Since the beginning of this year (and a few days before that) I’ve started on my multi-vits and vitamin E. This is all for the purpose of getting myself fit (for the summer especially, hehe) and to get a healthier skin since I am not getting any younger.
I’ve noticed a lot of changes since I started and one of them is my body clock. I actually sleep a lot and at the right time. I’m awake in the morning and asleep at night. I do feel tired a lot lately but I reckon it’s due to the fact that my …read more

Guava Body Butter
What it is:
A divinely rich, guava-scented smoothing cream for dry elbows, heels, and knees.
What it is formulated to do:
The emollient balm can also be used over the entire body, preferably onto warm, damp skin, after bathing to lock-in moisture.
This may be synthetic and the glorified version of the Guava treatment on the skin but I reckon it’s a start. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, well, here in my country we have this practice wherein we use Guava on the skin. I’ll save further explanation on the treatment for a later post.
I recommend creams or …read more

Sunsilk Intensive Treatment
Hair Fall Solution
Sunsilk Hair Fall Solution Intensive Treatment – enhanced with the strengthening power of Ginseng and Soya Protein Complex, gives deep nourishment and conditioning for extra strength and protection against hair fall and split ends for up to 95%.
A couple of months ago, I gave Sunsilk’s Intensive Treatment line a try when I went and bought their Sunsilk Intensive Treatment Damage Repair. I immediately fell in love with how well it went with my hair and was extremely satisfied with its results. However, since I also knew that there was another in that same Intensive Treatment line …read more

Sensa Tea Tree Oil Foaming Facial Wash
Australian Tea Tree Oil, known for its anti-bacterial properties, combined with moisturizing Olive Extracts deeply cleanses by removing oil and dirt that can cause blemishes without drying or irritating your skin. Safely lifts dead skin cells and stimulates skin renewal for younger, healthier, more radiant looking skin.
While I was out shopping yesterday, I was checking out the Neutrogena facial scrub, I spotted this particular facial wash, Sensa’s Tea Tree Oil Foaming Facial Wash, on the same shelf. I almost gave in on the whim to buy it, just out of pure curiosity, but I …read more

In reference to my previous post on How to Apply Geisha Makeup, I went about the whole thing in a very practical manner, listing general makeup and tools.
Christina of eBeautyDaily had requested a more traditional approach, which I interpreted as finding an authentic set of makeup to create the Geisha look esp since there is that bit of a problem when it comes to the white face paint, a vital if not the most important part of the whole look.
Since I already briefly told you about the process that’s involved in the application, not to mention, the useful video …read more

I’d like to list the actual cosmetics used in Geisha makeup but I reckon it’ll be more practical for most to make do with what makeup are readily available but can also work. I hope traditionalists won’t get offended by this.
Things you need are:

Brush-On Beads
The Body Shop
Shimmering, colored powder beads with light diffusing particles and pearl pigments to brighten and add color to the face, cheeks, and decolletage.
I’ve been eyeing a pot of the Brush-On Beads over at The Body Shop for quite sometime now. Finally, I’ve bought one and tried the product out and I’ve got a thing or two to say about it. Colour is something I value in the use of makeup. I go for the more natural look, hopefully, I’d look fresh and polished. I love blushes and eye makeup. But let’s focus on the former today.

Dove Cool Moisture Foaming Facial Cleanser
This foaming facial cleanser works into a rich lather that deeply cleans and moisturizes your skin. Gently cleanses tired, stressed skin and leaves your face refreshed and hydrated.
I’ve been using this facial foam for weeks now. Actually, I use two different foams, one is for exfoliation purposes from Pond’s (which I’ll probably tell you guys about in a later post) and this one from Dove, which mainly addresses my need to moisturise, and hydrate my skin. I reckon I already mentioned just how frequent I wash my face in a day. With the rate …read more

Before you guys go curl up, here’s another set of tips to optimise that curling iron.
When I shared my version of the natural-looking curly hair styling tip, Dexie Wharton of Style It Less and I got to talking about her “Les Curles”. I had wanted to see how her curls looked like and she not only sent a couple of photos but also shared a set of instructions on how she worked them curls.
Take a look at another woman with Asian straight hair gunning for some curls.

1. Apply mousse while wet then blow dry.
2. Holding the curling iron, vertically, gather …read more

I sat down and spent a considerable amount of time on my new beauty toy, aka VS Curling Iron, getting to know it (again). There’s that one look I’ve had in mind that I’ll definitely try to master, you see. The natural-looking curls look.
Some might cry out, “why in the world would you want to do that to your straight Asian hair?!” Simple. Most people want what they don’t have. Agree?
Well, I’ve tried perm and I’m never and I repeat, NEVER going to go that route again. EVER. I feel so strongly about it, huh? Traumatic experience, I tell you. …read more
