Since I was down for almost two weeks cos of the wisdom tooth thingy, I focused more on trying out new skincare stuff rather than makeup – I mean, nothing will look good on a puffed-up chipmunk with a one-side filler face. Well, if I’m forced to go on this diet, I’ll make the most … Continue reading

Review: Belif True Whitening Facial Sheet Mask
Coming from a very Asian and Singaporean Chinese background, I grew up eating in coffeeshops and elderly belly-rubbing old men who loved to open their wet tissues with an almighty “POP” sound. It’s just kinda bizarre – there are perforations, but no, them uncles don’t ever use it. They just clench the tissues into their … Continue reading
Review: Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Polish Remover Wipes & Nail Lacquer
Now that I’ve suddenly on a whim decided I can be the next Van Gogh of the nail art world, I’m investing a lot of time and effort into home manicures – you know, practice makes perfect (and plus I can’t quite sit still when I’m watching my dramas / movies – I must multi-task!). … Continue reading
Review: O Hui Moist CC Cushion
I can’t believe I’ve actually managed to unearth another cushion-type product from my stash. The amount of money I’ve sunk into beauty products is unfathomable (and somewhat guilt-inducing). Don’t judge me peopleeeeeee – some people splurge on bags, others on shoes, and I spend on mah face. OHui Cover Moist CC Cushion – KRW50,000 … Continue reading
Review: Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion Treatment Toner
I’m a newly converted fan of Fresh skincare products (not so much a fan of their pricing). Their products work well, and give amayzzzzing results ( I LOVE the Black Tea Mask). In fact, I’m quite happy to have found another skincare brand that works well for my skin, and I can apply away without … Continue reading
Review: AmorePacific Perfection Bloom Natural Finish Foundation
As a beauty junkie, I’m often torn between spending my hard-earned moneh on quantity or quality. On one hand, I do love having a ginormous parent-annoying stash of products to dive into, but on the other hand, my shelf is literally bending in from the weight of the stuff I’ve tried to shove into the … Continue reading
Review: Peripera Cushion Blusher
I love how the Koreans always create some sort of trend, and then the whole world of beauty junkies just follows suit (or rather, the easily suckered ones like me hah). I’m glad to report that the cushion craze has spread not only to concealers (Laneige Watery Cushion Concealer), but also to primers and now … Continue reading
Review: Etude House Skin-Fit Foundation
As much as I try to be a little dainty cute princess like Etude House’s mantra, I’m kinda more like Psy or Vin Diesel in a leotard and a tutu – horrible to watch but something you can’t take your eyes off. Hah. That still doesn’t stop me from trying out numerous Etude House products … Continue reading
Review: CNP Lab A-Clean Spot Finisher
I sometimes think that there ought to be a course on How To Pop Your Pimples properly – yes yes, like waving a “Sale” sign in my face, I know that you should not squeeze or aggravate any spots on your face, but (pun intended) face it, everyone does it. There’s really no resisting the … Continue reading
Review: Hanyul White Chrysanthemum Powder Serum
It’s a very common misconception that whitening products can be stripping, drying and harsh on the skin. Well, to be honest, some products do have such effects, but there are also others that are gentle on the skin while being relatively effective. Here’s one that I’ve procured from Korea 😀 (yeah right, that makes me … Continue reading
Review: Alexiares & Ani The Advocate Advanced Retinol Serum
I know very well the pros and cons of trying a new product – there’s always the fear of massive breakouts and bad reactions, but on the bright side, I’m always very excited at the prospect of finding a new awesome product to share with everyone. It’s a pro and con of a beauty blogger … Continue reading
Review: K-Palette 1Day Magic Series 3D Palette
Once upon a time, when I was still young and impressionable, I was pretty crazy about Japanese stuff… I think it was sometime back in 2007, when I actually went there thrice a year. It really blew my bank I daresay – I was just so impressed and enamoured with their ladies and fashion. Immaculate … Continue reading
Review: Kiehl’s Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash
Now that I’m homebound for a week cos of the wisdom tooth surgery , it’s time to catch up on the blogging and the skincare – especially since I’m so not venturing out of the house with the swollen chipmunky face. Hah. I’m basically resigned to just cleansing and the moisturising and what-nots. Since I … Continue reading
Review: L’Oreal Fall Repair Anti-Hair Fall Treatment Fall Repair 3x
When I was younger than my current 21 years of age (hurhurhur), I used to indulge in lots of frivolous activities, such as insane partying and binge-drinking (yes, not proud of it), as well as constant hair dyeing to maintain that flaming shade of red. Alas, the foolishness of youth. I’m really, really glad that … Continue reading
Review: Bioderma PhotoDerm Max Dry Touch & PhotoDerm Spot
Ahoy there mateys! I know I’m not a pirate, but I’m so in a mood after watching a quadlogy of Ice Age last night – I know, I know, go ahead and judge me for watching animations. I just like me some happy time. Now that didn’t come out quite right… Anyhoos! The fourth instalment … Continue reading
Review: Nature Republic Super Origin Waterproof BB Cream
Here’s another random thought – I sometimes wonder if I named my blog Beautiful Buns cos I was so crazy about BB creams back then. A blog named BB that’s all about the BB hurhurhur? But then again, it BB could also stand for one of my favourite catchphrases – ballocks and boomz. Ah well. … Continue reading
Review: Laneige x pushButton Serum Intense Lipstick
I have really random thoughts at times – like when I die, I wanna give people the option of wearing something more than black and white. I want people to wear animal preens too – yes, I love them prints that much. Which is why it should be no surprise that I’m squealing and cooing … Continue reading
Review: Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder
Although I do love the Korean dewy-faced finish with a glow, I do not follow trends that blindly. Like my OTT enthusiasiam for shopping, my sebum glands are also the same. Halfway through the day, I’ll be producing my own glow. Hah. That said, I’m not a fan of matte finishes too, so I’m quite … Continue reading
Review: Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask
I’m super duper excited about this product – yes, granted it’s not the newest in the market, but I do think that there hasn’t been enough hype about it. This is da bomb. As in one of the mothership bombs of masks. If you are planning to get a face mask and have some extra … Continue reading
Review: Etude House Play 101 Pencil
Ever since I did that makeup tutorial on how I usually do fierce Korean-style eyeliner, I’ve become slightly less adverse to seeing my own face (up close, HD, in 2816 x 2112 pixels), so I’ve decided to do another eyeliner-related post with accompanying photos to wake you up from your post-weekend hibernation 😀 Etude … Continue reading
