I just realised it’s been a while since I applied (or even tried) any blusher product – I guess that’s why I’ve been seeing my reflection rival that of a zombie extra in an apocalypse mooovie hurhurhur. Time to get back in the game with these new and limited edition blushers from Etude House. Etude … Continue reading
Aren’t these the prettiest? Laneige has just launched these Ideal Blush Duos in 6 shades – and yes, like you, I’m goggling over that mint shade and wondering how it’ll turn out on my face. Laneige Ideal Blush Duo Available now at all Laneige beauty boutiques and counters at SGD$39 each. These are said to … Continue reading
Yoohoo! How was your weekend? I spent it somewhat constructively trying to sort out my makeup, and I realised I’d yet to review these, which I’ve been using for a while already. Well, as they say, let’s share the love. Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder Antigua: Darker pink-nude shade Maui: Pink Santa Barbara: Gold-sheened coral-pink … Continue reading
This product is proof that you shouldn’t judge someone (something) by its first impressions. During one of my hover-around sessions in Sephora whilst I waited for gal pals to complete their hauls, I’d actually swatched this on the back of my hands, and found there to be some very fine gold shimmers which don’t’t usually … Continue reading
Many a time, I’ve been accused (rather accurately) of hoarding makeup – I mean, they’re so pretty, how can I bear to use them right right right? No? Ah well, at times, I do give in and (gasp) tarnish the pristine condition of the products, such as this one from Guerlain. If it looked pretty … Continue reading
Andd I’m back from Portugal! I was there for a few days – and I must say, it is such a beautiful and lovely European city. The Lisbonners were so friendly and nice and totally brought a smile to my face every time I chatted with them. Combine that with the lovely Spring weather, I … Continue reading
I’ve recently been slightly obsessed with Sistar’s Shake It video (I know, I’m about a year too late). Heh. Anyway, after binge viewing their live performances, I noticed that Bora’s blusher covers more than the apples of her cheeks – which I love – and they make her look so fresh and summer-ready. This has … Continue reading
Whenever I reviewed blushers in the past, I would inadvertently draw reference to Pikachu’s cheeks if I were to become too heavy handed in application. I guess now that Pokemon Go is all the rage, looking like the game’s mascot isn’t all that bad (just don’t wear an all-yellow onesie else people be throwing balls … Continue reading
After blogging for several years, I have learned a new meaning of the phrase “body love”. I now appreciate my wrists and forearm portion very mucho – because that’s where I do lots of swatching. When you have to swatch 10 lipstick shades, you somehow learn how to mentally portion out your arm so that … Continue reading
Oh hai there~ it’s just me, emerging from beneath my mountain/cave of beauty products, clutching this victoriously after suffering from a beauty-valanche of products last weekend. Dear house-organisation/storage systems experts, pleaseee send me some professional help? Until there, I can only seek solace in the warm embrace of my products, such as this cute cushion … Continue reading
Ahh~ I think back fondly upon the days when I first started using blushers – back then, we didn’t have much choice, cos it was mostly powder blushers. These days, the range is much varied, from cream to stick to mousse and even cushion-types. My current blusher is this stick one from 3CE. 3CE Creamy … Continue reading
Happy Hari Raya everybardy! I wish I could be sleeping in like most of yall, but since I gotta work, today’s product will be a true reflection of my expression at the moment. Behold~ Missha x Line Friends Tension Blusher It comes in a range of 6 colours Wearing VL01 Lavender Basket: A beautiful, … Continue reading
Blushers are fun to play with – they can really change your overall outlook drastically, as evidenced very clearly last week when I attended the launch of the MAC x Chris Chang collection (and unfortunately wore a too-orange blusher that made me look washed out and yellowish). These days, I’m sticking to a safer route … Continue reading
Sometimes when I’m rushing for work in the mornings, I forget to apply blusher, which results in a ghastly pale apparition, especially when combined with my half-damp hair (I know, I know, but every 5 minutes spent snoozing in bed is totally worth it hurhurhur). Anyways, this has become one of my latest faves (slightly … Continue reading
I remember first encountering Holika Holika way back in 2009 or 2010, when they were using a model who looked very much alike to Beyonce (although I’m quite sure they don’t have the monehs to engage the Queen B herself). Anyhoo, they seem to have come a long way in terms of their brand image, … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! I know at times we can get a bit lazy when it comes to our beauty regime – after waxing my brows at Benefit, I’ve suddenly gotten into the groove of drawing my brows (psst: you should do it to, cos only in the month of May, all proceeds raised from their brow waxing … Continue reading
The ombre lip trend may be dying down, but my heart still skips a beat whenever I see a gradient product (that, and Chris Evans’ biceps flexing in Capt’n America -drools- hurls my panties at him). Insane fangirling moment aside, this product is one that can also emulate that natural flush that comes to my … Continue reading
And it’s Monday and life sucks againnnnn. I kid, I kid. I have a lot to be thankful for in my life, and though I may suffer from the Blues like everyone else, it doesn’t mean I can’t see the positives and draw cheer from them (such as from these gorgeous cheek colours from Tom … Continue reading
I remember that there was one time I was literally on my knees in an Olive Young in Korea, desperately trying to get a particular shade of Peripera’s cushion blusher that was stuck in a giant pile at the back of a shelf – those were good times when my creaking knees would actually support … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! How was your weekend gais? Sorry for the slight hiatus again – I zoomed over to Hong Kong for a weekend jaunt (will blog about that very soon!), and it was such a fast and furious thing that I’m all red-faced now from the flurry of activities. In fact, the flush I got from … Continue reading
