When it comes to makeup, my mum is my complete opposite. For her, less is more and her makeup routine is extremely simple - sunscreen and her signature plum lipstick. I, on the other hand... well, I write for a beauty blog, so that pretty much says it all. If we're planning to go out somewhere, I'll spend over an hour just doing my makeup; she can be out the door in five minutes. Although it's clear that we don't have much common makeup habit-wise, I've recently come to find that my mum and I can finally agree on one thing: sharing the love for Dr. LeWinn's Eternal Youth Range ! Two months ago, I ran out of my serum (always on the hunt for good serums - in particularly, anti-aging ones, which I find a lot of my friends ask - "aren't you too young for anti-ageing products?" H ave  you ever wonder, are twenty-somethings too young for anti-aging skin treatments like serums, eye creams and facial creams? Well I do. Growing up, I've heard t...

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog for yet another post, and this time is on skincare, to be specific, it's on a pore cleanser! Read on to know more :) So 2 weeks ago, I posted on my instagram ( post link ) on how I got this RiRe Style Black Head Brush Cleanser from Yesstyle . I was really excited to test this out and see how it turned out as I heard a lot of raves about it and I want to see it myself whether it's worth it or not. I got it at a discounted price for $10.22 (at a 62% sale - bargain!) First impression:  the soap dispenses directly to the top of the silicone brush with a press of a button. It comes with a removable clear top and the design is quite convenient, not messy at all. simple packaging Let's look at the ingredients shall we! The main ingredients and their purposes are: - jojoba seed oil : a natural protein for clean pores! - arnica flower extract: acts to calm and moisturise the skin - macadamia seed oil: acts as an oil c...

Is this worth the hype or not? So I've heard that this product was highly raved last year, back then I was on edge whether to get it or not, then next minute, I was gifted this with other products ( see here ), I was seriously so shocked to receive these (in my head, was running around whispering, "Is this real life?"), and I can't be more grateful. Anyhow, so I've put this palette to test :) read on to know whether it's worth the splurge or not! ;) First impression:  The photos really do the talking here. The Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette comes in the most luxurious and travel-proof packaging. The gold and white casing with fun confetti detail opens to reveal five shades along with a large mirror. It contains three shades of blush and two highlighters including the iconic Champagne Pop. With the exception of Champagne Pop, all of the shades are brand new and designed by Jaclyn herself. There are two Shimmering Skin P...

Hey hey hey! Here's a short review of the Holika Holika egg soap that I got ages ago (last year to be exact!) but I never got around to publish this post T.T If you have seen my haul from VLOG #2 ( LINK ), you would've spotted I got these two cuties from a shop called, Kokobie in Coventry Village, Morley. Tried both of these out and here's my honest reviews on them, keep on reading to know more ;) By the way, I couldn't find my pictures of these at all in my phone but I really wanted to share what I think of them, so below is a photo I found on the original website. Pic credit to: LINK First impression & Packaging: The packaging of the product is adorable and as you all know, I LOVE cute things :) Hence, as soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it~~ The packaging really is just a egg carton with 2 eggs in it. The eggs are not as big as a normal chicken egg but I think they are just right to fit in your hands. They are all handmade which I love beca...

Hello everybody!! As you can see from the title, this post is not really about a review on makeup, but on a brush so in a way, it's related to makeup (right? haha). I I fell in love with it when I first received it, hence I want to share the love of this around and the necessity of getting this and why you shouldn't miss out on! (very useful!) As we all know, Etude House Play 101 Pencil got its fame as a multi purpose pencil - various colours and textures enable easier makeup. Note: I don't own any of its collection (yet XD) This product claims to be made for the pencils too - as it's in the collection too! Let's see how it is yes? :) So what is this multi brush and what does it claims to do? This multibrush has 4 different brush tips, to be used with Play 101 pencils (if you have). The four tips are: edge liner brush (use for eyebrows or to line the eyes), lip gradation brush  (use for lips), blending brush (use to apply eyeshadows, concealer or h...
