Sally Hansen No-Heat Gel Wax Strips #5003

The other strips of theirs that I tried had yellow wax inside them and worked great, especially on my upper lip. …

I am always on the hunt for a new and better mascara because instead of being blessed with long, thick eyelashes, it is my fate to have short, sparse lashes that are not getting better as I grow older. I saw Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara when Oprah …
Cover Girl Fantastic Lash Mascara
I have been buying Cover Girl cosmetics for years, but it is not often I have actually purchased their mascara; when Fantastic Lash Mascara came on sale for $6.99CDN I decided to try it. One of the reasons for my decision is that Cover Girl is one of the …

I have tried a few of the Olay products and have fallen in love with each and every one of them. I figured that if I loved the body washes and soaps, I would probably like the lotion as well. My skin gets awfully dry, so it is important …
Skin Food Potiron au Lait Eye Cream

Revlon DoubleTwist Mascara

Kiehl’s Leave On Hair Conditioner

MAC Bronzer in Refined Golden
The perfect bronzer! Great for that sun-kissed look and very nice for contouring as well. Bough these for AUS$39 in store (was part of my eyebrow-shaping redeemable product) and I love it! I am quite pale and before knowing this product, I only wear foundation and concealer on my …

There are so many shampoos and hair care products on the market that it is difficult to know which one you should use. For guys, the choices are somewhat easier, since we typically don’t have to deal with many of the treatments and harsh processes that the ladies …
Shea Butter Body Lotion by Crema
Overall I think it is a good product that I will be purchasing again, however, it will never make it to my top 10 body lotion list. I have been using it for almost 2 years now and I consider it to be a very dependable product. Sometimes I …

Nivea Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs
I saw a commercial a few weeks ago for something called Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs, a lotion from Nivea, which claimed to give your legs a natural looking tan, while minimizing the need to shave so often. Well, I detest self-tanners to begin with, as they always become yellow when I …

DiorSnow Sublimisse UV Ultimate Whitening Base SPF 50 in Translucent
I wasn’t close to believing this makeup base was the best primer/sunscreen in town. I didn’t bite on the craze right away because I simply owned plenty of primers already. I thought it’s just one of those self-indulgent cosmetics sold at exorbitant prices. Until came one …
L’Oreal Ever Pure Sulfate Free Smoothing Shampoo
L’Oreal Ever Pure Sulfate Free Smoothing Shampoo has everything going for it but fails to live up to its promises. I was originally attracted to this product because of the sulfate free nature of the range. I was anxious to get away from chemical laden hair products, …

Colgate Total Toothpaste

Wella Color Preserve Repairing Conditioner

Hard Candy Take Me Out Colored Liners (24K and Camo)
I have had a bad history of eyeliners in the past, especially colored ones. The drugstore seems to cover an endless arrangement of good-quality browns and blacks, but when it comes to colored eyeliners they always seem to be dull and quickly-fading. At last I decided to go with …
NARS Easy Lover Lipgloss
I love experimentation with my colors, and NARS is a great brand that is readily available. I picked up Easy Lover because it’s such a vibrant fuchsia color that screamed to me from the shelves. So I paid $24 for this lip gloss, which is a bit much, but …

A dual-fibre brush or …
Caress Fine Fragrance Elixir Body wash: Passionate Spell

Bath and Body Works Liplicious Gloss in Pomme Cider
I adore this lip gloss. I want to say that I think they have improved their formula with their Liplicious glosses. They seem more pigmented and less glittery. Or at least maybe the glitter is more finely milled? Anyway, I had tried these at one point a few years …
Victoria’s Secret Naughty Little Me Blushing Stick
I am a big fan of blush make-up. I never leave home without that right amount of flush in the cheeks which makes me look young and fresh. However, I prefer natural looking blush and not that overrated red cheek look.
I have tried a lot of blushes before but I …
Bath and Body Works Orange Ginger Lotion

The orange ginger is supposed to be energizing. I …
Sally Hansen Foot Soak
The Sally Hansen Foot soak is one of the ugliest, horrible purchases I have made thus far, I mean really I’m not sure who though this was a good idea but I rather go to the nail shop to get my feet soaked instead of buying this stuff I really …
