Sally Hansen 25 Hour Lip Treatment
My lips are always an issue in the winter, because they get dry, cracked, sore and chapped. I have used Chap Stick and Blistex for years, and it does seem to help moisturize my lips a bit, but when they are cracking and sore, they don’t really solve those …
Wet n Wild MegaLiner Liquid Eyeliner
Before I tried this brand, I had been using Jane Endless Eyes liquid eyeliner in a metallic charcoal color. I wanted to try a new brand of eye liner, as the drug store I had been buying my eye liner from stopped carrying Jane eyeliners and the only other …
Dove Hairspray Flexible Hold
What it claims: This product is said that it conditions your hair while you style it, weightless, does not leave your hair stiff or sticky, leaves your hair feeling soft and flexible, and the hairspray dries quickly.
My experience: The only time I use hairspray is when I wear my …
Lancome Translucence Pressed Powder in Bisque
I don’t use pressed powder every day, but when I do it’s Lancome’s Translucence Pressed Powder in the Bisque shade that I choose. Costing $29 it’s not the cheapest available, but the flawless finish it gives my skin is amazing and easily the best in comparison to other similarly …
Ombra Spa Aromatic Body Wash
I had never bought an Ombra product before, but I am certainly glad I bought their Spa Aromatic Body Wash with Hops & Bergamot. I had been looking for a new body wash and I was tired of all the advertising hype, my Cosmetician recommended this product as a …
White Rain Cherry Blossom Shampoo Enriched with Orange Oil

Wet N Wild Megaplump Mascara
I am not generally a big fan of Wet N Wild products. To me, they are just not as good of quality as the other drugstore brands that I commonly buy. Occasionally, though, I will try a Wet N Wild product to see what I think of it because …
Pond’s Whitening Pearl Cream
The Ponds Whitening Pearl Cream was introduced to me by my officemate. I was looking for a cheaper cream which I could use as foundation before applying loose powder and she recommended this Ponds Whitening Pearl Cream. I was actually using a sun block with foundation of Dermaline then …
Biore Pore Minimizing Refining Exfoliator
I didn’t have much faith that Biore Pore Minimizing Refining Exfoliator would reduce the appearance of some of my facial pores. Recently, due to having the flu, I experienced an outbreak of adult acne and blackheads, and although the acne had cleared up, I was left with some blackheads …
Aveda Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser
Whenever I suffer from acne, I use Aveda Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser because I used it before when I bought it in the market. It was available for $10. Since then I would use it if I have acne, and nothing else.
Aveda Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser is a scrub …
Wet ‘n’ Wild Megalast Nail Polish
Nail polish seems simple enough. The selection is always plentiful, the prices vary so much that anyone can find something that fits their price range, and really, there are enough colors for anyone’s rainbow. However, there is actually quite a bit of thought that goes into the purchase of …
Loreal Ammonia Free Hair Color
I color my own hair about 4 or 5 times a year and the other times I go into a hair salon. The main issue I have with hair color, especially the brands that are available at drug stores as well as at grocery stores, is the horrible and …
Smooth E Baby Face Scrub
I really liked the Baby Face Foam so I decided to try the Baby Face Scrub. I had to ask my friend in Thailand again to get this for me because I’m that stingy that I don’t want to pay ebay’s price for it. For those who …
L’Oreal Revitalift Total Repair Day Cream
Three months ago I bought this day cream on a local supermarket. At the time I was not aiming for this specific one but it has a lot of functions when compared to the others. Besides, it only cost me $15 which I think is unbelievable affordable and one …
Noxzema Long Lasting Microbead Cleanser
I hadn’t used a Noxzema product in a long time until I came across Noxzema Long Lasting Microbead Cleanser at my local drug store. I had only ever seen Noxzema skin cream so this 177ml pop top tube was something entirely different. My local Cosmetician said that this particular …
Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Oil
I recently purchased the Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Oil. I ordered it online from the Weleda website for twenty five dollars plus the shipping and handling. I sought this particular product out because I have a friend that has been using it for years and absolutely swears by it. …
Old Spice Pacific Surge Deodorant
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 …
Avon Skin So Soft Hair Removal Cream

Alberto V05 2 in 1 shampoo for normal hair
When it comes to hair care, in the means of shampooing and I come to trust the brand Alberto V05. I enjoy using their selection of products, knowing that I’m getting good quality for a good price. A majority of the time you can find V05 haircare products priced …
Olay body wash + lotion ribbons with aloe
I had been waiting to try the new Olay ribbons bodywash for awhile. I had found the price prohibitive at $7.99CDN, so I waited until I caught a sale. I purchased Olay Body, body wash+lotion ribbons with aloe extract for $4.49CDN.
This Olay body wash, is part of the new …
Wet n Wild eyeshadow in Naked (252)
My favorite eye looks are neutral everyday looks that aren’t too dramatic or over the top because I tend to like “my face but better” looks, not bright blue or rainbow eyeshadow. I usually only use beige, brown, champagne, and bronze eyeshadows daily; the rest of my more colorful …
MAC Warm & Cozy Lipglasses
So I’ve never really been a big fan of MAC. Sorry to say, but their products don’t interest me as much as they do other beautiful ladies. Usually, I just like their lipglasses and mascaras, and that’s pretty much it. They do have a nice formula with their lipglasses, …
Vaseline Hand And Nail Conditioning Lotion
I am fond of foot spa since I play football a lot. I always look forward to a good foot massage and I always love the experience when dirt and dead skin cells are slough away from my feet. It gives me bliss brought by the relaxation provided. I started …
Fanny Serrano brand Concealer Stick (Sand)

It comes in a black container. …
Cover Girl Outlast Lipcolor
I’m normally a lip balm junkie. Lipstick frankly just annoyed me, since it never lasted long and got all over my cups. It didn’t seem worth the hassle. I work in a school cafeteria, and it’s a busy job. Lip color would have to be …
Redken Color Extend Shampoo
This is my first product of the Redken line that I have ever tried, and I am so amazed at how much of a difference I can see in simply the formulation of the product in one use. I love the fact that this shampoo lathers so much, and …
Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick
I purchased this product mainly because I needed something handy and compact for travel. I also hoped the foundation would help cut off my time in the morning. I always thought I would easily like this product: it looked good in the store and I like the idea & …
MAC Paint Eye Shadow, Sublime Nature
I don’t know about you other makeup wearers out there, but I was under the impression that eye shadows came in pressed powders. But I came across something new and exciting when I discovered MAC Paints. What this product is that it’s a liquid cosmetic for the …
San-San Concealer
I was on a hurry to find a concealer for me when I purchased this San-San concealer. It was the cheapest in the set of concealers there. It’s just in a solid stick form. It’s very convenient to use. I use it everyday. It makes my skin look smoother …

MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Springsheen
Alot of the makeup chatter say that Springsheen is almost similar to Peachykeen and if you were to get one , there is really no need to get the other. In my opinion, these two are really quite different in how they look when applied on my skin

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink Nail Polish
I saw this nail polish while I was browsing for cosmetics at a drug store in NYC, and let me tell you, the second my eye caught it I knew it had to be mine! Now I don’t usually purchase nail polishes from drug stores, because some of them …
Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara
In theory this could have been a good mascara. The idea here was that you could customize the look of your lashes with the choice of two looks in one mascara. It did not work for me. This product was fun to try , but a bit of a …
Texas Lash Mascara
Texas lash mascara is only sold at sephora I think, or maybe it is Ulta, I can’t remember exactly which it was, but it was one of those stores. I really thought that this would be a great purchase, because it had the highest rating of all the other …
Charmee Feminine Wipes
Charmee already had a product they were proud of — feminine wipes that are soft, pH balanced, alcohol-free, antibacterial and hypoallergenic. With these attributes, nothing can ever equal this productt for me. And I’m happy that the company teamed up with leading Ob-Gyne in the country to …
Gillette Odor Shield All Day Clean Body Wash
I have no honest idea why on earth I buy so many body washes. We like to have one in the shower and I guess I get bored a lot and buy a new one. I think I may just buy whatever they have on …
Origins “Knot Free” Shampoo
I’ve often wondered how “nourishing” or “moisturizing” or “rejuvenating” hair shampoo really is; I find the only noticeable difference from one to another is the scent and environmental friendliness.
When I tried Origins “Knot Free” shampoo and its coordinating finishing rinse, however, I definitely felt my hair to be much, …
CVS Brand Nectarine & White Ginger Refreshing Body Wash
I am not usually one for using body washes, mostly because I have a sensitive nose and don’t like super strong smells. They tend to give me headaches and make me sneeze a lot, not because I am allergic, but because my nose can’t deal with the mass amounts …
Clarins Eye Contour Balm
I bought the Clarins Eye Contour Balm when buying the Clarins Eye Contour Gel. At the time, I was using other Clarins products and was looking for specialized eye treatments to complement the mainstream creams and lotions for the face.

Napoleon Perdis Sheer Genius Foundation

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Lightening Peel-Off Mask
I am such a sucker for face masks and packs. During one of my regular mask hunting, I came across Garnier Skin Naturals Light Lightening Peel-off Mask. I bought the 2 by 6 ml pack which is really cheap and is good for at least 2 uses just so …
Wella Silvikrin Shiny Hold Hairspray
I liked the idea of a hairspray that not only holds my style but also gives the shine a boost so I tried out the Silvikrin Shiny Hold Hairspray by Wella. This cost me about £2.79 for 250ml can which was not bad. It claims to hold …
Secret Deodorant
Secret is my favorite band of deodorant and probably always will be. It’s the only one that my mother ever buys and uses. It works really well, it goes on clear and it smells good. The price isn’t too bad either, it’s not expensive. Whenever I use it I …
Evian Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray
Everyone knows Evian brand as the French brand of natural mineral water, but not everybody knows that they actually have some skincare based on that water. Well, it’s not really the skincare, but more of an aid or a “supplement” to help your skin get through the summer, if that …
E.L.F. Studio Matte Lip Color in Coral
I adore matte stains on lips. Regardless how unstable a matte lipstick is, I’m seduced by its rustic, dusty appeal. Another elf lip product that got me spending the second time (price was forgivable) was the Studio Matte lip color. Outside, the weather’s getting warmer, so …
The Body Shop Lip Treatment
The Body Shop Hi-Shine Lip Treatment is something that makes lips look shiny, wet and nicely tinted. You may choose out of 16 colors. The Hi-Shine Lip Treatment also moisturizes lips intensely, but leaves them really sticky. If you go out in windy weather, make sure to keep your …
Gatsby Oil Control Clay Wash Scrub
My wife and I had grocery last week and we got a free item from the grocery shop - Gatsby Oil Control Clay Wash Scrub. The size is only 15g, not bad for a free item. The product claims to eliminate oil as it gives smooth and …
