Fragrance: BOSS Bottled Sport

Have you heard? Hugo Boss has an invigorating new fragrance and I’m really loving it! It’s scent is fresh, stimulating and very, very masculine. One word? SEXY.

This is the 3rd addition to Hugo Boss’ BOTTLED portfolio – global top 10 best-selling brand, Boss BOTTLED. BOSS BOTTLED Sport…

Movie: The Dictator

Here’s a movie you should totally check out when it officially releases in Singapore on 14 June! The Dictator is a heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. Sounds serious right? It is anything BUT serious! It’s a hilarious comedy that makes you laugh over and over and over again. My favourite quote from The Dictator, played by Sacha Baron Cohen (BORAT), when his…

Review: Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil for complete makeup removal

For complete makeup removal, I would recommend Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil. It’s made up of a perfect oil blend and removes tough, long lasting makeup such as foundation, mascara and lip colour. See this test I put it through. First I drew on eyeliners (all tough, waterproof ones of different brands), then I piled on dark eye shadows which are all difficult to remove with ordinary cleansers. I pumped once from the Fancl bottle (you can see all liquid oil…

Review: Hada Labo Cleansing Oil

Here’s a newly launched product from Hada Labo – the Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing Oil. It helps to remove dirt, oil and heavy makeup – all in one step, including tough, waterproof mascara and eye liner. Back to Hada Labo’s ‘PERFECT X SIMPLE’ philosophy, it does not contain Mineral Oil which is harmful to the skin and clogs pores, unlike other Cleansing Oils in the market. The 2 key ingredients are: 1) High Purity Olive Oil – ensures high performance…

Hello Sipadan

In the past 3 months, it seems like I let go of a different lifetime that I lived in and then stumbled onto a new life in which I find happiness and… contentment. Who knows how long this feeling will last but this is not a post to contemplate the what ifs. So I went to Bali earlier this year (which ok, fine is not too long ago and only just in end Jan), where it felt like I set…
