Etude House's Beauty Shot Face Blur
In this what we call the “Selfie Generation”, it has become natural that people are meticulously screening images of themselves just to look perfect for social media. Sometimes, the most natural complexion on selfies we see are not as “natural” as we think they are. I mean, come on, most of the ridiculously great skin we see on social media have either gone through camera/app filters and/or have undergone the magic transformation powers of makeup.
Speaking of which, Etude House has launched a brand new product, the Beauty Shot Face Blur, designed just to help you attain selfie-ready skin! If you wish that there is a real-life Photoshop function, this is it!

An olfactory journey from bulb to bud to bloom with Penhaligon’s Ostara: Event & Review

Penhaligon's Ostara Review
For someone who is so selective about fragrances like I do, it took me quite a couple of years to start appreciating scents. I never knew that scents could play such an integral role in fashion, complementing outfits with their various notes. Someone once told me that fragrances are like accessories. You wear a scent to match your outfit like how you would pair your neck piece with the dress you are wearing.
Introducing me to the world of floral fragrances, the iconic British perfurme house, Penhaligon’s, launches Ostara Eau de Toilette, a luminous floral scent created by Master Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. Inspired by daffodils, this fragrance is a modern interpretation of the delicate and incandescent flower.

The One Brand Makeup Pictorial with Clio: Review & Swatches

One Brand Makeup Pictorial with Clio
Do you have that one brand of makeup that you tend to pick out every day just because you feel safe, or whenever you are rushing? For me, whenever I don’t feel like picking out particular makeup products, I tend to find myself reaching for Clio’s products, specifically the Gelpresso Waterproof Shadows and the Kill Black/Brown Eyeliners. They are fuss-free and very easy to use, hence are my ideal products for quick touch-ups as well!
Since Clio has sent me several other products including some of their lip products – Virgin Kiss Lip Primer, Lipnicure Liquid Lipsticks and Top Coat, I’ve decided to do a One Brand Makeup Pictorial using these, complete with my views and thoughts on them.

Nature inspired, climate perfected. Introducing skincare products from Crème Simon: Review

Crème Simon Skincare
Have you heard of Crème Simon? The french skincare brand, Crème Simon, was founded by a gifted young apothecary called Joseph Simon, in France in 1980, after he made a breakthrough discovery of a pure concoction of seven carefully selected flowers and plants with incredible healing properties. His humble remedy soon became Crème Simon, the era’s most coveted beauty treatment – prized by film stars; sold out in Paris, New York, and the Far East Orient; and passed down from mothers to daughters as their secret to beautiful skin. Read more about the brand’s heritage here.
Last month, for Valentine’s Day, the Crème Simon Singapore team carefully curated a box of joy and love for me, giving me the chance to explore some of the bestsellers from the brand! The first thing I noticed when I opened this boxful of surprises was the distinct floral scent that belongs to all Crème Simon products! I can’t quite describe the scent but you’ll know what I mean when you encounter it yourself.
Because of my sensitive skin, I could only test these products one at a time in order not to disrupt my general skincare routine.
