Beauty Chat: Bust Creams

This is a bit of a weird topic for a beauty video but it has been on my mind lately. I assume there are others out there who have pondered on bust creams and a few who have dabbled with lotions and potions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZl0nrIZxPs The product I have been using is Palmer’s Bust Cream. It [...]

Tooth Whitening Mission – The Best Whitening Toothpaste

Toothpaste is rather a boring topic but I had to blog about White Glo. I got a sample of the original formula in a Glossy Box or Carmine box a few months back and after a week I found it lessened any staining on my teeth. I thought I would have to buy online, since [...]

The Natural Box – Glossy Box

Everyone and their mother has blogged about Glossy Box’s Natural Box offering. Unfortunately mine arrived only yesterday but her are my thoughts none the less.

Revlon Colorstay Under Eye Concealer

I’m a divil for a concealer. I had a Revlon voucher from Boots so I took the opportunity to check out their Colorstay Under Eye Concealer. I used it every day for a week before writing this review – just to give it a fair chance. My thoughts after a week of testing: Shade range [...]

One Heck of a Lip Cream! Eau Thermale Avène Cold Cream

If you’re a regular reader of my beauty rants you know how no product has separated me from my pot of Carmex. Until now that is. I began using Eau Thermale Avène Cold Cream Lip cream a month ago when my Carmex ran out and I haven’t looked back. This is an ultra-rich cream developed [...]
