Sanctum Body Soothe

Published on 2011-04-01 00:03:00

I came across Sanctum Body Soothe during my stay at a Sydney hotel recently. It's a light lotion that's easily absorbed by my skin and smells strongly of lemon myrtle to my nose. When I checked out the description on the webpage it's supposed to

ELF Studio Angled Eyeliner Brush

The key word here is ANGLED. You can tell that I'm intrigued when I saw the new ELF Studio Angled Eyeliner Brush pictures in my inbox. The blurb on the webpage says, "This thin pointed brush creates even and accurate color application in one

Billy Goat Soap: Milk & Honey

Last year I had to change most of my skincare & bodycare products due to pregnancy. I was so sick I was stuck at home for 4 months. Hubby tried to get me some "non-perfumed" soaps. Unfortunately according to my super-sensitive nose

Kit Cosmetics Lip Sheen

"Minty shine for soft lips and fresh breath" - that's what it says on my tube of Kit Cosmetics Lip Sheen. I've been on the hunt for a lip balm as my lips have felt dry recently, thanks to full-blown A/C to ward off humidity and heat in Cair

Welcome & Goodbye to Max

Published on 2011-03-13 08:26:00

My nephew, Max, was born on 28 Feb 11. He passed away two days later because of health complications. I never saw him, as he was born overseas. Nevertheless, he has made a huge impact in my family's life. I had tears of joy when he was born. I ha

QV Face Purifying Mask

Ever since I got pregnant I had to do a total overhaul of everything I used, from skincare, haircare, to bodycare. Somehow the moment I hit "5 weeks" suddenly my sense of smell went 100X stronger than usual. Even slightly scented produc

Hello everyone!! *waving* I've been away for sooooo long I can't really remember the feeling of blogging.... I hope someone is still around to read this. I have been unwell in the past few months. Reason being: I'm PREGNANT! The early trimester wa

I like to use "natural" products, the kind that says "FREE FROM sulfates, parabens, artificial colours and fragrances..." But I only like them IF they work. Which can be a quite rare occassion in the hair department, as in gen

Book Fever

Published on 2010-10-19 02:17:00

Today is all about books. Just because I'm still having fever on and off this week. This "Woman Flu" is worst than what I had before. Thank God for books! Here are the ones I've finished in the past few weeks. Look away if you don't like r

"Woman Flu", Anyone?

Published on 2010-10-13 01:06:00

The famous "Man Flu" was over in 2 days, helped by endless amount of "Magnum P.I." on dvds. Until I hummed the theme song in my sleep... Then "Woman Flu" attacked for 2 solid weeks. Sore throat, fever, body ache, swollen

How Do You...

... deal with flu, especially if it's a "MAN'S FLU"??? The best answer will get my gratitude and a spot in my "Hall of Fame". :)

Charles Worthington Moisture-Seal Shampoo and Conditioner

Published on 2010-09-22 00:11:00

Last week I finished my Charles Worthington Moisture-Seal Shampoo and the matching Moisture-Seal Conditioner. Sometimes I get bored easily, so using up two full-size bottles (250ml) brings a certain amount of satisfaction. I would have been able to

Benefit Eyecon Brightening Eye Cream

Published on 2010-09-16 02:22:00

For the past 10 days I've been using Benefit Eyecon Brightening Eye Cream sample I received from my swap with GQ long, long time ago... So far I'm impressed with it. The supposed "fading action" really works, I can see the difference on t

Innoxa Line-Defying Eye Creme

Published on 2010-09-15 01:53:00

I bought Innoxa Line-Defying Eye Creme when my favourite eye contour gel (Germaine de Capuccini = GdC) turned super runny. Which wasn't the gel's fault, really, as it had served me faithfully for about a year (12 months expiry date on the tube). Th

Chouquette, Gateaux, Eclairs

Published on 2010-09-13 22:33:00

Back in July I had a little trip to Brisbane. At that time I was missing French pastries, so much so that I dragged hubby and his brother to New Farm to visit an authentic French Patisserie called  Chouquette, which is actually the name of one of

Garnier CleanSensitive 2 in 1 Waterproof Make-Up Remover

Published on 2010-09-10 02:23:00

I'm pleased to announce that Garnier CleanSensitive 2 in 1 Waterproof Make-Up Remover has officially got rid of the bad taste left by the recent power-cuts. Not powerful enough to wipe Labour out of this world though. *wink* Back to wiper remover.

Another Power Cut

Published on 2010-09-08 07:34:00

The title says it all. Now you know why I can't blog as regularly as I did. I'm officially living in an un-civilized place. Even "developing countries" don't have this much power cut. Atrocious. Perhaps it's to "celebrate" Labour
