I am obsessed with shopping and this syndrome only starts during lunch breaks. Recently many on-line retailers have been having Cyber Sale....and I made several purchases from HERMO, ALTHEA & ELIANTO. I felt I got myself good deals from these sites. I won't be doing a collective haul review this time...I will be doing reviews by brands. The first brand review that I am going to share with you guys is from It's Skin. I am not sure on the number of types of products they have, but I found good reviews on their serum range - Power 10 Formula Effectors. Their website dint really have much details,  online retailers like Hermo  & Althea have done a good job in displaying decent product specification write ups.  I bought 6 bottles. Got 4 from Hermo (RM 28 per bottle) & 2 from Althea (RM 25 per bottle). Althea did not have the Yeast Serum (YE Effector) Very affordable and comes in 30 ml colorful bottles. They have 10 types to choose from. Each seru...

I am like Doraemon when it comes to having all the things one needs during a travel. Doraemon has an infinite pouch and I have a huge handbag that houses everything….and I mean everything from sunscreen to earphone….books to makeup bag etc.  Is a basic human right to carry a makeup bag for emergency purposes….not medical but makeup emergencies? What will I do if I have a lipstick meltdown situation or a stray eyebrow calamity at the given moment? What will I do? No compromise….the price you pay for being an over anxious makeup junkie are the weights on the shoulder blades. My dears friends, I am so sure ….we are in the same boat. I have hence  organized  ( When is makeup ever a clutter?) my makeup and decided only to take what I really really need…(like 3 lip colours) ….but they are from different formula families…..Let me share with you how I organize my makeup bag and what I carry in them? 1. Go Light Firstly, pick a makeup bag which is lightweight…this ...

Introducing my new series; p.s I love lipsticks. I shall be sharing with you guys my take on lipsticks. Generally, I gravitate towards darker shades of lipstick and lately I have been loving everything about liquid lipsticks. I really love the formula it comes in. Who am I kidding right? I know they tend to dry out faster and at times dry out the lips completely. But, ladies beauty comes with a price and in this case you got give a little TLC to your lips prior to applying these liquid lipsticks. Once you do that, trust me the finish will be flawless. May be I will share my lip care routine with you guys too. Quick tip: scrub your lips (exfoliate) and splatter generous amount of lip butter every opportunity you get (moisturize). If you do this you too can have great looking lips, than  you can duck face all you want in selfies too. I got a few liquid lipsticks for my birthday, my mum bought them from me. If you don't already know my mum is my beauty guru. I used to love ...
