My Travel Makeup Bag for December’s Trip to Malaysia
Four more sleeps and I’ll be back in Malaysia. This time, I’d be back for almost a month! I’m beyond excited, and there’s so much to do. To be more precise, there’s so much to *ahem* shop This time, instead of lugging ...
Guerlain Spring 2010 – Me Likey!
I haven’t been impressed by any of the holiday collections lately, mainly because they’re either repetitive in shades and packaging compared to the previous year, or they’re just boring. But this, THIS I completely went goo goo gaa ...
Covergirl Outlast Lipstain: Sharpies for the Lips!
I first read about this from Gloss Queen, who raved about Covergirl’s latest lip colour range – The Outlast Lipstain. It’s the lipstick effect; I knew I had to have it. Description: The water-based colourants of Outlast Lipstain gi...
Products I Almost Never Splurge On
Inspired by Connie’s post, I thought I’d share some of my products which I almost never splurge on. Sure, there’s the economy downturn, and we’re all looking at areas to trim our spending, and that’s a wise move. Regardl...
Review: Bloom Shadow Liners in Charcoal Grey and Olive Green
When I picked up some stuff for a couple of friends at Bloom last week, I was intrigued by the shadow liners the shop assistant showed me. After giving them a go, I swear I want ALL of the shadow liners they’ve got. I was only supposed to get o...
EOTD: Let’s Try Us Some Silk Naturals Green for Spring
Man, I haven’t done an EOTD post in ages! Given that this isn’t so much of a makeup tutorial blog (you want a good one, do check out Connie’s. That girl’s brilliant.), and that my application and camera-taking skills aren̵...
Review: Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Duo in Strawberry Fudge
I’ve never been a fan of makeup by Clinique. Sure they make good skincare products, but the makeup …. meh. I’ve tried the Fresh Bloom Allover Colour but as pretty as it was, I was disappointed at how sheer the powder was. It didn...
My First Dior Eyeshadow Quint!
I haven’t been buying makeup in months now, and to quench that bit of a dry spell, I succumbed to temptation a couple of weeks ago and bought this. I’m so excited; I finally have a Dior quint eyeshadow palette of my own after drooling ov...
Review: Chanel Natural Finish Pressed Powder in Naturel
I may not be able to afford a Chanel 2.55, but by George, I can buy the makeup! Okay, this is one of the very, very few instances (thank God for that, or else I’d be utterly broke) that I actually bought something purely because of the brand, l...
Question: Expensive or Cheap Makeup/Skincare When Traveling
Happy Thursday, ladies. Hope the week’s been treating you fine. Finally, after months of staying away from new makeup, I broke the spell and got myself a lovely compact powder from Chanel. I’ll have plenty of time to feel guilty later *gu...
Tine’s Beauty Profile
Seeing the way the girls at So Loverly come up with their beauty profiles, and Connie too, I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and come up with my own beauty profile. This would hopefully make it easier for you to know the condition of my ski...
What’s In My Makeup Bag? (March ‘09)
Reader Crystal wanted to know what’s in my makeup bag. I did a post on this last July, and looking back, there wasn’t much of a change in what I carry with me on a daily basis. Funny enough, the only bit of makeup I bring around with me a...
Chanel Workshop @ Myer, Chadstone
A couple of weeks ago, when I was at the Chanel counter at Myer checking out the Tweed blush collection, I was invited to sign up for a skincare and makeup workshop. Apparently Chanel does not do many of these workshops, so I jumped at the chance. I ...
Review: Paula’s Choice Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 20
After reading Paula Begoun’s Don’t Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me, I couldn’t help but wonder if her own products, Paula’s Choice, are really that good. She highlights most, if not all, of them as Paula’s Picks. ...
Review: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
In my trip to the US, I managed to score a lot of Smashbox products at Costco (imagine that!) and Sephora, thanks to Smashbox’s best of beauty kits. I had to be practical, of course; I can’t expect everything in the kits to be fantastic. ...
Review: Clinique Superfit Makeup (Oil-Free Formula)
I’ll be honest with you. I was never impressed by makeup by Clinique. Sure I drool over how pretty the holiday collections look, but at the end of the day, I never found the actual makeup appealing. The eyeshadows are sadly paltry in terms of c...
Going Nuts At A Cosmetics Warehouse Sale
Okay, you know that Prestige Cosmetics and Fragrance Sale I was talking about yesterday? I just got back from the sale, and let me tell you, it was crazy. Utterly bonkers. I didn’t want to seem too eager, so I reached the building at 11.15am. T...
Review: Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++
I first read about Missha’s BB cream on Ponikuta’s site. I’ve heard of the brand Missha for quite some time now, but had no access to the products until Val very kindly told me that there was a Missha boutique at Boxhill. As she gav...
Christmas Lemmings (Amongst Other Things)
So the in-laws were in town for a visit the past couple of weeks, hence the absence on the blogfront. They left a couple of days ago, so freedom! :p ********************************** So, did any of my US readers go for the kill on Sephora’s Fr...
MAC Passions of Red: Intriguing Scarlet (Warm Eyes)
I haven’t bought any makeup, skincare products or toiletries in two months. Two months! And it was easy resisting the temptation to buy new makeup, because I haven’t come across anything which I really liked. Plus I kept telling myself th...
NARS Safer Set
I love NARS, I really do. Am head over heels in love with the blushes and think that the eye shadows are swell. But when I saw this, I can’t somehow make heads or tails out of it. NARS is selling condoms with their Multiples? No wait, not just ...

Review: CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara
There was a lot of hoo-ha about this mascara when it was first launched. The huge brush simply screamed volume, and the tiny bristles promised clump-free lashes. I've read many good reviews on it, and when it was finally launched at Priceline, I grab...
