I think it’s been at least 4-5 months since my last hair cut/dye, and naturally, it’s not in the most prime condition (to say the least). Keeping in line with my ongoing house and body renovations (I did my first-ever bacial), I recently tried out a Shocking Clinic Hair Treatment at Walking On Sunshine -and … Continue reading
I’ve been raving about Hera’s Black Cushion for a while now (it’s a total must-try, and my current favourite BB cushion). Now that Hera is finally available in Singapore, it’s time for me to venture into other product categories – such as this Magic Starter primer/colour corrector. If I’m not mistaken, this is possibly the … Continue reading
I have to admit – exfoliation is an often-overlooked process in my skincare regime. In fact, my idea of exfoliation is manually squeezing out the black/whiteheads using my fingers and a mirror. Yes yes, horror of horrors, I know. I happened to have this newly launched product sitting in my room, and based on my … Continue reading
I just realised it’s been a while since I applied (or even tried) any blusher product – I guess that’s why I’ve been seeing my reflection rival that of a zombie extra in an apocalypse mooovie hurhurhur. Time to get back in the game with these new and limited edition blushers from Etude House. Etude … Continue reading
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
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

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
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
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
During my days as a magazine journo, I attended many a skincare briefing sessions, where I absorbed (like a parched sponge) the massive amounts of skincare and makeup information bestowed upon us by the experts. One piece of advice has stuck firmly in my mind for the last 10 years or so – “anti-ageing skincare … Continue reading
One of my makeup hacks for hustling in the morning is using a sunblock that multitasks as a primer – the last awesome one I had was Cle de Peau’s Tinted UV in rose shade. Since it totes awed me, I decided to move on to other tinted sunblocks (versus the usual whitish tinge). Sulwhasoo … Continue reading
Although Riri sings “Shine Bright Like A Diamond” like it’s a good thing, it doesn’t really apply to me in daily life when it comes to my base products (foundation/bb cushions).Don’t get me wrong – I love that hydrated, moist, dewy finish, but it has to be at strategic locations of the face, or else … Continue reading
Yasssss. More lippies to hit our shores – Laneige does an annual collaboration with a fashion brand every year, with previous years covering PushButton (2014), PlayNoMore (2015), Lucky Chouette (2016) and this year’s is with YCH. Now it’s worth noting that the previous years weren’t really fashiony, but more cutesy, and now, it’s gone slightly … Continue reading
I’ve been a little more conscientious of late, bothering with proper eyeshadows even in the wee hours of 4.30am when I’m preparing for work. And yay, what a lovely motivation in the form of these newly-launched Laneige Ideal Shadow Quads! Laneige Ideal Shadow Quad Available now at all Laneige boutiques and beauty counters at SGD$42 … Continue reading

Laneige Ideal Blush Duo Available now at all Laneige beauty boutiques and counters at SGD$39 each. These are said to … Continue reading
Yay I’ve somewhat recovered from the craziness that was the Fenty Beauty launch last week (check out swatches of their products here!). During the frenzy that was people queueing up for 10 hours and sprinting into the stores as well as the uncomfortable heat caused by the spotlights, I do notice that the range doesn’t … Continue reading
I haven’t been to Korea in a bit, (because I’ve legit run out of travel buddies to go with to the land of kimchi – really, I’ve gone with almost every other friend I know, BFF of 20 years included) so I’m really glad that they’re coming to our shores instead. Eco Luxury Beauty brings … Continue reading
So there’s this common misconception that if your skin is oily, it doesn’t need hydration – in fact, it’s quite the opposite! Because your skin’s surface is dehydrated, the skin is secreting more sebum in order to coat the surface and help prevent additional moisture loss. Alas, if only my younger brain had this bit … Continue reading
After my recent trips to Portugal and Taipei, my skin is certainly letting it all hang out – it’s going bonkers from the oh-so-dry air and pressurised inflight air. I’ve actually been slowing nursing it back to health with certain tried and trusted items (Hanyul cleanser, Belif Peat Serum, etc) as well as this new … Continue reading
Major SQUEALS – aren’t these the cutest? I mean, Etude House definitely has an impressive track record in creating extremely whimsical, themed and princessy products, but these have certainly outdone a good majority of its portfolio. Presenting – Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tints that are shaped like miniature popsicles! Etude House Dear Darling … Continue reading
