My Skincare Products




This Cetaphil cream is my life saver. I have a really dry skin, and everytime I put a concealer under my eyes, there are some dry patches coming out. Ever since I use this moisturizer, my skin feels more hydrated and healthy. The only downside about this cream is that it doesn't contain SPF so you are going to need a separate sunblock.

P.S. You can find this at any drugstores 


My mom actually recommended me to use this Cetaphil cleanser. There is no foam coming out of this cleanser what so ever. So when you rub it against your skin, it just feels like gel. My mom said that it is a good thing because it means that they don't put tons of chemical substances into this cleanser. I am not really sure, but it works well for my skin type even though it doesn't remove my foundation really well. I have to use a makeup remover wipes or  Bioderma before I clean my face with this cleanser. 


I cannot tell you how much I love this face scrub by SEACRET. I bought this in Singapore not so long ago. It is kind of pricey, but I can assure you that it is worth every penny I spent. It leaves your skin feeling so soft and unbelievably clean. 


This one is a body scrub, and made out of minerals from the dead sea. I just use a little tiny bit of this, and it works so well. My body feels really really soft like I can't even describe it. It is just an amazing product to try. The only downside is that their products is a little pricey than what I would usually go for. However, it has become my favorite products these past months.

I hope you guys find this post helpful :)

Favorite New Products

I have been trying new make up products lately, and this Sephora eye shadow palette is one of them. I have been told that Sephora's products are not that great; People say that the eye shadows' pigmentation is really bad, the eyeliner rub off so easily, and such thing. My mom gave me this palette not so long ago, and when I tried it, the eye shadows are pretty pigmented. I personally think that this palette is better than NYX eye shadows according to the pigmentation.



Mary Lou highlighter by The Balm is officially my favorite highlighter. It is not as expensive as High Beam by Benefits, and the quality is amazing. This product has a gold undertone while High Beam has a pink undertone. The packaging is also cute; However, I would not put this product inside my purse. I once put it in my purse when I went to Singapore, and the inside was literally ruined into pieces. I decided to put the pieces back together with rubbing alcohol. It doesn't look as great as before, but I don't really care as long as I can still use it.



I got this Hello Kitty palette from my friends on my birthday a year ago. I haven't used this until probably a week ago because I don't really like the colors. Nothing is wrong with this palette, the colors are pigmented, it glides on so easily, and the packaging is really nice. However, some of the colors aren't really my taste. 

A week ago, I wanted to do purple smokey eyes with this palette, and guess what? It turned out to be so pretty and stayed on all day. I was really impressed. The blush is also great because it has a gold shimmery undertone when you put it onto your cheeks. 




Who knows that Victoria's Secrets actually has some great eye shadows palette? I have to say that their eye shadows are amazing. It is also better than Sephora's eye shadows palette because the colors of this palette is just so bold and easy to apply. I promise you guys, I am not just saying it because Victoria's Secrets is my favorite brand, but their makeup palettes are honestly really great. I know this brand is not specificied for make up products; however, you just have to try it and see.



My friends keep talking about Naked Flushed palette, and I was dying to find out how great this product really is. As you can see, it is great for travelling because it includes a bronzer, a blush, and a highlighter in one palette. The mirror is also really helpful and big. Basically, this product is what I expect it to be even though I wish there's something in between the bronzer, highlighter, and blush to separate them so that the shimmer from the highlighter won't be mixed together with the bronzer and blush.


I hope you all enjoy this post.

Love,
