I’ve been a loyal fan of Nudestix’s Magnetic Eye colour for a while now. It has amayzing longwear power, which is great for my oillids. However, I do note a pro (or con, if you will) – true to its name, it really stays on your eyelids. However, this means that blending (after it has … Continue reading
I’ve been a little more conscientious of late, bothering with proper eyeshadows even in the wee hours of 4.30am when I’m preparing for work. And yay, what a lovely motivation in the form of these newly-launched Laneige Ideal Shadow Quads! Laneige Ideal Shadow Quad Available now at all Laneige boutiques and beauty counters at SGD$42 … Continue reading
As much as I love my makeup, eyeshadows are something that unfortunately don’t have much fate with my eyes – it’s essentially a combination of the local humidity and the oil lids that don’t make for a long-term relationship. And yes yes, I know that primers are useful too, but hey, if I’m gonna be … Continue reading
I’m still salivating over this year’s Christmas collection from Laneige, themed Milkyway Fantasy. There are two limited edition shades for their Two Tone Lip Bar (swatches here), and there are also two limited edition shades for their Two Tone Shadow Bar. Laneige Two Tone Shadow Bar Milkyway Fantasy edition Christmas 2016 – SGD$38 each A … Continue reading
Following my earlier post on the swatches for this collection’s Ink Gel Stick, here comes a post on the Colouring Stick Eyeshadow. Since I didn’t manage to spend a long time with these, I’ll just leave you with my brief first impressions as well as the swatches ð The Face Shop x Disney Pixar Colouring … Continue reading
You know, I think these beauty brands could be on to something really lucrative – just continue doing collaborations with characters and you’ll be rolling in the moneh~! I mean, just look at the Holika Holika x Gudetama, Beyond x Alice in Wonderland, Missha x Line Friends, Apieu x Rilakkuma, Lapcos x Disney, and Missha … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! I’ve just gotten my hands on this super adorable tin can of eye and lip goodies! I absolutely love, love the trend of character x beauty product collaborations, such as Gudetama x Holika Holika, Alice in Wonderland x Beyond, Missha x Line Friends etc, and now, there’s this uber cute grumpy Snow White on … Continue reading
Yoohoo~ how was your weekend everybardy? I attend the launch of the MAC x Chris Chang range (which I’ve already swatched here). MAC is awesome for its multiple launches (which can be a pro for the beauty junkie and a con for the wallet), and the Vibe Tribe collection is one of its key launches … Continue reading
Hola~! I know yall have been waiting for this one – sorry for the slight delay. Le Cushions had to be done first (and I’ve still got the Shu Uemura one left to review!). Anyhoos, after the successful launch of Laneige’s Two Tone Lip Bar last year, they’ve decided to come up with 4 new … Continue reading
Don’t you just love Spring/Summer season of each year? I know, I know, it doesn’t make much of a difference since I live in Singapore where it’s summer all year round, but I’m talking from a beauty junkie’s point of view. ‘Tis the season for the launch of new makeup items, and they’re always so … Continue reading
I think the reason why I never took a fancy to The Walkng Dead was because I am sort of the walking dead. Every morning at 4.30am, I drag my carcass out of bed (sometimes with a moan and a groan, other times with a grunt and a lurch), and commence that half-dead feet shuffle … Continue reading
And it’s the end of the week! It’s a particularly good Friday for me today, cos I’ll be having a staycation yayyyyyy. Anyhoos, since I’m gonna be spending my time indoors and not having to contend with the madding crowd, I’ve decided to leave the face paint at home – even this one that I’ve … Continue reading
Some girls make the resolution to lose weight every year; I make the resolution every month to not buy any more new makeup. But when I attended the official opening of Etude House’s Vivocity branch, I absolutely could not say no to these. Why is my resolve so weakkkkkk. Etude House Dream Swan Eye … Continue reading
Everyday when I do my makeup, I think about days when I was young – no, no, not those days when I was 18 and still had fresh bouncy skin (which, ahem, I still (think I) have). I’m talking about toddler age – I was merrily running amok in the house and my parents totally … Continue reading

Review of the product to come soon! – Make Up For Ever launches Aqua Matic, a new eyeshadow collection and 2 new colours for Aqua Rouge Essential for women seeking reliable products that resist … Continue reading
I used to think that eyeliners were all that I needed to get that glamourous, night-out look. I guess that was also back when policemen wore shorts. or something. Hah. Boy was I lazy then.These days, I’ve upgraded my look with more eyeshadows (and downgraded my wallet’s contents in the process), simply cos the eyeshadows … Continue reading
I’m feeling particularly festive (even though it’s not Christmas yet) simply cos I’ve been noticing lots of bling and shine in each brand’s makeup collection. Hey, I’m not complaining – like how I never turn down animal preens, I also never turn down a blinged-up item. In fact, if I wasn’t worried about being STOMP-ed, … 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 never gave a second thought to swatching products – I mean, you just dab it onto your skin and you’re done right? I’m soooo wrong. A couple of weeks ago, I witnessed firsthand how much effort goes into swatching a product for a blog entry, especially when there were over 100 shades ZOMG. That’s … Continue reading
I’m not usually a fan of eyeshadows, but when I saw this, I couldn’t resist, simply cos: 1) it’s limited edition collaboration between Jill Stuart and Innisfree (ok fine, it’s not really the most important reason), and 2) it’s such a pretty glittery colour ð Innisfree X Jill Stuart Shadow Pencil – KRW7,500 I say… … Continue reading
