Veet is the next generation of hair removal creams, developed from their sister company Neet. I have tried several different hair cream removers, and while I have generally found that they do indeed get rid of unwanted hair, they usually smell so terrible they make my eyes run! This …

I wanted to try something new, so from being a Chapstick addict I tried to switch to Blistex, just to see what the raves are all about. I think Blistex has a lot of products in its line of lip protectors, so I might as well try one.
I bought …

I wouldn’t necessarily say that I have sensitive skin, but my skin is problematic in a couple different ways. I have very dry skin, especially now that the weather is starting to turn a bit and get cooler and drier, and this usually means that over the next couple …

These Elegant Touch Nail Polish Remover Pads are a particularly convenient product if you are going away as, instead of taking a separate nail polish remover and cotton wool with you, these pads are drenched in polish remover and sealed in a little, convenient pot. I bought mine …

Normally, I would have never considered purchasing a foundation this expensive ($40). However, I had a formal ball that my boyfriend and I was going to, and I needed a product that would provide enough coverage for me to camouflage a few stretch marks and blemishes on my …

I just purchased the L’Oreal HIP Bright Shadow Duo, and I found myself really liking the product! The colors are a shimmery golden yellow and a matte medium purple. They are both nicely textured and easily buildable. I like using them together and even alone.
Generally, I use the yellow …

The Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder gets a rating of 8 out of 10 in my opinion. For the first week that I was trying this product out, I hated it so much because I thought that it was too cakey and heavy. That was when I was using …

My underarms get very sweaty, so I used to favor underarm products that were labelled “extra-strong” or “for excessive sweating” to assure myself that my armpits will stay dry and odor-free. However, perhaps due to an increase in stress in my day-to-day routine, I have noticed that even extra-strong …

I really like line Skin White line of products by Splash Corporation. The facial wash and moisturizer were really good; it evened out my skin tone, and brought out a glow in my face. For the first time, I patronized a product, which was a new experience for me, …

This is a …

Today, I will be reviewing about my experiences with Celeteque’s Facial Moisturizer.

I have a relative who is a Mary Kay consultant, and I was looking through her catalogs one day when I noticed the Velocity skincare line. I have tried the Timewise skincare, and it didn’t really do the job for me, so I decided to try out the Velocity …

I love feeling clean, and moisturized. I enjoy a pretty scent too.
Finding a product with that combination can be difficult. I am the one that goes through the store, and smells every bath product, and reads all of the ingredients. I am one that shops for a bargain …

Maybelline Wonder Curl Washable Mascara is far from being a wonder, and there is no promised curl. It IS washable, all right.
The packaging is nice, and the curved brush makes this mascara easy to apply, but the problem is that it just doesn’t work. It won’t stay on very …

I love to shop for itsy-bitsy products from Daiso. It is the S$2.00 Japanese retail shop located at many shopping malls here in Singapore. Although I have many times seen skin care and cosmetic products at these stores I never really bothered to try them simply because …

When I bought Thayers Witch Hazel Pads for around $10 from a reseller, I thought it was going to be just like all other cleansing pads. But I was wrong. It was pretty impressive because it really helped me get rid of the acne-causing bacteria without causing a lot …

Sometimes I like my eyelashes to look longer than they already are, but I don’t like fake eyelashes, so a friend recommended me to use L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara.
I was positively surprised with the results the first time I tried it. They really looked longer than they are. Also, the …

Lips being one of the most important parts of the face are very attractive and flirty in nature but if properly maintained. If lips are not maintained well they look quite awkward. It is awkward to a sense that not only others but you yourself even don’t like it. …

I was able to fiddle with this beautiful Chanel nail polish for a newspaper write-up. I have kept my nails free of lacquered vanities for many days now. I’m too busy to be minding my nails. If there’s one irresistible thing that could possibly send back …

I was looking for a great face wash, so I walked into CVS and grabbed the face wash that was on sale. I figured that they were all the same and that it didn’t matter which one I used. They were all made to wash my face, …

I am very fond of lip glosses but only a few has passed my finicky taste. I bought a beauty rush lip gloss from Victoria’s secret once but I did not like its tacky feel. However, with the launch of their new beauty rush lip gloss line which features minty …

Every girl wants big hair, or at least, every girl claims that she wants big hair. In reality, most girls want a tiny bit of added volume but not so much that the hair gets out of control or frizzy. My hair is very thick. I have always had …

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 …

First off I am not one to use waxes or razors to shape my eyebrows, but I have tried the Noxzema Eyebrow Shapers to help add shape to my eyebrows and I have to say they are horrible. I think I will stick to shaping my eyebrows with tweezers …

Bump Patrol is usually thought of as a men’s product, so I thought I’d review it from a woman’s point of view. This product claims that it “heals and prevents razor bumps”, and it sure does!
I have very sensitive skin, and as any woman with sensitive skin knows, razor …

I usually look fair all year long except a certain period of time that I wish to have the perfect tan. Sometimes a girl just wants to look beautifully sun kissed and not pale all the time. Despite all that, I am not in to tanning under the sun …

I bought a Dr Hauschka deodorant recently after seeing it advertised and being curious as to how this expensive product could be better than the standard (and much cheaper) anti-perspirant that I regularly use. It wasn’t until I got it home that I realised this was a deodorant …
