Are Beauty Products Worth Their Price Tags?
I’ve been mulling over this topic for a very long time now. As I grow older, I find my skin’s needs changing, and thankfully my purchasing power has improved alongside my appetite for higher-end beauty products. Am I just a sucker for marketing gimmicks or do these stuff really work?? I had the “pleasure” of […]
The truth about beauty products
A friend of mine is on a rampage to eliminate all (and I mean ALL) potential carcinogens from her life. Every few days or so, I’d hear one ingredient or another that may cause cancer. First, it was Zinc Oxide, a physical blocker commonly used in sunblocks. Then Titanium Oxide. Today, it was Talc. In […]
The inaugural Aveda Catwalks for Water in Singapore!
Last night was Aveda’s inaugural Catwalks for Water in Singapore, held at NTUC Center’s auditorium. I have been a big supporter of Aveda (both the company and its products…see here) for its environmental friendliness and holistic approach towards beauty. In addition to reducing its own environmental footprint, Aveda has been a strong advocate in the […]

Until my ob-gyn started nagging me yesterday. It’s not that hard really… i just need to decide which skincare & beauty products to go into my bag! Should I […]
Korean beauty products…hits & misses
Earlier this year, I traveled to the land of mass market beauty products a.k.a. Korea. I was really looking forward to trying out all these great products that everybody keeps raving about, and loading up my stash at cheap cheap prices. With the vast array of offerings, it was way too easy to over-indulge. As […]
Beauty expiration
I had a rude awakening recently when I received a couple of rather dated cosmetic products, an eyeshadow palette and a lip gloss from a particular UK brand. Whilst i’m not always the most vigilant about expiration dates, and often keep products in my stash far longer than i should, it really bothered me when […]
