3 months ago, I took a risk and brought along a never-tried-before moisturiser – Nameraka Honpo Wrinkle Gel Cream – to Guangzhou for a vacation. Admittedly, I was worried. “What if the cream is not moisturising enough?” “Would it clog my pores and cause me to break out?” Thankfully, Nameraka Honpo did not fail me. In fact, the Wrinkle Gel […]
We haven’t talked about foundation for quite a while, have we? Today, let’s talk about one that I’ve brought back from Japan – Integrate Gracy White Liquid Foundation. Are you looking for a foundation that’s formulated to suit middle-aged skin? Do you want to hide your skin’s imperfections without looking like you have a lot of makeup on? If you
Sorry, beauty pals. I’ve been busy at work and could only dedicate time for travel posts. But today, I’m gonna skip that and share one wonderful and affordable Japan beauty find. And that’s Majolica Majorca Eye Shadow. Bought this eyeshadow during my solo Tokyo trip and absolutely love it! If you like a small and portable eye shadow that suits

Hey friend, I’ve something cheap and good to share with you today – Cezanne Natural Cheek Blusher which I’d first hauled back from Okinawa in 2019.

When travelling in Tokyo, I asked a Japanese local which beauty products were worth recommending. And she said, “Decorte Liposome Repair Serum.” Hey all, if you’ve read my Tokyo Travelogue, you would know that I made a new Japanese friend on a train when travelling to Hakone, a mountainous hot spring town. This friendly lady recommended two beauty products of
Do you often break out from using BB cream? If you do, check out Media BB Cream as it has been proven to be safe on my pimple-prone skin. I like it so much I’ve repurchased this every time I visit Japan or Taiwan. As you see, I’d never had much luck with BB cream. Most of them caused me
Hey guys, let’s talk about one popular beauty product from Japan – DHC Lip Cream. I first reviewed this product in 2014. Since then, some things have changed. For instance, they now have tinted ones known as DHC Color Lip Cream, and “extra moisturising” ones among others. I also found out a few cons of this product. Instead of updating
My forehead wrinkles were banished for just over $200 back in 2014 when I first published this post about Botox treatment at Cutis Medical Laser Clinics. During then, only 13 units of botox were administered to erase my forehead wrinkles, which included the glabella (the two vertical lines you see between your eyebrows) and horizontal crease lines. I was very
Clio Superproof Brush Liner has successfully converted me into a liquid liner lover. This is a big deal because I’d stayed away from liquid eyeliner for decades. The last time I’d used it was probably when I was still in my teens as I recalled liquid eyeliner being very difficult to use. Other than the need to have a steady
