Review: Pixi Beauty H2O Skindrink
Despite Pixi Beauty’s Glow Mud Cleanser not living up to my expectations, I am still undaunted – I am still on the hunt for another product that’ll make me as happy as its Glow Tonic did (being the incorrigible and fervent beauty junkie I am). Pixi Beauty H2O Skindrink – SGD$34 I say… The … Continue reading
Review: Innisfree Orchid Enriched Cream
During my days as a magazine journo, I attended many a skincare briefing sessions, where I absorbed (like a parched sponge) the massive amounts of skincare and makeup information bestowed upon us by the experts. One piece of advice has stuck firmly in my mind for the last 10 years or so – “anti-ageing skincare … Continue reading
Review: La Mer The Perfecting Treatment
I once read somewhere that if you encounter a word you can’t pronounce, it’s best not to try to say it out loud or even in your head until you find the exact pronunciation, or else you’ll be stuck with that certain way of enunciation. I’m not sure how much truth there is to that, … Continue reading
Review: Bioderma Hydrabio Gel-Creme
Bioderma is usually known more for their no-rinse micellar cleansing water (ya know, that pink-capped one?) – makeup artists swear by it, and I personally also use it on a daily basis both for makeup removal as well as some general cleansing during the day (kinda like a wet wipe). Their products probably don’t ignite … Continue reading
Review: For Beloved One Melasleep Whitening Ethyl Ascorbic Acid Surge Cream
Andddd the weekend’s gone just like that. poof. On the bright side, Christmas is approaching! Now I’m not particularly a religious person (although I do respect all religions), so it’s never been a family tradition to celebrate Christmas. What I do look forward to – in a typically pragmatic Singaporean way- is the bonus. Tis … Continue reading

Review: Creme Simon Creme Universelle
Woah.. major inertia these few days – somehow, I’m still not back up to my 100% level because of the weather. Transiting from a -13 degrees to 35 degrees is kinda shocking to this old and worn body. Hah. Anyhoos, speaking of the Korean winter, here’s one item that came in somewhat useful in preventing … Continue reading
Event/Newsflash: Christmas 2014 at Etude House
Ok guys, I promise to get to my Christmas Giveaway pretty soon – I just need to upload all these posts first so that I can make your Christmas shopping that much easier and faster ( I’m no Grinch, but squeezing with crowds and angry grumpy hoards of people isn’t really my idea of getting … Continue reading
Review: CNP Laboratory Mugener Ampule
I feel like I have extraordinary control over my body – I once had gastroenteritis but I still managed to drag myself to work (that, and also because my workaholic of an ex-boss demanded that I go in). I can wake up at 4.30am on a daily basis even though I sleep at 12, and … Continue reading
Review: Alexiares & Ani The Pacifist Moisturizing Lotion
Since I was down for almost two weeks cos of the wisdom tooth thingy, I focused more on trying out new skincare stuff rather than makeup – I mean, nothing will look good on a puffed-up chipmunk with a one-side filler face. Well, if I’m forced to go on this diet, I’ll make the most … Continue reading
Review: Hanyul Seo Ri Tae Anti-Aging Essence
When I first started out as a fledgling overly- enthusiastic writer for my first magazine, I would eagerly attend all the workshops and events, trying to soak up all the information like a sponge. Turns out I didn’t soak up as much as I wanted to – I remember one scientist telling me that anti-ageing … Continue reading
Review: Hanyul Seo Ri Tae Anti-Aging Cream
So after testing out my skin age with SK-II’s Magic Ring test, I was pretty horrified to hear that my skin firmness is 39%. Dafugggggg. Forget Botox – find me some cement to prop these saggy jowls up now! After calming down and reining my inner drama mama in, I decided to just pile on … Continue reading
Review: Amore Pacific Hydrating Fluid
I seldom complain about my skin being dry, because like our local public transport during peak hours, it’s always packed full – of sebum, that it. Gross mental images aside, the recent heatwave has left my skin in tatters – literally, my lips cracked more than once despite chugging tonnes of water. To avoid having … Continue reading
Review: SK-II Stempower Cream
I’ve been meaning to review this cream but I just keep forgetting – it could be partially due to the fact that I have to keep hiding this from my brother who keeps kidnapping it to use. He claims that the tub of cream grows legs and walks over to his room. -snorts in disbelief- … Continue reading
Review: Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream
I love, love, love the Sulwhasoo Renodigm Dual Care Cream but unfortunately, my wallet doesn’t love it that much. At KRW150,000, it’s a lil pricey to be using on a daily basis (and to be re-purchasing every 2-3 months). Alas, I’ve had to search for a more affordable alternative. Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin Day … Continue reading
Review: Belif Peat Miracle Revital Cream
Sometimes, people (well fine, me instead) tend to focus more on serums and essences cos of the perceived concentration of product. It got to a point where I realised I had too many serums and not enough creams to seal the deal (and also to seal the goodness into my skin). Belif Peat Miracle Revital … Continue reading
Review: Hera Waterin Roll-On Eye Serum
I visited The Face Aesthetic Clinic for a sponsored facial a couple of weeks back (yes yes, I know I owe you guys a review on that), and I was told that I had not one, not two, but a lot of milia seed bumps at my eye area. Oh, the horror of horrors! It … Continue reading
Review: Orbis Aquaforce Moisture-M Oil Cut
After being glued to RuPaul’s Drag Race over the last 2 weeks, I’ve learned to love myself more (well, even more than my usual narcissistic levels), and that hey, having a big face can have its benefits too. Sure, I’ll prolly have to relegate myself to the back of all photos forever, but the plus … Continue reading
Review: Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate
I’m ok with both canines and felines – I can’t possibly pick between Pancake and Boo. I know some people deem pugs as adorable too, but somehow, everytime I look at them, I have a sudden urge to do Botox. It’s like seeing myself in 30 years’ time. -shriek- Since doctors (both the GPs and aeshetic … Continue reading
