When I got my Star Alliance Gold status, my airport experience took a turn for the better with the lounge access – instead of rushing like a mad hatter from fashion to food joints, I could just saunter (with some fake swag) to the lounges for free food, and then sink my plush posterior into … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! I’m guessing you guys have heard of storm chasers? Well I’m a legit sun chaser – I always have to check out the sunlight before I can take any of my Instagram or blog photos, cos these provide the best lighting. I suppose the megawatt smile on my face (grinning like a Cheshire cat) … 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
Helloooo everybardy! How was your weekend? I was busy busy busy (as those of you who follow me on Instagram should know) – I was busy getting up close and personal with a certain Kbeauty brand that will be making its way to sunny Singapore at a more accessible location soon! (updates to come very … Continue reading
Alright I confess – the short hiatus is because I’ve been insanely busy that I’m only snoozing about 4 hours per day. But hey, at least the Beauty News keeps coming right right right? Forgive meeeee. These days, the skin is going ballistic (that’s what 40 combined hours of inflight cabin air + lack of … Continue reading
– Note: This is a pure reproduction of the press information I received and is purely for sharing / informational purposes. – TIE DYE This summer, Dior takes the spirit of tie-dye seen among the house collections and interprets it for the skin. Colours fluctuate, stretch and transform, as though saturated by light, from hypnotic … Continue reading
– Note: This is a pure reproduction of the press information I received and is purely for sharing / informational purposes. Check out my review of shade 999 here – Presence. Shine. A prism brings color to life, making it radiant. This tale of light began in 1981, when the first House of Dior … Continue reading
Forget the whole debate about the chicken and the egg – one discussion that I refuse to be drawn into is whether it should be pronounced po-tay-to or po-tah-toe. In the end, we’re still talking about the same product – yummy, delicious starchy carbohydrates that take the form of fries, mashed potatoes and even chips (that add … Continue reading
Now I’ve been going on and on like some geriatric old bag lady about the Singapore Blog Awards 2014 and trying to scavenge votes from everyone – well, today was the Awards Ceremony at 11am. I am really, really thankful that Dior very, very kindly sponsored my look for the day. I don’t care if I have … Continue reading
Although the job of a journalist/editor seems really glamourous from far, there are really a lot of uncool things that we do – such as eating at our tables whilst trying to avoid being buried alive by an avalanche of press kits, staying late in the office till 3am for final checks of the ozalids, … Continue reading
I’ve never been one to place emphasis on my lips, choosing instead to focus on my eye makeup instead. However, after the launch and experience with the Dior Addict Fluid Stick last week, I’m a lippie convert. Smoochie coochies anyone? Food and refreshments that are too pretty to eat – seriously, a bunch of … Continue reading
How can you tell when a brand is major luxe? It’s when you arrive on the dot but it’s already teeming with people, which swells to a crowd of more than a hundred. It was the first time I ever found myself perspiring in the cold of a department store. Such is the allure of … Continue reading
Although the simple idiot-proof questions seem like a rather frivolous method of doing my recent frenzy of giveaways, things aren’t always what they seem -cue dramatic movie music – I’ve actually been conducting my very own market research using those questions, and one of the things I’ve realised that is that my readers want to … Continue reading
Leave it to the prestige brands to take it to a higher level – Dior redefined my existing notion of cosy at their Pre-Fall bloggers’ event . I knew any Dior event was gonna be posh-nosh, but I didn’t expect to be in a room with 5 other bloggers. Yes, it was -that- cosy. -cue … Continue reading
I’ve been told that I’m ridiculously confident deluded. If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that I not-so-secretly think that I’m Miss A’s Bae Suzy. In the same world of delusion, I actually believe advertisements like these – that if I use their products, I’ll look as gorgeous as her. Besides the DiorBlush from … Continue reading
It’s been some time since I’ve used powder-anythings, whether it’s a powder two-way cake or a powder blusher. I guess I just prefer things wet and moist hurhurhur. But seriously, in our country where it’s so insufferably humid, any powder-based makeup item just bakes into a cake of sebum and dirt in a matter of … Continue reading
I’ve recently discovered the joy of playing with my puckers – I hadn’t had the balls to do so for fear of looking like an escaped maniac clown. However, after my makeup lesson with my pal Larry Yeo (who also happens to be ELLE’s makeup artist of the year – congrats!!), I’ve discovered that it … Continue reading
I’m the first to admit that I’m a sucker for packaging. In fact, my bro has likened me (and most women) to crows – attracted to anything shiny and sparkly. I don’t disagree. 😀 I guess that’s why I was attracted to this Dior Prestige satin Cleansing Cream. Come on, it’s in a big white … Continue reading
I had the most traumatising experience yesterday – I went to the dentist for a check-up. There’s just something about the dentist that scares the ballocks off me – the half-obscured faces, the many metal sticks prodding your mouth, lying flat on your back and being unable to move, having to regulate your breathing and subconsciously worrying about saliva accumulation etc. Of … Continue reading
