Because they come in a package. The more and longer you blog, the more comments you get. Comments come in the form of encouragement, appreciation, praise, information, but they can also be in the nature of spam, non-constructive criticism, and absolute nonsense.

According to an Irish folktale, fairies leave a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and Leprechauns guard it. Only those who have put in hard work, persevere and hold hope in their hearts will find their own pot of gold. This saying is really to exemplify that perseverance and hard work will bring …

Okie, I have officially run out of excuses to further delay publishing this. Haha. But it’s not like I was lazy; I simply couldn’t bear to do it because doing it means being one post closer to the end of this series! I’m absurdly sentimental, I know.
But Bun Bun’s gotta do what Bun …

Anything that has ‘MAT’ in it makes me sit upright, my eyes open doubly large, and forget to blink as I read review after review of how that product mattifies the skin, controls oil, and reduces shine. I’m a mattifying junkie, whatever that means. Haha!
I was actually doing reasearch on the …

GAH. What a negative way to start a blog post.
Restart. LOL.

We can't go running to the store or click ‘Add to cart’ every time a blogger raves about a 'Holy Grail product, can we?
Coz if that were really the case, there would be no war in this world since all Beauty Bloggers are people with big hearts and ambassadors of all things beautiful, and the …

The Urban Decay Primer Potion is more than a crush to me. You know, we’re kinda married. Having extremely oily lids and living in a country that is hot and humid all year round, the UDPP has been my savior.
It keeps my eye makeup crease-free, brings out true vibrancy in eyeshadows, and best of all, makes the colors stay on from morning to night.
It is indeed, the best eyeshadow primer and therefore a cult-favorite. Find out how to make the magic last and get more bang for your buck!
After my brief episode with the Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown that made my black eyebrows appear even more fierce-looking and threw my eye makeup off-balance, I decided that since MAC is like THE standard for so many people, I should find my eyebrow antidote there.
I went to the Raffles City MAC store and was recommended Brunette, Spiked, and Stud by the MUA (makeup artist). I tried them all on my bare brows and thought Brunette looked a teeny wee bit orangey on me but the MUA insisted it suited me best. Against my better judgement, I ended up with Brunette.
So… Do I love it?

Warning: This review and comparison of the Smashbox Lash Primer and Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base contains pictures of me with ZERO MAKEUP and ZERO EDITING. HAHA! I didn’t want to wear makeup just to do a visual review and comparison of these two lash primers! You should take a minute first to think whether to click on ‘Read the rest of this entry’, LOL!

How I love the Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil! Earlier this year I was done with my sixth bottle of the Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil. I still have one full bottle left. Each 120ml bottle lasts between 4 to 6 months so I’ve been a loyal fan for the past 3 years and have been an active advocate for this amazing makeup remover.
What it claims:
FANCL’s original Perfect Blend Oil in the new Mild Cleansing Oil dissolves and removes the most stubborn makeup, eye makeup, even pore-clogging dirt and oil instantly. It is formulated with the best balance of carefully-selected oil and cleansing ingredients, it won’t leave any residue. The unique Smooth Cushion Oil glides so effortlessly to wrap and remove any makeup and dirt without stripping natural oil from your skin, leaving your skin soft and moisturized.
Does it perform as it claims?
Here’s my review of the Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil that easily removes any trace of waterproof makeup.
It’s amazing how these little bags of goodies can lift the spirits of a tired soul or make a happy person even happier. That’s why shopping is so addictive, especially online shopping! You never know the EXACT date the Happy Bag will arrive and the wait for parcel delivery is just so exciting!

I got my friend who was coming back from the US to get me the Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 and Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation in No. 30 coz they’re much cheaper over there. Makeup products at Sephora Singapore can easily cost S$10 more. I can’t wait to test the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation. Really hope Buff will suit my skintone better than Sand Beige.
