My Ongoing Saga in Search for Proenza Schouler x MAC
I’m always a little wary of designer collaborations with cosmetics lines… or makeup extensions of designer labels for that matter. Few have the business acumen of Marc Jacobs, domineering personality of Tom Ford, nor the machinery to keep on churning out interesting products like Chanel. Capsule collaborations are usually more about the fancy packaging than … Continue reading
Dior Spring/Summer 2014 Backstage Box
After swatching all the Dior Transat eyeshadow palettes, I decided to pass on them because they all felt somewhat powdery to me. And also, I am sucker for nice prints, which was sadly lacking. Then on my way back to the office, I was led to the Dior Backstage store by a dear friend (you … Continue reading
Bite Beauty Cashmere Lip Cream in Crush
For the longest time I’ve been searching for safer alternatives to lip colors. If there is 1 beauty product that truly needs to be natural and green, it has to be something with the highest probability of being ingested. And so I was ecstatic to try Bite Beauty, whose essence of being is to create … Continue reading

I’m talking about these new lip and cheek tints, … Continue reading
An Epic Tale…and Va-Va-Voom Lips with Dior Addict Fluid Sticks!
I had a harrowing day yesterday… on my way to work, I collided into a taxi and was rear-ended by another, followed by another. Yup, 4 cars in total. Epic mid-week drama. So there I was, standing between 3 men, and fully expecting all 3 to turn belligerent as Singaporean drivers are wont to (the … Continue reading
YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush Lip & Cheek Color
I have a theory (which is probably true but I just don’t have actual solid evidence since I don’t work in the beauty industry) that some giant makeup manufacturer comes up with something new each year, and then OEMs or licenses the idea out to all the other brands. Either that or they’re all copycats. … Continue reading

Are you tired of all my yabbing on about K-lips trend yet? Indulge me on just 1 more… I promise this will be worth your while! Laneige Serum Intense Lipsticks have been dubbed LED lipsticks as they are intensely pigmented, delivering vivid colors that resemble LED lighting. The plus side to a bright lip, is … Continue reading
