Taiwan is a country that offers more than just picturesque views and mouth-watering street food. In recent years, it has also become a popular destination for beauty and skincare enthusiasts. While Korean and Japanese beauty brands have dominated the market, Taiwanese beauty brands are gaining recognition for their unique approach to beauty. Natural Ingredients One […]

For many years, I had used the ‘cotton-puff-with-bottled-cleansing-lotion’ method to clean away makeup on my face every night before makeup remover wipes became my new best friend. And because I have oily/combination, eczema-prone and sensitive skin, I would only pick oil-free products that wouldn’t clog pores or make my face feel even oilier, stickier or […]

Could this be the end to my hair woes? I certainly hope so. Sometimes I just feel so gutted about my hair because ever since my hair got damaged by perm solution when Gran took me to a home-based hairdresser to get my hair permed when I was 9 years old, my hair just started […]

There can never be an end to a woman’s skincare regimen or perhaps I should say it is a lifelong process. When I was in my teens and 20s, my primary skin concern was about eliminating (or preventing) pimples and acne on my face. When I hit my 30s, I was quite bothered by the […]

When I was in my mid-20s, whitening had never been a part of my skincare routine. I thought having tanned skin was cool and took every opportunity to be under the sun whenever possible. I didn’t bother to use any sunscreen or carry an umbrella when outdoors. When I noticed dark spots started appearing on […]

** Sponsored Review ** When I first received a full size bottle of Biore Uru Uru 2-in-1 Instant Foaming Wash, I was pretty excited to try the product because it seemed like the perfect solution to remove make-up instantly while cleansing the face which is something we women would very much appreciate at the end […]

From collagen drink, powder, hot pot, make up to skincare, ‘collagenisation’ is now an emerging trend. I used to think only the more senior ladies would require collagen because that’d be when age is shown significantly on the skin. But as I gradually move into my 30s and experience the changes myself, I realise that […]

These days, I’m starting to get lazy when it comes to making up my face as I prefer to just slap on some sunscreen (and the most BB cream) and then go out au naturel. Two months ago, I got the husband to buy this Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion for me from the duty […]

I went to the salon and had my waist-length hair cut to just below the shoulder. And I felt good about it because psychologically, it was a therapeutic experience. It was like lifting a stone off me after it weighed down on me for ages. Anyway, my thick and heavy hair had caused my scalp […]

Shopping for skincare and beauty products has never been such a big thing for me in my teenage years and when I started working after graduation until when I first went to Korea a few years back and I’ve been hooked on Korean brands since then. Mainly because they are very affordable, that’s why I […]

When I first received the Vaseline Healthy White Perfect 10 Whitening & Anti-Aging Lotion product sample, I then wondered if the lotion was meant for the face, body or both as it wasn’t explicitly mentioned anywhere. Vaseline is known for its body care products so I assume this is from the body care range as […]

I’m a big fan of The Face Shop’s mask sheets because they are made of natural ingredients, extracted from plants, fruits and herbs that we all know about. I have sensitive skin so I am extra cautious when it comes to choosing the right skincare products for myself. I have used Face Shop’s masks for […]

I came across these magic hair pads on Qoo10 when I was hunting for interesting knick knacks and was quite intrigued by the listing description on the usefulness of these pads. These pads were also highly recommended by the popular Taiwanese beauty talk show 女人我最大. Actually these pads are really just standard velcro that we see […]

I’m a big fan of Daiso where every item is priced at S$2.00 each and I actually shop at Daiso every weekend just to hunt out interesting finds and handy tools for the home & kitchen. My husband doesn’t think the same way. Whenever I head to Daiso, he’d pull a long face and nag […]

I have eczema-prone sensitive skin since my late teen years and hence I’m always careful in choosing the right skincare products for my skin type. Even though I’m in my 30s now, I’m still getting the frequent bouts of pimple eruption that easily cause scarring on my face. Some years back, I started using some […]
