I have thick eye brows and it gets messy at times which can be quite annoying. Thick eye brows that are messy look like caterpillar!

Guess what arrived at my doorstep today


 It came safely and nicely packed with lots of bubble wraps in the evening.

That's right! I bought the newly released Laneige Water Drop Tinted Lip Balm. Compared the prices on Qoo10 and on retail. It is going for S$33. I think I paid about S$25 on Qoo10. But the downside of buying online is that you can't try it before buying.

Realised that the box is slightly dented but all is good because the tinted lip balm inside was not damaged.

I have been lots of side talk on eateries haven't I? Here is another one.

My friend and I decided to go for cycling one. Our starting point was opposite Compass Point and our goal was the Punggol Settlement. We went through the cycling path that passes by the Punggol Waterway and Waterway Woodcress. It was a long route but the scenery was great. Luckily the weather was relatively cloudy.

Once we reached Punggol Settlement, we looked for a place to park of bikes but to no avail. I find it puzzling for such a park to not have anywhere to park the bike. We decide to bring up our bike to the second floor of Punggol Settlement where Rilek 1 Korner is located…it was pretty embarrassing haha.

Today I am join review another item part of the Laneige Trouble Relief series. Previously I wrote a review on Laneige Trouble Relief Spot Gel HERE, which I really recommended. This is time the review will be on Laneige Trouble Relief Cream! I am not sure about the price since it is a gift from my friend. But it should S$50 dollars.

Let's start off with pictures of the product itself

Hello! Another side-talk post today haha. Visited Papparich at Star Vista with my sister about a month ago. I remembered that my sister submitted her thesis on that day and I was in school…studying alone. Usually I would be quite productive in school…but during my final year, school did not feel as conducive as before :/. Anyway back to the topic of Papparich, decided to go there for very early dinner because the drinks in the menu look so good.

I met my sister at Star Vista itself and then we settled at Papparich. Papparich location at Star Vista is quite obscure.  Had to walk around for quite some time until we found it. Papparich has really nice interior, unfortunately the air-con was not working on that day. Its interior has this vintage coffee shop feel to it. Papparich also kinda remind me of Old Town White Coffee, which also originates from Malaysia, except that Papparich has better food that Old Town White Coffee in my opinion.

Pappa Chicken Chop

Speedy Whip Foam Cleanser is also one of the products that my eldest sister got for from Japan last December. This item can also be found in Singapore, I remembered the price being quite affordable that expected. I thought Shiseido products are pretty pricey in Singapore.

Met up with my friends few weeks ago to take time off from studying. I suggested that we have dinner at FIX cafe. Have been eyeing this place ever since it got its halal certification. Their desserts look so photogenic on photos. However its location is a little out of the way from where we usually hangout. Suggested this place because the others do not have any better suggested, so we went….

We took a bus there and it took us almost an hour to reach but it was worth it. Got seated near the pool. It was not very crowded and the lighting of the cafe was good for photo taking. You have to the counter to order. I went to the counter to order but forget what my friends wanted to buy as soon as I was about to order haha. I bet the cashier thought I was weird. Went back to our table and asked my friends to come with to order haha. They also commented why I went to cashier without bringing my wallet -.- Scumbag brain.

Okay back to the food we ordered. We had Chicken Tikka Naanwich, Turkey Ham and Cheese Naanwich, Fish & Chips, Soy-glazed Chicken Drumlets and Strawberry Pistachio Rose Tart. For drinks we had ice-lemon tea, Iced Mocha and Iced Chocolate. The price came about $51 dollar, if I remembered correctly. And that is very reasonable.

Didn't manage to take lot of the photos of the food because we were all very hungry and could not wait to dig in. Here is my take on each of the item we had.

As mentioned in my previous post, my eldest sister went to Japan in December 2014 and brought back lots of Japan face products. While she was there, she whatsapp us to help to her search online for halal mochi which she can bring as souvenirs for her muslim colleague. I look up on google and do not find any halal kochi that is already in Japanese market. However, I did find out that there are halal omiyage out there are halal certified by Nippon Asia Halal Association (NAHA). Interesting huh. Below is the halal logo of NAHA.

One of the product is "Arare", which is a type of rice crackers. It is product by Osama Rice Cracker Co. Pte Ltd. Do note that not all of their products are halal. So what is "Arare"? According to wikipedia, it is japanese confectionary made from glutinous rice. The difference from senbei is its size and shape. In other words it is fried mochi.

It is time for a new product review again. Before I do that, I would like to wish all my readers HAPPY 2015! May 2015 be a great year for all of you. 

My eldest sister brought home lots of Japan Skin products after her trip to Japan in December 2014. Some of the products are from popular brands in Singapore while some are brands that I have not heard before. On a side note, I simply love how the Japanese package their products, it makes me really excited to try out the products. One of the products that I would like shared with the product is DET Clear Bright & Peel Peeling Jelly with Mixed Berry Fragrance.

I went to Watsons today to get wax strips for my leg because I have not been waxing for so long and I have massage appointment tomorrow. I don't want to shock the therapist with the amount of leg hair I have HAHA. I have been using Veet wax strips since I was in secondary school. It cost about S$17. Today, I realise that there is  a cheaper alternative which is Nair easiwax which cost only S$10.45! The only difference is that Veet one contains 18 strips and 4 after wipes while Nair easiwax contains 20 strips and 2 after wipes. I bought Nair easiwax this time round. Now let me show use the content of a box of Nair easiwax:

Skinfood Mask Reviews coming soon…

Do comment if you want me to review them earlier :)

Benefit Brow Bar is where we go to get our brow fix. This is my second visit to Benefit Brow Bar and we are quite satisfied with results. Instead of the traditional plucking of the brows, Benefit Brow Bar offers Brow waxing instead. It uses hot waxes to remove and shape brows.

This will be my first SK-II product review. Since I am still a student, SK-II products are way above my budget. So it will be rare for me to review SK-II. I've tried their treatment essence and I find it great, but too expensive for me continue using.

Today I will review SK-II Facial Treatment Repair C. I suppose this product is targeted more towards the middle-aged and older because it aims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and roughness to refine skin texture and elasticity. Basically, nutrient rich serum that contains mainly Pitera (like most of SK-II products) and Hydraulic Acid. According to SK-II website, Pitera is a clear liquid rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids.

The product

Instead of doing the usually review, I would like to tell you more on how to request for sample online. You can easily request for samples through Facebook pages and websites of the products. Below is the list of products where you can get samples!

Cetaphil Singapore - remember to like there Facebook page first. Each NRIC can only request one sample

I have heard of hype over this product. Many reviews says that it will work wonders. So I decided to buy it when I visited korea in January (because it is cheaper). I bought the complete pack (total 3 types), but today I will only be reviewing the Blackhead Out Oil Gel.

I really had high expectation when I bought it. Unfortunately, the effectiveness fall short of my expectation. Why? I will tell you more in the later part of the post.

The product has really nice packaging but I kinda feel cheated when I realised that the gel itself it so little compared to the container. I cannot really remember how much it cost in korean won but I do remember it not being cheap. The gel is translucent and has small yellow bits in it. It also has a citrus scent to it.

Hello! Is has been some time hasn't it. Was very busy with school and all. Forgot about this space. But have a sudden urge to review/blog about my products now that my exams are over. And OMG my last post was in January 2013 and now it is almost the end of the year T.T. Is there even anyone reading this space...haha

Today I'm gonna review on Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. I'm not sure if I've mentioned before that my lips gets dry and chapped very very easily. I will even get cold sore or should I say tearing at the end of my mouth. It hurts really badly and take weeks to recover. I've tried a few lip balm to improve the condition of my lips. I must say Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm is the best for me.






For those who have never heard of the brand Burt's Bees is a company that makes it cosmetic products using natural ingredients. Beeswax is the main ingredient in their products. Same goes for this lip balm, it is '100% Natural'. What I like best about this lip balm is that is doesn't require me to apply multiple times a day. I usually uses it before I got out, and it can last me through the day. It soften my lips instantly. I also like that it contains Vitamin E and peppermint. I can feel the mint-ness (spicy-ness) on my lips after I apply it. I can remember how it cost though. I bought it from sephora. It is one of the items in the this christmas gift pack. Maybe you could check if these gift packs are available in your nearby sephora store since christmas is coming.

I'll give 5/5 for this product. Do look out for this space because I'm gonna review about more things in this week.

There definitely days where you are more self-cautious about your skin than usual. Yes I had one of those days and keep scrutinizing my skin. And I realized that my black heads was more obvious than i thought. So I complained to my friend and friend recommended me this. About S$14, available at Watsons. I don't really like using blackhead strips, hate the sting. I only use it as my last resort. Garnier Pure Active Blackhead Clearing Scrub is suitable for everyday use and it is multiple purpose too. Hooray for a lazy person like me. Ever since I've used this I rarely used those black head strips. Coincidentally, it also helps to fade spot marks. This is really useful since my face is really prone to acne marks. The scrub contains blue and white bits to help in the exfoliating. I like the fresh minty finish after I use it. It is usually not dry on the skin. On some days it is, I compliment is with Nature Republic Blemish Lab Moisturizer. I reviewed it in my previous post! Do check it out (: I'll rate is 5/5.

I can't believed how squeezed the tube is....it just goes to show I keep using it. I love it.

Ingredients

For those who are into kpop, I have a song recommendation. Speed - it's over. Check out the M/V:


I think one the member is pretty cute heheh. I kinda like Park Bo Young voice!

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of updates. Honestly, I have lots of products to update but I just could not find the time to do. Today's review would be one Nature Republic Blemish Lab AC Moisturizer. I've used this for 8 months. This products line is actually the one that rescued my skin when I was super stressed last year.

Do you know that a breakout on your skin could be lack of moisture? Moisturizer can also prevent wrinkles. Yes that how important moisturizers are! In fact it is a must in your skin regime. So how to check if your skin has enough moisture? Slightly press on your skin (with clean hands of course), if there is slight bounce to your skin, your skin probably has enough moisture.

Back to the product I'm am about to review. What I like about this moisturizer, is that it is not oily at all. It is also light and smooth when apply on the skin. As you can see, the color is more translucent than those opaque white moisturizer thus does leave and residue on your face. The effect is quite immediate too. For those who are concerned about fragrance, yes it is fragrance free.





I'll rate is 5/5!

This is going to be a very short review of a lip gloss that I would like to recommend to all of you. I got this from my mother and I don't where you can get this in Singapore because apparently my mom got this gift from her friend and she gave it to me. What I really like this lip gloss is that it very moisturizing and not oily. It absorb very quickly into my lips. What I always do is that, I apply it when I am about to sleep. So, basically the next day my lips will be very moist and smooth for the next day (yes the whole day!!). 



The main two ingredient of this lip gloss are Aloe Barbadensis Extract (Okay I am sure many of you must be thinking ... What da hell is that? lol) and jojoba seed oil.

Here is my research about these two. Aloe Bardadensis is actually just a type of Aloe and Aloe Barbadensis Extract is the juice you get from the plant. So, apparently, I found out that Aloe Barbadensis was largely used by Eqyption to beautify themselves O.O. As for jojoba seed oil it is known for its effectiveness of treating dry stop so this explain why the lips stick/ lip gloss is so moisturizing. Lastly, the product is not scent but you actually can smell something sweet from it mostly probably due to ingredient found in it.

My rate for this product is 5/5.

For those muslim who are worried about whether you can use this product, I actually found out that it has Islamic Seal of Approval. For animal lover who are against animal abuse, this product does not involve animal testing :)
