Woohoo~! One of the world’s largest beauty brands has launched its own cushion foundation! And yes, I know I’m about.. a couple of months too late, but hey, better late than never right? After all, L’Oreal would say the same thing – they are jumping on the cushion foundation bandwagon several years after the Korean … Continue reading
Some girls make the resolution to lose weight every year; I make the resolution every month to not buy any more new makeup. But when I attended the official opening of Etude House’s Vivocity branch, I absolutely could not say no to these. Why is my resolve so weakkkkkk. Etude House Dream Swan Eye … Continue reading
And it’s Friday! Now I’m usually all jolly (kinda like the Santa man with the big belly and all), but today, I’m red for all the wrong reasons. Damn you cheating lying scumbag of a barefaced lying -bleep- selling from Taobao. Humph. I’ve blogged about it in full detail so that you guys will know NEVER … Continue reading
Everyday when I do my makeup, I think about days when I was young – no, no, not those days when I was 18 and still had fresh bouncy skin (which, ahem, I still (think I) have). I’m talking about toddler age – I was merrily running amok in the house and my parents totally … Continue reading
Right, so it’s that time of the year again where I harangue, beg, plea and bugger everyone into tossing a vote my way. Yes I’ve been shortlisted for the Best Beauty Blog awards again. Before you go “whuttt, again?!”, lemme explain my rationale for joining the Best Beauty Blog again this year. I know I … Continue reading
You know, despite technology having evolved so spectacularly, I’m surprised that no one has invented a vitamin supplement/breakfast/meal lipstick – based on the amount of lippies we ladies ingest, I’m sure it could accumulate a meal at some point. Imagine… strawberry lipstick that you can eat and get the goodness of berries and antioxidants while … Continue reading
And it’s Monday again~! I’m considering doing a theme for my blog – Mei mei Mondays anyone? (Mei mei 美美 is a more casual and colloquial term in mandarin taken to mean pretty). Not sure if that’ll ever start trending, but hey, at least one awesome trend is the BB cushion. And yes, true to … Continue reading
Now I’ve been whining about my crappy lips for a bit – and I’ve always been the sort to take action rather than to be an annoying mouth warrior, so I’ve been hunting around for suitable lip soothers. Besides slathering on Vaseline at night before I sleep, I also liberally slather on lots of lip … Continue reading
I can’t stop yawning today, and I can’t figure out if it’s a “I-wanna-fall-asleep” yawn or a “I-can’t-wake-up” yawn. Ah well, I’d better make sure that I cover my mouth when I do, and if I forget to do so, my lips better be adorned with a pretty lip colour. Today’s choice of lipstick – … Continue reading
I’ve become somewhat addicted to swatching lately – the big mess and major usage of tissue/cleansing wipes aside, I actually find myself searching online for colour swatches to aid me in my purchase decisions. And hey, since I set up this blog with the purpose of being a useful blog, I’ve decided that I should … Continue reading
Helloooo everybardy! How was your weekend? I was busy busy busy (as those of you who follow me on Instagram should know) – I was busy getting up close and personal with a certain Kbeauty brand that will be making its way to sunny Singapore at a more accessible location soon! (updates to come very … Continue reading

Review of the product to come soon! – Make Up For Ever launches Aqua Matic, a new eyeshadow collection and 2 new colours for Aqua Rouge Essential for women seeking reliable products that resist … Continue reading
As the festive Chinese New Year draws upon us, everything turns a vague shade of red – from clothings in stores to makeup items even. I’ve never been a fan of wearing red to visit relatives (it’s essentially a bullseye for them to hone in on me and ask those well-meaning but vaguely intrusive questions … Continue reading
During my crazy weekend as Maid Of Honour for the BFF’s wedding, I had to take on all the tasks for the day – this included being personal butler, head coordinator for all her 14 bridesmaids (yes she had that many), PR liaison for the Straits Times photographer who came down to cover her wedding … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago, I attended this wonderful Christmas luncheon with Fresh Beauty – it was one of the best events so far, simply cos it was a casual and cosy get-together, as well as a preview of their Christmas sets this year (which I’m totally aiming for – call me a hoarder, but … Continue reading
I never gave a second thought to swatching products – I mean, you just dab it onto your skin and you’re done right? I’m soooo wrong. A couple of weeks ago, I witnessed firsthand how much effort goes into swatching a product for a blog entry, especially when there were over 100 shades ZOMG. That’s … Continue reading
A couple of days ago, I had a visit with SkinLab the Medical Spa, and the doctor told me that I was lucky to have what everyone wanted these days – aegyo sal (aka the puffy portions under the eyes). For those of you who want this but are adverse to drinking 1 litre of … Continue reading
Most people dread Christmas gift shopping, but heyyyy I’ve been told I’m pretty good at gifting. But judging from the awesome previews I saw at Sephora’s Press event last week, I doubt anyone will have trouble this year (especially if you’re present hunting for a beauty junkie like me hah). Here’s a preview of what … Continue reading
Fellow beauty junkies, I know that like me, you will understand the satisfaction and excitement of purchasing a beauty product and getting a bucketload of sample-sized freebies alongside. But you know what’s better than simply indulging in yourself? Sharing the love – buying a full-sized product, getting travel-sized freebies in a pretty pouch AND providing … Continue reading
I have a dream – a relatively superficial one at that (forgive my bimboness – I really can’t think deep thoughts at 5am in the morning). One day, I want to be able to apply eyeliner in a moving vehicle – yes, that’s right, you heard me. I want to attempt the impossibru. This will … Continue reading
