A Little Bridal Spa Party with My Cozy Room

Life gets tiring. It does. From work, to pursuing our personal hobbies, to taking care of and spending time with families, and so on. Carrie and Rachie invited me to join them for a bridal spa party at My Cozy Room, I couldn’t be more excited. So the place was a cozy, little spa place located just off the busy streets of Orchard.

Review: Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil for complete makeup removal

For complete makeup removal, I would recommend Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil. It’s made up of a perfect oil blend and removes tough, long lasting makeup such as foundation, mascara and lip colour. See this test I put it through. First I drew on eyeliners (all tough, waterproof ones of different brands), then I piled on dark eye shadows which are all difficult to remove with ordinary cleansers. I pumped once from the Fancl bottle (you can see all liquid oil…

Hydro-Dynamic™ Ultimate Moisture

Zaida is in her fifties and has children my age. But look at her!!! She does not look a day older than her early…

My favourite eye makeup remover

Ok fine I have 2 favourite makeup removers. I have tried several other brands but I feel these two are still the best I have used so far. Just wanted to mention that on one of my trips to Phuket, I needed a eye makeup remover urgently and headed to Guardian and bought myself a BOOTS brand of eye makeup remover which proved to me that eye makeup removers should not be taken for granted cos you can really screw…

(Review) Estee Lauder – Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator

I hate uneven skintone and it bothers me. Especially the areas around my nose, lips, and the cheeks where there are dullness, blotchiness and old scars. I can use good makeup to help cover it all but at the end of the day, with my makeup removed and my bare face’s staring back at me in the mirror, the truth prevails. I often wondered if there is really a product that will help to even out skintone. Recently, through MyFatPocket,…
