Safely Sun-Kissed : A Review of Emina Sun Protection SPF 30 PA+++
My obsession with sunscreen is no secret. I wear sunscreen outdoor and indoor. I am that person who would rather be late than leave home with not-quite-dry layers of sunscreen.

COSRX Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence (and How I Jumped to The Essence Bandwagon)
Ah, COSRX, how I long to try thee! COSRX is a brand well loved by many, including a lot of international beauty bloggers I trust. Naturally, I was intrigued.

Chill Yo’ Eyebags : A Review of The Body Shop Vitamin E Eyes Cube
Greetings, lurkers of the dark alleys of the internet. I am pleasantly surprised to welcome you here, after a long one and half month of inactivity. During March and first half of April, work had been very demanding. At one point, my supervisor actually said that we need to take a leave and basically get […]
