Review: Pixi Beauty H2O Skindrink

Despite Pixi Beauty’s Glow Mud Cleanser not living up to my expectations, I am still undaunted – I am still on the hunt for another product that’ll make me as happy as its Glow Tonic did (being the incorrigible and fervent beauty junkie I am). Pixi Beauty H2O Skindrink – SGD$34   I say… The … Continue reading →

Review: Kose Sekkisei White Washing Foam

So the last facial cleanser I used was like a bad ONS – looked good at first glance, but was weak and didn’t leave me feeling satisfied (not that I do one-night stands hurhurhur). I then switched over to this one in hopes of a more thorough cleanse. Kose Sekkisei White Washing Foam – SGD$35 … Continue reading →

Review: IOPE Perfect Cover Cushion

Did you know that IOPE was the first brand in Amorepacific to have a BB cushion? Granted, it’s been in the shadows of its sister brands such as Laneige, Sulwhasoo, Hera, Innisfree, Etude House, but IOPE has always had a special place in my heart because it was one of the first cushions I tried. … Continue reading →

Review: Sofina iP Base Essence / Dodai Essence

I’m not sure if it’s my recent trip to Tokyo taking over my mind, or if the resurgence of Japanese cosmetics is a real thang, but I’m finding much more motivation (and products) to review Japanese skincare these days. New to Singapore’s shores are Lauduree (the cosmetics, not the macarons), Albion’s makeup line, Astalift’s makeup … Continue reading →

Review: Pixi Beauty Glow Mud Cleanser

Now after the amayyyyzing experience I had with Pixi Beauty’s star product, the Glow Tonic, I was totally psyched up about the brand and raring to try something else. Since cleansers (to me) are a lower-commitment item, and also because this contained the same glycolic acid ingredient as its glow Tonic, I decided to try … Continue reading →

Review: Luminous Gloss treatment at 99 Percent Hair Studio

So it’s been a while – I’ve been off Tokyo trippin’ (literally, there’s so much walking I did that I tripped over my own feet several times, and also over my shopping bags heh). Since I wanted to have nice-looking hair before I headed off, I had this Wella SP Liquid Hair Treatment done at … Continue reading →

Review: Three Balancing Cleansing Oil

I used to have this misconception that “since I’ve got oily skintype, I shouldn’t use cleansing oils – why do I need the extra oil?” Alas, I couldn’t be more wrong. After all, it’s not as though the oil actually stays on the skin (or worse, absorbed in). Thankfully, the young and silly days are … Continue reading →

Review: Make Up For Ever Light Velvet Lumi-Mat Cushion Foundation

There are several variations of cushion foundations these days – there’s the one with actual cushion sponges soaked with the essence of foundation (slightly more watery in terms of texture, such as the Kbeauty ones from Hera, Laneige, Sulwhasoo etc), and there’s also this new one where there’s foundation underneath a plate surface (similar to … Continue reading →

Review: Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence

I’ve always been more of a tea person than a coffee drinker (all t, no shade gurl), so I was very excited to try out this new product from Fresh. So far, most of their products have worked pretty well for me, so here goes nothing! Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence – SGD$108 … Continue reading →

Review: Clarins Everlasting Cushion Foundation

And the list of cushion foundations goes on~! Here’s another cushion foundation that I’ve been trying out, and it’s not from a Korea brand. Instead, it’s from one of my favourite skincare brands – I remember very vividly my days of suffering from puberty pesky pimples, and Clarins was one of the first ever to … Continue reading →

Beauty News: Sisley launches the Hydra-Global Serum

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 →

Review: Eve Lom Gel Balm Cleanser

I may be a Kbeauty fanatic but it doesn’t mean I’m not open to trying brands from all around the world – especially if they’re from cult beauty brands such as Eve Lom. Evelom Gel Balm Cleanser – SGD$105 This product is formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It is good for all skin types—normal, … Continue reading →

Beauty News: Jill Stuart will be available in Singapore!

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 →

Review: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair + promo code!

The term “golden oldie” holds true in many aspects – how traditional children’s games back then were fun, how old-school playgrounds are much missed these days, how yours truly isn’t the youngest but I still iz awesome (ahem ahem), and also in the case of this product from Estee Lauder. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair … Continue reading →

Review: Shu Uemura Petal Skin Cushion Foundation

One of the first-ever non-Korean brands to impress me with their rendition of a BB cushion (well in this case, it’s called a cushion foundation) was Shu Uemura – I was a huge fan of the Blanc:Chroma Brightening UV Cushion Foundation. Next, they also won me over with their Petal Skin Foundation. And voila, the … Continue reading →

Beauty News: Suisai is now available in Singapore!

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 →

Review: Dr Jart Cicapair Serum [MUST-TRY]

Now I know I’m not the only one who’s prone to that monthly breakout along the jawline and all over the face during periods of stress (and during periods hurhurhur). I’d all but resigned myself to the fact of being a once-a-month moon face, until I came upon this. Like the Pixi Glow Tonic, it’d … Continue reading →

Review: Pixi Glow Tonic

During the last few years, there’s been some hype about “treatment essences” – which are (in my opinion) essentially toners with more skincare benefits. The traditional toner has an image of “skin softening”, “stripping”, “removing excess makeup” etc. I guess it’s a case of potayto, potahto – afterall, it’s what your skintype is, and what … Continue reading →

Review: Laneige Layering Cover Cushion – First review in Singapore!

Ooh mama! Here’s another new cushion that comes fresh from the shores of Kimchi land. Behold, the Layering Cover Cushion from Laneige -cue eyes glazing over in excitement- I’d ordered mine directly from Korea a month ago, but this will be launching in Singapore on 16 March (or sometime in mid-March) is now available instores! … Continue reading →

Review: Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion EX + swatches of all 10 shades

Yoohoo~! Didja miss me didja miss me? I’m so sorry for the hiatus  – I’ve been inundated with a lot of work and blog/instagram-related projects that I’ve neglected my blog baybeh. Meh. But fret not, cos I’m armed and ready to go with a bunch of reviews coming your way! First up, this new awesome … Continue reading →
