Storage - Spray Bottles


Spray bottles come at different prices. I always try to get mine from an accessory shop near the Tanjong Pagar Market (think the shop is named May). It is so much cheaper there, compared to other shops. Watson ones are way overpriced.

I use spray bottles for toners, my SK2 water, my hair leave in conditioner etc....for everything:)

Lipstick Review - Revlon Color Burst in Soft Nude



In the last picture, I applied the lipstick over my lower lips only. In real life, this lipstick is less red compared to my natural lips.  If I apply it thickly over my lips, I look like I have no lips.

I bought this after seeing lots of rave reviews on this nude lipstick on foreign boards / you tube, but am left disappointed by the color. It accentuates the redness of my face, as now my face is redder compared to the lips. This is my second nude lipstick (the first was a disaster too).

The texture of the lipstick is good though. Very light on the lips, no scent, does not really accetuate the lines on the lips etc.  I have found  a good use for it now:)

I use it as a lip primer. In some mu books, they recommend using foundation on the lips, so that the color of the lipstick is more vibrant. Hence instead of using foundation, I use this first, before applying my lipstick.

Lipstick Review - ZA Pure Shine Lips PK1




In the last picture, I applied the lipstick only on the lower lips only. I was initially hesistant to buy it, as I own lots of lipsticks, but the color was so cute...so bright and pink. I think this suits people with perfect skin seeking a light glossy look (but not for me). The product gives a super glossy bright pink, but I find that the product looks too oily on my lips, and accentuates my lip lines ....not too attractive.

Storage - Nail sticker folder




I am sure as a little girl, most of us would have a sticker book. However now that I am all grown up, I still have a sticker book. A nail sticker book that is. I bought this at a stationery shop (less than $4), and it is now very easy to look through which sticker suits the nail color best, and pick up the sticker (without smudging my still wet nails), and than put the sticker back in place. When bored, I also enjoy flipping through my sticker conquests.

Purchase of the day - Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera 100% Gel


With rose petal scent ...smells heavenly.

Makeup remover - Aloe Vera Makeup Remover Tissues LUS


LUS means Lovely Your Skin and the product is from Guardian. This product caught my eye as it was the cheapest makeup remover I could find....only $3.90 for 24 Sheets from Guardian. I have tried Biore, Nivea and Beauty Formulars, but this is better.
- Cheaper
- Thicker tissue
- Wetter formular
- Tissue does not dry up that easily
- Tissue pulls out sheet by sheet and not all togehter

The only pros is that, like all the others I have tried, this may not remove super water proof makeup (e.g. certain mascaras). But this removes my Revlon Color Stay Foundation well, and my water proof mascara...hence it is still a great product.

Storage - Daiso Fake Nails


As I own lots of nail polish, it can become a headache when deciding which color you want for the week. With this fake nails, I feel like a professional manicurist. Bought several pieces for $2 from Diaso. It was a hassel coloring this nail plate, but the effort is worthwhile.
