Kiko Milano Intense Colour Eye Pencil Review & Swatches – 05 & 11

June 20, 2015

Kiko Milano Eye Pencils

One of the good things about moving to New Jersey, is that it’s one of the states that has Kiko Milano stores. Kiko Milano is an Italian cosmetics known for their wide range of colors and textures all with a rather affordable price tag (in comparison to other department store brands). Living so close to a mall with one of these shops is really testing my willpower!

Kiko Milano has launched eleven shades in their Intense Colour Eye Pencil range. These are long-wearing pencil eyeliners. One… Continue reading | 2 Comments

CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser Review

April 25, 2015

CeraVe Renewing Cleanser

 

CeraVe is one of my favorite skincare lines. In fact, it may be my favorite skincare line. Most of the products are gentle and the line is affordable. I’ve also had numerous dermatologists recommend that I use CeraVe products for every skin problem that I’ve ever had (dryness, eczema, acne). Since these products come recommended to me by people with much more skincare education than me AND that these products work for me when I use them, I trust this brand. Whenever they launch a new product, I’m eager… Continue reading | 18 Comments

Not Soap Radio I’m Not Here, I’m Really…Island Hopping Solid Perfume Review

Islangin Hopping Perfume

Hey, want to smell like tom yum? Here you go!

Not Soap Radio I’m Not Here, I’m Really…Island Hopping is a creamy coconut with a heavy helping of lemongrass.

Notes listed include coconut, lemongrass, vanilla, musk and… Continue reading | 1 Comment

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia Solid Perfume Review

February 13, 2012

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia perfume

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia isn’t the best gardenia perfume out there. But, hey, can you think of any other gardenia that retails for less than $10?

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia is simple. It’s a surprisingly strong, heady white floral (jasmine/gardenia) with a leafy green crispness that gives a nice airiness. I mainly get jasmine/tuberose with this fragrance that could verge on mothballs. Tahitian Gardenia doesn’t wear very sweet on me. I don’t pick up any coconut or tiare like one would expect with a name like… Continue reading | 1 Comment
