Nelsons Pure and Clear Purifying Daily Facial Wash
Although I am officially —˜middle-aged’ I do like using a face wash a couple of times a week that is especially formulated to purify and clear the skin as I do still have a tendency to a few blemishes. Because I am older I do need such a …
Olay Total Effects for Face and Neck Night Firming Cream

I was not pretty aware of bath salts until I saw this body fusion bath salt at the racks and the attractive packaging and scent inspired me to buy this. Priced at an affordable cost, it did not feel like I did an unnecessary luxury at all. This bath …

Clinique Happy body lotion
A light, modern scent with a citrus-y and floral blend, Clinique Happy is one of my most favorite body lotions. It is aptly named ‘happy’, although in my opinion bestowing the name of ‘Energizing’ upon it would not be out of place either. Research studies have shown that citrus …
Clinique Super City Block 40 SPF face sunscreen
Summer is always here, and so is my quest for an ungreasy face sunscreen that will protect with a high enough SPF, but will not feel heavy on my face, and will also allow makeup to go on over top without streaking or coming off. Quite a tall order, and …
Revitol Cellulite Cream
Exericising and dieting don’t help me get rid of cellulite. This awful, estrogen hormone related beast forms merciless on my belly, thighs, buttock, hips and arms, despite my efforts and sacrifices.

I bought these nail polish remover pads from elf cosmetics for a dollar. I like to use them instead of the original nail polish remover. These pads are easy to use, smell great, and cheap. I also like the fact that they make my nails soft and shiny. I …
Urban Decay Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup
I love mineral makeup, it’s definitely better than liquid foundation. I’ve always had problems with liquid foundation, either it was to cakey, too heavy, too oily, etc but with every liquid foundation that I’ve tried just didn’t work well on my skin. I’m so happy that mineral makeup was …

Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention Cream
After trying just about every stretch mark prevention cream on the market, Revitol was going to be my last hope.

Smashbox High Definition Liquid Concealer
I am not blessed with flawless skin, I have blemishes and spots here and there. What I do to make up for it is to cover it up with a Concealer. What does a concealer do? To put it simply, it covers up or hides blemishes. I don’t usually …

I just discovered this shampoo two weeks ago, and I’d been in love with it ever since. It’s just so great on my hair, and it’s made by L’Oreal, too, a big cosmetics company that knows hair and skin very well.
Boy, was I glad I bought this from …
Fruit of the Earth-Skin Cooling Aloe Vera,Skin Care Lotion
I was pretty excited to see this bottle in the travel section. I had been looking for an aloe vera that came as a lotion. Although, it is not technically a travel size, since the bottle is 4 fluid ounces. I believe they would make me throw this out …
Ladies Choice deodorant
This is the worst deodorant I have ever tried. I bought it one time when I was out of deodorant and it was cheap. It was at the dollar store I think. I don’t like it all. It’s hard to get on your underarms, it doesn’t glide very well. …

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
The packaging which the bottle comes in is the simple black mac design. The foundaton itself comes in a clear glass bottle with a screw on black lid. You have to purchase a foundation pump seperately if you wish which i think is the downside to this product. With …
Veet Rasera Bladeless Kit

OPI Catch Me In Your Net Nail Polish
