I bought this product when my skin started leaning on the wrong side of spotty. It was all fine until I noticed one day exactly how angry my face looks what with the combined effort of all the spots and blemishes. I had blackheads on my nose and cheeks …

I first purchased a much smaller package of this body butter because I thought it looked cute. It was one of those little things I picked up along the way to the cash register that I didn’t plan on buying on a particular shopping trip. I grabbed it because …

I bought Eveline’s lip balm on a whim. The design caught my eye first and then I noticed the Swiss recipe symbol. When I gave it a closer look I saw it was intended as an SOS for very dry, chapped lips and was supposed to bring immediate relief …

I like to try new products so when this eye make-up remover became available to purchase at a discount for customers with loyalty cards at my local retail store, I thought it worth a trial run. I was also using a lot of eye make-up at the time and …

I’m big on facial powders especially because I have oily, sensitive skin. The one I like the most are from Johnson’s and Johnson’s, but I didn’t have the time to go to stores to buy some stuff for myself, so I end up using what my mom gave me …

For a person like me who likes to go out almost every day, I know that having a good, reliable sunscreen is very important for sun protection against UV rays. Problem is, most sunscreens I use are very heavy and thick, so even if I try to put some …

Innisfree is just a Korean skin care brand that I love. I actually went to buy some of their products, and have grown to love them. Their Apple Juicy facial wash is one of the bests I tried, and I really like its scent, because it reminds me of …

For a long time I’ve been using different Korean skin care brands because a lot of people tell me they’re effective. While I can’t agree with all of the products I’ve used, most of the time they worked. Like for example, there is this facial lotion I’ve used from …

I suffer from extremely dry skin on my body, especially in my hands. Normal body lotions just didn’t seem to help. Sure, they smell nice, but they weren’t moisturizing in the way I needed them to. I decided to try Gold Bond Ultimate’s Eczema Relief lotion. I don’t have …

I bought Garnier’s BB Cream because it came highly recommended. Miracle Skin Perfector was advertised on TV and lauded as one of the best ones where I’m from. A couple of friends were using it too and thought the world of it so I decided to see what the …

I bought this Dalan d’Olive hand and body cream in a local retail store. I needed a moisturizing cream and I was satisfied with another Dalan hand cream I tried before, so I thought this one wouldn’t miss the mark either. I was suffering from the usual winter ailments …

I have experienced excess hair loss last year and didn’t know what to do. At first, I am not bothered by it but then one day I noticed my hairline is receding. I was in total shock when checked it on the mirror.I also had some small bald patches …

What I’ve realized with most products is that they claim to ‘moisturize’ your hair, but you have to use their whole line of products in order to get the desired results. And why spend money on a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask treatment, and etc if there’s only a 50/50 …

Last fall, I purchased the Popcorn Lip Scrub from LUSH Cosmetics on a complete whim. If you are familiar with LUSH stores, you may know that ‘tester’ or ’sample’ lip scrubs are available to try. Personally, I don’t sample their lip scrubs in stores because I find the set …

Neutro Roberts’ Deo Roll-on is made of win. I like the shape of the container and the texture of the fluid. It has a nice and fresh, powdery scent. That powdery scent is still there at the end of the day and all odors are neutralized. I can attest …

I’ve heard about the brand but there were no plans about making a purchase. So I eye-balled it in passing in stores but opted out of buying it because it was a bit out of my price range. I started gathering info anyway and the feedback was positive. As …

For the past year, I have been loving Green Beaver products. The Green Beaver Eye Makeup Remover was of course, no exception.

For years, Essence has wowed me with some amazing products for extremely affordable prices - their buttery Silky Touch Blush, their I-look-totally-airbrushed loose powder and even their fabulous lipsticks. However, I have to say, this was one of the rare duds.
I first tried this when I was about thirteen …

I’ve been using this brand of sunscreen for about 3 years, and I can definitely say that I am never switching to any other sunscreen again. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, or have any bad odors and etc. I don’t think you can go wrong with this product.
Firstly, …

The first thing I want to talk about is the packaging, which I have mixed feelings …

The Vitamin E Body Butter is possibly my favorite body butter from The Body Shop. And to be quite honest, I’m a little surprised. For years I was attracted to the Body Shop’s products because of their strong scent. The first time I smelled the Vitamin E Body Butter …

This is probably one of the most hyped up products in the beauty community, and, as the beauty junkie I am, I had being dying to try it for quite some time now. I was especially attracted to the claims of bloggers about its “dewiness” and “lightweight feel”, two …

Moisturizers are a really big problem for me because 99% of all moisturizers in the market are thick creams that make my face greasy despite the fact that I just made it squeaky clean. It’s really frustrating because we live in a tropical climate so it gets hot all …

I had always wanted to use coconut oil because it was known to have a lot of uses in daily life. Since I’m concerned with the amount of moisturization on my face (yes, I still want to moisturize my face despite the fact that I am quite oily skinned …

When I bought the Aveeno body lotion which I previously reviewed here, to be honest I was a little unsatisfied because I can’t spread it all over my body to make it soft. I could only use it on my hands and feet, nothing else. So I thought of …

I am not an individual …

Wet ‘n’ Wild is not a widely available brand in my country, so you can imagine my joy when I found a stand of this brand at a random local store. I’d heard a lot about many of their products, but the one that kept coming up was the …

This review is actually for three different products included in the Garnier Fructis Brazilian Smooth haircare system. This haircare set includes the Brazilian Smooth conditioner, shampoo and Flat-Iron Express straightening cream. These haircare items ACTUALLY WORK. I have notoriously difficult-to-straighten hair. I’m constantly looking for products to smooth away the …

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 …

For my bridal shower, I received a Sephora gift card. Now, whenever I have a Sephora gift card, I have one rule - I don’t walk out of the store with a balance. Not wanting to break my own rule, I added the Sephora Pearl Eye Mask (along with …

According to the product description on the e.l.f Cosmetics website, the e.l.f Studio Brush Shampoo is an anti-bacterial brush cleanser that washes away traces of makeup, dirt, oil and debris from your makeup brushes, while also conditioning the bristles.
