I’ve been raving about Hera’s Black Cushion for a while now (it’s a total must-try, and my current favourite BB cushion). Now that Hera is finally available in Singapore, it’s time for me to venture into other product categories – such as this Magic Starter primer/colour corrector. If I’m not mistaken, this is possibly the … Continue reading
After clocking so many years on this earth (yes, I am that old), I’ve come to notice certain patterns about my skin. It may be capable of producing enough sebum to melt off all my makeup in this humid climate, but when I’m overseas, it shrivels up like a raisin. This does not make for … Continue reading
Whether you call them sunblocks, sunscreens or suncreams, these products have usually been associated with being a need, a functional everyday-type of product. For lazy bum arses like me, these can sometimes become an item that I apply by default, kinda like with zombie-like precision, I reach for the tube/bottle, fumble with the cap, slap … Continue reading
Even though I’ve tried out so, so many cushion-type products, I’m still excited whenever a new one comes out~ This one in particularly, from First Aid Beauty, got me a little more excited because it has this multi-coloured cushion. Can I haz rainbow unicorn cushion pleaseeeee. First Aid Beauty 3 in 1 Superfruit Color Correcting … Continue reading
So recently I’ve gotten into a mood to clear – I don’t know if this sudden surge of motivation was brought on by the horror story that Tom Hiddleston (him of the Hiddlebum) has been taken (cue sad creastfallen face here) butttt ah well, at least I’m finally making a very concerted effort to bring … Continue reading
I once read somewhere that if you encounter a word you can’t pronounce, it’s best not to try to say it out loud or even in your head until you find the exact pronunciation, or else you’ll be stuck with that certain way of enunciation. I’m not sure how much truth there is to that, … Continue reading
Bioderma is usually known more for their no-rinse micellar cleansing water (ya know, that pink-capped one?) – makeup artists swear by it, and I personally also use it on a daily basis both for makeup removal as well as some general cleansing during the day (kinda like a wet wipe). Their products probably don’t ignite … Continue reading
I love Konglish – they’re always so literal that it’s so quaint and cute. Take this item for example – it says Beauty Shot Face Blur, which is essentially telling you that with it, you’ll look like you’ve got the Beauty Shot mode on your camera on, and it literally blurs your face (so that … Continue reading

Product review to come in a bit! – Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur – SGD$27.90 Ever wished there was a real-life Photoshop button to create that soft-focus effect on your face? Well, … Continue reading
Ahoy there mateys! I know I’m not a pirate, but I’m so in a mood after watching a quadlogy of Ice Age last night – I know, I know, go ahead and judge me for watching animations. I just like me some happy time. Now that didn’t come out quite right… Anyhoos! The fourth instalment … Continue reading
Filters are so the in-thing these days – it’s like a socially-acceptable normal person’s solution to fillers and botox. Just tap, tap, tap and heyyyy my cheeks are so plump and cute and my forehead is line-less. Pores? What pores are you talkin’ about? I have none. hoho. But then again, these only exist when … Continue reading
For a (shameful) period of my life, I skipped the sunblock / sunscreen portion of my beauty regime, simply cos I was lazy. I can’t be the only one who derives a secret joy from seeing the SPF50 factor on a foundation or BB cream right? Cos this means “yay I get sun protection but … Continue reading
I’d received this sometime back but I didn’t want (or rather, couldn’t bear to open it). I guess that’s the pros and cons of creating such a beautiful press kit – it does get our attention, but then again, we can’t bear to open it.. and when we do, it’ll sit on our desk for … Continue reading
What I love about beauty shopping in Korea is the constant unearthing of gems – I’ll be strolling along the streets, pretending to be cool whilst stuffing my face with some street snack when suddenly – woah mama, is that a new beauty store I see? Although I didn’t exactly discover Espoir this way (I … Continue reading
The theme of the day shall be: HOLES. Cos my weekend disappeared into a blackhole, that’s why. Also, I firmly believe that there are some holes on a lady that should not be seen by the public – I’m talking about facial pores, you dirtyyyy minded person. This is even more so after my awesome … Continue reading
These days, the alphabets BB can mean so many things – beauty balm, blemish balm, and to me – cue a Brit accent- bloomin’ ballocks. But of course, my BB obsession doesn’t lie in the derriere; as you already know, I have enough BB creams / CC creams to form a moat around my house in … Continue reading
Although I’ve recently started experimenting with SK-II products, I still retain my never-dying love for Sulwhasoo. Here’s one of their newer products which I fell in love with at first sight (on their website). When I reached the counter in Lotte and tested it out slightly , I was totally sold. Yes yes, sucker much, … Continue reading
The Monday Blues are known to all, but this British article says that Wednesday is the saddest day of the week, and I concur. It’s not any where near the weekend, so you can’t slack off, and neither can you let loose after work cos, you know, there’s work on Thursday and Friday. I guess … Continue reading
The world is evolving much – just last week, I sat in amused silence as someone lectured me on why I shouldn’t use oil blotters cos “it will result in your skin producing more sebum because your skin becomes drier instead.” Since I’ve got years in the beauty industry, this isn’t the first time I’m … Continue reading
I love free stuff – today, thanks to Samsung, I’ve got free tickets to watch Big Bang! I’m so glad I didn’t buy them (although I did join the mad online frenzy to try to get some for my friend). Although Big Bang prolly won’t know I’m even there, it still doesn’t deter me from … Continue reading
