MURAD Blemish Spot Treatment
I am a big fan of MURAD products as it has a wide range of skin treatments targetted to specific problems.
I have been a loyal user of the blemish spot treatment for 3 years now, and I must say that this product works whether countless others have failed.
The texture …
Ocean Potion extreme intensifying lotion
Well, well, well is what I said when I first started using this lotion. One of the things that I noticed about this lotion was that wasn’t expensive. I was a bit skeptical about that because most things that I buy when it comes to tanning lotions is expensive. …
Hard Candy 1,000 Lashes Fiberized Mascara
I hate it when I purchase a bad mascara product because it usually causes a bit of lash fallout. I hate it when I lose lashes because it is not as if I have a thick set of lashes to begin with. I recently purchased a terrible mascara that …
Equate Moisturing Cream
Equate Moisturizing Cream is manufactured by Walmart (Equate is Walmart’s private label). According to the label on this moisturizer, this is the private label version of Cetaphil. Prior to using this product, I had used Cetaphil for years and really liked it but it is expensive and …
Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Foam Wash
This product is a lifesaver. I have used it many times for those times that I have experienced a breakout because of stress. For some reason it actually seems to calm and relax my skin. The usual irritation and pain seem to disappear. I also have an issue …
Samy Icing Instant Re-Styler
I have a bad online shopping habit. Most of the time I end up buying things that I do not necessarily need or want because it is listed for a great price. About three weeks ago, I was browsing online on one of my favorite cosmetic websites …
Vanicream Lite Lotion for Sensitive Skin
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 …
Hourglass Prodigy Hydrating Lip Gloss
What really caught my eyes when I purchased this lip gloss was the packaging. I am a big sucker for nice packaging. I love to collect them and once I use up the content I keep them in my store room. So imagine the amount of bottles, jars, tubs, …
Crème de Pistache Bath & Body Collection - Honey Bath
When I was a kid, or more like a tween I guess I should say, I used to read all these teen magazines and read articles on how to beautify oneself with household ingredients and products, and one of the first things that seemed to come up no matter …
The Body Shop Divide and Multiply Mascara
A little tube of mascara, just 5mL, was thrown into my Body Shop bag as a lovely thank you for completely using up my paycheck there. The full size is double of what I got. For $18, 10mL of mascara may not seem like much, but the things it …
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is a natural oatmeal based body lotion. I like that it is meant for all over the body and not specifically just for the hands. I received a free sample in the mail to try along with a coupon. The Aveeno Daily …
L’Oreal Elseve Nutri-Gloss Mirror-shine Booster (Creme de Lumiere)
A few months ago, after a period of intense stress, I decided that my hair - naturally wavy, dyed (but without peroxide and only once every 40 days or so) - needed a holiday. To be precise, I wanted something that would make it SHINE.
Naturally, I knew that the …
Neutrogena Hand and Foot Cream
I have very dry skin and my feet are the worst. I have tried lotions. I’ve tried probably 50 different kinds. I’ve tried creams, bag balm, vaseline, Shea Butter, and all kind of other types of creams. I’ve even tried Avons Foot Cream that claims to soften cracked heals. …
Imari Velvet by Avon Luxurious Skin Softener
This jar of body lotion has been sitting dormant in my vanity shelf for a long time. I have only used it lately upon realizing I still have a spare lotion, in an attempt to declutter and toss away the things littering my old bedroom. I didn’t …
Montagne Jennesse’s Passion Peel Off face masque
This Made-in-the-United Kingdom face masque comes in handy, ready-to-use 0.3fl oz packets that you can tuck away easily in the dressing table drawer. I keep mine in the refrigerator though because I like the cool substance on my skin.
Ingredients: Passion flower, Raspberry, Grape, pomegranate and Cranberry. This mash of …
Hairagami Hair Yoga Barrette
I got this tool along with the hair kimono from the Hairagami Company. The tool is a very unique item. It consists of three barrettes stacked on top of one another. However, it’s quite pricey at $10 compared to the hair kimono at $5. However, if you read my …
Nars Lip Gloss in Orgasm (Soft Pink Color)
I am a make-up addict. I especially love lipsticks and lip glosses because I think they make my lips look nice. I think I can go through the day with just mascara and lip gloss. But it is really hard to find the perfect shade of lip gloss especially …
Avon Banishing Cream Skin Discoloration Improver
I tried many products in the market for my acne problem. I was using birth control pills for three months. One of the side effects are the pimples on my face. My husband works abroad and goes home after ten months contract. He stays for two to …
Dromaius Facial Day Cream from Longview Farms
Avoid using Dromaius Facial Day Cream by Longview Farms. It does not do what it claims to on the longview website on the Internet - that is, be soothing and ideal for sensitive, dry skins, because it is “fortified” with Emu Oil and Oat Protein, and SPF protection!
Because of …
Lancome Modele Sourcils Brow Expert in Brunette
I’m so envious of Audrey Hepburn’s 60’s arched brows. I’ve been watching a lot of her films lately that it’s hard not to overlook her brows; her hair changes constantly with every role but her brows stay invariably defined. Well I merit my insecurity for darker brows …
Classic Beige Safeguard Bar Soap
Safeguard soap is the soap I grew up with, and the same goes for all my brothers and sisters. I guess the advertising campaign worked on our family, especially my mother, who trained us early to respect hygiene and be scared of germs. This soap is a …
Maybelline Ultra Brow Brush-On Color Light Brown
I have pale skin and ash blonde hair and so my eyebrows are very light colored as well. In my youth, before I knew the proper way to shape and tweeze my eyebrows, I went a little crazy and over the years, never learning the proper techniques, I’ve tweezed …
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Nude
I’m a huge fan of nude lipstick and have a collection of it already but I still haven’t found the perfect one. I have tried other brands but they make me look too made up that I had to constantly blot the lipstick just to give me a natural …
Pierre Ricaud 2-in-1 eyebrow pencil and shaping brush
What is this? Exactly what it says in the title.
It’s an eyebrow pencil on one end, and a shaping brush on the other.
You can buy it from Pierre Ricaud online (see my review of the site itself). It’s just £4.95 and I think really good value.
The thing I like …
Estee Lauder, Revelation (Anti-aging Cream)
Today I will tell you of my latest acquisition to combat wrinkles on my face, anti-aging cream by Estee Lauder Revelation.
I decided to get some time to try this brand because it gave me a mini vanity case with various sizes of treatment products and I loved it.
I wanted …
Technic Brilliant touch highlighter and blemish corrector
The Technic Brilliant touch highlighter and blemish corrector came to me through a friend. She had purchased 2 on a deal in her local beauty store, so she let me have one of them. I have used Technic beauty product before, and really like how they manage …
Headway Salon Pasay City
For me my hair is my crowning glory. A bad haircut could make you look unattractive while a great one would make you look like a movie star. That’s why it’s so important to go to a salon that you truly trust and where you’re sure would give you …
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Leg Gloss
As an athlete who plays tennis every day, it was unavoidable for me to have small scars from the scratches on my knees due to playing. I just can’t have them removed through surgery because aside from the financial expense of the procedure, it would …
Extraderm Exfoliant Plus
I use Extraderm Exfoliant Plus once a month to exfoliate the skin on my face. I like the effects it makes on my skin, which is white pinkish glowing skin. I was never so much a fan of products such as this one, but when I …
Clairol Natural Instincts Brass Free Hair Color
I finally decided to color my hair again three weeks ago. I wandered the aisles at the store looking for just the right product and finally decided on Clairol Natural Instincts Brass Free.
The first reason that I chose Clairol Natural Instincts Brass Free is because it is ammonia-free …

Mary Kay Nourishine Lip Gloss
I’ve been using Mary Kay’s Lip Glosses since I was 12 years old so that would make this my 8th year of using these glosses! I love Mary Kay Nourishine Lip Gloss. It is the only gloss I have ever used that doesn’t dry my lips out. I love …
Dove Extra Hold Hairspray With Natural Movement
Okay I’m just going to go ahead and be blunt about this…Dove should really just stick to skin care products. Not hair products. Seriously. I mean you guys make great deodorant, body washes, and soaps, lotions and creams, but the hair? I think you should pass on that. I …
Dove Deodorant Stick
If there’s one thing that made me stay with Dove Deodorant for 3 years is that it didn’t leave a stain on my clothes. Most of the other deodorant sticks I’ve used would leave white marks on my clothes and actually stain them; which is really not good for …
Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Buffing Cleanser
I was desperate to try this buffing wash after a great experience with Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Souffle, one of my cult favorites from its bath and body range. I loved gloomaway’s sour grapefruit smell and the yummy body yogurt recipe. Following my obsession is Gloomaway’s Grapefruit Body …
Sunsilk shampoo
Sunsilk shampoo is the shampoo, which is good by all means and very cheap. It is very suitable for those who don’t want any kind of special shampoo or shampoo treatments to their hair and just want to wash their hair cleanly. I bought it when I …
Kleancolor Nail Lacquer (Barbie Pink)
It was actually my mother who had bought me “Kleancolor Nail Lacquer (Barbie Pink)” nail polish. I personally had never seen nor heard of the “Kleancolor brand before that, but since I have developed more of an interest in nail polish lately, and the colour looked pretty like it …
elf Studio Stipple Brush
A few months ago, I purchased the elf Studio Stipple Brush online from the elf Cosmetics website. I didn’t use this brush very often immediately after it arrived, but when I did use it, I don’t remember having any complaints. I do remember focusing on how soft the bristles …
Boscia No Pores No Shine T-Zone Treatment
It is funny to know that there are many cosmetic products that are created for several things—even to to minimize shine on your face. Though it is funny and something irrelevant because I thought powdered foundation can cover up the oil, I bought one from Boscia. I have encountered …
L’Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base
I am quite the girly girl so of course I love cosmetics. I am always trying different things in the cosmetics line. It seems that every time I pass by the make up aisle in the store, I am enticed to buy something. A couple days ago I purchased …
Very Sexy Hot Pants Lip Gloss
I love this Lip Gloss. It comes pink in the little square bottle from Victoria’s Secret. You can buy it either in the store or online at any Victoria’s Secret retail location. The lip gloss has no taste, and there is a fair amount of shimmer …
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 …
Equate shampoo
Most of the products by equate are very fine in its quality. It may be either equate shampoo or the equate conditioners. I love my hair a lot and I also have very beautiful hair. But it is my responsibility to take very good care …
Mario Badescu Drying Cream
From my previous review of the Mario Badescu Healing and Soothing Mask, this one unfortunately wasn’t as great of a product. I kicked this one out of my acne regime. This cream contains aloe that conceals and heals acne. It’s used for those under surface bumps in the skin …
Garnier SOS blemish clear pen
I’ve recently been using Garnier Pure SOS blemish clear pen since I had problems with stubborn pimplemarks that look very awkward on my face.
I used to try a lot of other products hoping to lighten my pimple scars because I wanted to atleast lessen my use of concealers which …
La Coste Touch of Pink Body Lotion
I have dry skin, really really dry skin. Well a patch of it anyway. I noticed it and didn’t do anything about it until it was bad enough for me to act.
So I bought the La Coste Touch of Pink body lotion to do something about it. …
MAC blush in Style
Style is a powder blush by MAC that looks bright orange in the container, but that actually applies as a very pretty coral-peach shade with a lovely shimmer. Although MAC describes this blush as a “frost”, I found the shimmer in the blush to be quite subtle as …
Avon Naturals Whitening Cream Cleanser with Beads
I have always been in search of a good facial wash that best suits my skin. I tried almost every brands in the market. One of these facial wash that I have tried is Avon Naturals Whitening Cream Cleanser with Beads. I purchased this item when it was …
L’Oreal Revitalift Double Eye Lift
One of the best and amazing products that I like from L’Oreal is their Double Eye Lift. Too much work made me look like I’m five years older than my actual age because stress made my eyes appear so sagging and lifeless. There had been no day when I …
