Revlon is probably one brand I was exposed to when I was a kid. I remember my Mom used to own a few of their nail polishes and maybe a lipstick. The slanted top black handle with gold trim on the bottle cap always so classy and elegant. Continue reading
There are a lot of websites talking about the benefits of bone or collagen broth so I’ll not go into it. I usually make a big batch of it every few weeks or until I’m running out of it. I do not season it with salt because I prefer to do it when I use it for stew or soup, with either salt, soy sauce or flavourful ingredients like dried scallops, anchovies, etc. Here’s how I prepare my beauty soup stock.
Hi hi, everyone! It’s Friday!! Last week was a long weekend and hence i took some time to browse the beauty corner at the drugstore. I was mindlessly brushing my fingers against some of the Catrice product testers, testing and swatching.

So today, I’m going to DIY at home while my daughter is napping. Continue reading
I have a very bad habit of buying products and stashing them away before I even finish the dozens in my bathroom. Many times, I ended up buying and using the same products over and over again, even they aren’t doing any for me. Hence, I’m going to write down short reviews of the products I had used up every month or 2 months. I guess this helps me to use up the products, and minimize the habit of stashing products away.

Spotted a new range of liquid lipstick at the Bourjois counter at Watson’s – Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque. If I’m not wrong, these are exclusively at Bourjois counters at Watson’s… for now. Unlike its predecessor – Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet – which has matte finish, this new range features intense colour pigment with a shiny gloss finish. Continue reading
