After my previous experience with the peeling gel that didn’t impress me, I decided to revert back to a good ole’ physical exfoliator. Short of picking up a sheet of sandpaper (you have no idea how clogged my skin can get in this humid and hot climate). I recalled that I’d had good experiences with … Continue reading
This morning, I happened to chance upon one of those Buzzfeed videos that showed a man somehow managing to squeeze out allll the pus and blackheads at one shot (imagine the amount of pressure he must have inflicted onto his poor skin!), as well as oddly satisfying (and vaguely gross) compilation shots of used pore … Continue reading
Some might call me extravagant, but I occasionally apply skincare products such as facial moisturiser, facial scrubs to the bodeh – hey, I should not show skin-cism (if there even is such a word!) where I only favour the skin on my face and neglect the rest of the body right? Anyhoos, when I first … Continue reading
I’m kinda glad that the beauty industry has moved on from alcohol-based toners to treatment lotions / treatment essences. I mean, you’ve got freshly-cleansed skin – it’s in the best state to soak in mucho skincare goodness right? For the last few weeks, this is what I’ve been patting onto my skin. Dr Andrew Weil … Continue reading
Phew -was that a mouthful. I’m not the biggest fan of super long product names, only on the basis that if I do like it and want to recommend my friends to use it, my goldfish memory would probably fail very spectacularly at trying to recall the name. Anyhoos, for now, I shall refer to … Continue reading
Now I was pretty sure I’d reviewed this, but omg, my ageing memory fails me. This is an effective scrub that I have planted firmly in my bathroom these days. Whenever my skin starts getting too problematic (read: bumpy, cloggy etc), I reach for this handy white little tube. Origins Modern Friction Gentle Dermabrasion I … Continue reading
I know it’s drawing rather close to Christmas (just 7 days to go!) so here are some Christmas offerings from Origins that you can consider. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, they are rather good value-for-money products worth investing in. Mask Marvels – S$68 (worth S$105) * I say: Totally a must-get! * Now as … Continue reading
For someone who’s particularly lazy to head to a facial on a regular basis, I try to accumulate a good stash of masks at home so that I can at least do some last-minute salvaging of the skin if needed. Off the top of my mind, I have Laneige’s Water Sleeping Mask for everyday awesomeness, Kiehl’s for … Continue reading
Finally! We have some respite from the haze this wonderfully breezy Thursday morning – that aside, it doesn’t mean that the past few weeks of bathing our skin in dirt-filled air should be glazed over just like that. Indulge your skin in some reparative skin-healing products, such as those from Origins. Psst: Did you know … Continue reading
Ooh. I see that this is a trend these days – micellar cleansers. Origins is the next to jump on this bandwagon of no-rinse effective wipe-away micellar cleansing waters (others I tried include Bioderma’s Sensibio H2O, Belif’s Herb Cleansing Water, Crabtree & Evelyn’s Damask Rose Relaxing Micellar Water). A little background according to the beautifulbuns: … Continue reading
If you’re having a quarter life crisis (which I’m guessing to be about 21-25), Origins has just launched two products to help address your skin’s issues. Original skin™ Retexturizing Mask: Instantly detoxifies pores and refines skin to perfect texture and enhance inner glow Original Skin™ Renewal Serum: Formulated to address Millennial skin concerns Here’s Origins’ … Continue reading
Like all normal people, I do have days when I have barely any energy to beautify myself – all I do is flail my arms weakly to get rid of the flies that are hovering above me as I stew in my own pot of zombie-like grossness. But since I clearly have a reputation to … Continue reading
It’s Friday when I can be all flyyyyyy. Actually, the only place I wanna fly to is my bed, but sigh, a beauty blogger haz to do what a beauty blogger does – be a cheapskate and attend events in hopes of getting freebies….not. (but then again, I do know of some bloggers who do … Continue reading
