Nivea Whitening Milk Lotion

Coastal Scents 88 Original Eyeshadow Palette
At first I never thought I would be buying the Coastal Scents 88 Original Eyeshadow Palette because I never liked the idea of using matte eyeshadows. I already own the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette and I love it but then, while using the shimmer shadows I …
Nivea Pore Minimizing Extra Whitening Deodorant

Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigued Eyeshadow Duo: Blue Smoke

makeup. I didn’t start using Physician’s Formula until I …
Zoya Remove Plus Nail Polish Remover

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

Ilog Maria Milk and Honey Soap
It’s no surprise that I love Ilog Maria products. This time I’m putting the spotlight on their Milk and Honey Soap.

Avon Kids 2 in 1 Detangling Spray
This spray is great for sorting out Tugs in hair. No doubt since this is part of the Avon Kids range then it is more designed for Kids, but I use this now and again probably more for the scent it puts on my Hair, but perhaps it does …
Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF15
This is possibly the best oil-free moisturizer I have tried. Unlike some of Neutrogena’s other lotions that are targeted toward people with oily skin or acne, this one does not contain salicylic acid. I have always thought of Neutrogena’s products as being a bit overpriced for what they do, …

Suave Professionals: Humectant Shampoo

Korres Ruscus and Chestnut Eye Cream
There are only few eye creams sold in the malls where I am at. The main brands are L’Oreal and a few locally-produced ones. I was divided with L’Oreal because it lightened by dark circles however it does not have anti-aging properties. The product was also released under a …

Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing Concealer (medium)
