And it’s almost time for the Chinese New Year! It’s time for lots of feasting – but also time for the usual dressing up and preening like a peacock~ so what should I do? Get the best of both worlds – have a lippie that allows me to feast while looking good woohoo! Clio Tension … Continue reading
I’ve been having a slight breakout recently – silly me went to apply some long-neglected cream, only to find out that it had expired – gasp- Anyhoos, I’m now recovering back to my usual blinding awesomeness, and in the meantime, I’m trying out some lightweight base products so that it doesn’t apply so cakey when … Continue reading
Author’s note: I’ve gotten quite a number of requests to do a “Best of”, or “Top picks” article based on the bazillions of products I’ve tried, and since I’m now officially also writing for AsiaOne, they’ve so kindly allowed me to post this article that I did for them onto my own blog too. Note … Continue reading
One thing I love about living in this multi-cultural city is the multitude of public holidays we get, even though we might not be from that culture. A prime example is Hari Raya Haji, which is gonna take place tomorrow – yes, yes I’m scheduled to work tomorrow, but that’s not gonna stop me (and … Continue reading
As you may have noticed, I’ve recently gone on a spate of Beauty News instead of my usual reviews, and it’s only because I’ve been sick outta my mind for the past 7 days – damn you viral fever, tonsillitis, and body aches. I was pretty much a zombie in my lil girl beauty cave, … Continue reading
– Note: This is a pure reproduction of the press information I received and is purely for sharing / informational purposes. – DARK IS THE NEW BLACK Tired eyes get a much-needed wakeup call not with expresso, but Gelpresso. This time, the Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner is back with a dark agenda and … Continue reading
And so it commences! For those who’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen several of my teaser previews by now – this Christmas season, I’ve harassed a number of brands and garnered up 15 hampers to give away for my 15 Days of Christmas Love Giveaway (for some extremely strange and unknown reason, … Continue reading
I’ve always avoided applying eyeshadows cos I have wonky double eyelids – 2 on one side and 3 on the other, which means I have to apply a double eyelid tape on only one eye (which kinda messes up the whole blending thing). But once in a while, I get in the mood, particularly when … Continue reading
I’m currently in a deluded I-wanna-be-Hyuna phase. It doesn’t matter that I’m 100kg heavier than her – Hyuna or Fat-na, I will still attempt to rock the foundation that’s 2 shades too fair and the blood-red lips. Muahahaha. You can’t stop me, you can’ttttt. CLIO Lipnicure in Tension Red Make sure … Continue reading
As much as I love Korean culture, there’s something I’ve never been able to emulate – the pout. Sure, some may call it the duck face, but it’s still adorable (assuming you don’t hold it for more than 5 seconds). Part of it can be attributed to the fact that I’ve got dry flakey lips … Continue reading
Although my wardrobe is predominantly comprised of black outfits (so much that I sometimes need a mini torchlight if I want to search for something), I do try to avoid going down the Morticia Adams road and colour it up slightly with colourful accessories (gold! bling! preens!), and these days, with bright lippies as well … Continue reading
I seldom take such a long time to recover from holidays and trips, but my recent voyage to HK has really, really drained me, no thanks to the shopping nazi. These days, all I wanna do is go home and sleep – I haven’t even been to events much. Zomg I’m almost a hermitttttt noooooo. … Continue reading
On Sunday nights, I’ll hop into bed at around 10pm, all pampered with masks and creams and what-nots and feeling like Cleopatra). In commemoration of me feeling like Cleopatra, here’s a review on me trying to be Cliopatra (hurhurhur). Ok I know that Lee Hyori is (or rather, was) the face of CLIO – it’s … Continue reading
I find that most people tend to stick to their safety zone when it comes to shopping for beauty products, myself included. Because I’m so convinced I can become Suzy, I tend to gravitate towards the section with the sweet and natural colours for eyeshadows and blushers. Just check out some of my favourite blushers … Continue reading
I’m beginning to fall deeper in love with CLIO – the brand whose ambassador is Lee Hyori, the queen of all eyeliners before Ga In came along. Not only are their products awesome, their staff give really awesome service as well! During my winter pilgrimage to Korea recently, I wandered into CLIO with not much … Continue reading
I sometimes feel like Harry Potter with a cave full of gold – I’ve got more than $400 worth of credit with Browhaus, but I haven’t been doing my eyelash extensions (which are about $120 per session). Although they make me look so fabulously doll-like and enlarge my eyes to almost Ayumi Hamasaki I-look-like-I-drank-a-lot-of-sake standards, … Continue reading
I thought that my inner highlighter monster had been subdued, but it turns out it had only been lying dormant. On my recent trip to Korea, I bought this (and several other highlighters). Why, oh why can’t I keep my money in my pocket? It’s like how Paris Hilton and Britney Spears can’t keep their … Continue reading
Considering the number of eyeliners I bought back from Korea, I’m still confused as to how I ended up having to pay for 5kg of extra baggage at the airport. I mean, they’re just eyeliners… how heavy can they get?! I could have bought so many more eyeliners with that KRW75,000 that I paid. grumbles. … Continue reading
I have mixed reactions towards Lee Hyori – on one hand, she’s not the most honourable athelete. If you’ve watched the first few episodes of Running Man, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Seriously, what’s with the hair pulling? This isn’t a bitch fight, girlfriend. It’s just a variety show. It’s not even close to … Continue reading
During the week, I like to pretend that I’m Clark Kent going incognito at work, with glasses and minimal makeup. Come the weekend, BAM! I unleash my awesomeness upon the world. Ok, I’m not really a dazzling blinding beauty, but you get what I mean. During the weekend, I get to play dress up and … Continue reading
