I used to have acne scars from treating acne and scratching them when I used to have them. When I successfully cured my acne, I was left with a few acne scars which were brown. Of course it was a little annoying to have them, and while I cured my …

A close friend of mine was giving out samples of this AcneFree repair lotion, which the directions say is to be used once in the morning and again at night every day. I’m always open to trying new things out on my face, especially if I’m having a stubborn …

There is a great little selection …

I had tried the Technic whipped foundation mousse and absolutely loved it, so my reservations about whipped makeup had been completely altered. When I saw the pink champagne blusher sitting on the shelf beneath the foundation, I decided to grab it and give it a go. The …

I usually use Technic products when I just cant afford to buy the more expensive alternative. The Technic XXL lashes is a mascara that I purchased about 2 months ago to replace one of my previous mascaras. I like to have 2 different mascaras, one for when …

I have been using the Olay total effects foaming cleanser for about three weeks now, ever since my previous face wash had run out. It makes a bold claim to have seven different benefits so I will approach this review by explaining just how well I think this …

I have the odd Bubble bath and don’t tend to stick to the same kind all the time. I like to change, but I usually like to go for Fruity ones. I just tend to pick up ones when they are on offer in Avon and when the recent …

The trend for summer was striking colors. Color blocking was on the loose and also was lipsticks with striking shades. To follow what was in, I immediately searched for lipsticks below Php100.00 or about $2.50. One of those I found was from Careline Cosmetics.
I was choosing between something that …

Last time I checked, I thought that, in time, the growing number of lip balms I was buying would outnumber the dozens of lipsticks I owned. My fixation with lipsticks I displace to tinted lip balms, maybe because they’re cheaper and unfussy to use. To date, I …

I tried a few ways of using …

I just got some of the Suave Naturals Calming Lavender Vanilla Body Wash and I used it for making a bubble bath instead of using it as a body wash. I have to say it made the loveliest relaxing lavender vanilla bubble bath I have ever had and it …

I am typically not a big fan of Suave products but I have been using the Suave Moisturizing Almond and Shea Butter Shampoo and I have to say I have fallen in love with it. Best of all it was so affordable and made from quality ingredients such as …

I have been using the Suave Natural Oatmeal Moisturizer for about one month now and I love well it works. I was worried it wasn’t going to keep my skin hydrated and silky soft because of how cheap it was, but it actually improved my skin greatly and not …

I had previously heard really good reviews about other brands of foundation musses, but the price put me off, and I have always though that a mousse foundation wouldn’t go very far at all. When I saw that my local body care shop now sells a version of …

I used to have baby powder in my bag all the time to keep my face shine-free. It takes a lot of space so I decided to buy a compact powder. My choice was Maybelline Clear Smooth All-in-One Shine-Free Cake Powder.
As for the packaging, I was not so impressed …

I have been using the Technic range of makeup products for about 2 years now, and I am …

Desperate for a bit of retail therapy, I bought the Bed Head after-party smoothing cream, hoping it was something different from a product I’ve been using. It was actually my frizzy hair that tramped my confidence level, in need for a styling therapy.
The after-party smoothing cream gives my …

I’m trying to pare down my makeup to lighter eyeshadows apt for daytime wear. I’m strongly inclined to blue shades. Nothing could be bluer than the Showy shade from Loreal’s HIP bright eyeshadow duo. Loreal looks at the ‘bright’ side to make colorful eye palettes of …

I recently dyed my hair from a light brown shade to an ultra light blond shade and let’s just say that it didn’t quite turn out like I planned it to. I wanted to be an almost platinum blonde and what I was left with was …

Skin So Soft Bath Oils are top sellers for Avon, and I decided to try some last week. Avon claims that the bath Skin So Soft repels mosquitoes, gnats and even fleas; so I decided to test this claim. I even have heard that people use it …

Removing nail polish is a messy business. That acetone is bad for the nails is old news. I keep coming back to acetone, though, because other permutations of nail polish removers just don’t do as well. That, again, is old news. Now this is the …

I often browse through various hair lotions in shops since my hair is not the best looking - it is really dry. However I do not like using lotions since with most of them you need to apply them then wait for a number of minutes and then wash …

I got the 67 Just Shout! named color which basically is a pastel pinky orange colour - a really great colour in my opinion, works well with anything since it is quite subtle.
This nail polish dries up really quick, nails are touch safe in about a minute and that …

I was bored with fall makeup before fall even hit. Another season of golds and predictable burgundy reds I thought. I was semi-inspired to go to my nearest drug store, however, because I had just read that Gucci Westman, (no not that Gucci), Revlon’s …

For years, I have permed , colored, and worn my hair shoulder length. I decided I wanted a change. I still color my hair, but decided to let it grow long. I have always tried to take very good care of my hair. …

I started using the Laucura brand of face raidience shimmering day moisturiser about 2 months ago now. i have bad problems with dry skin patches on my face, and even episodes of psoriasis, so I was a little unsure about buying this product. It was only £1.99 …

As much as the numerous Almay products claim to highlight the different eye colors, I haven’t seen much difference between this mascara, which is in ‘Black Emerald’ and other mascaras that I have in regular black and brown shades. This doesn’t mean that the mascara isn’t efficient or pretty, …

This waterproof mascara comes in an attractive, though kind of bulky, purple tube. This makes it easy and quick to find in a makeup pouch, especially when trying to get ready in a hurry. The applicator brush is thick with many small bristles, allowing it to effectively grasp at …

Avon Smooth Minerals blush powder makes a nice little addition to your makeup kit. As most of the other Avon products, it is affordable and hardy, however not without a few drawbacks. The color is very soft and sweet, and though it claims that you can ‘layer’ the product …

I bought Avon’s Anew Clinical Line & Wrinkle Corrector cream after noticing a very obvious wrinkle under my right eye. I know that I should have focused more on prevention but then I never really thought much about putting products around the eyes because I’m a contact lens user …

Some people are just born with pale-looking skin, and I’m one of those. Having pale skin might be a problem for some but good thing there are lots of blushes out there that are budget-friendly and of good quality, just like Allue Starring Cheek Blush by HBC.
As a student, …

I generally am disheartened to buy brow mascaras. I like strong, sharp brows yet I’m unsure if I can pull off that “witchy” look. This intimidation started when I used the Lancome modele sourcils, but I was able to wield this one effectively in defining my arches. …

When it comes to tweezers for grooming my eyebrows I am very particular about the type of tweezers I use. Well, it wasn’t the case until I came across the precision tipped slanted tweezers from a brand called QVC found in drugstores.
Prior to that I would tweeze my …

I used a different brand of facial cleanser before and unfortunately, it was pulled out of the market. Since I was using Olay for my moisturizer, I decided to try their cleanser from the Total Effects/7-in-1 line. I have oily skin so I picked the blemish prone/oily skin formula. …
