I love MAC products and I picked up this product a few weeks ago to use as both a moisturizer and lip primer. There really is nothing major that I do not like about it. It does an excellent job of moisturizing my lips and leaving them …

Elucence Moisture Benefits shampoo is THE BEST shampoo I’ve ever used in all my years on the planet. Elucence is a salon hair care line geared towards people of African descent, and their products are very gentle and effective on my Type 4a hair (kinky, with small pencil-sized spiral …

More than six months ago I started to notice that I am starting to get crow’s feet at the corners of my eyes and I always have dark circles under my eyes as if I have not had enough sleep in a very long …

I have also tried the day cream version of this particular moisturizer from Guerlain. Since I have tested and it proved to me good, after my day moisturizer was consumed, I decided to buy the “day” version of this product. Whatever we use in the morning or whatever day …

The container is a clear tube with a silver cap where the triangular-shaped applicator is attached.

When I was still a kid, I remember seeing my aunt and my mom use Pond’s cold cream, they would apply it on their faces and I would laugh at the white stuff, of course not really knowing that it was used for. Years later, I now stick with …

This is an eye shadow (Sin is a light shimmery brown) and a primer all in one. The packaging promises that it’s long lasting and won’t crease. I was a little skeptical of the not creasing part because it’s creamy and my experience with most cream eye shadows tend …

I don’t normally use body wash but while I was working at Walgreens as a beauty advisor and stocking this area of the beauty department I got curious. Many of the body washes spelled lovely but one bran in particular got my attention with their scents, variety and packaging, …

These lip glosses are great! The consistency/texture is the best I have found. They are not too thin, nor too thick. They glide on the lips very smoothly and are not at all sticky or goopy like some lip glosses are. I love how long they last!! I applied …

A poorly applied makeup can overshadow even the best facial features. This is what I’ve learned from my makeup artist. This is correct. No matter how prominent your cheek bones are if the right color of blush on is not used nor the proper procedure of doing it then …

I always wondered how a shampoo could add ‘extra body’ to your hair and decided to conduct my own experiment by buying Finesse Extra Body Shampoo in a 300ml bottle for $2.99CDN at my local drug store. I have used Finesse Hair Mousse with great results, so I thought …

I will start out by saying I love this nailpolish!!!

When I take showers I’ve never been too particular about the soap I use. I’m always picking up something different and trying to see exactly what each one has to offer. I recently picked up the Silkience Bath and shower wash. I don’t really expect much from soaps, and …

I’m so glad I found these pads! I have sensitive skin and the chlorine in regular pads can cause irritation and itching, which is definitely not fun. Besides that, it could possibly even be unhealthy for my body. I’ve been wanting to buy some organic pads for a while …

Buying makeup has always been a difficult task for me. It’s twice the difficulty when it comes to powders, because not only do I have ultra-sensitive and acne-prone skin, I also have a skin tone that doesn’t go very well with the more frequently available face powders in the …

I am a huge nail polish fan and polish my nails very often, at least once a week at the very minimum.  So it is not a surprise that I also have a big nail polish collection. I also try to collect different colors and different shades in the …

Just the other day, during a visit to Ulta, I wandered upon the Benefit cosmetics section. I was extremely excited (I had only seen their products online), so I bought the Boi-ing concealer out of sheer joy. I settled with the lightest color, “1″, which turned out to be, …

I used to have a problem with pimples in my teens and I am in my twenties now but I still get the occasional pimple. If I do get a pimple I like to put a medicated product on it and then makeup over that. I have …

Here is another product that I have fallen completely in love with. The first thing that attracted me to this product was the color. I love mauve colored lipsticks or lip glosses. This product works so amazingly I could hardly believe it lasts as long as it does. The …

My father is 55 years old and about 7-8 years ago he started loosing his hair. He felt pretty bad about it so he started using all kind of different pretty expensive treatments to prevent the hair from falling but all the efforts were useless. So he kind a …

One of the finest decisions I’ve taken in my life is choosing this product. Many of my colleagues are attracted towards Axe after shave lotion. I had slight problem with the key ingredients used for Axe. They use ethanol and glycerin as main products for providing a refreshing face …

I am a coffee drinker. I drink about four cups a day and that has caused my teeth to become slightly yellow. I have been on the look out for a teeth whitening solution that’s affordable and budget-friendly, so a cousin of mine actually gifted with a box of Crest …

I’m a typical girl with very find hair that really has close to no volume at all. I am always trying to rememdy the situation by looking for products that can create the illusion of thicker, more volmptuous hair. One of these products was Pantene Pro-V’s Volumizing hairspray.
Now, …

How is it that I only recently discovered the Olive Body Scrub from The Body Shop? At the time, I thought it must have been a new product but apparently it’s been around for a while. Does this mean I have been walking past in the stores and skimming …

I try not to be so hard on my skin when it comes to cleansing. Water has been kind to my skin, and for a time I used to unscrupulously wash my face with plain water, just as I let water from the shower indiscriminately wash me all …

With Halloween right around the corner I was looking for a nail polish that would go good with my witch costume. I was at my local CVS when I saw Went and Wild Nail Polish in Night Prowler. It was a gorgeous deep black hue that had some purple …

I personally use quite a lot of M.A.C. cosmetics products because I have an impression that it’s very professional and they have a wide variety of colors for customers to choose from to cater for their different needs. Also, I am happy each time going to the M.A.C. …

Have you ever read negative reviews about a product but purchased it anyway? That’s exactly what I did with the Revlon PhotoReady Translucent Finisher. Now, you might be wondering, ‘What were you thinking?’ Well, I’m not entirely sure. For some reason, I’m assuming my positive experience using Revlon, including …

Normally I don’t use astringents because they sting my face leaving it red and shiny, other astringents irritate my eyes leaving them bloodshot, but Eskinol Naturals Orange Fresh Facial Cleanser is an exception.
It’s the only astringent that doesn’t sting my face! Using it leaves the same cold feeling …

I pre-ordered these contact lenses together with a dorm mate of mine. We were looking through the Facebook website and came upon the sellers by chance. My friend was the first one to say that we should order, and I agreed because they looked “natural” and not …

Everyone wants to have underarms they can be proud of. That is the very reason why I gave Nivea Pearl & Beauty Deodorant a try. I was amazed by their advertisement when I saw it while watching the television.
For the packaging, I believe that it is very effective as …

My skin tends to get extremely dry when I wear a lot of makeup or use harsh face washes. That’s why I probably spend the most money on my moisturizer. I’ve been told by makeup artists that the most important step before applying any makeup is to moisturize correctly. …

I was once told by my dermatologist how the eye area can be so light-reactive and is twice more prone to darkening than the rest of our skin. I valued what she said greatly, in fact, I would serve as a good example to illustrate what happens when …

I call this a kabuki brush. I don’t know why Benefit calls it a bronzing brush. I guess you can use it to apply bronzing powder to your face. It is really a multi-purpose brush. It can be used to apply blush to your cheeks, or you can use …

I recently purchased the L’Oreal Extend Beauty Tubes from Walgreen’s. I have used other “tubing” mascara products before in the past but they have typically been more high end brands so the cost is about triple what I paid for this L’Oreal product. I really wanted to see if …

I was gifted with this Body Shop lip balm one Christmas by an officemate. She was close to me and so I had no choice but to use because she kept asking about it. I was not disappointed though. It was also that time that I spent some time …

I have used Manic Panic Hair dye numerous times. I love the color that comes out of it. It is not dull like some temporary hair dyes…the colors are very vibrant and bright.
The Dye is very thick which makes it easy to apply and it …

I have tried several Avon beauty products and the majority of them are either a very big hit or a very big miss, and the Avon SuperShock Mascara was actually one of the very few products from Avon that has fallen somewhere in the middle. The mascara is …

I recently just got some of the Burt’s Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Body Lotion and I have to say I love it. The body lotion is truly soothing to my super dry skin and helps soothe the irritation right away. I love how this body lotion is …

I used to have a lot of breakouts a few months ago. I tried almost everything in the market to no avail, until I decided to randomly buy whatever was available in this health store I used to frequent one day. I saw this refining mask called Queen Helene …

I haven’t used many Suave hair care products but I have to say I was quite impressed with a purchase I made several months ago of Suave amplifying shampoo for fine or limp hair. I have very long curly hair of a fine texture. Often shampoos and then …

I am in love with pastel colors of all shades. Purples, blues, yellows, and greens. The China Glaze nail polish in Re-fresh Mint is the perfect mint green pastel color, and it looks gorgeous year round but especially in the spring time. It was from the Up and Away …

Finally the British beauty products from Boots via the Botanics line have arrived in Canada. I was absolutely thrilled to find Boots Botanics Hydrating Serum Capsules on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for only $12/CDN plus tax.

This Benefit Sugar Bomb Face Powder is really great and has become one of my favorite face powders to use. I’ve tried a lot of the face powders by benefit and most of them, with the exception of a few, I have gotten really good results from them so …

I have had so much skin damage from years of not wearing sunscreen in my youth that now, no matter how well I protect my face, the signs of the damage are quite visible on my face. I have a fair amount of brown spots that bother me a …

I am no friend of the cat eye. They either don’t match my eyes, or look messy, or just amateurish, so I end up practicing a lot, but messing up on some minor detail and getting angry! Why is a cat eye so hard? Well, now I find it …

My lashes aren’t that long and I have deep-set eyes which make it even worse. I’ve tried many kinds of mascaras before but its either I’m dissatistified with it not making my lashes look defined or that it gives too much volume (rather thick). But I got lucky one …
