The Max Factor Silk Gloss range is attractive, …
Smashbox Masquerade Baked Fusion Soft Light Palette

Maybelline Colorama Nail Polish
One of my favourite nail polishes has to be Maybelline Colorama, it comes in a fantastic assortment of bright and beautiful colours and if you cannot find a colour that you like in all the colours there are to choose from then I will eat my hat, if I …
Rosal, LipBalm, Shine
The other day I bought two lip balms, both pink. Why? I forgot I bought one in the morning so I bought one in the evening two. The thing is that I ran out of all lip balms I had, and I had quite a lot of them, but …

Revlon ColorStay Soft and Smooth Lipcolor Raspberry Mousse
Ladies, this will be the last lipstick that you will ever buy. I love this lipstick because it is so smooth and creamy. It feels like silk on my lips and I am very picky when it comes to lipstick. It is very hard for me to find a …
Fruits and Passion Tahitian Monoi Nourishing Milk

Desir de Nature bath-shower gel by Yves Rocher
I love Yves Rocher products, as I have found their creams and bathing products to be both reasonably priced and of extremely high quality.

MaxFactor Lipfinity 3D Maxwear Lipcolor
The method on how to apply lipstick is an art. Only those who are well-experience can master this but those who are not just stick to plain traditional way of doing it. Now, does that matter if you are a newbie or a veteran in applying lipstick? Of course …

Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo
Neutrogena shampoo has been in my bathroom for as long as I can remember. It’s always been the “anti residue” shampoo too. It has been reliable over the years, not failing once.
It comes in either a small 350mL bottle for about $6, or a large bottle that is 946mL …

Celeteque 3 in 1 Facial Pack
I bought this facial pack in Watson last week for $3 and I must say it improved my skin dramatically. Though it didn’t get rid of my pimple scar it helped stop my breakouts and for the past few days I didn’t have a pimple in my face.
Its just …
MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul
I personally think that blush and bronze are like oil and water. I want blushing cheeks, but also like contoured definition. Only contouring blush can accomplish both. I find it hard to blend blushes with bronzers. MAC merges my passions for natural, glowing skin and …
Kinesys Sunscreen
I was intrigued by Kinesys Sunscreen when I saw it online. It was in a somewhat different form, but it was in a tube, nonetheless. It weighed around 4 oz, and was actually around $10. I like it because it actually did feel pretty light, and though the brand …
Mistral Travel Soap, Melon Pear
Do not purchase this soap thinking that it will smell like melon or pears! There is a faint trace of a smell that could be considered a blend of melon pear, but it is a lot weaker than I expected it to be. Another thing that I did not …
Zoya Anastasia
I love Zoya and all things related to them. It’s one of those brands that you can’t go wrong with, because it has an excellent reputation which is proven again and again every time I purchase Zoya polish. Whenever I buy Zoya polish, I don’t worry about the quality, …

John Mills Limited ProCeramic Straighteners
I have natural wavy hair. Well, to say it like that sounds simple.But I guess it is an understatement since my hair is nothing but hard to manage. Besides the fact that it is wavy, my hair is dry most especially in the hotter season. So it was …
H2O plus Sea Salt Foaming Body Polish
I can’t say as I’ve ever tried anything coined a body polish before, but I was ready and willing when I found this H20 plus Sea Salt Foaming Body Polish at the nearest department store. It was a bit more expensive than I’d generally indulge in for a bath …
Wet n Wild Bronzer
I don’t normally wear bronzer, even in the summer or when my face is really pale, because I don’t think I look good tan. I definitely prefer blush over bronzer because I love that nice flushed look that says “I’ve just been out playing in the cold”. However, I …
L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara
This is one of my favorite mascaras however it wasn’t always like that. When I first got it and I used it, I hated it. It came out clumpy and it didn’t make my lashes any longer, it gave me volume but not length or fullness. It also took …

Revlon Hot Facial Sauna

Lancome Natural Matte Long Lasting Star Bronzer

Shulammite Carrot Soap
I have always been in search of soaps that would, lighten my dark spots if not whiten my skin. I got curious with this soap because I read a lot of consistent good reviews from different bloggers and on online forums.

Springmaid Comb
Things can be small, affordable and durable, at the same time. This belief, I adhere to, is supported by many products I’ve tried, including Springmaid Comb. I have a fine hair, thus I always look for comb with a prong close to each other. The number of comb I’ve …
FLiRT line lipgloss

Burt’s Bees Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil
If you’re like me, bath time is ‘Me-Time’, where no phone exists, you are a goddess bathing in the crystal streams of Nirvana, and the house had better be on fire should anyone dare knock on that bathroom door.
Naturally, when in such a luxurious state of mind, you should also …
EO Detangler Spray French Lavender
I’ll be the first to admit that the reason I bought this detangler spray was because it had a lavender scent and that’s pretty much my favorite scent of all time because it’s the only one that doesn’t send me into a sneezing or asthmatic tizzy whenever I smell …
Bare Minerals Blemish Therapy
I’ve suffered with acne since I was 12 years old. I went through so many products in hope that they would clear up my acne….nothing worked. In fact, my acne seemed to only get worse. It came to the point where I burned my face from using …
