If you are a first-timer for eyeshadows, a neutral palette with warm oranges and browns is hands-down a safe choice. I’m stoked by my recent purchase, the Pony X Memebox – Pony’s Favourite Set #03 Orange! It’s a beautiful palette with a good combination of shades for your everyday makeup look.

Pony Shine Easy Glam 3 Eyeshadow Quad #03 Orange Bloom
Pony Blossom Lipstick #03 Orange Dahlia

Curl it up with Etude House’s Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara: Review

August 31, 2015 No Comments

You know what’s the one thing I dislike about being an asian? It’s stick straight eye lashes that can never hold its curls! If you are a girl who loves to doll herself up like me, I’m pretty sure you’ll always complete your eye makeup look with a mascara, right? 😉 I’ve never tried Etude House’s mascaras before but this particular one, the Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara (S$24.90) wowed me with its formula!

My Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara came in a box titled “Open Your Eyes”, with products dedicated to give you that wide-eyed doll-like look! I was honestly more interested to try out the mascara especially since it features the lauded ETUDE Curl 24HR Technology™, where the Perfect Lash Fixer puts in place curves that promise to last up to 24 hours!

Bling Me Prism with Etude House X High Cheeks: Review, Swatches & Pictorial

August 30, 2015 No Comments

Fall’s trend brings us to rather gold and bronzy eye makeup without being too over the top and Etude House is launching some liquid eyeshadows in those shades, in their latest collection! We see Etude House bringing in a brand new collection, Bling Me Prism, in collaboration with Korean accessories brand High Cheeks! Well it’s all about that bling, ’bout that bling, oh baby~

Bling Me Prism screams fun, sexy and cool, all at once because it’s about vibrant pop of colours on the lips and easy, day-to-day wearable for eyes! Oh and there are some hologram nail colours too (not shown here)! The collection also evokes a sense of playful, colourful fun with its pop-art graphics and unique packaging that’s made for keeps! Look at those sexy lips and eyes!~

Let’s get started with the eyes, shall we? Bling Me Prism Eyes (S$11.90) is a water-base eyeshadow colour that requires blending with the fingers to create an even eye colour on the lids. It’s said to provide a cooling and moisturising effect on the skin around your eyes but I don’t actually feel so..

LANEIGE Meets Fashion – LANEIGE X PLAYNOMORE: Review, Swatches, Makeup Look

August 26, 2015 3 Comments

Woohoo, it’s the second episode of LANEIGE Meets Fashion! This time, K-Beauty giant, LANEIGE, is collaborating with PLAYNOMORE, a brand designed by Chae-yeon Kim, whose signature SHYGIRL bags have garnered a lot of attention from K-pop celebrities and models!

I personally cannot comprehend the hype for the bags, because I’m not one who likes such adorably loud prints on my bags, but when you have such prints on makeup, it’s a whole new different story! Let’s explore the LANEIGE X PLAYNOMORE collection hitting our shores this September!~

July 2015 Beauty Favourites: Review

August 10, 2015 2 Comments

Woohoo!~ With the overwhelming number of beauty brands in the market, it is no wonder we consumers are all spoilt for choices! So… What made into my July 2015 Beauty Favourites? 😉 As usual, there is an equal emphasis placed on skincare and makeup products for this month and it wasn’t easy narrowing down to these 6 items, so let’s get into them, shall we?

Remember the LANEIGE (reformulated) Sleeping Mask that I was excitedly talking about the last time? I cannot be happier to have the LANEIGE Mini Pore Waterclay Mask join my family of masks to protect my skin! With a mud-clay texture but a watery consistency, this clay mask helps a lot in removing skin impurities, while tightening the pores. Even though this may make your skin feel a little tight when it dries, the feeling of tautness goes away after washing off the mask. Full review here.

Born with sensitive skin, it’s not easy to find products that work for a long time. The Body Shop recently relaunched their Drops of Youth™ Concentrate, a serum that’s created to reverse the first signs of aging. I haven’t got to reviewing this proper so I guess I’ll just pen my thoughts here!

The serum is rather thick in consistency, so a little goes a long way for your entire face. It absorbs quickly without leaving any feeling of stickiness as well, given its viscosity. Enriched with plant stem cells, the product helps to optimise your skin’s youthful beauty by helping to enhance surface skin renewal – the skin’s natural process of replacing the uppermost dead skin cells with new ones beneath. Indeed, this is one of those products that gives you smoother, firmer and healthier skin! 🙂

Enough with the skincare, let’s get into our favourite, makeup!

I have talked about this countless number of times and I cannot emphasise enough how much I adore the LANEIGE BB Cushion Pore Control! The original whitening one doesn’t suit my skin but this, this is so good that I have finished at least 3 cushion refills already! It is semi-matte, gives a decent coverage and lasts all day!

The one that’s shown below is the Whitening BB Cushion by the LANEIGE x Play No More collection which will be launched in September!~ Stay tuned!

I have always been loyal to my Urban Decay Primer Potion if you haven’t realised by now. Lately, my UDPP has been stashed aside to give way to the Inglot Eye Shadow Keeper. It comes in a small black tube indicative of the Inglot brand and has a lighter texture. It dispenses as a beigey substance but blends colourless on the lids. As the name suggests, this allows you to keep your eyeshadows in place for the entire day!

A new blush that I am obsessed with is the Too Faced Love Flush 16-Hour Long Lasting Blush. With the heart-shaped packaging and the beautiful bunnies details, need I say more? The name of the blush says it all as well, it needs no explanation! Full review and swatches of all the shades here if you wish!

And of course, I can’t live without a lipstick. July was being obsessed over sheer but moisturising lipsticks and the one that topped my chart is none other than the Givenchy Le Rouge-A-Porter in 206 Corail Decollete. It comes in a sleek leather casing, with a very moisturising formula, what else can you not love about this?
