With budget flights available at the click of a mouse button to this new generation of world travelers, a country a month over the weekend is not that difficult to achieve. Flash packing requires no check-in luggage. Just lug a couple of important things in your hand carry and say hel...
The beauty and hair trend for Spring 2012 is all about hair being free to move with a glossy, healthy bounce. So to emulate the clean, freshly washed yet polished look, I ironed my hair out, worked some hair serum for a shiny finish and spritz a wee bit of hairspray just to hold it al...
Some lucky ones win the battle. I consider myself to be one of them. But when things get difficult, we turn to the skin experts. Skin doctors more often than not will recommend AHA, also known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids, to help treat oily & acne-prone skin. One particular brand respected...
In my recent trips, Manila restored my faith in humanity because I saw how there were still people who valued sharing; Jakarta taught me to listen to my heart once more and trust it to guide me to do what feels right for me. Now in New York, meeting up with one of my favourite girls f...
They say the third time’s a charm. Three times I’ve flown to Manila, three times I’ve been on the airplane alone, not exactly sure what’s waiting for me on the other side. But the anticipation that builds up inside as the plane descends and suddenly bumps you out of your seat upon tou...

I know, I know. I’ve been bad at updating and keeping you in the loop. But if it’s any excuse, I’ve had a pretty busy schedule since the turn of 2012 (where on earth did January go to?!) and you can see it first hand on my Twitter or Facebook page. From interviews to meeting people of...
, an off-Broadway musical hit, is now in Singapore! With the original cast all the way from Broadway, it’s a definite must-watch with your girlfriends whether you’re single or attached. Stories, jokes and the occasional boy-bashing are just part and parcel of any girl conversation. No...
The coarse scrub of the Oriental Opulence Body Glow does wonders for your skin. I love the coarse texture of the scrub because it removes dead skin effectively to leave behind soft baby skin. And the body cream! Rich luxury in a tub. Mmm… Delicious. Did I already mention how the produ...
If you’re intending to prune your trees, plants or even mow your lawn this Saturday (why you would do that on a Saturday I have no idea), gorgeous Miss Earth Venezuela , Jessica Barboza, has a tip for you. Not only is this girl a looker, she is also smart. Jessica is a lawyer and was ...
As for my hair and makeup, I decided to go for a more natural, healthy look in tune with the Visible Aura Spring 2012 trend. Light eye makeup and a healthy flush of colour on the cheeks and lips was in order to match my coral dress. Then I top all that off with highlighters on the che...

real nail polish strips are slated to last for up to 10 days but I couldnt decide if it was because of my weak nails or my rough and tumble that the nail polish strips chipped off at the nail edges like regular nail polish does within three days. I resorted to applying a top coat and ...
For instance, if you have redness on your face, you’d want to use a green make up base to help reduce this redness, while a purple make up base can help correct yellow-colored skin. So depending on your dark-eye rings (either blue or grey-blue), you’ll need to the get the correspondin...
We shot on location at a house that was all perfectly set up for Chinese New Year. Because you can see the full lookbook on the Jipaban website here , I’m going to show you some of my favourite unreleased shots with Sam! We spent so much time together at the shoot together, she almost...
by using this “Nose Up” clip which I got at a steal for $2. I previously saw this contraption at other beauty shops, but refused to pay $6.90 (or anything more than $2 really) for something most people call a clothes peg with pads on it. It seems to be pretty big with the Japanese and...

Truth be told, I dont know where to start on reflecting because 2011 has been a year full of ups and downs. The reflection was meant to review the year of Singapore Beauty Blog dweam.com, but there are several momentous experiences that happened in the year 2011 that should be include...
I used the Burberry Beauty Sheer Foundation Luminous Fluid Foundation yesterday at a house party and thought the mid to heavy coverage of the foundation was a pleasant surprise considering how the foundation was fairly light on the skin. The texture is a lot more like mousse when pump...

For eyes to stand out in photos, black smokey eyes was the make up style I adopted because unlike Western facial features, Asian eyes are slightly smaller and less deep set. Using dark eyeshdaow colours makes eyes look more piercing and definitely draws attention to sexy eyes!
Christmas is about celebrating what has been given to us and remembering the people who matter. In making me Singapore Beauty Blog dweam.com and Miss Universe Singapore 2011, that is every single person who has lent their support in one way or another. I thank you from the bottom of m...

Witnessing not only the winners who have evolved so much, both Wendy and Brad perfect examples from the Singapore blogosphere, but the rest of the bloggers whom I caught up with that night, some of whom I recognise as “pioneer batches”, it was intriguing to see how we’ve all changed s...

I did some research and figured out how to do a Twiggy inspired makeup look. The focus is all on the eyes. Here’s how to do a Twiggy’s 60s inspired makeup: - Apply dark eye shadow on the crease and eyelids. - Define the eyes with thick black eyeliner ending in a wing tip. - Add dark a...
, I had to decide what to do with the nail polish. Naturally, I couldn’t let all that crazy glitter go to waste. What was the best way to showcase these obscenely glittery nail polishes? Well, after seeing several glitter gradient nails including Ling’s , I decided to do the same. The...
But we mustnt forget the real reason we were at the Fendi boutique in Marina Bay Sands: Fan di Fendi! Fendi hasnt launched a fragrance for a very long time, since 1985 if my memory serves me right, so Fan di Fendi is thus quite a special perfume for Fendi fans. The Fan di Fendi eau de...

So since we stayed away from where the realll action in Phuket was, a trip to Patong itself was obviously due. If I’ve got any advice for anyone traveling to Phuket/Patong, either 1) stay in Patong and save yourself the trouble of haggling over the price of a Tuk-Tuk or 2) rent a moto...
Then, there’s San Tan-tonio from the OPI Texas Spring 2011 collection, that reminds me a whole lot of a favourite suede bag that goes with practically anything. Instead of the usual sheer pink neutral nails, I figured I’d try something different with a light brown colour. It was a tou...
