Vanilla & Co.’s Dessert in a Bottle lotion in Strawberry Cheesecake
I recently bought a lotion that’s locally made here in the Philippines, and the brand name is Vanilla & Co. The name itself sounds yummy, right? Sounds promising, too. They have whipped buttercreams, lotions and a lot more. And they have over 20-30 scents to choose from. I was …

Bath and Body Works Body Splash in Cotton Blossom
I don’t like the smell of stink. It doesn’t matter if its on me or on someone else, or in the air in general, I just can’t stand it and would do anything to get away from it or to get rid of it. I’m sure many people share …
Toni and Guy Iron It Heat Defence

Before I decided to go natural, I tried tons of hair weaves, wigs, and extensions. I was looking for any and everything to make my hair look like the celebrities on TV. A lot of them seemed to look fake and unnatural. That really wasn’t the look I was …
Rexona skin light with sunflower oil deodorant
The main reason I bought Rexona Skin Light with Sunflower Oil Deodorant is the shape of the bottle. I love the concept of upside-down deodorant bottles because it makes the application much quicker as the liquid is already on the ball. This is an excellent feature as I am …
Neutrogena Acne Stress Control, Power-Clear Scrub

Yves Rocher Stick Foundation
I don’t like to buy make-up online unless I am familiar with a product, but since this powder stick foundation by Yves Rocher was on sale and I love Yves Rocher cosmetics, I gave it a try.
I don’t like to buy make-up online unless I am familiar with a …
Shu Uemura Brow Gel in Seal Brown
Raising the eyebrows is a strong gesture that can be helped by using a defining brow product. Maybe my body language has lost that a bit, because my brows are apparently shrinking (after a threading session, and how infuriating that I did it to shape my then-thicker brows). …

Several week ago, one of my colleagues told me she sort of liked Ponds whitening detox cream. She said she had been using it for weeks, and it produced some good result. That was true, because I could sense the change in her skin tone. So I purchased my …
TRESemme - Tres Gel Extra Firm Control
I bought this product in the travel size, hoping it would do what most gels can’t, hold my hair in place. A friend recommended that I try it, because it keeps her curls in. I was hoping it would do the same for me as well.
I wouldn’t say …

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous
I loved Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto when it came out, so when its sister, Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto Voluptuous hit the shelves, I grabbed two on a BOGO sale. They retail for about $7 each, but I got it on a BOGO sale, so I do not feel cheated or ripped …

Revlon Smooth & Glamorous Ladies’ Shaver
