As we acclimatise to the new norm of having to wear a mask to keep safe (at least until a vaccine is discovered), it doesn’t mean that we should give up on the old norm – and by that, I mean doing proper grooming and looking presentable. After being summoned back to the office after … Continue reading

[Launch / For Sale] Handcrafted Mask Chains for sale
As a kid, I’ve always been interested in arts and crafts – I was even selected to join the Art Elective Program back then. With the onset of the pandemic, I’ve decided to indulge my inner craftsperson and launch my own line of handcrafted mask chains! It all started when I found myself dropping/losing masks … Continue reading
Review: Suisai Beauty Clear Powder
Yikes, sorry for the disappearance – I had another trip to Japan, and then I was so crazy busy. But now I’m back! Now it isn’t very often that I find a product that lives up to the hype – take for example Loreal’s Lash Paradise. YouTubers have raved about it, but I found myself … Continue reading
Review: Caolion Magic Black Powder Massage Peeling Gel
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
Review: Etude House Colorful Drawing Water Color Blusher
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
Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup
I haven’t had much luck recently with finding an awesome new foundation/cushion foundation that’ll work wonders on my skin and long days – essentially, it’s all about that base (product) hurhurhur. Will my tides change with this Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup foundation? Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup – … Continue reading
Review: YSL Touche Eclat Le Cushion
I have this unfounded and biased love for YSL the brand, be it their leather goods or their beauty products. I have no idea why – it must be the sexay gold packagings that have dazzled me bonkers. Heh. YSL Touche Eclat Le Cushion – SGD$92 Now, the official spiel about the puff: The 1st … Continue reading
Review: La Mer Luminous Lifting Cushion Foundation
So the cushion foundation trend shows no signs of stopping – I mean, even ultimate luxury skincare brand La Mer has now produced its own cushion foundation. Yippee for us! La Mer Luminous Lifting Cushion Foundation I say… The Packaging: A square compact with rounded corners. There’s nothing groundbreaking about the casing – mostly … Continue reading
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: 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
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: 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
