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
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
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
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
Aren’t these the prettiest? Laneige has just launched these Ideal Blush Duos in 6 shades – and yes, like you, I’m goggling over that mint shade and wondering how it’ll turn out on my face. Laneige Ideal Blush Duo Available now at all Laneige beauty boutiques and counters at SGD$39 each. These are said to … Continue reading
Ooh this is one exciting product – I’ve been a huge fan of their Water Sleeping Mask, and they’ve even launched a Lip Sleeping Mask, but now, they’ve upped the game with an Eye Sleeping Mask -squeals and hyperventilates- I mean, how cool is it to have a leave-on mask that’s gentle and yet efficacious … Continue reading
What I love about the Korean beauty scene is that they’re constantly churning out new brands – and because a lot of them source their products from OEMs, the product quality isn’t that bad (or much of a risk) – even Mille Beaute, a Thai beauty brand, sources its brands from Korea, as well as certain … Continue reading
I have to admit I’m sometimes overly reliant on the SPF factor in a makeup product, rather than applying a sunscreen directly. I know, I know, lazy bum much. But I’m very glad to report that with this product, I’ve been diligently applying sunscreen errrrday 😀 3CE White Milk Cushion I say… The Packaging: It … Continue reading
If I ever ran a beauty brand, I’d be putting out limited editions more than 1x a year – I mean, beauties like this year’s Milkyway Fantasy from Laneige are bound to sell out sooner than you can say “Annyeonghaseyo”. Of course, R&D and production will hate me to no end heh. Anyhoos, one of … Continue reading
When I got my Star Alliance Gold status, my airport experience took a turn for the better with the lounge access – instead of rushing like a mad hatter from fashion to food joints, I could just saunter (with some fake swag) to the lounges for free food, and then sink my plush posterior into … Continue reading
I love my lipsticks cos they’re creamy, hydrating and have strong intensely pigmented colours. However, they do leave rather tell-tale signs on glasses, cutlery, and -gasp- even my cushion when I accidentally fall asleep while hugging it. The solution? Lip tints! Peripera Peri’s Ink Applying the product to my arm and cleaning it off within … Continue reading
Blushers are fun to play with – they can really change your overall outlook drastically, as evidenced very clearly last week when I attended the launch of the MAC x Chris Chang collection (and unfortunately wore a too-orange blusher that made me look washed out and yellowish). These days, I’m sticking to a safer route … Continue reading
I know this may not be the newest item, but hey, since it has a lovely Alice in Wonderland casing and I’ve never tried a BB cushion from Beyond, there’s no better opportunity than now 😀 Isn’t the collection just absolutely gorgeous? What I bought from the collection – a very well-controlled number of 2 … Continue reading
I remember mentioning in a Straits Times interview some time back that I’d take a bunch of cheaper-priced lipsticks over a single luxury lipstick – these days, I’ve changed my tune. I’ll take a bunch of any-priced lipsticks hurhurhur. Just cos I’m a lippie junkie. Tsk. I’m a hopeless caseeeeee. Anyhoos, when I first saw … Continue reading
I remember first encountering Holika Holika way back in 2009 or 2010, when they were using a model who looked very much alike to Beyonce (although I’m quite sure they don’t have the monehs to engage the Queen B herself). Anyhoo, they seem to have come a long way in terms of their brand image, … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! I know this one has been a long time coming, so I’m just gonna keep this short and sweet. Adding on to the success of their Two Tone Lip Bar that was launched in 2015, Laneige has come up with 4 new colours to add on to the 10 colours. Basically, this range allows … Continue reading
Like almost everyone in this country, the Monday engine has not started, so I was just having idle chatter with a colleague earlier. Me: “How was your weekend?” Her: -stunned silence for a good 5 seconds- “What weekend?” My sentiments exactlyyyyy. I’m always so torn between spending my weekends fruitfully lazing and recuperating at home, … Continue reading
The foundation of good makeup lies in your (pun intended) foundation – or bb cream, if you’re a Kbeauty fanatic like I am. I’m constantly on a quest to find that perfect base product that can create the illusion of good skin. Etude House’s new Big Cover range of products seem very promising – it … Continue reading
