I used to have this strange mindset that those with oily skin couldn’t do cream / stick blushers – somehow, I thought that using powder blushers would help absorb the sebum and prevent it from melting and sliding down my cheeks. Thankfully, I’ve since changed my mindset. I’m not sure if it’s because of le … Continue reading
And it’s Fridayyyyyyy! I’m in total shutdown and dressdown mode, so I’m wearing the lightweight Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream – too bad for those who have to see my face today, since it doesn’t have much coverage. muahahaha. I just don’t wanna spend too much time removing my makeup when I get … Continue reading
After coming back with more than 20kg in shopping from Korea, I now have to clear my room to make space. Yes, I know I asked for it, but a leopard never changes its spots. Similarly, I’ll never change my highlighting craze. Here’s one lil fella that I bought last year but forgot to review … Continue reading
After months of shoving my numerous bags, clutches and pouches with a sheer iron will determination into the cupboard ala sardine style and hoping they didn”t explode into an avalanche of bags, I’ve finally decided to do the right (and more money-wise) thing – I offloaded them to cash converters yesterday. Yes, unglam much isn’t … Continue reading
I love eyeliners like how Nicki Minaj loves obscenely-bright coloured hair. I think eyeliners can make anyone look like Ayumi Hamasaki, just like how Nicki prolly thinks that having a giant candyfloss ‘fro makes her look like a Victoria’s Secret model. Thus, it’s with this mindset that I carry a shopping basket on my arm … Continue reading

When people tan, they turn a healthy brown. When I try to tan, I turn lobster red first, and that fades into a vague vampirish grey. I am not kidding. This is probably nature’s way of telling me to remain the shade I was born with. After I got back from my scorchingly hot holiday … Continue reading
To the horror of The Grooming Editor, I came back from one of my Korea trips with this. Yes, there really is snail mucus in this. And no, I’m surprisingly not grossed out by it. Perhaps it’s the lack of stench (it smells more like mama lemon than anything), or perhaps it’s the fact that … Continue reading
Just in case any of you thought this was a flash in the pan blog, I’m just dropping a short update to let you guys know that I’ve been in Korea for the past 12 days. Doing what? Obviously spending all my money supporting the Korean economy in the form of beauty product purchases. I’m … Continue reading
First of all, I have to say that’s a mouthful for a name. I bet most customers just walk in asking for the “red ginseng mask”. I dare you to say it 10x without tripping over your tongue. Tony Moly Red Ginseng Premium Hydro Gel Sheet Mask – KRW5,000 (or 6,000, can’t quite remember!) I bought … Continue reading
Before I get stuck with the “rich bitch” label, I decided to do one low-end Korean brand. I discovered Tony Moly in Korea in 2009. When I found out how good it was, I went “Holy Moly!” (yes, I couldn’t resist alliterating). I’ve gone through tonnes of Tony Moly products and could spend up to $300 … Continue reading
