Nesti Dante Il Frutteto Olive & Tangerine Beauty Soap
This is a very fragrant and fresh-smelling bar of beauty soap that’s great for daily use. It is quite expensive but I bought it from my occasional splurges and it’s worth the $8.50 that I spent this on; it is made of olives and mandarin orange and tangerine and …

Immortelle Brightening Cleansing Foam
I was drawn into buying this cleansing foam from L’Occitane’s Immortelle Range as I like the idea of ‘brightening’ my face every time I cleanse. Also, the Immortelle Range is one of L’Occitane’s best selling ranges for anti-aging, hence, it would be killing two birds with a stone …

L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara
Since I’m a fan of l’oreal for their decent prices and pretty good-quality products, I was excited when they introduced their “telescopic” line of eye products. A month or so ago, I went makeup shopping and stumbled across the Telescopic mascara, so I picked it up. It was …
Remington Wet 2 Straight Flat Iron

O.P.I. Tickle My France-y France Collection Nail Lacquer
I almost always love O.P.I shades but this one is another one of those shades that I’m not really sure whether like it or not. This shade is called Tickle My France-y and it’s a neutral beige shade that looks very natural but in my tastes, too simple …

The mascara is packaged in a gold plastic tube that looks …
Korress Basil Lemon Body Scrub

Revlon Creme Gloss in Crush on Coral

Clinique superbalanced makeup in beige
