Good stuff does not always come in big packages. The best example of this would be the Make Up For Ever HD Complexion Travel Kit. These cute little goodies are perfect for travel or to try out some of the most sought after products from the Make Up For Ever HD line. I've always wanted to try out the widely applauded products from the MUFE HD range, but can never justify forking out so much money

Has anyone ever went to the mall and start giving yourself a hard time for forgetting to bring the reusable bags? (Me! Me!) That happens to me a lot. All my reusable bags are too bulky for my handbag, and I tend to forget to bring them along whenever I go out. Thus, I constantly have to accept plastic shopping bags from the supermarket, which result to the huge amount of unused plastic bags in

I'm doing the missing-act again. (Guilty...) Work has been so busy. And I'm also in the process of moving to a new place, which then involves getting everything setup at the new place. Okay, enough rambling about how busy my life is. On to the review. Here's a little history about me and lip balms. We've come a long long way, and it wasn't a good journey. When I was studying overseas, I used to

We've heard so much about how we should be slathering on sunscreen like no tomorrow. It's actually easier said than done. Whenever I squeeze those sunscreen out of their tubes, a bell will starting ringing at the back of my head and a voice will say "that's 10% of what you just paid and it's only for 1 application". LOL. Alright alright... It's not as creepy as it sounds like. But truth be told,

Are you sun smart? Do you cringe at the sight of the sun? Or jump for joy and squeal whenever there is the slightest hint of sunshine? Personally, I'm not really a sun person. I don't hate it, but I won't go looking for it. LOL. Yeah, I'm complicated. =P  But hey, a little bit of sunshine does cheer me up once in a while. Especially when I'm feeling down. As summer is just around the corner,

As my first post (after such a long break), I think it'd be great to do an updated "What I'm Using Now" post. It's been a while since my previous one, and most of the stuff (say 50%) I use has definitely changed. So, here goes...

Yes. I'm still alive. =D How long has it been? 6 months? More like 8 I think. LOL.I really apologize for the long blogging hiatus. It has been a long 8 months for me. As some of you might know, I was applying for graduate school admission for Fall 2010, and the application part itself already took up all of my time and energy. Seriously.

I've been MIA for the past 2 weeks or so. It has been a very busy 2-weeks for me, and I anticipate this to go on until end of November. Sigh. All these mean that I won't be able to write as much as I would like to in this blog. But fear not, I would still write. Even if I means only 1 post per week, I'd still do it.

Remember my failed attempt with the Origins eye cream? Ever since I finished that one, I've been trying a new eye cream. This time, it's Clinique's All About Eyes Rich. I got a deluxe sample of this (yes, another sample. I love samples. Hehe), and has been using it for the past 3 months. Yes, the sample actually lasted 3 months, and I'm still not done with it yet.

Who's in love with Cheeky Bronze MSF? Me! Me! =P I tried it out today, and it is absolutely gorgeous. No kidding. I applied it with the new #131 brush as a blush. It gives me a very healthy bronze peachy glow, and the gold glitters are not obvious at all.

I wasn't too impressed with this collection, and only ended up getting 2 products.The lipsticks didn't look too exciting to me.

I haven't been writing much about skincare since I started this blog. It's not that I'm not interested in skincare, it's just that they don't have as much variety as (for example) eyeshadows. In fact, I do think that skincare is very important. Much more important than makeup IMHO. Without a good skin, makeup would not look good on the face anyway. My philosophy is: Makeup should not be used to

Months ago, I rambled about O.P.I's super hot South Beach collection, and has been drooling all over them ever since. =P And since O.P.I polishes are sooooo overpriced here, it took me a while to save up some moolah and to finally purchase them.As I mentioned back then, I'm super excited about Done Out In Deco.

Hah!Blushes -- these babies are slowly becoming one of my favs too. I used to be indifferent about them.Mascara -- MUST HAVE! =)Scrubs -- what will I

I know, this review is kind of late. I want to really try it out first before writing the review, as this product has a lot of mixed reviews throughout blog-ville. But better late than never. Right? =PHere's a photo of the MAC Prep + Prime Line Filler beside the regular MAC Prep + Prime Skin primer (to better show the size):A primer used post-foundation, pre-makeup to camouflage, soften and relax

Fancy a quick D.I.Y. foot treatment at home? Why not try the new Japanese innovation: the Foot Pee! Pack. And I can guarantee you, using it will be easy as a pee pea. =PIt promises continuous moisturization, while being 'easy & surprise'. LOL. Sorry for the bad pun. But pun aside, I love japanese stuff.

We all know we have more makeup than we would ever need. *guilty* And we know that all those blushes are going to outlive us. LOL. So, I thought it'll be interesting to start a tag or something like that, to see what are the essentials that we would pick out from the massive collection of ours.Here's the scenario:The world has decided that we have too much makeup and the ruler of planet Earth has

Ever thought about how Japanese get their smooth, flawless porcelain skin? *drum roll*...Nightingale poop. Yes, you hear me right. Bird crap. =DThis specific nightingale we're talking about is a popular Japanese nightingale called "Uguisu no Fun" in Japanese. It has a distinctive call that attracts a lot hikers to the forest and mountains in Japan. Apparently, the bird is not only appreciated

Yup, my current hype is Twilight. I mean the book, not the movie. I actually read the book first, then only watched the movie. And to be honest, the book is like 100 times better. Way better.

There has been a lot of questions regarding how close is On A Mission beauty powder blush to other MAC blushes.See here for my review on On A Mission.Here's a photo comparing On A Mission, Stark Naked (Holiday 2008) and True Romantic (LE). All of them are beauty powder blushes. Photo taken with indoor lighting, NC20-25, no flash.As you can see, On A Mission has more plum than the other two. Stark

Overall, this collection is prefect for summer. It's very bronzy and warm, but with an extra omph in it. I really like this collection. In fact, I like it more than last year's Neo Sci-Fi collection. I think it's because I'm not too found of bright flouroscent orange colored compacts and lipstick tubes. LOL.Here's a photo of what I got:Okay, by now, you might be thinking: what's that black,

Remember my review on the MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder a while ago? I didn't get the chance to get it last time around, as it was sold out here in my local counter. But when I was away (to sit for my examination), I managed to get hold of it at the MAC free standing store there. =) Yay! Totally happy. Very excited. I'm nearly done with the sample I got last time, so this

So, while I was away from home to take my GRE examination, I did some shopping straight after I came out from the examination center. LOL. Yes, it's my kind of way of avenging myself for those crazy nights studying till late.I did pick up a couple of stuff from the Style Warriors Collection. Was sooooo excited when I saw the products in person. =)Here's a sneak preview of the haul:Stay tuned for

I haven't been posting for the past 2 weeks and I truly miss blogging. The past few months was busy busy busy for me, as I have been preparing for an important examination (important to me): the mighty GRE. Yup. You read that right. THE GRE. Sigh...

Who likes a bargain??? I'm pretty sure everyone does. =D Now, one of the most legit way to get cheaper beauty products is through duty free stores (mostly located in international airports). You can most probably find anything they usually have at department stores: from skincare to makeup to fragrances.One of the best deals I've found at the duty free store is mascara. Every girl needs a mascara

I came across this page on Bobbi Brown's website and I got one of those "Aha!" moment. =DI can't agree more with Bobbi on her philosophy in life. And dare I say, it's more or less what I have been trying to keep to all these while. Since 6 years ago, I resolute in changing the way I live my life. Of course it's not a one day change. I made tiny changes to my everyday life, and it took me probably

So you've buy that gorgeous looking jar of face cream and that tube of super volumizing mascara, done using them, what do you with it? Do you just throw the empty containers in the bin? Or did you throw them into your recycling bin, together with all your empty milk cartons and drinking water bottle? Either way, it's not helping the environment at all.Many of us think that by tossing our empty

Here's a mini review of the stuff I got from the collection, and what I think of some of the other stuff that I didn't end up getting. =)First off, here are some photo of the stuff that I got:The swatches above are done without a base and with no flash.Overall, this collection has a very romantic girly theme to it. Most of the products are pinks, rose and purples. If you like soft shades, then

Hey ya'all. Finally! A Rose Romance has arrived to this part of the world. I have been waiting for ages to get my hands on these stuff. Mainly the pigment and eyeshadow. The displayer and testers are actually out on display last weekend, but they haven't receive the actual stock yet (don't you just hate it when they do that). So, I sort of got to play with the stuff last weekend, and think over

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and most of us are probably still wondering what to get that special woman in our life. It can be your mum, Grandma, aunt, or even the nice lady who lives next door. Every woman that has played a role in our life deserves a good gift (or just a hug) on Mother's day. I'm sure that'll make them feel really special. =)Anyways, back to the main topic of this

As per my mineral haul post, I have ordered two eye shadows from Silk Naturals and Karen was nice enough to include a sample of another eye shadow. So, today, I'll be doing a review of all three of them.Here are some photos of the product:And here are some comparison swatches of the three eyeshadows with my M.A.C ones:Firstly, all the eyeshadows are very finely milled.

M.A.C's Color Ready collection came out at the same time as Sugarsweet here. I was able to check it when I went to get my Sugarsweet goodies two weeks ago.The main stars of this collection are the prep + prime products. The eyeshadows are from the permanent range, so they didn't excite me that much. But I was really excited to check out all three of the prep + prime items. I already have the Prep

Guess what? My Silk Naturals package has finally arrived! =D So happy to see it in the mail today. I've been waiting for 4 weeks for this, and now that it's finally here, I can't wait to try them out. Just to clarify, Karen is not at fault for the postal delay at all. For some odd reason, my package got all the way to Zambia (according to the stamps on the envelope), before getting here to me. So

Overall, I think the star of the collection are the shadesticks. They are definitely worth checking out.The new packaging of the new shadesticks are essentially the same as the old one, only that the new ones are fully colored according to the shadestick shade rather than plain old black. The packing is not the reason why I picked these up, it's the texture and the color.And here's the photo

After a very long wait (as usual), I've finally managed to get my hands on some Sugarsweet collection goodies. =) Yay!The only thing that I'm interested in from this collection are the shadesticks. Here's a pic of the damage done this time:Top to bottom: Lemon Chiffon and Butternutty shadesticks And here's one comparing the 2 new shadesticks to the original packaging one.

Some of you has been asking me: Exactly how "small" is the Clinique Lash Power Curling mascara?So, I think the best way to show you the size of the mascara wand is to take a comparison photo of it with other mascara wands.Here's a photo comparing the brush size of M.A.C Prep + Prime Lash, Clinique Lash Power Curling mascara and Lancome Virtuose Black Carat mascara.Left to right: M.A.C Prep+Prime

As some sort of a follow-up to one of my weekly poll, this would be a review about my favorite sunscreen.I have previously tried many sunscreens, and most of them are either too oily to my liking or they just simply smells. When I say they smell, I mean they have this very strong "suncreen smell". You know how most sunscreen for your body has this "smell". I don't really know how to describe it,

This post is just going to be pure ramblings. If you ever get bored halfway through, feel free to just close the browser. I just have to get this out.The truth is, I'm falling in love with blushes. And that is weird coming out from me. One month ago, I would have never ever in a thousand years imagine that I would be saying that today. Have you seen any blush reviews here?

Just in case you're wondering, I'm currently using M.A.C Mineralize Loose Foundation SPF15 in Light Medium. I like the feel and the light coverage of this foundation. But I'm starting to suspect that this might not be the right shade for me. It looks a bit too light and gives me that white-ish cast (if that makes any sense at all). And Medium is too dark for me. Ugh. In fact, I have long suspect

Okay. So some of you might be asking: What happened to the so-called weekly poll thing? LOL. I am so sorry for that. I've been sidetracked by so many things happening around me, mainly at work, that I barely have time to sleep. Yes, my beauty sleep is more important than writing here.

Well, with last week's poll coming to an end, it's time for a brand new one. This week, we'll like to know if you use an eyelash curler or not? It's one of those things that you either do, or you do not. Nothing in between.For me, I used to have a phobia against metal eyelash curler.
