very nice gloss. It’s not sticky, but smooth and feels great. It actually has a …
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color
I purchased Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color on a recent trip to the downtown area of the city where I live for a day of shopping. Now my nails are not long, but I am trying to let them grow. My daughter polished my nails for me and …
Sephora Super Shimmer Lip Gloss- Hot Coral
The only reason I rated this so low was because it’s a case of “buyer beware”. From the picture they showed on their website, this appeared to be more of a red color, or at least a dark burgundy. Since I have dark hair with pale skin, I like …
Nivea Whitening Deodorant
I have been using Nivea deodorant for the past five years and I could say that it really does protect against body odor. In order to get extra benefits, I always purchase the variant that aside from giving odor protection also whitens the underarms. Dark underarms are a problem …
Hydroderm Fast Acting Wrinkle Reducer
For the first time ever, I am going to tell the world that a product that claims to reduce wrinkles actually seems to work. It is a bit of a long story, but Hydroderm Fast Acting Wrinkle Reducer seems to do the one thing that every anti-aging product claims …
Avon Skin So Soft Whitening and Firming Lotion
My whole family could attest to the efficacy of Avon Skin So Soft Whitening and Firming Lotion. Distributed by the Avon lady next door, this product has been introduced to me by my mom who used to smell so good after bathing. When I asked her what product she …
Maybelline EyeExpress Easy Lining Pen
This is perhaps one of the first Maybelline products I have not been burned by (thankfully not literally). Maybe they are starting to use some of their large advertising budget for product design.
I have had a rocky history with liquid eyeliners, probably more so than with any other cosmetic …
LOreal Double Extension Mascara
To find mascara which makes eye lashes longer is not easy. To find one which looks natural is even harder.
L’Oreal Double Extension gives this natural look I’ve been longing for. It wraps up almost each lash individually and stays on them throughout the day and even night. I went …
Porcelana skin lightening cream (night)
This brand, porcelana, sells two versions of their skin lightening cream. One is for daytime use, which contains sunscreen, and the other is for nighttime use. They recommend getting both, but i only got the nighttime one. This product contains 2% hydroquinone, which is harmful to the skin and …
Olay Body Ultra Moisture with Shea Butter Moisturizing Bar
I have tried different types of bathing soaps, from those that were meant to moisturize the skin to others that were meant to heal the skin but none of them seemed to be a perfect match for my dry skin and I would end with a dry and flaky …
Wen Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner
The Wen Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner is excellent hair conditioner for those who have extra rough hair. I was having many troubles with my hair. I used many shampoos and conditioners and spent a lot of money to manage my hair, but, I failed. These products damaged my …
Rosa Mosqueta viso cleaning gel Bttega Verde
I really like the products from Bottega Vedre. First of all because they are all natural and that’s why healthy and secondly because Bottega Verde usually has great discounts for their members even up to 80% and sometimes you can even buy new products for 1 euro only. And …
GILLETTE CUSTOM PLUS RAZORS
If you are like my family, you probably use disposable razors. We have for years. We just started using Gillete’s Custom Plus razors, and they really are different. These have the povoting head, to make all those curves and corners easier to do, smoothly. The ultra grip is …
Kiss Nail Artist Rhinestones
I’ve been trying to save money by no longer getting professional pedicures and doing them myself. I was at Walgreens picking up a prescription and found some nail art by Kiss that included white and pink rhinestones and flowers. They looked really cute and I thought I could make …
Caramel and Tobacco Beer Soap by The Beer Soap Company
I came across this soap in a gift shop in Chesapeake City, Maryland. It is a very unique soap, because it is made with beer! Unfortunately, there were a limited amount of choices to choose from in the shop. But if you go on The Beer Soap Company website, …
Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo
There is really nothing like the smell of Rosemary in a shampoo to make you feel like you’ve just rolled around in an herb garden… but it a good way! It’s always been one my person favorite scents, and I have pots of it resting on my window ledges …
MAC Paint Pot in Painterly
I have been buying this paint pot for a few years now and I have had numerous different uses for it. One of which being an eye shadow primer. If you swipe some on your eyelid before applying eye shadow, it will make make the eye shadow go on …
ASDA Hair Formulas Gloss & Shine Conditioner
I was looking for a good conditioner since I have noticed that staying in an air conditioned room for a day seems to dry up my hair. The quality of my hair seems to deteriorate as days passed by. While strolling down a grocery store’s beauty section, I noticed …
Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion
My new absolute favorite body lotion to use is the new Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion. I am in love with this body lotion because it has repaired my dry skin dramatically and has given it this amazing glow and soften that I have never gotten with …
Philosophy Cinnamon Buns Lip Shine
I recently discovered Philosophy products after receiving a gift basket of the products from my best friend. Since I already own a lot of lip products, it was a while before I was able to try this one. I was initially attracted to it because of the …
Josie Maran Argan Naturally Sun Kissed Bronzing Colletcion
The mascara in this makeup set is very good, it makes me look like I’m wearing false eyelashes, I really like it. It has about a medium sized brush and doesn’t get any clumps on my lashes, and they’re not even any clumps on the brush, the formula is …
Loreal’s Telescopic Mascara
I have just discovered Loreal’s Telescopic Mascara and I have to say it is the best mascara I have ever used. I find it separates my lashes and makes them appear longer and thicker and I am delighted. My eyelashes are not my best feature but Telescopic …
Maybelline Forever Strong Pro Nail Varnish in Silver Plum
I think this is the longest-lasting nail polish I have ever used and I will definitely be buying other colours in this range. From the Maybelline Forever Strong Pro range, this promises up to 7 days of chip-free nails and it really does last that long. I …

To create that cute gradient lip look inspired by asian make-up I use 4 things.
1 - A concealer
2 - a light lip shade
3 - a medium to dark lip shade
4 - a gloss (colorless or colorful)
I will guide you through the steps that I use to create my look.
It is …
Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Deep Cleansing Facial Pads
I think the reason I bought the Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Deep cleansing Facial Pads is because I was looking for something to replace the standard foaming facial wash that I’d been using. Not that the wash I was using was sub par on any level, it did …
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
I recently purchased the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer from Sephora. I got the smallest bottle (only 0.33 ounces) for like fifteen dollars. There is a larger bottle but I wanted to try out a smaller amount before really committing to this product. I have tried primers from NARS, Makeup …
Saving Face Facial Accelerator with CoQ-10
This is a facial tanning lotion designs for indoor tanning beds which I purchased from Desert Sun. It comes in a small 4 ounce bottle and is not cheap. I did not want to put a body lotion onto my face due to my skin being sensitive and wanting …
Frederic Fekkai Travel Faves —“ Brilliant Glossing

MAC Print Eye Shadow
This was one of the first eye shadows that I’ve tried by MAC. I’ve tried many lip glosses and lipsticks by MAC but not really any eye shadows. Just like my lips I also don’t wear my color on my eyes except dark shades like gray and black when …
Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Shave Cream
There were just a few brands which I have tried as shave cream. I used Anthony Logistics for the longest time. The common brand of Gillette is too commercial and does not have any nourishing benefits. It is typically the foamy type and irregularly causes skin imperfections. It did …
Fruttini Cranberry Chocolate Body Butter
I first purchased a much smaller package of this body butter because I thought it looked cute. It was one of those little things I picked up along the way to the cash register that I didn’t plan on buying on a particular shopping trip. I grabbed it because …
Gillette for Women Satin Care Shaving Gel
Gillette for Women Satin care Shaving Gel is a rich shaving gel which has aloe vera incorporated into the mixture. Aloe vera, as we all know is great for dry skin and leaves the skin with a small glow so this is a wonderful additive to a shaving gel …
IColor Focus Eyeshadow Pen in Frosty Blue
This is one of my favorite eyeshadow pens, I don’t really use eyeshadow pens because they are much more difficult to control than dusty eyeshadow palettes, which can be easily controlled by your eye brush, but this is too pretty a color and I can’t resist not buying it, …
Secret Spring Breeze Invisible Solid Antiperspirant Deodorant
I generally try to switch my deodorants around a bit, because I’ve got this fear that my body will eventually get used to it if I keep using only one particular brand and type. There’s that and the fact that I just love trying new things sometimes. That’s why I …
