I haven’t had much luck recently with finding an awesome new foundation/cushion foundation that’ll work wonders on my skin and long days – essentially, it’s all about that base (product) hurhurhur. Will my tides change with this Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup foundation? Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup – … Continue reading
I have this unfounded and biased love for YSL the brand, be it their leather goods or their beauty products. I have no idea why – it must be the sexay gold packagings that have dazzled me bonkers. Heh. YSL Touche Eclat Le Cushion – SGD$92 Now, the official spiel about the puff: The 1st … Continue reading
There are several variations of cushion foundations these days – there’s the one with actual cushion sponges soaked with the essence of foundation (slightly more watery in terms of texture, such as the Kbeauty ones from Hera, Laneige, Sulwhasoo etc), and there’s also this new one where there’s foundation underneath a plate surface (similar to … Continue reading
You know a thing is a trend when even the mother darling of luxury brands picks it up – when I first heard of Chanel launching a cushion foundation, I was all “Take my money (and my hidden savings) naoooo”. And voila -introducing a new member of my cushion family. Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow … Continue reading
Although Riri sings “Shine Bright Like A Diamond” like it’s a good thing, it doesn’t really apply to me in daily life when it comes to my base products (foundation/bb cushions).Don’t get me wrong – I love that hydrated, moist, dewy finish, but it has to be at strategic locations of the face, or else … Continue reading
Ooh~! It’s been a while since I was this excited about a foundation product. I mean, just look at dat black sexay glossy finish? Like many of its western brand counterparts, Guerlain has (finally) come up with a cushion foundation. Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Cushion Face: Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Cushion in porcelain Cheeks: Bobbi … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! This morning I attended the launch of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna at our local Sephora, and since I’m in Singapore which is more easterly, we actually got the products earlier than those in the US (for once!). Amidst the insanity of the huge crowds (some of whom I heard had queued up for 10 … Continue reading
I love the summer season of makeup launches – not only are the colours very bright and cheery, but also because they’re tailored for a season that’s very much like Singapore’s climate. This means an influx of everything-proof makeup – sweat, melt, transfer and budge proof. Yasssss. If only they were wallet-depleting-proof. Heh. Laneige Water … Continue reading
I’m becoming quite the fan of Bobbi Brown makeup – yes I know they do have long history of having awesome makeup, but it’s only recently that I really explored and got to know the brand better. When getting this foundation, the BA actually tried on 3 different shades, and on different portions of the … Continue reading
Thailand is certainly coming into their own when it comes to beauty brands – there’s Gino McCray, Siam Botanicals, Erb, Bisous Bisous, and now, Mille Beaute that boasts a rather girly and cutesy brand image. Mille Beaute Whitening Oil Control Cushion Matte Coverage Face: Shade 21, Mille Beaute Whitening Oil Control Cushion Matte Coverage, Cheeks: … Continue reading
In a world of fancy cutesy packaging, some products that are more simply-packaged can get lost in the midst – but I’m sure this new foundation from Shu Uemura isn’t one of them 😀 After all, it’s like me – round, short and tubs, but I still hold my own against the hordes of SYT … Continue reading
Kanebo recently (well, in October 2016) launched a new prestige brand (both skincare and makeup) with a focus on “Chrono-Beauty” – and it also features a signature “teatopia” scent created from a combination of Japanese tea flowers. I’d previously reviewed their cleanser, and now, ’tis time to move on to their makeup hurhurhur. Kanebo Full … Continue reading
It’s a new week again! It’s already the 3rd week of the new year – time passes toooo fast. This is why I’m embarking on a massive product review spree~ before everything expires (I spent several weeks in December clearing my stash, and you can’t imagine the amount of stuff I had to throw because … Continue reading
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to stop pawing at new products and get to trying/reviewing them sooner. This is a toughie for me, especially for limited edition items. I mean, c’mon, a prime example would be this Powerpuff x Peripera collaboration – look at how cute this one is! Their lipsticks are super … Continue reading
I thought the days of CC cream were over – back then, they were all the rage. These days, CC seems to stand for “ciao, ciao” to me. Hah. Anyhoos, no matter what you call them (foundations, BB cream, CC cream, DD cream, ABCD cream etc etc), they are just essentially base products that help … Continue reading
Happy 2017 everybardy! Hope yall had a good time with the festivities and the celebrations. Me, being the old fogey I am, decided to hide away from the madding crowds on NYE, and I dedicated it to clearing and packing the beauty stash. I yam now the proud owner of 3 mountains of stuff, instead … Continue reading
So I bought this a couple of months back when I was in Korea – I know, I know, I said I was slightly over the BB cushion phase, but just look at this – the cover is so pretty! And you get to choose, so how could I turn it down? SeaTree Easy Cushion … Continue reading

Yoohoo~! Now I know that BB cushions are the rage all around the globe, but for me, I’ve started using them since.. 2011 (around there?), and the hype for me is dying down. It’s rare for me to hype about a BB cushion nowadays, cos there’s always one part about it that I won’t like, … Continue reading
Considering I’m having to hop over piles of beauty products just to get out of bed, you’d think I’d have more discipline when it comes to buying new makeup items. Brain says no, heart of beauty junkie says “YASSSS BUY EVERYTHANGGG”. Here’s something I picked up from Sephora NYC when I was there last month … Continue reading
