Following on from my previous tutorial on how to do Korean Eye makeup, here comes my tutorial on how I do Korean gradient lips. It’s kind of a subtle increment in colour intensity culminating at the centre of the lips – presumably so that it will look like cherry and oh-so-fresh and succulent and make … Continue reading
When I first started blogging, I knew I had to stick to one mantra – to blog everyday. I wanted to create fresh content everyday so that if (and when) people got bored, they would know where to head to for some frivolous review. These days, I’m really glad that I’ve managed to stick it … Continue reading
Time does heal everything, including over-permed frizzed out maggi mee hair. Note to self and everyone else – do not indulge that itchy backside and perm your hair twice in a span of 6 months. It does not end well. Hah. After a year of bitching, moaning, whining and resisting Jei’s efforts to chop off … Continue reading
Come one, come all – it’s been a barrage of events last week! For the Shiseido family, it started with young lil’ sista Za launching its Rich-Glam Liquid Rouge on Thursday, and then big sista Shiseido took the stage with its Spring Summer 2014 collection. Here’s what you can look forward to 😀 Blinded by … Continue reading
I’ve always been a reluctant one when it comes to hair cuts, but now, finally, for the first time in my life, I have a perpetual urge to chop off my locks. Perhaps once my damaged locks are removed, I can go from Medusa to Sedusa. Meanwhile, I guess I can make the best of … Continue reading
Synonymous with Korean culture is their love for BBQ meats with soju, and boy, do I love those too. What’s more, in Singapore, there is BBQ meat buffet – for about $25 per pax, you can stuff your face full of meat. nom nom nom. However, the downside is that the meat fumes always get … Continue reading
It’s about 36 hours before I fly off to Korea and turn myself into a giant over-padded penguin snowbun. I know I should be more excited, but zomg the stress of panic packing outweighs the excitement. What if I forget to bring something, especially a makeup or skincare item? Now, I don’t usually take photos, … Continue reading
I’ve recently become a tad bit more adventurous in my makeup routine, going to the extent of trying on various lip colours. Being a typical girl, I second-guess myself and flood my pals with selcas (Korean term for self-taken shots) via Whatsapp. What’s more, my selcas would be taken while I’m wearing my crappy home … Continue reading
Even when I’m physically present in the country, I’m still travelling. In the last couple of weeks, I was in Korea with Laneige’s opening at Ion, and Belif’s workshop. I then crossed the sea to reach Japan with Pansonic’s Beauty of Empowerment workshop and now Shiseido’s Ma Cherie and Senka preview. New brands in Singapore? … Continue reading
One of the greatest pleasures in life is being able to rub your eyes. Well, that’s one of mine. There’s just something so extremely satisfying about being able to rub the balls… eyeballs. Perhaps this is how guys feel when they rub / cup their balls. Hmmm. Anyway, when I’ve got makeup on, I clearly … Continue reading
Last night, I had dinner with my beloved girlfriends at Todamgol, a Korean restaurant with a huge range of rice wines (막걸리 pronounced makkeoli). Despite the general consensus that Singapore Airlines’ cabin crew are getting uglier by the batch, and that their standards are dropping, I’m damn proud to say that my girls are gorgeous. … Continue reading
