There are several variations of cushion foundations these days – there’s the one with actual cushion sponges soaked with the essence of foundation (slightly more watery in terms of texture, such as the Kbeauty ones from Hera, Laneige, Sulwhasoo etc), and there’s also this new one where there’s foundation underneath a plate surface (similar to … Continue reading
Now I’ve never been one to apply powder to set my makeup (be it BB cushions or foundations), simply cos they would cake and make my makeup look meh. Alas, I realise it might have just been the type of powder I used (and also my level of laziness heh). Make Up For Ever Ultra … Continue reading
Now it’s not secret that I’m an eyeliner fiend – I love me some wing tips. There’s no denying the immediate effect of applying eyeliner. Your eyes instantly look bigger, brighter, and more awake. (It’s also my lazy alternative to not applying mascara, which also has the same effect, but requires more effort heh). Make … Continue reading
And yassss it’s the weekend – this is really, really long awaited.

I’m a dry poop. Nah cancel that. Hah. … Continue reading

Andddd I’m back from the States! It’s been an awesome 2-3 weeks overseas~ I walked so much, I actually clocked 100km (no joke, my pedometer attests to that). I had many long days, and it was not only my leg muscles being put to the test – my makeup had to withstand the 10 hours … Continue reading
Due to my lazyarseness, I’ve sort of given up using concealers – that, and also because I’m selectively using foundations/bb creams that have a good amount of pigmented coverage that help cover them dark eye circles (go try Etude House’s Double Lasting Foundation!). However, on days when I don’t feel like applying full-face makeup (that’s … Continue reading

I know Valentine’s Day was just over, but it doesn’t mean that it’s one less excuse to be giving loving smooches to people you love. If you’re more of the stoic kind like me, maybe applying this will entice more people into smooching you? It does give really gorgeous Kylie Jenner lips, and for the … Continue reading
I’m seriously turning into an old fogey much earlier than expected. Yesterday, I decided to forego my noon nap cos I suddenly had the motivation to watch The Avengers again. Alas – without the noon nap, I’m a walking dead at the office today. Since this has been sitting on my dressing table for a … 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

Ah, the good ole’ days. I remember when I was 18, fresh and raring to go clubbing from the sun don’t shine till the sun was frigging in my face. Back then, I’d head over to my friend’s place to prepare together (well, it was more of her preparing and me just watching), and 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
Most people dread Christmas gift shopping, but heyyyy I’ve been told I’m pretty good at gifting. But judging from the awesome previews I saw at Sephora’s Press event last week, I doubt anyone will have trouble this year (especially if you’re present hunting for a beauty junkie like me hah). Here’s a preview of what … Continue reading
Besides dressing up my lips in garishly outlandish bright colours these days, I’ve also taken it upon myself to dress up my eyes with coloured liners. What can I say? Second puberty, people! (or it could be my desperate attempt to defy the signs of ageing by dressing younger – who knows?) Thankfully, I haven’t … Continue reading
