A few weeks ago, I very wisely decided to splurge my skin care budget on a year worth of hand creams. This called for drastic saving on other parts of my routine (and lunch allowance)…so I’ll be honest with you, this product I am reviewing right now was not bought using my own money. […]
Get Prettier in 2018 : The Snarker’s 2018 Beauty-Related Resolutions
So I received a bill for domain renewal in my e-mail, and I suddenly remembered that I have a beauty blog. LOL, okay, actually I do remember, almost all the time. I just kind of pushed it to the back of my mind due to various reasons. Sorry, and (especially to recurring readers) thank you […]

Noob-Friendly Acid : A Review of COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad
Confession time : I am a bit squeamish about putting acid on my face. I know that my oily, acne-prone(-ish) and hyperpigmentation-laden skin could really benefit from chemical exfoliation.
