How was your CNY long weekend everybardy? I’m exhausted and honestly, really glad that it’s over. I belong to one of those families who have to do the visiting – in fact, I kinda envy those who just stay home and wait for the relatives to arrive, cos then it’ll give me a chance to … Continue reading
Nong, nong ago, there was a land and time when I didn’t give two hoots about the skin and thought that calming the skin meant rubbing ice cubes on the skin. It did work to a certain extent I suppose, but these days, I know that beauty (as well as the skin irritation) goes beyond … Continue reading
I know I’ve said it once, but I will say it again – there are very few brands that have earned my undying trust, and belif is one of them. I do try tonnes of products on my skin for my review purposes, but I usually do it with some sense of trepidation – “will … Continue reading
Experience the soothing efficacies of the true tincture of chamomile! Belief has launched its Chamomile Tincture range (which I’m adoring), and so am sharing the information with you. Now, not many people know about tincture (in fact, even I didn’t know much about it until I attended the launch), so here you go! Review to … Continue reading
When I was on my trip for Laneige’s Global Beauty Camp, I learned from one of the other journos that your hands are the first signs of age betrayal (and here I was thinking it’d be the neck or the eyes). Ah well. In any case, it doesn’t matter – your body deserves to be … Continue reading
Unlike Kim Kardashian, I don’t have junk in my trunk (us normal folk just call it a big ass). However, I do have lots of gunk in my (facial) trunk though – the nose has its very own civilisation of blackheads, whiteheads, and what-nots. Because of this, I’ve recently become a hugeee fan of clay … Continue reading
These days, I’m having a really hard time keeping my eyes open – I’m not sure if it’s cos of the influx of year-end events, or perhaps it’s really age catching up with me. In any case, I’m trying to hide all signs of fatigue with makeup, and of course, the quintessential eye care products. … Continue reading
Here’s the second hamper that’s up for giveaway – now I’ve been waxing lyrical and raving about how belif’s products always, always cure my skin whenever I have some sort of major breakout, and you can finally share the love. They’ve kindly sponsored this beautifullllllllll advent calendar that contains not just 12, or 15, but … Continue reading
Ever since that crazy hoo-ha about a certain blogger having the most horrendous reaction to a facial, most of us have become a little more wary about accepting facial treatments, especioally those who have sensitive skin types. However, when I got this invite (I was checking my emails while waiting for the subway at Eujiro-1-ga … Continue reading
Coming from a very Asian and Singaporean Chinese background, I grew up eating in coffeeshops and elderly belly-rubbing old men who loved to open their wet tissues with an almighty “POP” sound. It’s just kinda bizarre – there are perforations, but no, them uncles don’t ever use it. They just clench the tissues into their … Continue reading
The last time I went on a cruise was back in 1999 with my JC classmates – yes, it was that long ago, way before the era of handphones (much less smartphones!). Why, it’s only been 15 years – of course there’s no reason to turn down the kind invite from The Face Shop, Belif … Continue reading
Although I didn’t meet my Jack when I went on the Kbeauty cruise a couple of weeks back with The Face Shop, Belif and VDL (yes, yes, s blog entry on which is long overdue, but coming up soon!), I did receive a good alternative – a first glance at Belif’s new whitening products. These … Continue reading
I’m having one of the worst breakouts ever – major sad face. I’m sprouting blemishes and spots at the most horrid place ever – the jawline, and even the neck. It’s like my puberty all over again. No wait, that isn’t neccsarily the worst thing – it means.. I’m young! YAYYYYY. Self-deluded gloating aside, I … Continue reading
Sometimes, people (well fine, me instead) tend to focus more on serums and essences cos of the perceived concentration of product. It got to a point where I realised I had too many serums and not enough creams to seal the deal (and also to seal the goodness into my skin). Belif Peat Miracle Revital … Continue reading
Now I’ve more or less given up on trying to get rid of the raccoon eyes, because to be really honest, there’s nothing that can really do that. It all boils down to getting enough sleep and having good circulation internally. In the meantime, I do what I can – I try to improve the … Continue reading
As the year draws to a close, so does my energy level. I feel all lethargic and totally in a I-wanna-sleep-till-the-cows-come-home mood. Looks like my prediction of a zombie apocalypse will come true soon – I will be the queen of all zombies, except I’ll be totally fabulous and have great skin. Despite my mindless … Continue reading
I can’t believe I actually sat on this product for more than a month before using it – this has got to be one of my most favourite items at the moment! Besides the fact that there’s a dropper delivery system (simply cos I’m frivolous and like to put some fun into my skincare regime), … Continue reading
How was everybardy’s long, long, nong nong weekend? Mine was too activity-packed that I don’t even know where to start. Heh. For those who had a getaway and came back relaxed, behold my evil jealous dagger stares. muahahaha. For those who didn’t, well, here’s something that you can do in preparation of the next long … Continue reading
It’s the Great Singapore Sale again! Now I’m not a huge believer of shopping during GSS – having to squeeze with the whole world isn’t my idea of retail therapy. What’s more, if you don’t manage to get anything that you want/like after hours of shoving, well damn, that just puts a major damper on … Continue reading
Everyday, the moment I step into my house, I have a certain routine I must go through : 1) wash my feet and 2) wash and cleanse my face. Yes yes I can be really pedantic. Yet my dad somehow has this strangest 6th sense – no matter what time of the day I come … Continue reading
