Once everything is done, I will give constant notices for the next few days and then I will delete this blog.


One of the main reasons why I don’t update very often is because I’d have to log out from my other account and it’s too bothersome :L .

Have a nice day~

Wear two bras. The inner bra can be extra padded or thinly padded, but the outer bra must be thinly padded. If the result is not what you wanted, you can use a safety pin to connect the back straps. Be careful to not stab yourself!




If you’re on a diet and it’s your cheat day (the one day of the week where you let yourself relax and eat a little bit of junk food so you won’t go crazy), drink either green or jasmine tea WHILE you’re eating that junk food. 




After years of contemplation about this curler I have finally bought it! Loljk I bought it because I had no choice since I lost my Jill Stuart curler at camp :P . But I have absolutely no regrets on buying this. In fact, I’m actually glad that I lost my Jill Stuart curler (even though it was bloody expensive). The Shiseido curler is SO much better!

First of all, I’d like to comment about how comfortable this is. I’ve read and watched numerous reviews about this and there is no doubt that this curler is made for Asian eyes. All of the curlers I had used until now would never curl ALL of my lashes and they’d always clamp onto my skin - it hurts! And THIS curler, it had curled 99% of my lashes and it doesn’t clamp my skin at all. I love it! I think this is pretty much my HG eyelash curler, but I’ve yet to try the Shu Uemura one.

Packaging: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
Will I buy this again?: I most likely will if the Shu Uemura one turns out crappy. 




Sorry for the lack of updates!

Today I’ll be writing a review on the Taiwanese brand My Beauty Diary / 我的美容日记。I’ve actually never heard of this brand until I bought this face scrub. And after I got home I did a little research and found out that this brand is very popular among Asian skincare products-users. 

First of all, I must say that the packaging is very adorable! It give off a soft impression - any female would be delighted to use it (and to be honest this is actually my first time using a face scrub :B). I tested it on the back of my hand and noticed that the difference of this and other face scrubs is that this is foam. It was very light-weighted and the smell wasn’t strong.

After constant rubbing until the foam had disappeared, my dead skin started to appear in small balls. After I felt like I had rubbed enough I washed off the scrub and dead skin. I totally loved the after-smell of this scrub! I felt nostalgic in a way, to be honest :P . 

So after my shower, I finally used it on my face. But remember girls, you must not use this scrub while your face is soaking wet otherwise it won’t work at all. Your face must be towel-dried before using it. Many people complained that it was really hard to get the foam out and the alcohol smell of the foam was absolutely unbearable. I’d say that’s because they didn’t shake the bottle properly. It came out fine for me after I shook it and there wasn’t really much of a strong alcohol smell.

After enough rubbing and countless balls of dead skin started to appear, I washed it off with lukewarm water, dried my face and went on to my skin care routine. My face was really smooth afterwards!

However, after I applied my Skinfood Egg White Pore Mask, I had a slightly stinging sensation on the centre area of my face. I’m not sure if this is supposed to happen or not since it was my first time using a face scrub. The same stinging sensation didn’t go away even when I was applying my toner after washing off my face mask. But the sensation wasn’t unbearable, it just felt odd and out of place.

My conclusion is that this scrub is suitable for people with oily to normal skin; definitely not for people with dry and sensitive skin.

Packaging: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5
Fragrance: 4/5
Will I buy it again?: Probably not, I’d like to experiment with other scrubs after I finish this one :) .

One of the many make up problems females face is their lipstick fading or smudging away after a few hours.

One way to prevent this from happening is to apply liquid foundation prior to applying lipstick. The liquid foundation helps lock the colour.

If you’re a little iffy on putting liquid foundation on your lips, you can always use powder. Dabbing a little bit of powder on your lips helps soaking up the natural oils; the dryness helps the lipstick last longer.

Exfoliating your lips also help but only do this if you’re bothered and have the time ^^.
