Amazing Makeup Under S$20 - Review of Palladio Velvet Matte + First Impressions of other Palladio Picks

Sponsored

Every girl deserves to be pretty; quality makeup should be made accessible to everyone.

That is my fundamental belief.

Although I am an avid collector of luxury makeup as well, I still believe the market needs more affordable and high quality makeup... so everyone can look & feel beautiful, anytime. In my quest for cheap & good makeup, I have met certain beauty brands that did not disappoint. However, these are only a handful...and sometimes even "drugstore" beauty products cost more than $25 for a single item.

PALLADIO BEAUTY SINGAPORE 

Palladio is a US drugstore brand that retails at Ulta - a large chain of beauty stores in USA. Palladio is unique for infusing its cosmetics with botanical herbs and vitamins. This year 2016, Palladio Singapore officially launches at Guardian Singapore.

Their products are marked at incredible prices, not exceeding SGD20 for any one item.

I am thrilled to share some of my favourite picks from the brand, starting with their very popular...

Review of Lafine Vegetable Deep Cleansing Cream

Editorial

The current market has no lack of oil makeup removers and makeup cleansing water. However, in comparison, there isn't as wide a range of cleansing cream available.

For sensitive or dry skin, makeup removing can be a nightmare if one does not use the right makeup remover. In fact, for anyone who uses makeup, the first utmost important step to good skin is makeup removing!

When I saw that in the August '16 Beauty Box, there appeared a jar of Deep Cleansing Cream, my curiosity was piqued immediately. BNT always sends amazing K-Beauty products that are not-as-accessible in Singapore as of now; this time round, it is no exception.

Review of BEIGE CHUU Hard Finish Wood Pencil Eyebrow

Editorial

My August '16 BNT Beauty Box consists of the three items:

1. Kicho Sheep Oil Cream

2. Lafine Vegetable Deep Cleansing Cream

3. Beige Chuu Hard Finish Eyebrow

Note: I will only be reviewing item number 2 and number 3, as I am allergic to lanolin oil. My face has a lot of breakouts lately so all the more I have to avoid it. 

For starters, I will share my thoughts on the BEIGE Hard Finish Eyebrow. Much anticipation for this product because it is a dupe of Shu Uemura Hard Formula Brow Pencil...

Eliminating Stress with Spa Ceylon De-Stress Home Spa range

Sponsored

"I am so stressed!" I am sure everyone has said that at some point in time, or have heard of people around you saying that. In a fast-paced society like Singapore, stress is inevitable. But stress is also the causal factor for a lot of illnesses.

How do you beat stress? For me, there are a few tested-and-proven methods to combat the stresses of life. First is to exercise, second is to chill out over a good cuppa with good company/good friends, and lastly go for massage and enjoy some good ol' aromatherapy.

Recently I have been invited to the Healing Touch at Tanglin Shopping Centre for a massage therapy session - a collaboration with Spa Ceylon De-Stress range. That night I could sleep like a baby after losing sleep for many days...all thanks to the masseuse,  Anne's magic touch.

I also brought the spa back home!

Or so I wished.

So glad I bagged home this set plus a brightening hand cream!

New Orbis Boutique Opening + Review of Orbis =U White Series

Sponsored

If you have been following my Instagram page, you'd have been informed of the opening specials of Orbis at their newest boutique, located at Takashimaya Shopping Centre. 

For those who are new to Orbis, this is a Japanese beauty brand that is eco-friendly, simple, effective and advocates a holistic approach to beauty & wellness. It is also the first to create 100% oil-free skincare products, based on their fundamental belief that by cutting out oil, skin can release its vital power. Sounds like god-send to oily/combination skin? I would think so.

I was at the opening of the new store at Takashimaya last month, and was so happy to bag home some skincare and makeup loots.

BB Cushion Evolution - Review of New LANEIGE BB Cushion Pore Control and Whitening

Sponsored 

Sorry lovelies for the lack of updates on the blog lately! I have just officially moved into my first matrimonial home! And the past two months were a mad craze of overseeing my interior designers, contractors, getting furniture & furnishings, shifting from two homes to one, cleaning/packing/unpacking and now, trying to organise a housewarming party as well as plan an overseas trip. (Gosh!)

Now that I am finally more available to blog, I have decided to review the newly packaged and improved formula of the  Laneige BB Cushion (both Pore Control and Whitening) that I have used for more than a month.

Don't you find this pretty & very elegant holographic design cover exceptionally alluring? This new packaging is also much more slicker and easier to carry around for touch-ups. 

Note: Your old BB cushion refills won't fit this new one.
