Well well well April flew by so quickly that I can't believe tomorrow is May. The year is definitely flying so fast that it ain't minding anyone's business, I tell ya! Last month, I did a favourites video so to switch it up, for this month, I have a short post today dedicated to the beauty products I've emptied (YAYS!), it's not much, but here goes :) and here's a typical flatlay I do on my instagram First up, SKINCARE . Tony Moly Panda's Dream So Cool Eye Stick -  Let me tell you, every now and then when I'm hunting down my latest and greatest korean beauty finds, I will be tempted. Not by a product that I've heard loads of amazing reviews on. Not even by a product that I necessarily need. But just by its cute packaging. It's just impossible for me to resist. Like this, it's cute. Really cute. And I must have it. Does anyone out there feels me? The Tony Moly Panda's Dream line has been around for a little while now, and t...

Hello everyone :) Welcome back! It's EASTER, um say what? This year is flying WAY too quick! I swear yesterday was just the first day of the year. And to say it's already middle of April. *still in denial* Life has definitely been really busy for me - handling with working full time, juggling time to spend with family and friends, and basically been planning for my US trip in a couple of months time. . But anyhow, without further a-do, today's post is about (as suggested from the title) a super-late-but-promised review of John Taylor's  "The Noosa" watch. “Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.” I remembered when I was young, all the adults around me, advised me to spend time wisely. But when I think of time back then, was that it's slow and there's plenty of time to do things. My parents have always bought me watches throughout primary school to highschool - to keep track of time - when I was little, I wish time goes faster, but ...

Hello hello hello :) Yep, it has been WAY too long that I've neglected my blog :/ So sorry, now let's move on, shall we? If you follow my instagram ( instagram.com/melon_yu ), you would have seen a post that mentioned about me uploading a video on March Favourites.. yea? If not, make sure you've catch a glimpse on here ! Anyways, after uploading that video, I've received DM's on the product's specifications and where I got that from etc etc. So I thought the way to do that is to make a post to elaborate on each product! Read on to know more :) But first, here's the video if you still aren't sure what I'm on about haha XD Video link is: HERE (if you somehow can't watch the attached video above) So from the video, here are all the products that have made their way into my video - In order of the video - ♡ Beauty:  (a) Skincare - - Frank Body Lip Scrub What is it? click here for a short review Where can you g...

Hello lovely ladies! Since I don't have a valentine, happy valentine's to you all! It has definitely been many moons ago that I've posted on my blog here, so sorry for my recent absence! Was really busy with work and life. Some of you may have noticed that my instagram account has totally disappeared today - woke up this morning and found out my account was deactivated by instagram, according to them, "I violated one of their terms" and I literally gasped when I saw it. I was like what the hell. What did I do?! I didn't do anything wrong. What's going on. My heart shattered to pieces and literally the whole day at work today, I was constantly stressing with what ifs, what now, all my hard work has flushed down the drain, what should I do etc. I was all over the place, my mind was constantly running trying to think of solution! Just then, I found an appeal form, followed the instructions and well fingers crossed, I hope I get my account back in one piec...

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...
