Why you should trim your guy's eyebrows. Or...guys, trim your eyebrows!

Posted by Unknown at 00:09 0 comments
Hi guys,

I know, it's been like an eternity since I have last written. I blame it on the two almost back-to-back trips in the last two months mostly, but I have also been kinda lazy since I got back last week. Hehe. Anywho, Nicole is out of town having fun in Seoul, probably wearing her "Sunny in Seoul" lipstick and whatnots, so I'm here to hold the fort while she is gone!

Today I'm not going to talk about my usual food. Okay, maybe just partially, but the focus of this blog entry is to tell you ladies out there: Trim your guy's bush....y eyebrows! Especially worth it for girls with super low-maintenance boyfriends. Girls can enhance their looks with make-up, but for guys, there's really limited options. A new wardrobe is too much money (Guy's clothes are so much more than girls, I guess they charge by yard of cloth, but still!), and guys can't really wear make-up (not unless you are korean or japanese anyway...).

So, try it! It's really not that hard.

I started experimenting on Wenqi's beau Michael by luring them to my lair with home-cooked brunch one weekend, and I really have to say that I am quite impressed by my handiwork. Hehe.

 Unsuspecting couple. Mwahahhahaha.

5 mins smoky bronzed look

Posted by Unknown at 08:27 0 comments
I have been quite into bronze-y looks lately because in my mind eye, I feel like I am a bronzed goddess whenever I do a look like that. Yes yes... I am in denial....but anyway, bronzed look is great for summer (or Singapore where it's always summer) because you can showcase your sun-kissed skin, and look extra sultry and sexy like...

Okay you get the idea.

Today, I want to share with you guys my own version of a toned down bronze look, which mainly consists of a slightly bronzey smokey eye, coral blush with a nude lipstick. A makeup look that can be thrown together in 5 minutes. Great for work, great for brunch, great for shopping with the girls.

Mamonde Total Solution Moisture bb cream: A Review

Posted by Unknown at 07:58 0 comments
Yes, yet another product review, but I swear I did not spend another tens of dollars on this bb cream because I am still too in love with my Mizon snail bb cream. Story has it, a couple of weeks ago, my mother's flight to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific was delayed and she barely made her connecting flight to Xiamen, China. Upon reaching Xiamen Gaoqi airport she realized that her luggage did not follow her home to Xiamen. After a lot of haggling and reasoning with the Cathay ground stuff in Xiamen, she managed to get them to give her RMB400 (around SGD 80 bucks) to buy some daily necessities to tie her over till her luggage arrives. The bb cream was one of the first things she bought. Now, with a mum like that, I am sure all of you guys can understand why I am such a vain pot. :P

I have never heard of Mamonde till my mum passed her bb cream to me. Apparently, it's a relatively high end brand from Amore Pacific (owns things like IOPE, Laniege etc) in Korea and is loved by mature women. The bb cream is a little pricey at around SGD40 for 40ml.  A quick search from around the net tells me that this bb cream claims to whiten the skin with the help of some "secret" flower complex, providing elasticity to the skin while preventing problems (I am assuming wrinkle problems).

I have been using this bb cream interchangeably with the Mizon snail bb cream for almost 3 weeks now, and I did not see a stark improvement on my skin condition, unlike when I first started using the mizon bb cream. So for this review, I will only be talking about the cosmetic properties of this bb cream  and not the skincare bit.

Clio art Blusher in #2 PINK: Review + Swatch

Posted by Unknown at 01:12 0 comments
I have been eyeing Korean makeup brand CLIO for years. Over the past year,  I noticed their products popping up in Watson's Singapore, so obviously, when my sister was looking to buy a new blush and I edged her on to buy the CLIO art blusher. Let's just say she wasn't disappointed at all.


This blush is part of CLIO's art collection where they collaborate with artistes to come up these beautiful cover designs that awakens your sense before you even apply the makeup on your face. In this collection, they have baked eyeshadows, blushers and lipsticks, for swatches of these products, visit here.
