A while back (okay, maybe last week) I received a bunch of CandyDoll Cosmetics to try out. I have seen this brand retailing at our Watsons before, and the most outstanding feature of CandyDoll is the very 'kawaii' blonde Japanese girl fronting all their products. While I certainly don...
The Pore Cleansing Pack comes in the form of soft clay mask and is designed to clean out the deep-seated dirt and oil in the pores. Its special formulation effectively softens and removes blackheads and through continuous use, eliminates dirt and oil so pores are left clean and unclog...
The weekend is almost here... and I am bursting with lots of entries to upload and lots of products just waiting to be photographed, swatched and played with. I have at least 3 new foundations to try out, lots of skincare and also new brands that I have yet to try out myself. Unfortun...
Just want to annouce the two winners for the Reebonz Beauty giveaway. Was supposed to post this last night, but I got busy/ distracted and tried, hence the delay. Many many thanks to everyone who took the trouble to enter their comments. I deleted several duplicated entries, and I als...
is nothing new to many of you, if you are looking for 'discounted luxury' [think YSL, Prada, Miu Miu], then you are looking for it at the right place at Reebonz. Though I have never purchased anything there before (currently eyeing the extra large PS21 bag), I know that some of my col...
This past week, I had the chance to attend the press launch for Philosophy and I give an overview of the brand and some star products in this entry. I am pretty sure Philosophy is a brand that many of you are familiar with, if I recall, True Colors stocks a very very selected range of...
Most of the pictures you see in post 2010 entries are taken with my Canon G-11. Previously I was using Canon Ixus 80. I do post some pictures which are taken with my iphone4 which I will state in that particular entry. I have stopped watermarking my pictures as of 2011, because I thin...

Hazel started this tag 'online reading list' recently, and I think it might be time to do a quick updated one. I usually keep my fave blogs up at the side column, but it is certainly worth mentioning again. I must also return the love to Hazel, whose blog is often filled with insights...
Legend has it that pearl necklaces must be worm regularly to maintain their unique aura. Without the skin, the dazzle of the pearl fades. And, without the power of the pearl, the skin loses its natural radiance. Guerlain researchers concentrated their work on its sacred relationship, ...
When I learned that Reebonz has extended their retail range to beauty in July 2011, I was curious to see what they offer. Although currently the site doesn't seem to show any active events, I was told their top selling beauty brands are Clarins and SK-II, and they also carry products ...
A look that features all the MUFE products which I featured in this entry (link !) --- this is part of the MUFE spring collection, La Bohème, which features a new palette consisting of baked eyeshadows. I didn't go for the usual neutrals because I want to bring out the spring themed c...
When I first blogged about the new Anna Sui 2012 Spring collection here , I knew immediately I wanted the Rose Cheek Colour in Mystic Rose - which is a "bright translucence and luminescence" shade. It retails for $49 and not $51 as previously stated. I think this is already available ...
MUFE's Spring collection is all nature and gypsy inspired, and sees a new eyeshadow palette which is made up baked eyeshadows (made in Italy). The La Bohème palette contains six eyeshadows, which are all shimmery and quite smooth. The baked powder technology ensures fine, intense colo...
comes in a clever tube packaging, you just twist the cap, and the product comes out of the hole in the cap....that means no falling caps in the shower, everything comes in one piece, which is really neat. I use a generous amount of the conditioner - because it feels so light, and I am...
FANCL Limited Edition Cupid Mild Cleansing Oil retails as $33 for 120ml and comes with a complimentary 20ml Cupid Mild Cleansing Oil. Available from 23 December 2011 at all FANCL outlets while stocks last. FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil is not new to me - both my sister and I are long time ...
Yesterday I received an unexpected surprise beauty box from the lovely girls at BellaBox , and so I shall share with you its contents. I have previously featured the December BellaBox which is party-themed (link here !), and not surprisingly, February's box is Valentine's Day themed. ...
This entry features close up pictures and a look which I did featuring the RMK SS2012 eyeshadow palette. (link here for the sneak preview entry) I got my palette in 03 Gray, which contains a variety of pastel sparkling shades, and a gunmetal grey base shade. I also used the brushes th...

Living in a tropical and humid climate makes it a real challenge for even the most poised of women to consistently maintain a flawlessly brightened skin. Thankfuly, the latest in Laneige's whitening care technology meets all your beauty needs in the new Snow BB Soothing Cushion. A uni...
I placed a shopbop order recently, because my brother wants me to get a pair of shades for him (he wanted to replace his broken black Ray Bans aviator) and soooooo I realised I still have this pair of shades in my shopping cart (darn those that remember what you half-heartedly added f...
The makeup brushes you see there in the cup are meant to go for washing soon. My laptop usually sits there, or on my bed. I have a DYSON blade-less fan which I put on my desk. Some shades, and contact lenses which are my daily essentials. When it gets too bright, I usually leave the b...
I bought this nail polish because, hmmm, Lisa Eldridge listed it as one of her ten favourite nail polishes. She describes it as a purple with a grey undertone. It is Butter London's Marrow . link to her video here I am currently wearing it on my toes. Love the chic muted purple. It is...
Another set of goodies which I got from my US swap (I tell you, I think I have never been more excited by drugstore goodies!!! Because I have seen/ heard such great things about them, and since they are priced so affordably, it never hurts to just give them a try). And Revlon is slowl...
Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows during my recent US swap. I could go crazy and get all the shades that I wanted, but I was being super good, and telling myself that I CANNOT buy more of such products - but I couldn't pass up not getting any when I have the chance. I went for a rath...
In terms of texture, I find that the Revlon Lip Butters are the most comparable to the Clarins Hydra Nude range of lipsticks. They provide some colour, and also feels really nice and buttery. I also think that the paler shades are sheerer, while the darker shades like Red Velvet, Maca...
A couple of weeks back, a very lovely reader, Kay, offered to do a swap with me, and this is what happened. I just want to thank her again, very very much, super fast and efficient. Her package is currently on its way to her right now. It's an unusual sort of swap, because we both ask...
Lancôme shares the secret of a wide open resolutely doll eyes’ look by combining the ombré absolue impact 3d with hypnôse doll eyes mascara, not forgetting the finishing flick of iconic artliner. For a fresh beautifying touch, the much-coveted girly pink hue appears in a series of all...
It is FEBUARY already! *disbelief* I thought I will give an update on some recent stuff which I have been loving lately. Not really full reviews, but a few quick points about each item. Some are old products, and some are recent additions. Collection2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer 0...
