Jamila Henna Powder

Pure Refined Emu Oil
“Advance Pure Refined Emu Oil by Longview Farms” - I bought this product on the Internet because they claimed that using it regularly on the scalp would promote hair growth and arrest hair fall.
For me it promoted hair fall! The hair stuck together - because the oil is …
Laura Mercier Liquid Eyeliner
I have to be honest. I do not really like liquid eyeliner. It is not only extremely messy but it is also very hard to apply. If applied in the wrong way, it can irritate the eyes and get all over the place. I much prefer pencil eyeliner or …

Removing facial hair is not a subject many of us wish to actually speak of, even though many of us have to deal with this issue in some respect. I am lucky enough not to be hairy enough to require highly expensive, salon procedures; however, I have some occasional …
Pixi All Over Magic Radiance Power
The Pixi All Over Magic Radiance Power gets a 5 out of 10 in my opinion. This is one of those products that I ended up disliking because I did not do my research in advance. Unfortunately, I got suckered in by the cute packaging and ultimately ended up …
