Biotherm Tent

28 January 2007

Biotherm’s going on a serious body campaign. There’s a giant banner hanging down the roof of Tangs. And now this…

They built a mobile tent outside the Heeren which they are bringing round Singapore. Smart. Just like that Puma Venue box, except Venue did it much cooler.
So there’s this machine which can measure your body fat, [...]

Shu UV Under Base DF

26 January 2007

This just in through email. Now this is interesting. It claims to create a smooth base for foundation and a final beautiful finish. Yes we all want that. It can be worn alone for natural looking skin (recommended ONLY if you are pretty much flawless), or under foundation to help it last longer. This product [...]

Anna Unfortunate Lip Gloss

26 January 2007

The promotion area at Isetan Scotts (up till next Thurs 1 Feb 2007):

It’s not Anna’s fault that she was born with an unlucky surname. But to christen an entire lip gloss collection after misfortunate is just asking for it. But for the beauty junkie like me, the new 2007 spring collection and colours are beckoning [...]

Estee Lauder’s New Nutritious

25 January 2007

This is the American cosmetics giant’s answer to the upcoming Chinese New Year. New Nutritious! It’s supposed to be meant for Asian women (we’ve heard that one before) and it’s based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
It’s not surprising to constantly have new offerings coming from this brand, but what is intriguing is the company’s move [...]

Narciso Brush

25 January 2007

My current favourite fragrance… in a brush!
“For Her Powder Brush delightfully releases a pale pink mother of pearl powder that is gently scented with the notes of For Her fragrance. A sensual and feminine way of wearing the For Her fragrance, this is the ultimate expression of glamour and elegance.”
I’m imagining how impractical this [...]

Shu Uemura paradox

24 January 2007

“Perfect beauty exists in imperfection. PARADOX, where everything seems to be incompatible, you will find that every paradox results in beauty”
by Mr. Shu Uemura
either very deep or utter rubbish. Nothing in this collection really screams out for me to buy it. It’s just another colour collection from the man. Pretty colours no doubt. Where are [...]

M.A.C Cool Couture

24 January 2007

I just bought this today and am super loving it even before I get to try it tomorrow morning.

The new M.A.C Couture pressed powder compact – not cheap at $86, but comes with an extra powder refill with sponge. That was a pleasant surprise. The compact itself feels very heavy (hence seemingly expensive), but beauty [...]

Kose Eye Fantasist

22 January 2007

Since this is my first product review on the blog, I’ll begin with a product I love and have been using since it’s launch in 2003.
But someone please tell me what kind of a name is Eye FANTASIST? Surprisingly, this stuff is really good. It’s a cream to powder eye shadow that glides on smoothly. [...]

Chio bu!

22 January 2007

Yes, sometimes I wonder what the hell it is I’m talking about. But I can get away with it because I’m a chio bu. Mind you, I wasn’t born pretty. It’s the multitude of beauty choices I have now in Singapore that has made me obsessed with achieving that perfect skin, perfect smile and perfect [...]
