I've only been to one wedding in my adult life and it was one of a friend's friend that involved me wailing in front of my closet, wondering why I only buy t-shirts and jeans, and ended up desperately borrowing a bold red, borderline inappropriately scandalous bodycon dress from a friend. Now, I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't have...


I previously talked about how I'm on the fence with liquid lipsticks - they tend to make me feel like I've been let loose in an art class before I've fully developed my motor skills. I've refused to give up on this trend and I think I might have found the perfect product for people that have a tendency to look like they've...
I'm going to say this first as I can already see the potential backlash this post might bring. I am in no ways making fun of the people that wrote these lyrics, nor do I have any ill intention of mocking people's language abilities. Hell, I'm not even able to English nor Chinese properly most of the time. I've listened to K-pop, or...

What happens when three of your products run out at the same time and there's an abundance of Korean makeup stores in the near vicinity? You shop. I have never really gravitated towards Korean makeup, a lot of it due to the packaging that I came across being well, very pink. I prefer my packaging to be sleek and less 'I'm stuck in...
I've had an online identity since I was in my preteen days - I'm pretty sure that there are some of you that wouldn't recognise the dial-up tone and the struggle of not being able to use the internet because someone was on the phone. Yeah, those were the fossil days. So it's not an exaggeration to say that I have a relatively...
I love makeup, but I'm rarely excited by makeup anymore. Yes, it is as sad as it sounds. Let me explain. I do still get happy when I try out products that I end up liking, but very rarely do I use a product and have that 'butterflies in my stomach, where have you been all my life, the nutella to my strawberry'...
favourite posts of 2015.

I did a roundup of the 2014 crowd pleasers at the start of the year, and although I've published a significant smaller amount of posts, it's still nice to see a annual capsule of the blog. As usual, thank you for listening to me babble on and on about makeup and things that are going on or not going on in my life. I still...
an actual five minute face.

I love spending time on my makeup, but there are days when I just can't be fussed and want a quick makeup look that I can throw on and leave the house within 5 minutes. There are a lot of 'five minute' makeup looks that can probably actually be achieved within the time frame by the person that posted it - but let's...
15 lessons 2015 taught me.
- 1.1.16
12 months is short enough to go by in a blink of an eye, but it's also long enough to feel like an eternity. The lessons that life teaches you over the span of 365 days is enough to transform you into a completely different person. I'm still me, but I'm not who I was at the start of the year. 1. Some...
