Maybelline Superstay 24HR Concealer
A concealer is one of my important saviors in terms of makeup. There are times right that we need a quick cover up in our face because something inevitable happens. Pimples often sprung out of nowhere which is so annoying. At times, we have dark circles because of staying …
Now Essential Oils: Tea Tree Oil
I really love the “Now Essential Oils” collection, because it offers a wide range of pure essential oils in a nice quantity for the cheapest price I’ve seen so far. One of my favourites (next to almond oil) is the Tea Tree oil. I found this product to be …
Gatsby Oil Control Clay Wash Scrub
My wife and I had grocery last week and we got a free item from the grocery shop - Gatsby Oil Control Clay Wash Scrub. The size is only 15g, not bad for a free item. The product claims to eliminate oil as it gives smooth and …
Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream for Women
I have always loved keeping my skin clean and —˜hair free’ and for this I always threaded and waxed off all my body hair whenever I felt it was required. However when it came in removing all the unwanted hair from under my arms- I preferred shaving them off …
BodyShop Seaweed Mattifying Cream
I have been using the Seaweed Mattifying face cream from BodyShop for a long time and it is absolutely terrific! This product is great for people with combination skin (dry and oily in some areas). It has a shine control & oil-balancing technology that evens out your …
Ambi Skincare Fade Cream
I picked up this product after hearing a lot about it on television and in print. After passing by it about three times, I decided to buy it for around $4. One thing I noticed about it right off the bat is how nice the packaging is. It’s very …
Avon Perfect Wear Extralasting Liquid Foundation SPF 15
I love getting products that are advertised as “two in 1”. Recently, I came across the Avon Perfect Wear Extralasting Liquid Foundation. It is supposed to have built-in primer, making it both a primer and a foundation in one product. Because I love getting multiple products in one, I …
L’Oreal Infallilble Plumping Gloss, Plump Rose
This lip gloss is amazing. L’Oreal always makes good quality products , but this is one of their best. It comes in about eight different shades , but Plump Rose is my favorite. This is one lip gloss that I take everywhere with me.
When you put this …
Soft Scrub Cleanser
I think Soft Scrub is definitely one of the best cleaning products on the market. We have a porcelain kitchen sink, and it always gets these gray scratch marks from pots and pans being moved around inside it. I had tried many spray-on cleaners with bleach, and nothing would …
Dial Clean and Refresh Antibacterial Deodorant Soap Bars
I am the number one fan of body wash. I don’t like using bar soaps because they melt fast, and attract dirt and crumbs. I also don’t like the film they leave behind on my hand when it is soggy. Though I don’t like bar soap, my husband still …
Mentholatum Acnes Medicated Oil Control Cleansing Sheet
I have tried quite a few products from Mentholatum and have had good luck with most of them. The first product that I had tried from them was the lip balm and I really liked how cooling and moisturizing it was. After that I tried the Acnes face …
L.A. Colors Color Craze Nail Polish BCC567 Shock
When I paint my nails, I try to look for colors that really stand out. I have never really been into the regular pinks and reds. I have found a few nail polishes that really pop when you look at them. One in particular that I have tried recently …
Wen Tea Tree Cleansing Conditioner
I used to have an itchy scalp and was scared of wearing black. My hair was thinning more and more by the day and was full of frizzes and flyways. I had given up all hope of finding a solution to manage my wild hair when I came across …
Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads
I bought Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads a few months back when I liked their cleansing pads. I bought it for $20, for one jar. Each jar had 28 pieces, good for a month depending on the usage.
The cleansing pads are not any different from the others …
L’Oreal Pencil Perfect Self Advancing Eyeliner
I have used many other eyeliners and pencils, but this product from L’Oreal is my favorite. The formula is super creamy and doesn’t dry out like some other drug store brands do. It is moist enough to color your lids and your waterline without pulling or dragging.
The color I …
Pigeon Face Powder
A clean face is a beautiful face. I subscribe to this philosophy, and so I like to shop around for face powder. I have a different powder for different occasions. I used baby powder for weekends before just to keep the shine out of my face. However, while I …
SmartMouth 12 Hour On-the-Go Mouthwash Packets, Fresh Mint
At 10 packets per box, this really isn’t the most affordable alternative to keeping your mouth fresh smelling and tasting, but I was in a pickle and needed something to take with me on vacation. Now a days you can’t take hardly anything on the plane with you, or …
E.L.F Studio Blush Candid Coral
I purchased this blush after reading all of the positive reviews it had, I was sold! And to think that it only cost $3.00, I would be a fool to not jump on the bandwagon! Now at first I was going to purchase this item online in bulk because …
Vaseline Intensive Care Dry Skin lotion
Vaseline Intensive Care Dry Skin lotion works well when my skin feels dry. It’s really a bothersome feeling that I cannot stand for too long of a time. This product takes good care of my dry skin problems and since I started using this lotion, I notice that the …
Sally Girl Sparkle Effect Loose Glitter
When I purchased the “Sally Girl ~Sparkle Effects~” online at sallysbeauty.com I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Being the girly girl that I am, I had been “needing” glitter for my experimentation and daily beauty regiment, but I also didn’t want to ay $6-$15 for an ounce of …
Tub House and Tanning Wasilla Alaska
I have been a loyal customer of the Tub House and Tanning for 10+ years now. I just love the friendly environment that surrounds the Tub House. The crew is always helpful; whether it be in how to operate the equipment or picking out supplies.
The beds are …
Express Finish 50 second Nail Color
This is for the ladies who love to buy new fingernail polish every once in a while. I love to buy fingernail polish at least twice a month. The newest string of fingernail polish I’ve bought was the Maybelline Express Finish. Oh my goodness, let me express to …
Revlon ColorSilk in Light Ash Brown (50)
One of my favorite hair dyes of all time, I’ve been using this color as a base color for years. It’s a really pretty shade, and you can get it for around $4 at the drug store.
I have a light olive skin that doesn’t really look great with reddish …
Benefit Cosmetics Hello Flawless Powder
I bought this powder to compliment the liquid foundation in the same range. The powder is available in various different shades. I have fair skin so I opted for the light Ivory shade called “Love Me”. The powder comes beautifully packaged. Each compact contains a small brush, a sponge …
Lucky Tiger Face Scrub
There’s nothing I like more than waking up in the morning and splashing water on my face and using a good facial wash to really make my skin look alive. I’ve always had to deal with skin that looks a little dull in the mornings, or any time of …
Mary Kay Mint Bliss Feet & Leg Lotion
I am not really into using creams or oils for my tired feet after a long but when I added years to my age I felt that my back leg and feet gets tired easily and feels annoying and disturbing when you are at rest. I am a girl …
Salon 828 Quezon City
Last September 2008, I decided to have my hair rebonded because my hair is getting curly again. At first, I just want to have my hair relax since that type of hair treatment works for me. However, most of the salons don’t offer that anymore since they are all …
Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover
I have been using this Neutrogena eye makeup remover for years now.
I always think the “oil-free” part is funny because it leaves behind this oily residue after I use it to remove my eye makeup. I remember reading that just because something is oil-free does not mean it’s not …
Calgon Morning Glory Spray
I originally bought Calgon’s Morning Glory body spray because I was going traveling, and wanted to have some kind of scent in case I wasn’t able to shower often. I fell in love with the scent, and bought another bottle when I returned home.
I liked the fact that …
Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula
This product passes the first test for any product that claims to be natural and organic in that they note they do not test their product on animals. This product is useful for anyone who has dry hair. It is not really greasy but it does soften …
Four Seasons Hair Salon Louisa VA
I went today to get my hair cut in the Four Seasons Hair Salon in Louisa, Virginia. I had gotten my hair cut there previously and had noticed different results with different stylists. In general, I had been happy with my haircuts there.
I had a stylist …
Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Makeup
My face and makeup had weathered all the holiday parties, thanks to Revlon’s Beyond Natural Skin Matching Makeup. It is actually a foundation that is quite different from the different ones I’ve tried because it comes in a silky white cream that sort of absorbs into your skin …
New York Color Classic Brow & Liner Pencils
When I decided to start filling in my eyebrows a few years ago, I made a trip to Wal-Mart for the products I needed. At the top of my list was an eyebrow pencil. I didn’t know anything about brow pencils at the time, so I really didn’t know …
Ulta Mineral Powder Eyeshadow- Gleam
I got this as part of a gift set last Christmas and have only gotten around to trying it recently. It appears to be designed as a knock off of that bare minerals stuff that was so popular a couple of years ago. There were several colors in the …
Crushed Velvet Eye Kit
When I saw this kit I thought the three eye shadow colors were absolutely gorgeous looking, neither of them were colors that I really were worn or colors that I necessarily liked on my eyes but I thought that I would at least give them a try because they …
Sainsbury’s Sweet Clementine Bath & Shower Gel
Sainsbury’s Sweet Clementine Bath & Shower Gel is part of the major supermarket chain’s increasingly large selection of own label bathroom cosmetics. Not all of the range has proved to be particularly successful, but in the event I found this specific product to be very good indeed, perhaps among …
RIMMEL Colour Rush quad eye shadow
These are usually a little too pricey for me (around $5 a piece on a college student paycheck is pricey) but I found them at a local pharmacy 2 for $3 and bought about six different colors.
The compact comes with four different shades of the same color (note the …
Purederm Acne Wash cleansing tissues
I was back at Watson’s a couple of nights ago to replenish my already depleted stock of makeup removal wipes. Because they had none of my brand of cleansers, I decided to try the Purederm Acne wash cleansing tissues.
The product’s name made me think twice before purchasing it. …
Hortaleza Professional Hair Color Powder
Times are so tough these days that I am now trying to unlearn my dependence on salons. Whereas before I would spend a minimum of US$20 a month for them to color my hair, I have now discovered the joys of covering my white hair myself. I use to …
Bare Minerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen
Sunscreen in a powder form? It may sound straight out of sci-fi flick, but it is already on beauty store shelves. Bare Minerals, the makers of the very popular mineral foundation line, have created a powder sunscreen that comes in a convenient applicator: the product is …
Palladio Tinted Lip Balm
As we all know that many kids are addicted to chap sticks, yeah it is true it is an addiction. There are many kids who can’t wait even for a while when they see the chap sticks they will start licking the part where the Chap Stick is been …
Nivea Lip Care Repair and Protection Lip Balm
One thing that I always bring with me in my vanity kit is my lip balm. It prevents my lips from getting dry and chapped especially during hot and cold weather. One time, I bought Nivea Lip Care Repair and Protection Lip Balm. This lip balm contains Almond oil …
NARS Sheer Matte Foundation
I purchased NARS Sheer Matte Foundation due to the fact that I have failed in love with their Orgasm/ Laguna duo compact blush and bronzer. I figured if I loved that product so much that their foundation must be exquisite as well and I was right. The first thing I …
Reviva Labs Vitamin E Stick
One of the lip care products I have been using under my lip gloss to help keep my lips protected and hydrated is the Reviva Labs Vitamin E Stick. It comes in a lipstick like tube and twist up and down like regular lipstick usually does. It is even …
Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing powder
I was so embarrassed when I tried this one! I’ve seen a lot of raving reviews about this one and it’s the only reason that convinced me to buy this to give it a try. I regret so much because nobody told me I would have look like a …
Dove sensitive skin beauty Bar
Dove beauty bar is an amazing soap to use in the shower or bath. It’s my favorite type of bar soap to use. My only complaint is that it is expensive to buy. You can buy two bars for approximately four bucks. It is unscented. I love the feeling …
Zip Wax Hot Wax Hair Remover
I am a natural blonde and so any facial or body hair I might have is very light in appearance. However, being a finicky female, I like to have as smooth an appearance to my skin as possible, and so when I get that little peachfuzz on my upper …
MAC Shy Girl Lipstick
MAC lipsticks are my obsession. I only really wear neutral colors like light pinks and nudes, but I am constantly buying the ones that MAC has to offer, even if they’re pretty similar to ones I already one. I love the MAC formulations and the pigmentation with their lipsticks. …
Nivea Hair Care Diamond Gloss Shampoo
Every once in a while, when my regular shampoo begins to lose effectiveness with my hair getting used to it - or my scalp developing an unpleasant allergic reaction - I try to experiment with new brands, hoping for a good find, but usually only ending up disappointed.
Nivea …
Samy Hair Care Products
I have had the chance to try several Samy hair care products over the last couple days and I am not as impressed as I would like to be. I found that the Samy products lack a lot of the punch that other lines offer and they don’t …
