Pink sponge was damp, it looks bigger than the dry black sponge. We all know about the hype of using a BeautyBlender to apply your foundation and yes I got in sucked into the whole puff and finally tried the Original Beauty Blender. Before this came along, I'm always finger for foundation type of girl. Never really used a brush for my base, tried it with a few brushes but never really like the finishing of it.  With a BeautyBlender, I felt like I've known how to use it even before I got my hands on it because I've watched ample video tutorials where the YouTubers use this sponge to do their makeup. There are so many tips out there on how to use a BeautyBlender, thus I'm not even going to attempt to teach you how I use it because you've probably heard it so many times before. Though, I do have a video coming up where I actually used the pink BeautyBlender to apply my latest favourite Bourjois City Radiance foundation . I believed I literally went "O...

I am absolutely in love with these products! Yup, starting my blogpost with a big reveal that the Bourjois Paris City Radiance Foundation and Radiance Reveal Concealer are the bomb! I have a Get Ready With Me (GRWM) video coming up in two weeks time featuring these products, stay tuned on that. I was a bit weary of the colours at first because I received the Bourjois Air Mat foundation sometime ago but the colour the sent me was way off. I requested for a lighter colour but no one replied my email, so I did not even bother with the review. But these babies, are a complete different story. These new products are made for those who enjoys a light, glowy, yet long-wearing base. It's also surprisingly comfortable even in a hot and humid weather like Malaysia. I can't stop reaching out for these the past month.

I received these from TokyoNinki's website about a month ago and here am I with this review! I have never heard of this brand before and don't know how well this will translate onto my skin. From the website, it's marketed as super hydrating products due to the main ingredient, ceramide. I've heard a lot about ceramides recently but never really understood what does it do to the skin. So I researched it and found that ceramides helps hold skin cells together, forming a protective layer that plumps the skin, retains moisture, and protect it from harmful foreign elements. Apparently, ceramides are also used to treat eczema. Additionally, both Duplair W Ceramide Skincare products comes with collagen too and we all know how collagen is a great anti ageing ingredient for the skin. Either way, they both sounds good to me cause I have really dry skin!

I received the Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask recently and I've decided to do a demo and review with Dex on our YouTube Channel because... well, why not. We had loads of fun filming it! This is the latest addition to the Jeju Volcanic Line that's formulated with Jeju's natural volcanic cluster called "volcanic scoria". Formed from the island's volcano lava flow which contains twice as much nutrients, this ingredient has a much stronger sebum control-capability than mud or red clay.

Trying to lose weight? Yeah, me too. I've gain quite a bit of weight since the new year and CNY, it's not very obvious but there are some of my favourite dresses and pants that I can't dress freely anymore. Plus, doing my masters/studying and working at the same time is really taking a toll on my health cause it's harder for me to find time to exercise. When I was purely just working, I'm out a lot which forced me to walk and move a lot. These days, working from home and studying often only requires me to sit and stare at my laptop for long hours and sometimes, all night. I also tend to snack a lot during my stress seasons, when I have assignment, thesis and work dues. Truly, not the best feeling on earth but I usually allow myself to do it because I need to fuel my brain in order to work on my assignments or thesis particularly. All these contributes to the factor of slowing down my metabolism rate, which obviously causes weight gain. This is where I...

Before I got a collaboration with this brand, I have been researching about collagen powder in the market because I was really interested to finally dive into this range of beauty care. Basically, leveling up my beauty care because I'm 26 this year and really, it's the best time to start with the whole collagen craze for anti-aging. Additionally, I've found that collagen is not only good for your skin, it's also great for the hair. As you all know, I'm engaged and I'm currently looking to grow out my natural hair for my wedding next year, well, if possible, I'm trying to speed my hair growth process.  To have better hair growth, you'll need to have a healthy scalp and I definitely don't have the healthiest scalp as it's always very dry. Often, it flakes that makes it look super ugly dandruff-like flakes, in huge pieces. I believe it could also be due to the fact that I've over-worked my scalp and hair for the past two years. I'...
