It’s no secret that I prefer no-frills, cost-effective skincare. However, when days in lockdown become inseparable from the next one, and maintaining skincare routine turns into a chore, I grew more appreciation towards the experiential side of skincare. After all, taking care of your skin shouldn’t feel only like an obligation, it should also be […]
Review : SNP Bird’s Nest W+Eye Cream Wrinkle Care + Whitening
Eye cream is an essential skincare products for night-owls and as one of them, I am in dire need of a good one. Dark circles resulted from years of sleeping deprivation, plus dryness around eye area means more visible eye wrinkles. Eye wrinkles from years of smiling are cute but eye wrinkles from lack of […]
Utama Spice Acne Treatment Oil : Acne Free, The Natural Way
What do you do when a wild pimple appear a night before an important event? My first response (after panicking) would be to reach for my trusted tea tree essential oil. Dab it before sleep, and I usually wake up with my pimple trouble controlled. However, I later learned that tea tree oil shouldn’t be […]

To say that I could not live without vitamin C serum would be too much, but I can safely say that I would be really, really uncomfortable living without them. It used to be hard to get them; I could still remember those dark, […]

Upping The Exfoliation Game : A review of COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid
I used to be a bit squeamish about chemical exfoliation, until my last year encounter with COSRX BHA One Step Pimple Clear Pad, which is (in my humble opinion) the perfect product for acid-noobs. A few tubes of exfoliation pads later, I am ready to continue my Exciting Exfoliants Exploration™. It just seems logical to […]
Nivea White Oil Control Make Up Clear 2 in 1 Foaming Cleanser : A Short(-ish) Review
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. […]
