Rave Review: Banna Fruit Scrubs in Tamarind, Coconut and Pineapple!

Fruity body scrubs! As someone who doesn't use many body care products I've been trying out a lot more gels and scrubs the last two years and I particularly love scrubs and washes with fruit/plant ingredients. For those who visit beach towns in Thailand like Phuket/Krabi/Koh Samui it's a MUST to visit all the small souvenir shops as some sell these local made body products that smell so much of authentic fruit/plant ingredients!

When on my holiday in Krabi, Thailand last year I picked out three fruit based scrubs at a shop having a deal on buying three tubs! It was a shop filled with at least 15 varieties of scrubs/moisturizers, other beauty products and lots of accessories and jewelry. Even buying one would be a steal as they are sooo affordable in Thailand compared to the brands that sell similar types of products in Singapore!

Food Post: Things baked in November/December 2014! (cake, cookies, cupcakes)

Year end home baked goodies! Since last year it's become a habit for me to bake more towards the end of the year. The blogsphere towards year end is just flooded by tutorials and recipes and posts of beautifully decorated cakes, sweet home made desserts, cakes, pies and everything yummy! Last year my boyfriend and I made cookies and cranberry buns around the end of the year which I featured in a similar year end baking post! (See the full post here!)

This year I tried to step it up a bit and although I didn't bake many items I think the quality of everything was really good! For those who missed my recent home made cinnamon sugar rolls post (see it here!) Also if you'd like to see my banana muffins and cream custard pie (see it here!)

Bold eyes, food and a beautiful cake! Hey ladies, I really hope 2015 got off to a great start for all of you!

Empties for November/Decemeber 2014!

MEGA Empties Time!! Yes, YES! It's time again to throw out all the old! For those who have seen any of my empties posts, I keep empties for 2-3 months and then do a collective empties post. I tend to go through more skincare/body care than make up like everyone else although I go through pressed powder like water!

I love seeing other ladies' empties post as it's really neat to see what things they finished and which items they'd repurchase. Hope you find something in my post that interest you to try it!

Review: Shiseido InteGrate Milky Flower Cheek Limited in 1 Flower Pink!

Milky! Shiny! Flowers! Don't as me what that's exactly suppose to mean! Those exact same words are on the front of the packaging! I think the 'milky' refers to the gradient colors and how the shades are a bit pastel/soft in tone, the 'shiny' maybe due to the shimmer and the 'flowers'...well that one remains a giant mystery to me! 

This beautiful blush was purchased through the Japanese cosmetics site Ichibankao.com, the sell everything from Japanese drugstore brands like Kate, Visee, Lavshuca to departmental store high end brands like Jill Stuart, THREE, Addiction and Suqqu!

This brand InteGrate is a Shiseido owned brand and it can be found on the website under 'Shiseido'. All prices on the website include shipping so what you pay for both the product/shipping is the price listed for each product!

Bright Green Elf Inspired eyes!

Green Elf Inspired eyes! This look was created back in December when I was inspired  by the colors of the festive season! Plenty of ladies were doing gold eye looks and glittery looks with red lips but not as many were using another very common festive color, GREEN! 

When I think of green, I think of christmas trees and cookie icing and also little elves and their outfits! Here I'm using greens for this elf inspired eye look! It's wearable enough for day time but great for night time too!

Review: Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation in "Cheers to Me" Champagne!

HELLO Flawless! Those of us who wear foundation regular know how important it is to have different types of foundations. Maybe we have one that we'd reach for everyday, one for special occasions and lots in between that we are trying out and hoping will have a loving spot in our collection! I've always been curious about trying either the liquid or powder foundations from Benefit but as it's a bit marked up here I've held off purchasing either.

This gorgeous mini sized Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation from Benefit was gifted to me in a swap from the loveliest Pam from Jade in the Palace blog! I was sooo excited to not only try it but thought it was sooo adorable that they managed to make this sample the same packaging as the full sized product!

Celebratory gold and purple eye look! (Sleek vintage romance)

Celebrate with gold and purple! I know, I know...for those who view all or most of my eye looks I'm a huge fan of gold/purple looks so this type of look is a bit repeated! I just can't get enough of this combination which just is so perfect given the shades in Sleek's Vintage Romance palette. When I think festive period and glamorous looks a rich golden and purple look comes to mind!

For those who are more interested in seeing my review and looks of Sleek's Vintage Romance palette (see here!) This palette is best for those who love purples, golds and shimmery neutrals!

Rave Review: Maybelline The Falsies Big Eyes Volum Express Mascara!

Big Lashes with Big Eyes! As of a few months ago Maybelline has brought in some products from their 'Big Eyes' which include 3 or 4 quads from Maybelline Japan, a mascara and some liquid eyeliners meant for brightening the waterline/lower lash line. I just could not resist trying the mascara after seeing the wand in store and seeing that this was a double ended mascara!

I've been a big fan of most of maybelline's mascaras. Pretty much 99% of the time mascaras here only sell in the waterproof formula, I don't know anyone here who buys non-waterproof. It's so humid and people tend to have oily skin, plus waterproof formula holds up a curl all day!
