Just a short blog post on these pretties from The Face Shop – I daresay this is the star of the collection (in my opinion), and not just for their super cute packaging. The Face Shop x Disney Watery Lip Tints – $8 each First Impressions: Just for the purpose of this swatch post, I … Continue reading
Following my earlier post on the swatches for this collection’s Ink Gel Stick, here comes a post on the Colouring Stick Eyeshadow. Since I didn’t manage to spend a long time with these, I’ll just leave you with my brief first impressions as well as the swatches 😀 The Face Shop x Disney Pixar Colouring … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! I was introduced to these products a couple of weeks ago at a cosy dinner with The Face Shop peeps, and I’m super excited about them! I mean, the packaging itself is reason enough to be saying “take all my monehhhhh”. This is the full range – I’ll be posting up swatches of those … Continue reading
Even in the beauty world, there’s evolution – what started as a BB cream, which then evolved to CC creams/ BB cushions and now CC cushions. Why, even the Western brands have no choice but to hop aboard this bandwagon (yes! finally, an Asian-led beauty revolution!). I mean, it really is way more convenient to … Continue reading
Author’s note: I’ve gotten quite a number of requests to do a “Best of”, or “Top picks” article based on the bazillions of products I’ve tried, and since I’m now officially also writing for AsiaOne, they’ve so kindly allowed me to post this article that I did for them onto my own blog too. Note … Continue reading
Now it’s been a while since I reviewed a Korean BB cushion – they were unfortunately buried so deep in my stash that I actually forgot I had them. I only unearthed them last week when my dad forcibly evicted all my paper bags of beauty stuff in order to clean the floor space beneath … Continue reading
Phew! That was a doozey – I’ve been down for a whopping 12-13 days and it’s definitely taken a toll on this ageing bodeh. I’m finally back at work and getting back into the swing of thangs -sorry for the hiatus guys, please don’t stop loving meeee 😀 I’m currently a ghastly 50 shades of … Continue reading

Now I know I’m usually all jolly and merry (with a happy belly), but this morning, I’m in such a grumpy angsty mood – in fact, the only way anyone can outdo me is if they were to simultaneously break all their lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes at the same time while having a strand of … Continue reading
Now I just realised that I haven’t done a proper round-up of products since my last BB cushion face-off, and since I’m in a mood (aka I have verbal diarrhoea but no unfortunate soul to inflict it upon), you guys shall be it~ I’ve tried my fair share of treatment toners / watery essences / … Continue reading
My arms are feeling more toned these days , and not because I’ve been going to the gym (although the nonstop shopping has helped a bit). In fact, the reason why I say that is because of all the skin-boosting-treatment-toners I’ve been using. Whether it’s the Hera Cell Essence, IOPE Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning, Missha … Continue reading
I’d received this sometime back but I didn’t want (or rather, couldn’t bear to open it). I guess that’s the pros and cons of creating such a beautiful press kit – it does get our attention, but then again, we can’t bear to open it.. and when we do, it’ll sit on our desk for … Continue reading
I’m back from Korea! I was totally supposed to be cool and a perfect weather for me to parade all my trenchcoats. I was so looking forward to strutting stylishly down the streets of Myeongdong as though there was an imaginary fan blowing in front of me #likeaboss. But instead, it was exasperatingly warm, as … Continue reading

The last time I went on a cruise was back in 1999 with my JC classmates – yes, it was that long ago, way before the era of handphones (much less smartphones!). Why, it’s only been 15 years – of course there’s no reason to turn down the kind invite from The Face Shop, Belif … Continue reading
It’s no secret that I’ve got enough eyeliners to draw directional lines on a highway (well, if my eyeliners were white), so what the hell, here’s another eyeliner review – except that this time, this. is. da. bomb. This has got to be one of the most everything-proof eyeliners I’ve ever come across 😀 The … Continue reading
Andddd I’m back from almost 2 weeks in Seoul. Didja miss me hurhurhur? 😀 See, spending so much time hasn’t lessened my shamelessness by one bit, no sir no way. I sometimes think I’m really nuts – to come back on time for work, I took a flight that landed at 1am, zipped out of … Continue reading
I’m not a huge fan of reviewing mascaras, simply because I don’t know where to look when I’m taking photos heh. In fact, I do believe I go vaguely crossed-eyed. But oh well, a beauty blogger must do what a beauty blogger does – be fair and square in doing reviews in order to deliver … Continue reading
As a beauty blogger, it’s really essential to put your best face forward – not just to have a pretty face, but also to have a consistent branding. For me, I usually trust my accountant friend to split the bill after a girls’ night out; similarly I’d trust a beauty blogger who can apply makeup … Continue reading
