Preserving hummingbirds’ habitats with Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection: Review, Swatches & Makeup Look

Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection

What better way to welcome Spring than with the Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection? Whenever Chantecaille comes up with a makeup collection, I get every excited. I get overly eager not just because of the products but also the brand’s conservation initiatives. How many beauty brands in the market actively give back to the community and the environment on a daily basis? Well, we don’t know but one thing’s for sure: each and every of Chantecaille’s Limited Edition collection (and the Lip Veil collection) supports some animal/plant conservation efforts.

Applying sunscreen is a vital step to our skincare routine, especially in Singapore’s hot tropical climate. There are tons of sunscreens out in the market, which make us spoilt for choice. Being Asian, should we select Western brands or continue to trust Asian brands? What about cost vs. effectiveness? Does it mean expensive sunscreens perform the best?

C/o Datumou Recipe, an online site dedicated to testing Japanese cosmetics and beauty services, I got to try out 3 popular Japanese sunscreens from their curated list of top 12.

Luxurious lips with Tom Ford Lip Lacquer Luxe Matte/Vinyl: Review

Tom Ford Lip Lacquer Luxe Matte/Vinyl

If there is only one beauty brand I can use for the rest of my life, it would be Tom Ford Beauty. I first fell in love with the brand for its lipsticks. One of the first few luxury lipsticks I bought was the Tom Ford Lip Color Shine in Willful. I didn’t know much about TF’s lipsticks, but I really wanted to own one because of the luxe packaging. Then I remember being disappointed at how the lipstick didn’t have the iconic “TF” engraving, haha! Fast forward many years now, I’m finding myself falling deeper in love with the brand.
