Hello,
I have been using this product for about a month now. It is not the best lip balm out there but it certainly does its job of keeping lips hydrated when applied several times day. It comes in a conventional tube with a blue top half that you remove …

I have used Bare minerals for almost two years now and out of all the things I have tried this is the best make-up ever. It is easy to apply, last all day with minimal touch-up, and does wonders for you skin. I have very sensitive skin and …

I got this Bobbi Brown Crystal Lip Gloss in a mini size as part of a set that also featured two lipsticks and a lip liner. I like the creaminess and luster of Bobbi’s lip products, so I purchased this limited-edition set while it was still available.
This is the …

Late last year I was going to a rave and I realised that I had no proper makeup. My shopping was really “spur-of-the-moment” and so I didn’t necessarily plan what brands I wanted. All I knew when it came to eye shadow was that I wanted something fairly bright …

For a beautiful looking skin- I always believed it was necessary to keep it clean. For this purpose —“ I always relied on my Buf- Puf reusable all purpose facial sponge. Though I did use various cleansers and scrubs- this facial sponge worked on days when I would be …

I tried this Cover Girl Clean makeup when I was still looking for a good liquid foundation, which was before they started making mineral powder foundation because I absolutely love mineral powder foundation.

I wanted to pick up some bright, warm, fun nailpolishes as the weather is warm now, and everybody likes to flash a little bright color on their toes when the weather is nice! However, I get fed up with nailpolishes because no matter how careful i am, I ALWAYS …

I have had completely naturally or chemically free African American hair for about a year and a half now. Before chopping off all of my chemically processed hair, I had relaxed hair for most of my life. One of the things that I enjoyed about having straight …

I am not very fond of Avon perfume, I just think that that they all have similar scents and that the they all don’t last for a lot of time, the fragrances aren’t strong enough and they usually all have very much musk in it. I don’t like musk …

I purchased Sephora’s own line of mascara called Outrageous Volume in ultra black after reading many glowing reviews of the product online back in March when it was a brand new product. It also was fairly cheap as far as what mascaras sell for on Sephora’s website at $15.
The …

After having natural or chemically free African American hair for over a year and a half, I decided it was time for a change. Although I loved my hair in its virgin or kinky curly state, I started to yearn for the ease of styling and manageability that …

I’ve been using this Montagne Jeunesse Very Berry Face Masque exclusively for a few weeks now; having successfully treated dry skin with it last year I didn’t hesitate to buy it again when my skin felt dehydrated after a snap of cold weather.  It comes in what is supposedly …

I’m afraid this purchase was a mistake. What I liked about this eyeliner when I saw it was that it had not only a built-in sharpener but also a smudger - a round, sponge-like top that you use to correct smudging. I also liked that the eyeliner was available …

If you have never tried a product by the company Caudalie, now is the time. All of their products are made from grapes and grape seed oil, meaning that they are all natural. When it comes to skin care, natural products are always the correct route to take. As …

With its Eucalyptus oil and Aloe, this lotion smells great! There are lots of natural ingredients listed in the bottle, such as Dead Sea Minerals, ivy, cucumber, and mallow. As far as the claim to sooth feet immediately, sure. The lotion does feel good on the feet …

I bought Fallene Total Block UVA/UVB Complete Full Spectrum Sun Protection for around $10 from a store a few months back. I tried various kinds of sunscreens from sprays to lotions, and I think this is one of the bests I used. It weighed around 2 oz and it …

The new Maybelline mascara Define a Lash is amazing. As an avid collector of makeup I can tell you there claims are true. This mascara gives you longer lashes and if you curl them first it gives you that awesome vertical lift. What makes this stand out so much …

I recently purchased the Not Your Mother’s Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder. The name is a mouthful, but the product is basically just a root booster for the purpose of adding volume at the base of the hair. I love having voluminous hair. Maybe it’s because I’m from the …

Robert Jeffrey’s is a great place to get your hair done. If you live in Chicago, you know how expensive highlights or hair cuts are, but I love this business. They are very attentive and priced very well compared to other hair places in the area. The actual salon …

I got these blushes in a huge makeup set that I got for Christmas and normally I don’t really like or use the blushes that come in makeup kits because they’re always to dark or bright for my liking but the ones that came in the Markwins makeup kit …

Last December, I remember I suffered from dry hands. My hands were actually pretty dry, specifically my right thumb. My right thumb had a part which was just way too dry, that there were lines forming on that area. My other fingers, on the other hand, were getting dry …

I bought only this because I needed detangler and this was the cheaper I found at the drugstore. I do really enjoy the beautiful intriguing transparent lavender bottle. The smell is very fair and powerful, personally I like this scent. Also it does linger a lot because it has …

Liquid lipsticks may be one of my favorite inventions on the history of makeup -they’re matte, really pigmented and what’s most important for someone as lazy as me, you don’t have to reapply them. So, as soon as I heard these were being released, I started stalking swatches of …

I just got through sampling Biosilk Silk Therapy. I have always had trouble with my hair being too dry and brittle. This product however has been my hair’s “Saving Grace”! I was at my salon getting my hair dyed when my hairdresser put some …

L’Occitane boutiques are always fun to browse through, with their wonderful array of fragrances and body creams. I purchased this Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream, because it was breast cancer awareness month and the proceeds of each purchase went toward fighting breast cancer. That incentive was tempting enough …

This product is good in a pinch, but it is no substitute for salon waxing. I use it on a semi-regular basis and it works pretty well on my brows, but I have very little luck with my upper lip—”it rarely grabs the hair and it often irritates …

This Korean-originated product apparently created a rave back in its home country for its effectiveness in reducing and tightening large pores. The watery gel comes packed in a dark glass bottle. It dispenses via a dropper so you can be sure that there is no contamination when you drop …

This is the Room Spray of the Body Lotion that I recently wrote about. This is a new range that has came out in Avon. In fact it has just came out in the newest Avon book. I got this ahead of it going into the Avon book since …

Conventional white pump bottle. One pump is more than enough to dispense the product for a single shower.
Texture, consistency, appearance 4/5
Very thick and milky! Shower cream is smooth and luxurious and is not liquid-runny. The cream lathered up pretty well despite its thick consistency. The milky texture …

I have been testing out new foundations with the hopes of finding a suitable substitute for my Prescriptives Flawless foundations since it will no longer be available after January. I recently tried the Estee Lauder Double-Wear Light Foundation. I was intrigued by the fact that this foundation is supposed …

Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel is one of the best multi - purpose herbal medicines that I have ever encountered. It is categorized as a cosmetic product, but I prefer calling it a herbal medicine because of multitude of medicinal properties this little wonder has.
Aloe Vera is known for its effectiveness …

It’s interesting that Smashbox assigns numbers to their make-up brushes. I don’t think I have ever seen that with any other make-up company. I got this brush when it was being sold as part of a set that included the Fusion Soft Lights, I believe it was. The Fusion …

There is a lot that I like about this pocket comb. For one thing, this comb is gentle on the scalp. I run it through my hair and it doesn’t scrape against my scalp and cause pain. I’ve had other combs in the past that did that and my …

I love what this shampoo does with the hair and I hate how this shampoo smells.
This shampoo features a combination of birch and sage, which are by themselves a great ingredients to have since they are treasured for their good effects on hair and skin in general through ages. …

I really do love the Jane line of cosmetics and think that they offer an excellent product for the price. When I purchased the Mineral Eye Lighter Shadow, I was quite disappointed. This product is a prime example of a company ruining a perfectly good product by …

I have to admit, I bought the Burts Bees Shiny Grapefruit and Sugar Beet Shampoo just out of sheer curiosity. That is certianly not a combination of ingredients I expected to come across in any product, much less a shampoo. I’d never considered washing my hair with beets of …

I’m guilty of taking advantage of the mania for BB creams by hoarding free samples, and for sure there are several others who, while not so keen, end up collecting samples like a magpie. This abundance spewed out by the makers of BB creams has kept me from …

Almay Smart Shade Concealer (Light/Pale) is thus far one of my favorite concealer brands I have ever used. At first I really did not like it because I was used to heavy makeups that I used a lot more pressure to apply. I simply was not very good at applying …

I was so frustrated when the airlines put that—¦ 3-ounce liquid content restriction on all carry-on baggage. What was I going to do when I visited my daughter? I need my designer shampoo, conditioner, lipstick, body lotion etc—¦.
Calling my daughter to complain—¦.she told me not …

I get really dry, stinging skin on my hands especially during the winter months. I’ve tried several hand creams and lotions and found this one from Aveeno to be the most effective at relieving my sensitive skin. I put it on before bed at night and make …

I have what you called strawberry nose. Never heard of it? Imagine the surface of a strawberry on the skin of nose. Well, you’ll get the idea. Tons of ugly blackheads are sneering at me every day when I look into the mirror. I have to put a lot …

I have been on a major hunt for a good cleanser that would not irritate my super sensitive, oily and acne prone skin. Lately I have had a bad episode of acne breakouts and after trying various cleansers and products meant for oily and acne prone skin my …
