Whee I’m on a roll with the blog posts~ (and possibly turning into a big fat roll hurhurhur). Anyhoos, going to events is my self-declared cardio (okay guys, I tried), and I recently visited Clarins’ new store at Plaza Singapura. Clarins has always had a special place in my heart cos the Clarins One-Step Gentle … Continue reading
It’s a common misconception that those with oily, or combi-oily skintypes don’t require hydration (in fact, it’s something I used to think!). This is sooo untrue. Sometimes, the underlying reason for the overproduction of sebum is the skin’s natural response to trying to compensate for the lack of moisture in the skin – producing the … Continue reading
Woohoo! I must say this has been a long time coming – I’ve been hauling Jill Stuart Beauty baybehs back from Hong Kong, and depending on friends’ goodwill (as well as luggage allowance). But yay, gone are the days when I haz to do that, cos Jill Stuart Beauty will be launching in Singapore on … Continue reading
So I’ve heard rave reviews about Suisai – the new It thang to come from the shores of Japan. Suisai is a mid-price Japanese skincare label under Kanebo, a leading Japanese cosmetics group. Since its introduction in 2005, suisai has become a household name in the Japanese beauty scene for its honest, reliable offerings that … Continue reading
Ever since I started work as a fledgling journalist in 2006, I daresay I’ve seen my share of beauty brands and products. Some of them come and go (it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… gone in 1 year -poof!-), whilst others withstand the test of time because of good product quality and a unique … 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
Aren’t these the prettiest? Laneige has just launched these Ideal Blush Duos in 6 shades – and yes, like you, I’m goggling over that mint shade and wondering how it’ll turn out on my face. Laneige Ideal Blush Duo Available now at all Laneige beauty boutiques and counters at SGD$39 each. These are said to … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! This morning I attended the launch of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna at our local Sephora, and since I’m in Singapore which is more easterly, we actually got the products earlier than those in the US (for once!). Amidst the insanity of the huge crowds (some of whom I heard had queued up for 10 … Continue reading

Omg guys this has got to be one of the prettiest limited editions to ever come out from Laneige! I’m not gonna say much – the pictures themselves will do the talking (and the money in your wallet will probably do the walking.. into their cash registers hurhurhur). My Instagram shot of these beauties 😀 … Continue reading
So I saw these in Korea when I was there in May this year, but I did not buy any. Reason? Because I couldn’t decide which colour to get . Knowing myself, I’d probably have bought 50 of them and ended up exceeding my luggage limit hurhurhur. Anyhoos, now that they’re in Singapore, bringing them … Continue reading
From convos with friends and family, I’ve come to realise that teeth whitening services can be pricey, and that drinking coffee/smoking can cause your teeth to lose their sparkling white demeanour faster than expected. If you’re looking for a safe and affordable alternative, perhaps you can try iWhite. Its range of products were among the … Continue reading
The foundation of good makeup lies in your (pun intended) foundation – or bb cream, if you’re a Kbeauty fanatic like I am. I’m constantly on a quest to find that perfect base product that can create the illusion of good skin. Etude House’s new Big Cover range of products seem very promising – it … Continue reading

Now I’m a fervent fan of Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque – I use it almost daily and it’s gentle enough to not dry out the skin, and yet efficient enough to remove all the icky gunk that’s stuck in the pores. Imagine my excitement when I found out that Kiehl’s now has … Continue reading
Ok, somebody needs to stop me from rushing over to Chanel to hurl my moneh at them – these new products look so gorgeous, and more importantly… no, there’s no “more importantly”. It’s Chanel, period. — For women who don’t want to choose between colour, shine and lip care, CHANEL has created ROUGE COCO STYLO. … Continue reading
I may not always be the bag ‘ho, but Chanel is a brand that’s definitely worth lusting over. Alas, my salary (and my prgmatism) do not allow me to indulge in one of their oh-so-gorgeous leather bags, but hey, I think I could afford to get myself one of these babies. COCO MADEMOISELLE is … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! How’s your 2016 coming along so far everybardy?
