A friend gave me this body lotion as a gift. I admit I am personally not a huge fan of body lotions since I am often too lazy to put it on. So, I was surprised to have gotten this from my friend, who gushed to me about how …

Last Sunday I got some of the Aveeno Stress Relief Body Wash and it was heavenly. It cleanses my body wonderful without making my skin to tight and dried out. It had the most amazingly heavenly scent as well. It was like a mixture of lavender, chamomile, and ylang …

I bought this product after I had my hair straightened at a local salon, because I knew how chemically-treated hair is prone to damage. My hair is naturally frizzy and dry to begin with, although the straightening treatment made it glossy and shiny. But because the treatment was expensive, …

My face seems to be the most sensitive part of me, especially where face washes are concerned. Keeping this in mind, I am always wary of starting to use a new product because so often I have been not only severely disappointed but had to watch my face pay …

I am very particular about lip gloss because everything that I have gotten up to this point has been such a hit or miss, mostly miss unfortunately. I do not like there to be a whole lot of color in my lip gloss as I do not wear make-up …

In addition to a good shampoo, you usually require some kind of a conditioner to keep you hair in a good condition - especially during the winter months, when the cold weather (or wearing a cap) can really put a strain on your hair.
I bought the Ce-Ce of …

This lip color by Cover Girl is different than most lip colors. It is not really a lipstick, nor is it a lip gloss. It is a lip stain that, when applied to lips, gives them a “stain” of color. The product resembles a marker rather …

I consider Avon a good company that offers its customers quality products, a wide variety, and reasonable prices. They are constantly coming up with new and innovative products, although I have found that they also seem to discontinue products that I love. This is exactly what happened …

I was pleasantly surprised with this foundation. I know it’s been around for years, and I had heard good things about it, but I was never interested in trying it until I found it on clearance at the drugstore recently. I didn’t think I would …

The beauty craze in asian countries right now is the use of the BB creams. BB cream is short for Blemish Balm cream, which is a combination of different ingredients that are good for the skin. Most of the ingredients are SPF, moisturizing properties, whitening properties, and coverage as …

Since the Face Shop opened its store here in the Philippines, I have not been able to try out their products until now. I just skimmed through their choices of beauty products and I saw that they had an anti-wrinkle night cream which I have been looking for my …

I was strolling the supermarket the other day when I passed by the displays of different soaps. It almost freaked me out when the sales person kept on screaming about promos regarding the Vaseline 2 in 1 Healthy Skin bar soaps. She was probably doing a good job because …

I have been using Dove Soap before it became internationally popular, before those ads on having real beauty. I first knew about it through my dermatologist, who recommended that I use the product for my sensitive and dry skin. Back then, soaps with moisturizers infused in them were still …

Vaseline’s petroleum jelly is just about the most useful product I have come across in the cosmetics aisle. It has proven to be the solution for countless issues, from dry skin to chapped lips to pain reliever. It is pretty much the jack of all trades and is quite …

My excessive armpit sweating has been a personal problem for a long time, and I have tried everything from roll-ons to formulations made by my dermatologist to crushed natural minerals and plant extracts. Nothing seemed to work.
One day, while I was watching television, I saw some local ads for …

On a recent shopping spree in the beauty section of my department store, this product caught my eye. It wasn’t for the cute packaging becase Suave Basic Volumizing Shampoo’s product design is as basic as one can get. Rather, it was for its claim to add volume to my …

This is one of the many self-tanning products that I have been giving a trial run lately. I selected it as one of the ones I wanted to try because it had quite a bit of good reviews, and I kind of like the Dove brand in general.
This …

I first read about this product in a magazine I frequently buy. It awarded Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine Free Face Powder as the best face powder of the year.
I myself use a different brand, to which I have been loyal for several years, but the feature made me think …

Usually I do not prefer facial wipes as I feel that they are harsh on the skin especially with the rubbing and tugging that is involved when using these. I like to use a regular cleaner with water. However I do wear makeup sometimes and when I do …

I’ve been purchasing this lip gloss for so many years now, I’ve been using it since I was in high school! Back in high school, I mostly used cheap lip glosses (under $10.00) because I wasn’t that heavy into makeup and I didn’t want to have a look that …

I love this eyeshadow! I saw it mentioned on a make up forum, and and there was this one user who had light green eyes, and the color of the eyeshadow just complimented her completely! Now I don’t have green eyes, but I do have nice colored almond eyes, …

I originally thought of getting a professional manicure, but I changed my mind and would rather save the cost for a nail treatment. I groom my nails frequently, though that doesn’t seem to enhance its condition any more than the drying effects of a nail polish remover. …

I purchased the Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional for $28 plus tax. Basically, this is a balm that helps to make your pores appear smaller. It is also supposed to help make the skin smoother. The product is translucent in color. So far, I have really loved using this product. It …

I always have my nails painted. Without nail polish on, I feel sort of naked in a weird way. Usually, I have a pretty bold color like pink or even blue because I do not have the sort of job that would frown upon bright colors. I definitely like …

I purchased the Carol’s Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey product about three weeks ago. I ordered it online for about sixteen dollars. For that amount, I got a huge tub of product (containing eight ounces) so I feel like it is very reasonably priced. This product is a pomade that …

I recently purchased the Benefit Cosmetics Lemon-Aid for about $14. The product is an eyelid primer but the difference between it and other eyelid primers is that it also has color correcting properties. It is yellow in color and it apparently works to hide redness and any discoloration that …

I recently purchased the Conair 259 Infiniti Pro AC Motor Blow Dryer. To be honest, the thing that initially attracted me to this product was the color. It is bright orange in color and is hard to miss on the shelf. I did my research and decided that this …

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 …

I have a large makeup collection, but the type of product that I probably have the most of is lip products. I have dozens and dozens of balms, glosses, lip sticks, and other lip products. My most recent addition to this huge collection of lip products is the Benefit …

I have a big problem with biting my nails. Whenever I get nervous or anxious, I just instantly start to bite my nails. Sometimes I do not even realize that I am doing it. Because of this unhealthy habit, I have really brittle, damaged nails. They are thin and …

One of the things I hate most about my beauty routine is how long it takes to get through the process of doing my hair and my makeup. I would love so much to only have to spend 5 minutes on each, but the reality is that I often …

The Benefit Cosmetics You Rebel product is a tinted moisturizer. The first thing that I noticed about this product was how expensive it is. A tube of it contains 1.7 ounces but is thirty dollars. I have never paid this much for a tinted moisturizer in the past but …

A container with 8.4 fluid ounces cost me about twenty five dollars. The Dermalogica line is a pretty high quality brand so I did not expect this cleansing gel to be as cheap as the cleansers that I typically see in my drugstore aisle. I purchased this particular cleanser …

The first time I ever used Lubriderm was on a tatoo, because it was a very basuic lotion without a lot of added things. I bought a small bottle but after my tatoo healed I ended up tossing it aside.
I suffer from having rough skin on my upper …

When I used DDF Acne Scrub, I just wanted a tough treatment which can help keep my pores tight and small, and my face clean. I did not have serious acne back then because I just got rid of them before. I bought it for $35 from a store, …

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Treatment Pads was worth $21 when I bought it from a store online. I bought 3 jars, weighing 20 ml each, and each with 90 pieces. The jar had a nice design - it looked pretty simple, but pretty earthy as well. It is a set …

I have to admit the name of this face cream makes me laugh a bit; Vichy Cellebiotic Night Compensating and Regenerating Balm. This Vichy product doesn’t advertise itself as a face cream which is what it is, but as a ‘balm’ implying that somehow it is thicker than a …

I received some free L’Oreal coupons in the mail for doing some drug store survey, and I immediatly went to my local drug store to buy a new day face cream. I really like L’Oreal facial care products but often find them a bit expensive. This time however; I …

I struggle with my cuticles, the little bits of ragged skin around the base of my fingernails and toenails. Cutting them is often quite painful, and then all around my fingers gets red and raw looking and people ask me what is wrong. I had to keep doing something …

I have to admit I did a bit of a double take when I saw the Nailene Perfect Toes Complete Toenail Kit on sale for just $5 at my local discount store. I was looking for some nail polish for my toes when I saw this kit and I …

Despite all the years that Finesse hair care products have been on the market, I have never bought very many of them. I have used their hair mousse and hair spray but finally I bought Finesse Self Adjusting Regular Shampoo in a 300ml bottle for just $3.99CDN at my …

I have bought a lot of Herbal Essences hair care products over the last few years but this is the first time I have bought their Tousle Me Softly Conditioner. I usually buy conditioners designed for curly hair which I have, and find they usually work very well. Recently …

I just can’t get enough pink when it comes to my make up collection! I have bright neon pinks, Barbie pinks, regular pinks, pale pinks, and all of the in-between! So I was in the nearby beauty supply store purchasing some hair products when something cute and pink had …

I am in absolute love with this bronzer, I am so happy that I purchased it! I was in Sephora the other week doing a little bit of shopping when I decided to check out some powders to give me that cute sun kissed look for the Spring! I’ve …

Oily skin is a curse if you happen to live in the tropics. My intervention for this is as simple as a pack of facial tissues, and if I can’t help it – a MAC blotting powder. Toning helps as well. Every once in a while, …

I have very dry skin on my body even though my face is really oily. In the winter, I tend to get even drier to the point of being extremely itchy. I believe my skin is also rather sensitive as the slight tug and pull of constant itching causes …

I tried this shampoo upon the recommendation of my sister, who’s not very finicky when it comes to hair vanities. They always find it questionable that I spend so much money on shampoos. Okay. I surrendered this time. I also saw it an opportunity to …

I picked the Kleenex Facial Oil Blotter at the drugstore just because it was something new and I was quite tired of using the usual oil blotting films that all seemed to be the same no matter what brand. I didn’t expect the Kleenex Oil Blotter to be much …

This is the body butter I chose from my recent Lush purchase. I have been a big fan of Lush for a very long time and have been buying regularly for a while now to fulfill my need for bathing products. I totally love the idea of pampering myself with …

My acne has been troubling me a lot recently. It somehow went from bad to worse overnight and I have been trying to find a remedy for weeks. I was perusing the Eyes Lips Face website one day when I came across their “Zit Zapper.” Since it only cost …
