Here is a question to all the readers – what are you doing this summer to get in shape? You’ve already been with my on my quest to get more fit – from the gym memberships, to detoxing, to finding the right balance between eating healthy and indulging myself. It’s made a difference, but i […]
It’s not even July and we’ve already tried a gamut of self-tanning lotions. We tried a few with shimmer this spring, but unless you’re in a major hurry, your best bet is going with a lotion that works gradually. You’ll make fewer mistakes, and when you do make a mistake, it’ll be subtle and easy […]
After years of writing this blog, I’ve finally reached the point where I need the help of my readers. I finally decided to try on some fake nails, and I tried Revlon’s first. The only problem is that the instructions on them are minimal at best, and they don’t warn you of anything when it […]
This one is close to my heart. I adore pink lipcolour and blush. To me, there is nothing more natural and more real than having pink lips. They are healthy and look like a young kid’s would! I like to experiment with all kinds of pink lip colours, and have neutrals, naturals, nudes, and of […]
Nope, I never ever use a lip liner, but I know that it’s because I’m pressed with quite shapely lips. Even when I wear a red lipstick, I like the smudgy stained look instead of a perfect Dita Von Teese one so I avoid the liner and never get one. What about you? Best Liners […]
Can you make your pores smaller? Nope. There is no way no how and cosmetic companies know that which is why their products always say the continued use will only make pores APPEAR smaller.

I get asked a lot about Bare Escentuals. I think it’s because this San Francisco-based company has been around for a while and there’s a lot of marketing around it. I myself have not had great experience with it. You have to blend the foundation to make your own colour and that’s a process that […]
This is an easy question to answer, and I think that people have heard the answer, but they’re not sure whether to believe it. How can you make your makeup last longer? Just use a primer! How can a primer help? Well it absorbs oil before it gets to your makeup, and once it’s absorbed […]
One of the questions that I always get is whether or not eye creams work. The short answer is: no. So far, there is no proven ingredient that can really lessen bags or dark circles, and the only things that can help is to drink more water, get more sleep, and use a better concealor. […]
Over dinner with a couple of friends a little while ago, I was surprised to hear that they both thought that there was a major oversight on this blog. There’s one product that both of them use and had used for many years, and I hadn’t mentioned: St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Of course, I was […]
