Ce-Ce of Sweden: True Colors Flaming Red Shampoo
As anyone who has ever dyed their hair knows, after just a few weeks even the best hair dyes or colouring shampoos tend to fade and lose their shine on your hair. Thus, you try to save the liveliness of the colour by using various shampoos and conditioners for …
Rimmel Jelly Gloss Sheer Lipgloss
After spending an insane amount of money on my very disappointing Lacome Juicy Tube, I was plesantly surprised by this Rimmel lipgloss! I had never tried a Rimmel product before so I didn’t know what to expect. I really like the consistency of this lip gloss - …
Atristry Self-Defining Sheer Foundation
My opinion about Artisrty is very divided. In one hand I really like their products because they are very good, and I must say that I haven’t found any that I didn’t like, specially creams and skin care products, I didn’t like just the lipstick because the colours aren’t …
Mac Face & Powder Blush in Pure Peaches
Sometimes putting blush on top of concealer and powder makes your skin stand out and looks bold, so I bought this face and blush powder as it can be also used for your forehead, nose, and chin. This compact costs around $18.50 and it’s a 6-gram compact, it’s quite …
Neutrogena healthy skin Blends Sheer Highlighting Blush Healthy
I don’t know when blushes started to come out in these weird mosaic patterns, but I think it really works at creating a great shade! I don’t normally wear blush because it’s hard to match a color with my naturally fair skin tone. My skin is also slightly yellow-tinted …
Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation
The Revlon Colorstay Whipped Crème Foundation gets a rating of 9 out of 10 in my opinion. Pros, in my opinion, include its incredibly smooth texture, very natural yet still opaque coverage, and its blendability. In fact, I like this crème formulation way more than I like the liquid …
Physicians Formula Cashmere Wear Ultra Smoothing Bronzer
I recently purchased the Physicians Formula Cashmere Wear Ultra Smoothing Bronzer from my local Walgreen’s. This is one of those makeup products that I picked up because it caught my eye on the shelf. It has such cute packaging with a cute little gold tassel hanging off of the …
Breast Cancer Awareness Ojon Revitalizing Mist
Because my mother-in-law had breast cancer a few years ago, I’ve always been an avid supporter of breast cancer awareness products. Anything even remotely pink in nature, and I’m buying it, because I know that money is going to support a good cause. And couple that cause with some …
Clear Basics Berry Antibacterial HandSoap
The Clear Basics Berry Scented Antibacterial HandSoap was very reasonably priced. I purchased it at my local Dollar General Store, and it was only $1.00, plus tax. I must say that the little pink, plastic bottle with very little decorative print doesn’t look very chic in my lush and …
Rimmel Gloss Maxx lipstick
Rimmel is my favourite drug store brand as it produces quality products at really affordable prices. In fact the Gloss Maxx lipstick I purchased is better than some of the counter / high end brands I’ve tried.
Packaging : 3/5
Packaging is a rather unimaginative cylindrical black container. Rimmel is embossed in …
Garnier UltraLift Pro Night Cream
The television advertising for a face cream that I purchased claims that Garnier UltraLift Pro Night Cream is —˜clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in two weeks,’ which is a claim that many beauty products make. In my experience, nothing completely reduces or takes away wrinkles, but sometimes they do seem …
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm (Mint)
I was given a set of three of these Jack Black lip balms as a Christmas present, having never seen the product before I didn’t really get excited about them and it’s only fairly recently I’ve actually started using them - and after sampling this Mint one I’m kicking …
Gillette Fusion Hydra Gel Shave Cream
We received some cosmetic coupons in the mail including a $2 off the Gillette Fusion Hydra Gel Shave Cream, so I decided to buy it at my local drug store. I have long been a fan of Gillette products, and having just received the Gillette Fusion razor I thought …
Biore Dual Fusion Moisturizer + SPF 30
I have combination skin, both very dry in most areas, and then small areas which tend to get oily, so I can never find a moisturizer that works well for both issues. Even skin care products which are specifically formulated for combination skin don’t really work well for me. …
Skin So Soft by Avon soft and white - intensive whitening lotion
I bought this avon product from a local dealer. I always look for moisturizers with simple but richly nourishing ingredients. I was stuck with my usual dose of milk and yogurt to treat dryness until deciding on using a whitening lotion for a change.
The texture is less creamy …
Nivea Sun Children’s Sun Lotion SPF 50
When we had a last-minute and very spontaneous outing at the beach, I had no sunblock left and available in my house and I had to buy a sunblock with a high SPF as I’m really scared of getting skin cancer due to the very harsh rays of the …
Clairol Nice and Easy Hair Color for Women
I have used a number of different brands of hair color kits over the years and used Clairol Nice and Easy for the first time about 4 years ago. I have never used anything other than Nice and Easy since then.
The main reasons I have never changed product since …
LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer
I recently purchased the LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer for about twenty dollars. I have used all of the “famous” eye primers like Urban Decay Primer Potion but I always love trying something new. I have used very few LORAC products in the past but I wanted to …
Dr Scholl’s For Her Liquid Pumice Foot Scrub
During one of my casual shopping routines a few weeks back, I happened to see this product called Dr Scholl’s for her liquid pumice foot scrub. The fact that I always have the soles and heels of my feet looking dirty most of the times, using different foot …
Dove Cool Moisture Refreshing Body Wash
Today for the first time I tried out Dove Cool Moisture Refreshing Body Wash and I must say that it was a pleasant experience. This product is combines cucumber extract and green tea into a soothing formula that is all that it advertises itself to be.
I used a …
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint No. 1139
I am always willing to try out new lip gloss because what can I say? I guess I’m just the typical girly girl with a lip gloss fetish. The first time I ever set foot in Bath and Body Works, it was actually an outlet. I found the C.O. …
Vicco turmeric Cream
Turmeric is renowned for its medicinal values and such is mentioned in the Vedas and puranas of the ancient Indian literature. It no doubt has great healing properties and my mother applies raw turmeric powder when even I suffer some minor injuries or cut. Now Vicco has captured this …
Soft & Dri Anti-Perspirant deodorant
I was given Soft&Dri anti-perspirant at a gym promotion. Throughout my teenage years I have struggled with excessive sweating (particularly under the arms) and odour if I don’t apply deodorant regularly. Throughout the years, I have yet to find a deodorant that I can apply once a day …
Carmex Everyday Lip Conditioner
My lips have been severely cracked and bleeding due to being dried out from the wind and sun I was in the other day while gardening. I tried the usual Chapstick lip balm to help repair them and it simply was not enough to hydrate my lips. I even …
Isopropyl Alcohol Band Aid with Moisturizer
At home, we do keep an emergency kit that includes Povidone Iodine, Band Aid Straps, Cotton Balls, Agua Oxinada and Alcohol. At my bag, the only kit I can have is alcohol, so that whenever I have cuts or bruises I can clean it with alcohol.
There are so …
Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom Lip Balm
I have always loved using cosmetic products that seemed to be different from the ones I had been using in the past. The fact that I need to use a lip balm on regular basis, I always try experimenting with a different flavor each time I happened to buy …
Careline Lip Gloss
I love using lip gloss as part of my beauty basics. I use it more often than lipstick everyday when I go out. So it is no wonder that I am very picky when it comes to choosing a lip gloss brand that fits my personality, style, and beauty …
LashBlast Mascara by Cover Girl
I never leave my apartment without wearing makeup. I have a morning routine for everyday makeup and a night routine for the nightlife. The part of my makeup that really brings out my feminine qualities is my mascara. I always put it on last as the crucial finishing touch. …
Careline Lip Gloss Enriched with Vitamin E in 104
The Product
The 104 shade is a lovely neon pink with no shimmers.
The container is a test tube-like clear plastic container with a silver screw cap where the doe-foot applicator is attached.
This has a watermelon scent but I did not detect any taste.
This has a consistency of in between thick …
DEAD SEA PREMIER COSMETICS
MIRACLE NOIR is a product of Dead Sea Premier Cosmetics DSP. It comes in a nifty little blue jar with a shiny silver colored hard plastic lid. Inside is mud! But not just any mud, it is mud from the famed Dead Sea of Israel. When I encountered this …
Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Grapefruit and Sugar Beet Shampoo
To start out, I must admit, I was a bit disappointed by this particular shampoo from Burt’s Bees. Most of their products are really good, this one however, left a lot to be desired.
This shampoo is very runny, you really need to use a lot of it, in order …
Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion
I just recently purchased the Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion from drugstore.com. I had heard so much about this product from friends and family, but had never actually come across it in the store, so I decided to be proactive and order it online.
First of all, this product …
Synthetic Lace Front Wig
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 …
Sea Breeze Clear-Pore Astringent
When I bought Sea Breeze Clear-Pore Astringent for 300 pesos for a set of 3 bottles from a department store, I already suffered from moderately severe acne. I did not have much blackheads, so my acne was my concern. My acne were already getting a little bigger day by …
Boscia Oil-Free Daily Hydration
I absolutely love natural products. This is the predominant reason I have been zeroing in on the company Boscia for all of my skin care needs. As the title implies, this product is oil free, a feature that is almost necessary. I won’t even consider products that aren’t oil …
Freshaire Salon
Freshaire salon was the first salon in the Philippine that offered hair strengthening services back in the 1990s. They are first known for introducing hair strengthening but they do also offer other hair care services such as rebonding, relax, coloring, haircut, hair and scalp treatment. Freshaire also offers manicure, …
Goody Comfort-Flex Updo Barrette

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil
I’m what some would call a product junky. When the opportunity is there I love going to the beauty section of my grocery store of my neighborhood beauty supply and checking out new products. Usually if I’m not looking for another particular product I will browse for a …
Neem active toothpaste
My parents use the Neem active toothpaste. Actually in my mothers house they have been using the neem active toothpaste since more than 8 years. Whenever I visit my parent�s house even I used the same toothpaste. The neem active toothpaste tastes a little bitter. …
Dove Cream Oil Body Wash
If you haven’t tried Dove Cream Oil Body Wash I encourage you to do so immediately. I bought a 295ml bottle of jasmine and vanilla scent Cream Oil Body Wash and believe this is the best body wash I have ever bought. I have always enjoyed using Dove moisturising …
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex
The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex is absurdly expensive and it is not worth the price! I’ve been using this product for about a month now for the wrinkles around my eyes and it hasn’t done a thing to help! For the price …
Neutrogena SkinClearing Blemish Concealer (MicroClear)
I grew up with Clinique and Lancome samples around the house, so I am used to having the more moderately expensive cosmetics around rather than the drugstore brands. With the plethora of makeup products on the market today, I thought I would give the cheaper version a try. I …
Maybelline Water Shine Liquid Diamonds
I am not much if a party freak and would rather stay at home, but the little time I go to parties I prefer to look PERFECT! Minimal and natural makeup is what I like! This gloss from Maybelline gives me that perfect party look! The name itself …
OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender Nail Polish
I absolutely adore this color of nail polish! It is so beautiful, I just can’t take my eyes off of my nails! I have pink nail polishes, but none of them can compare to OPI’s lucky lucky lavender nail polish. Seriously! I have hot pinks, pale pinks, neutral and …
Liquid Shine Lip Tint

Alberto V05 Herbal Escapes Free Me Freesia Conditioner
I bought this product for two reasons. First, it was an amazing 79 cents at Walgreens. Second, the matching moisturizing Shampoo which I purchased at the same time recommended I’d have better results if I used both.
I purchased the shampoo to help clarify and clean off build up from …
Herbacin Kamille Hand Cream
I leave a lot of hand cream around the house, and usually lose them in my bag or under the sofas, so I’m always scouring the aisles for more lotion or creams. I came across the Herbacin Kamille hand cream when I was in Walmart, and I thought I’d …
MAC Pigments
I never even knew about MAC pigments until I saw a review of them on You Tube. I was absolutely fascinated with them, because I had never known that they were even made, and was so surprised that they were like something that you have to make yourself pretty …
