I have been using Johnson Q-Tip Cotton Swabs since I was a small child. It is a trusted name and although I have occasionally tried other brands because they were cheaper, I always find my way back to Q-Tips. I pay $2.99 per box for 375 cotton swabs. I …

Sauve Naturals Ocean Breeze Shampoo
Shampoo is Shampoo? Um…no. Shampoo isn’t shampoo. You may have seen a Sauve commercial that makes you believe that Sauve is not only the cheapest shampoo on the market, but also the best. This isn’t the case. However, Suave Naturals Ocean Breeze Shampoo is good. It isn’t great, but …
Chapstick

I like the packaging: stylish, voluminous, and bright.

Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief
This is another great moisturizer made by the very trusted brand, Clinique. I first tried the trial packs that came in sachets (the regular packaging comes in a small bottle). I wanted to test it first before the buying the full package since Clinique products can be quite expensive. …
Noah’s Naturals Firming Bronzing Cream
Spending on one or the other cosmetic product has become more of a habit to me than necessity. I wish I could do something to curtail this habit. I tend to purchase tons of products every month as I am always curious to try something new that would help …
Bourjois: Maxi Frange Maximum Length And Volume Mascara Waterproof
Bourjois is a French cosmetic company that I have always felt does not get the recognition it deserves for the excellent products they come up with. For example, their newest mascara: Maxi Frange Maximum Length And Volume Mascara Waterproof is an excellent product that often gets …
ModelCo Bronze AirBrush Sun, Spray Tanner
I was thrilled by this product upon knowing one or two juicy details that it provides an airbrushed-quality tan as well as the self-tanning free formula since I’m becoming more conscious of sun damage recently. The ready to spray application also seems worth its high price for such …
Aztec Secrets Indian Healing Clay

Burt’s Bees Lemon Poppy Seed Facial Cleanser

Myra E Shine Free Face Powder
Still recovering from a mild post-acne state with small red blots on my face, I was going for a light face powder that would be gentle for my sensitive skin. Myra E sounds like a good reputable brand of cosmetics with whom I’ve had a positive experience after …
Nail Polish “Revlon” 15 ml Fireside Glow 20
This is a saturated, red-colored, pearl nail polish. In my opinion it is especially suitable for a New Year party or any other official occasion. And why not use it everyday?..It must be applied as a double coating, at dry nails and you must wait until it’s dry. Of …
Pantene Pro V Blonde Expressions (Conditioner)

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick (Beige 112)

Josie Maran Sun Protection Argan Oil SPF 40

John Frieda Hair Straightening Spray

Dove White Beauty Bar

Maybelline XXL Mascara
I love getting dolled up for special occasions but wearing fake eyelashes just isn’t worth it to me. Trying to apply glue can end up in an embarrassing accident while the pre adhesive eyelashes never stayed on for long. After seeing the commercial for Maybelline’s XXL Volume + …
Neutrogena healthy skin Blends Sheer Highlighting Blush Healthy

Loreal Elseve Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner
