Aloha everybody! How are we all? I just had my 3rd exam today *like legitly, why did my uni decide to schedule my exam for the first time ever on a Saturday morning... like really?!* So yea, woohooo, 2 more exams to go! Cannot wait for the holidays to come.... literally I just want to: catch up on my sleep, go food-hunting with my baes and watch all the episodes of dramas I missed this semester *such is the life of a pharmacy student* Anyways, I went to the city, in particular, Northbridge, there's an asian cosmetics store that was opened recently and they're having their grand opening sale, me being the omg-asian-cosmetics-fan, I was like, "Hmm interesting.. let's go check it out!" This new shop is called, " Fairy Cosme " situated at Northbridge - I will leave all their contact details below if you are interested. Here's the list of the products I bought! Ramosu Carestory Hyaluronic Acid Solution 100 ($40) Berrisom My Lip Ti...

Hello my lovelies! How are you all doing? :D Done my test and finished my assignment for this week and before I plunge into more (stu)dying for the last week of uni, I decided to do a short review for you all to read! The only dislike (beside dark eye circles that can't be avoided) feature that I don't like on my face is blackheads, which they *luckily* predominantly appear on my nose as my T-zone does get oily during the day. It's only recently that I've started using the DMC deep cleansing mask, so I was quite interested and intrigued when Ellie introduced me to buy this product too. I read some reviews online that this kit actually work, so I thought to myself, "Why not? Let's give it a try!" First impression: So this is the 3-Step Kit is from the Pig-nose (cute name right?) Clear Blackhead line that Holika Holika has! This 3-step kit contains 3 nose strips that: 1. Opens pores 2. Removes blackheads 3. Minimises pores The instructions on t...

Here’s a review of Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner  which I made for Absolute Beauty. I’m quite the sucker for beauty products but not every item is to my liking. But this, however, such a popular Korean skincare brand, has stumbled across my view, and got me faithful! Ever since I've started using this few days ago, I'm already hooked! If you are keen to know the wonder of this product, please read on. For those who don't know what this brand is, Laneige is a popular facial care and cosmetics brand located in Korea. This brand prides itself in using the science of water to produce their best-selling products. Laneige means “snow” in French and is the result of intense research into hydration technology. First impression: The packaging is pretty standard Laneige packaging. Simple yet chic! They’re not made of glass, but plastic, which is really handy as they’re already quite heavy! The caption on the clear bottle says: “Soothing skin refiner with detoxify...

It has been a while since I did a snack review.... tonight's the night I shall share my opinion of a famous Japanese treat called Tokyo Banana Original  :) Fun fact of the day... Do you know Tokyo Banana expires within 12 days? But it must be consumed within 7 days (in order to taste the original flavour) so you can't keep it too long! *sad* Japan is very well known country with their wide varieties of snacks, in which all of them are very yummy!  If you are not into Japanese snacks, haven't been to Japan at all or have no idea what this is... Tokyo Banana is just a soft plain sponge cake filled with banana custard cream. It's a famous Japanese snack and you can only purchase them in Japan or through online (for more deets, message me)!  It is seriously a MUST HAVE food souvenir when you visit Japan.  From their website, it is said that they come in boxes of 4, 8 ,12 and 16. As you can see, I got the package of 8. Besides the fact that...

Apparently this is ranked #1 in Japan so I thought to myself, ooh let's try this! It then prompted me to ask the owner at Perth Fabulous Beauty about it, the price ($79) I admit, initially threw me off. I felt hesitant because I asked myself, would I take this bet to try this out if in case it doesn't work out at the end? So after a night's thought, I went to the shop..... and bought it! I have been using this little magic for a week now.. and so far, here are my thoughts. You must be wondering what is this product about right? Well Takami Skin Peel proves to soften and beautify skin. It is said to be that the fluid feels exactly like water with no artificial flavour or any added fragrance. It is also said to "solve a variety of skin problems, such as pores, blackheads, acne, fat particles, etc.." "And if you persist using it everyday, you will certainly see the effects." And just from that rough translation, it felt like I need to try this prod...

This is my first ever eyebrow pencil that I got in the shade black. In the past *ever since I dyed my hair and taught how do eyebrow makeup*, I have been using a variety of brown: from blonde brown to dark brown. So it was interesting to try out how this perform on me. I'm impressed. Read on if you're interested :) I'm pretty sure  you have heard of Innisfree right? :D Let me de-brief you if you don't, it is an eco-friendly Korean skincare and makeup brand focusing on natural ingredients and recycle packaging. The design of their products is simple, neat and nicely reflects the purpose of the brand. Innisfree products are also free from harmful ingredients.  Innisfree Eco Eyebrow Pencil is said to be formulated with green tea extracts. Interesting right? *coming from a green tea lover myself hehe* It is also paraben free, fragrance free, mineral oil free, animal nature material free, talc free and etc. This twistable eyebrow pencil comes in a plastic pencil t...

Alohaaaa everybody! :) It's a bit saddening that I haven't post on here for a while, been posting away on my personal blog instead! I legitly have so much product reviews to share with you all, but uni has been keeping me busy and now I have 2 weeks study break, supposedly should be "studying", but my brain took it as holiday.... oopsie daisie... :P And here I am, procrastinating... by posting a review! ;) Today's review is based on:  Banila Co. Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Before I start, here's a little story of cleansing oil and I - our relationship was never really close. Ever since I got my first concealer ( my makeup journey ), that's when I got my first and *so far* the only cleansing oil (from Elianto ), in which I have been using for the past couple of years. I have never really thought of it as a mega important part of my skincare/makeup regime, I treated it basically as a go to oil remover to remove waterproof makeup when I go to par...
