Tom’s of Maine Long Lasting Natural Deodorant
I never used to put much faith in natural deodorants without aluminum, especially since I am a very active person and I sweat a lot. I work out all the time and just thought that deodorants that weren’t also antiperspirants would be awful and ineffective. My mom gave me …
Garnier Skin Naturals Pure A
I have a sensitive skin (by sensitive, i mean acne ;-) ). I’ve tried using Garnier Skin Naturals Light, it’s for brighten the skin tone. I did brighten my skin, but it couldn’t stop my acne problem. So i decided to stop using the Light product and started to …
John Friedda Shampoo
This shampoo is supposed to help with your hair being frizzy and help you to style your hair. I tried it just today. I do have to say that it doesn’t really lather up real good, I had to keep getting water to later it up on my hair. …
Hair Remover
I bought this along with another product from Sally Hansen because it was on sale. I am willing to try anything to lessen the appearance of a moustache in my face. I am cursed with some manly facial hair, not course but still visible. Now this product works, indeed …
Mary Kate Eye Color
I bought this product in Electric clor, which is a pretty bright blue. First, I must say the shades are really amazing. This product is coming in a tube that holds loose shadow and to the cap is attach the little sponge applicator. Take my advice and be very …
Ulta Stainless Skin Clearing Tool
I don’t know why I let my friends talk me into buying things that I’ve previously had bad experiences with, but she kept telling me that I didn’t have an experience, good or bad with the ULTA tool, so I should give it a try before dismissing it, especially …
BADgal Lash mascara by Benefit
I am well past my 20’s so (needless to say) I have tried a lot of mascaras in my lifetime. In my opinion nothing matches this mascara that I discovered at the Benefit counter of Macy’s department store just a few short months ago. I was blessed …
Mario Badescu Skin Care-Drying Cream
Mario Badescu Skin Care Drying Cream is advertised in their product brochure as being suitable for combination and oily skin. I have been using it daily for a couple of weeks now and really notice the difference it makes in calming and soothing my skin. Once it is on, …
Clinique Acne Solutions Night Treatment Gel
I bought Clinique Acne Solutions Night Treatment Gel for $27online, weighing 24 oz. Here is my review.

The Body Shop Olive Shower Gel
For the first time I will continue using one brand of shower gel and that shower gel is none other than The Body Shop Olive Shower Gel. I actually have bad experiences with shower gel. I tested three shower gels of different brands in the past. Those were …
Neutrogena Rainbath Shower Gel
As shower gel goes, Neutrogena’s Rainbath is a little on the pricey side but the 32-fluid-ounce bottle of golden brown gel is worth every cent. Sceptics will ask what Rainbath can do which other cheap soap can’t. The answer: Neutrogena Rainbath is so gentle on the skin that you …

I am pregnant, most of the beauty products are prohibited or if not, I could only use in a limited amount because as much as possible I do not want my baby to be exposed to chemicals. Then I discovered cyyleina soaps from a forum which are made from …
Burt’s Bees Hair Repair Shea and Grapefruit Deep Conditioner

Ulta Automatic Eyeliner in Chocolate
I am a pretty diehard liquid eyeliner fan, but I have been wanting to find something a bit softer to smudge into my eye makeup. Ulta’s automatic eyeliner seemed like a good step between liquid and pencil eyeliners since it promises to roll on smoothly and is much more …
Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Stress Control Toner
I used to have some severe blackheads which became black and small. They showed on the nose and chin. When I look from afar it would not be that obvious, but if you look pretty closely it is pretty apparent how dark and small they seemed. I did not …
Sephora Collection Stimulating Lavender Cuticle Oil Pen
I’m toying with yet another cuticle nail pen which I’ve been purposely dabbing on for a mere couple of days since I picked it up. I don’t have my self-help manicure kit with me because I left it back home. A once-over assessment on my nails this …
Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Gel Eyeliner

Dove Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

Visibly Even Moisturizer by Neutrogena

Jergens naturals daily moisturiser

Jordana Lip Liner Pencil
I hardly ever use lip lining pencils but I ran across one my mother uses and it matches my skin tone really well. The brand of this pencil is from Jordana, the same company I wrote about lipsticks.
I decided to start wearing it more often and I have …
Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightening Mascara
I decided to try out a different mascara (I typically use Benefit’s Bad Gal Lashes) last time I was at Ulta, and I picked up Smashbox’s Eye Brightening Mascara. While it’s a sufficient substitute if they don’t have Benefit in stock, it doesn’t quite fulfill my desire for long …

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF15
This is possibly the best oil-free moisturizer I have tried. Unlike some of Neutrogena’s other lotions that are targeted toward people with oily skin or acne, this one does not contain salicylic acid. I have always thought of Neutrogena’s products as being a bit overpriced for what they do, …
Skinfood Black Garlic Face Cream
Skinfood is one of those brands that are so hard to track down, so when I found this, I got it no matter the price. It does vary, since they don’t ship to where I live, so I had to go on Ebay to fight for it. Well I …
