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. I am that one friend who would creep behind your back and whisper,”More sunscreen. Mooooaaar!” if you are not applying enough. I always strive to […]

Evening and Weekly Skin Care Routine (June 2017 edition)
It is too long overdue, but here I am again! I have been busy with work lately (same old, same old), and my cat Hachiko just gave birth to five kittens! Of course, like a proper, mature twenty-something woman with her life priorities set straight, I spent my free time taking care and cuddling with […]

Morning Skincare Routine (June 2017 Edition)
Last week was an Eid week and I have braced myself for the standard questions from my nosy-but-lovable friends and relatives. You know, those “when will you get married”, “when will you start master study”, and all its possible variation/combination. One question I did not expect to come up at all is, “What skin care products […]
Utama Spice Green Leaf Face Mask and Scrub (Also Known Privately as The Legolas Mask)
If you are a face-mask junkie (like yours truly), chances are you already have more face mask than what is considered normal.

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. However, using acid products could be highly irritating and/or give you legit purging, and I was just not mentally ready for another breakout. Even those that (hopefully) […]

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.

Utama Spice Temu-Temu Face Mask : My Mask Bae
The day I bought this mask, I did not know that I just got a golden ticket to the good skin factory. I had been eyeing this mask for quite some time. It was quite affordable (unlike some clay masks that I should not mention). It was made from Temulawak (Curcuma xantorrhiza), a herbal ingredients […]
