When I see infomercials I often doubt the claims that the product promises to its consumers. In the case of the Smooth Away hair remover my doubts were justified. At first when I saw the infomercials I found it far fetched how it was claiming that it could remove …

There are times that I want to use cooling mask rather than the mineral-based or seaweed extract facial mask. I have the complete line of facial mask in my lavatory just in case I want to shift from one variant to another. Sometimes shifting from one brand to another …

I had seen the Desert Essence Organics line of shampoos may times in the CVS near my house, and because I’m a shampoo and bath and body product obsessive collector, I had thought about trying this a half a dozen times before finally buying it. I have pretty much …

From all the make up I really like almost the best the eye shadows, I like more only lips glosses but just because you can apply them whenever you want and you don’t even need a mirror. Eye shadows are very discrete even when they are dark and if …

I saw a commercial a few weeks ago for something called Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs, a lotion from Nivea, which claimed to give your legs a natural looking tan, while minimizing the need to shave so often. Well, I detest self-tanners to begin with, as they always become yellow when I …

In my view, the bottom line for Bumble & Bumble Thickening Serum is that it just doesn’t work.
My stylist suggested that I might like to give this a go as I have reasonably thin hair. I agreed, although had I known the size of bottle and price beforehand, …

This particular mascara I have had in my make-up bag for a long time. I purchased this product at Wal-Mart for only four or five dollars ($4-$5) and for the most part I am relatively happy with it I am particularly happy with the applicator brush on this …

I purchased this product not too long ago from Walgreens for about seven dollars ($7.00). I had tried the previous version of Revlon’s Photo Ready foundation and received pretty good results from using it. I was not aware that they made a mousse version of the foundation …

I absolutely ADORE mascara. I’m usually not a huge make-up wearer, but despite that I can’t even leave the house to go for a walk, to the gym, or to do grocery shopping without applying a generous amount of mascara.
I have very thin, long eyelashes, that are light …

I bought this product because of the commercial, and the videos that are on Amazon. Amazon has a couple of videos on how it works. One of the videos has a very well known hair stylist, using the product and saying how good it is. I beg to differ …

I’m not a fan of HBC. However, I find this product a must-have inside my cosmetics kit. I do not apply make-up so often but for special occasions, I carry this all along to add glamour and style. It’s not the visible make-up though but it builds up excellent …

I stripped my nails of all vanities the last week. I used to think of my nails collectively as a piece of hardware like a brass necklace or a cocktail ring —“ mere fashion accessories, sort of. But my cuticles were dehydrated after all that nail abuse, …

I needed a defrizzer, and I couldn’t find the one I normally use. I was in a pinch, shopping in a drug store and didn’t have the broadest range of products available to purchase, but this defrizzer looked promising, so I picked it up.
THE PRICE:
I paid around $8.00 for …

Let me put all you men straight right here right now. Lynx African Deodorant Body Spray is not going to get …

I don’t particularly consider myself a person of discriminating taste. I’m always game to try whatever stuff there is. I’d be a hypocrite consumer if I shun away from a product such as this, Simply Pretty lipstick and lip gloss duo from Avon. I got it …

I think YSL’s lipsticks remain true to tradition, despite a few changes in the past they still keep the classic feel and color intact. Improvisations in cosmetics had improved the crude textures of most lipsticks, making them richer. But I miss the old days of painting a …

I put —˜from Morrisons’ in the title as I am not sure whether these can be found in other supermarkets or not. But these are great nail shapers made from silicon carbide which is my favourite kind of nail shaper as they seem more effective than the usual …

I think Akamuti coconut oil is a relatively expensive skin care product compared to some of the more typical moisturisers and oils you’ll find in pharmacies… but hey, sometimes I think you get what you pay for. Akamuti coconut oil is not only organic, completely natural and chemical free, …

I purchased this hair gel at a local grocery store because I had a coupon for it. I had to stop using my old hair gel because for some reason it suddenly caused my scalp to become irritated. I thought that perhaps this was because it contained soybean oil, …

I love hair care products. Its a really sad fetish that I have to admit that I have. I rarely have the same shampoo for more than a month (with the exception of Herbal Essences I always have a bottle of that around somehwere). Sadly along with this love …
