Philosophy hope in a jar moisturizer
I bought the smallest size of this moisturizer for fifteen dollars the other day when I was at sephora. I went in just to browse and ended up buying this moisturizer because I had been wanting to try it for so long. So, I went ahead and bought it …
Caress Exotic Oil Infusions (Brazilian)
When I first came across the brand Caress, I really wanted to try it. It is one of the luxury brands of body wash. I have finally gotten to try it, although I am more of a frugal person, since my family has decided to buy it …
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 85 Sunscreen
A friend recommended this body sunscreen to me. I asked my dermatologist’s opinion before buying and she also had great things to say about it, so I gave it a try. First let me say the price is right at about $10, totally within most people’s price …
E.L.F Studio Angled Contour Brush
Prior to buying the E.L.F Studio Angled Contour Brush I have bought and love the Complexion brush and the Blush brush from the E.L.F Studio series. I also own the Sigma Professional Brush set that comes with 12 brushes of which I lost the Sigma E40 brush …
Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
I’ve been using Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub for a week now. I bought it because the usual facial wash that I’m using wasn’t available. But I did not regret that I chose Aveeno. For a week of using it, I’m quite satisfied with the result.
What I have …
Noxzema
I have been using a tried and true facial cleanser for over twenty years now. Noxzema.
This cream based cleanser is easy to use, simply apply it to a wet or dry face, and give it a few minutes you will feel this face cleaner begin working. It is a pleasant …
Heeltastic Intensive Heel Therapy
My feet became hard after a long time of walking around. I actually tried a few products before but because the anti-callus products are not as extensively or widely available as in some retail stores online, I thought of buying online. I found Heeltastic Intensive Heel Therapy for $10and …
Wet n Wild Speedgloss Energizing Lipshine in ‘Uncontrollable’
exactly one of their best formulas, in my opinion it’s still better than anything Jordana has to offer.
THE PACKAGING:
It came with a plastic safety band that was pretty easy to remove. I like the plastic bands, they reassure me that someone hasn’t been drooling all over the tube of …
Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS Upload Style Volume Cream
I have rarely used any hair care product by the brand Schwarzkopf because it is not carried widely in drugstores or even salons in Canada, and when I can find it, it is very pricey. I did find a hair care retailer that carries many products in this brand …
Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner
I like to use leave-in conditioner when I am either feeling particularly lazy or when I am in a huge rush and do not really have the time to devote to my normal hair care routine. Some leave-in conditioners are pretty worthless and do not do much to keep …
Avalon Organics Lavender Hand and Body Lotion
I go through a lot of lavender lotion because my skin is always dry. I think it is because of the medication I take to treat my thyroid disease. Anyways, I was in my local herbal shop and saw that they had some of the lavender lotion I like …
Ever Bilena Clear Mascara
I already have thick long eyelashes but then often times when I curl it it tends to draw back after a few hours. Since I am in need of something that would hold and curl my lashes for a longer time, I had to find something that would look …
Redness Relief from Avon
I have always hated my red face. Don’t know why, but I have always longed to have a perfect ivory complexion. So when I saw Avon’s Moisture Therapy Redness Relief Moisturizing Cream with SPF 15, I snatched up a bottle. I thought now I can finally …
Nivea Natural Tone Face and Body Creme
I received a nice sized sample of Nivea Natural Tone Face & Body crème from a website offering freebies. One thing that impressed me was that it did not come in a little pouch like most other samples, and the other thing that impressed me was that it …
Redken Ringlet 07 Curl Perfector
With all the heavy mix of hairstyling products I put on my curls, I’ve finally weaned myself off too much styling. My knack for doing perfectly groomed waves and tight barrels is slowly getting out of tune and lately I’m feeling extra confident to just sport loose curls. …
Maybelline Studio Cream Eyeliner
Okay so makeup seems to be a very important thing now a days. And yes I would know being a 16 year old girl. It always seem to be the constant battle of deciding which make up looks the most natural or what color fits my skin tone best. …
Anastasia Brow Gel
I have always neglected my brow and my friend who is a make up artist commented on how unruly my brows appear. He gave me a 15 minute lecture on how the eye brow is the frame of our face. I am not truly convinced but being the beauty …
Revlon Nail Polish in Sweet Tart
I’m not a big fan of Revlon products and they are not usually on my shopping list. I’m not sure why but it feels as though there’s nothing really special about Revlon.
However I really couldn’t resist this colour. Sweet tart is my favourite shade of girly feminine …
Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Silvery Moon
I am always experimenting with Clinique’s lipstick shades and lipstick collections. I think I have sampled the full range of colors - peachy corals, bright pinks, bright reds, and nudes. But this Long Last Lipstick in Silvery Moon is one of their pale shades. Just from hearing the name, …
Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick
I’ve always been skeptical of Covergirl products. The quality never seemed to be very good and the packaging always managed to break on me. But lately I’ve been on a lipstick craze. And the colors from this line immediately stood out to me. I walked by and saw about …
Equate Medicated Acne Gel
I used to have severe acne back in the day when I was still preparing my thesis, which led me to have sleepless nights. I tried some products here and there, and while they worked, they only did at some extent without actually getting to the root cause of …
MAC 131 Duo Fibre Powder and Blush Brush
I’ve acquired only a number of cosmetic brushes, until I’ve learned enough about makeup to use them. I just enjoy the expertly feel of employing brushes and the efficiency of getting it done. I realized I was keeping much of those result-specific brushes like tiny concealer, lip …
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Concealer
I don’t usually spend a lot of money on my cosmetics as I’ve found really high-quality products at my local drugstore that are tried and true. So it takes a pretty serious recommendation to get me into the mall to the cosmetics counter to part with my hard-earned …
HerStyler High Temp Hair Straightener
I have owned a few different hair straighteners over the years and I have noticed that the more you pay for the iron, the better it is. The first one I bought was $30, the second one I bought was $35, the third one was $45, and the last …

Oil of Olay always makes good products. I tried out this moisturizer , because it also has 7 anti aging benefits. I’m 30 now , and care more about taking care of my skin. This is a great mositurizer and is really good for your skin.
This one cream …
Village Naturals Stress Therapy Mineral Bath Soak
I’ve used several Village Naturals products over the years and, for the most part, have enjoyed them. They are all reaosnably priced, so I can’t complain and it’s been good investments in the past. I typically, however, try to stay away from bath salts because they never seem to …
Estee Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Energy Lotion
Your skin care routine at night is not complete if you don’t use toner. Normally you don’t need to use it because washing your face takes off the dirt. However one time, I was worried because there has been a lot of unusual things growing on my skin. I …
Bambini Baby Lotion Attitudes 200ml
I think I have mentioned in most of my reviews how I love lotions and moisturizers for my skin. I am not afraid of trying something new, although I always have preferences. Lately, I ran out of body lotion and I got no choice but to use the baby …

I absolutely love this Hawaiian Tropic Golden Tanning Oil, It’s amazing. It’s one of my most favorite tanning oils to use. I really love everything about it, I use this every time that I go to the beach. It’s one of my first products that I’ve ever used by …
Pantene Pro-V Nourished Shine Strength & Shine Conditioner

Well, for my hair the only …

I’d been using this product for quite sometime now. I just wanna credit it for being one of my loyal beauty products. Although I only use this for special occasions, it never failed me in bringing out the best of what I can be in front of a wide …
Top Brass ZP-11 Anti-Dandruff Hairgroom
I have had problems with dandruff on my scalp for years, and have always found it hard to find a good product that will keep it under control. While some of them might work for a short period of time, they usually are very ineffective after a while. The …
Cherry Body Butter from Watsons
The Product
This product has no particular brand. I just bought this in Watsons, so I guess, this is really their product.
The container is in a round plastic tub with red and pink vertical stripes, and at the center is the light yellow label of Cherry Body Butter. …
Vaseline Intensive Care Skin Lightening body lotion
Even in summers sometimes one needs to apply some moisturiser to keep away the sun’s rays! Moreover with the exposure to heat and sunlight the skin really turns a shade darker. So Vaseline has introduced its new skin lightening moisturiser for lightening the skin tone of body. This lotion …
Emami Golden Beauty Sandal Talc Powder
I was at the store specifically looking for a nice sandal talc powder. I just love the sandal fragrance and also because sandal powder is cooling and great dusting all over the body after a good shower.
At the store I found quite a few options to choose …
Watson’s Green Tea Mud Pack
A few months ago I bought Watson’s Green Tea Mud Pack for 80 pesos at a retail store. It weighed 1.7 oz, and lasted for months. Here is my review.
This mud pack is made to help draw out excess oil and grime which might lead to blackheads and acne. …
Avon Basics Care Deeply with Aloe Lip Balm
I used to have a real problem with chapped lips and cold soars. Sometimes my lips would bleed a bit as well as hurt and I wanted to put a stop to the problem. I had tried other lip balms before this one but the smell really bothered me …
Kiehl’s Creme with Silk Groom styling creme
I live by a very simple and boring hair care routine. Cleanse. Condition. Style. If I should add something relevant, albeit on principle, it’s that scraggly hair is worse than a bad outfit. To that end, I rely on expensive hair styling products, and …
DermaBlend Makeup
I found this brand of makeup a couple of years ago. It is the only thing I have used since. What I like about it is the coverage. As a woman’s skin begins to age, sometime it is a struggle to find something that has the coverage yet still …
Avalon Lavendar Organic Shaving Cream
Lately my sister has been on a big kick about organic cosmetics. One of her absolute favorite organic cosmetic products is Avalon Lavendar Moisturizing Shave Cream. I had the opportunity to use this prodcut when she gave me an extra tube that she had. It comes in a large …
Absolute! AA254 Pink Nail Polish

Maybelline Volume Express Mascara
I have to admit, when I first talked myself into buying a “drugstore cheapie” mascara, I was a little hesitant. I was low on money and couldn’t really afford my department store brand at the time. I decided to drag myself to Walmart and spent at least a good …
Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush lip gloss
There are plenty of lip gloss products out there and hell I already have dozens but I was looking for something more wearable for short trips during the day. I’d like to share my favorite lip gloss so far. This one is called the Beauty Rush lip gloss from …
Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen
I received the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen as a fun little stocking stuffer from my boyfriend’s mom. Although I assume this is primarily for younger girls, looking to spice up their nails without having to spend money at a salon, I can also definitely use a break when …
Smith’s Rosebud Salve
To be honest, this product was nothing spectacular to me. Its effectiveness was the same as Vaseline in my opinion. The major difference between the two products is the smell and color which are two things that I could do without. A major problem that I …
