Oopsie. Sorry for the slight hiatus guys – I’ve been crazy busy travelling for work, and also caught up in the Christmas rush. There are just so, so many Christmas launches that I’ve had to double down to style and snap for Instagram, so if you’d like a more regular update on beauty launches, follow … Continue reading
Even since Riri threw us beauty junkies this blessing that was Fenty Beauty (the launch was insane!), I’ve been left wanting more – the initial range had all but one lip product. I was like “wait, whuttt. where the lippies at??” And now I realised that Riri had it all planned – straight off the … Continue reading
Yasssss. More lippies to hit our shores – Laneige does an annual collaboration with a fashion brand every year, with previous years covering PushButton (2014), PlayNoMore (2015), Lucky Chouette (2016) and this year’s is with YCH. Now it’s worth noting that the previous years weren’t really fashiony, but more cutesy, and now, it’s gone slightly … Continue reading
Major SQUEALS – aren’t these the cutest? I mean, Etude House definitely has an impressive track record in creating extremely whimsical, themed and princessy products, but these have certainly outdone a good majority of its portfolio. Presenting – Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tints that are shaped like miniature popsicles! Etude House Dear Darling … Continue reading
I’ve always been slightly wary of matte-finish lipsticks (even though the current trend is biased towards this finish, rather than shiny glossy finishes)- and it boils down purely to the crappy, or rather, chappy condition of my lips. On good days, my lips don’t lie (nor flake). On bad days, well, let’s just say I … Continue reading
So there are times in life when you just need to splurge on that “want” item – fineee, I admit I do have perhaps.. a few hundred lippies, but hey, this is THE lipstick to have. Yes, I haz splurged on the most expensive lippie (sorry Tom Ford) – behold, le Louboutin lippie! Christian Louboutin … Continue reading
Yoohoo~ How was your Mother’s Day weekend? I actually had a very restful one – cos le momma is so hip and happening, she jetted off overseas with le papa. Hohoho. With the extra time on my hands, I decided to do a mass clearance of the room, which unearthed these babies from Rollover Reaction. … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! The Summer season of makeup launches is almost upon us – this one from Hourglass Cosmetics is pretty decent, and already in stores, so you don’t have to twitch in anticipation (well, that’s what I do). Hourglass Girl Lip Stylo – SGD$48 Available in a hugeee range of shades from Sephora SG … Continue reading
I recently read this news about a China lady who embezzled more than SGD$400,000 from her company to fund her lipstick addiction (she bought thousands of lipsticks!). Zomg. I certainly hope I never reach that level of insanity. That aside, I still do love my lipsticks, so here’s one that I’ve been trying on lately … Continue reading
In case you haven’t heard – Mamonde is officially in Singapore! Well, almost – it’s currently being sold exclusively online at Lazada, with plans for a counter in the mid of the year, followed by its own store after that. Now although Mamonde is more known for its skincare (backed by something they call Flower … Continue reading
Make Up For Ever is one of my favourite brands to go to for intense colours – guys, this brand takes its pigmentation very seriously, especially for their lip colours. Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip Lip Paint – SGD$33 each A fluffeh tapered sponge tip Squeeze the body tube and the lip paint comes … Continue reading
In line with the upcoming Beauty and the Beast movie, I’m feeling all Disney princess-ed out, which might explain why the song Tale As Old As Time keeps repeating in my head. Imma just gonna adapt it to.. brand as old as time for Estee Lauder hurhurhur. This brand has evolved much over the years, … Continue reading
Besides the cumbersome logistics I have to encounter whenever I head to the ladies, winter has this way of cramping my makeup style. When it’s so cold that your ears, nose and cheeks are freezing, and the only way to keep them warm is to turn into a penguin by bundling up with a parka, … Continue reading
I’m in the midst of preparing for my trip to a winter wonderland soon, and I’m stocking up on everything that’s hydrating. This includes heavyduty moisturisers, nourishing body lotions and shower gel, and even the dewy-type of BB cushions that I’d normally avoid using in Singapore. I’m pondering if I should bring this new item … Continue reading
I know the entire beauty community is going gaga over the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits, but thus far, I’ve never really been highly motivated to purchase one for myself – that’s a mean feat, considering the fact that I usually buy at least 3 of each lip item that is launched. What can I say … Continue reading
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
Aren’t these the prettiest?! Laneige has launched the Two Tone Tint Lip Bar, touted to be the more moisturising cousin of the original Two Tone Lip Bar. Laneige Two Tone Tint Lip Bar – SGD$32 each A difference in the cross section of the new Tint Lip Bar (V-shaped) and the original Lip Bar (diagonal … Continue reading
I’m incorrigible when it comes to buying lippies – of course, I’d buy the entire range if I could, but that doesn’t make financial sense, nor do I have the space to store them. I’ve thus settled for buying 1 from each colour family – pink, red, orange, coral, berry. Yes yes, I know it’s … Continue reading
A new year calls for a new lipstick.. not. I know, I know, I’m just justifying. But hey, to a beauty junkie, any reason suffices hurhurhur. Anyway, I’ve just discovered this beauty brand called Mille Beaute (Mille Beauty). It originates from Bangkok Thailand, but its produceds are manufactured in Korea, so I guess you can … Continue reading
Despite my love for lip products, I’m a bit miffed that they always deteriorate after eating and drinking, and my dry lips do absolutely nothing when I try to touch up. I’ve tried several lip scrubs before, but they were sort of “messy” in the sense that you had to use your fingers / a … Continue reading
