Tarte - moisturizer 

Today, I'm gonna blog about my April favourites ranging from my new Prada tote bag to beauty products that I'm in love with. First of all, I bought my Prada tote bag from Reebonz. Its a pre-loved bag but its in pristine condition. I had about 250 credits in my account and it would expire in July if I'm not gonna utilise it. Reebonz is having a mother's day sale thus the bag was reduced by 20%. So I gotten the bag at a reasonable price. The only flaw the bag have is that it has a pen mark on the inner compartment of the pocket. Otherwise, I cant tell that the previous owner really use the bag, considering its a 2015 model. Hyung also said that the bag reminds him of Christian Louboutin because the inner compartment of the bag is red while the outer layer is black. Onto my beauty products, I've tried out the body shop seaweed toner. The scent of it smells like fresh water which I really like. It suits people with oily skin type. I swatched the wet&wild lipstick on my hand before buying it, but it doesnt look good on my lips sadly. Also, it get rubbed off easily when I take a drink. Among the essence products I bought, I love the clear brow gel and mascara. The mascara was highly recommended by Tivya so I decided to try it out. It cost less than $10 and it works well as compared to Too-faced mascara. Catrice nail polish are affordable and long lasting too. Tried and tested when I'm using my paw patrol sanitizer at work everyday. My colleague Juliana introduced me this Tarte H2O moisturizer. I love the texture of it. It's a gel based moisturizer which does not make my face oily. It is quite pricey, but I bought it during sephora sale. As compared to my clinique moisturizer, I prefer tarte over it. Thankfully it is public holiday today, I could run my errands and pack my clothes in the wardrobe. Ciao! 

I have been putting Gen Neo's music on replay while I'm doing my law assignment. His music is so good but he is so underrated. Just found out that he is a singaporean and he used to study in Berklee college of music. That explains why I liked his music genre.

November hauls

Hello everybody, today I'm gonna share my favourite items/hauls for the month of  November ranging from fashion to beauty products. Let's start off with fashion items first..

Zara Leather Tote Bag - SGD159

So I've been using this bag for about 3 months and I'm loving it as the bag space is super spacious. It is made up of 100% bovine leather thus the price is quite steep. Material wise the outer layer of the bag is soft but the inner layer is made up of "furry suede", I guess? That's the only thing that I disliked about the bag. As time passed, some of the "furry suede" would rubbed onto the items in my bag. I was watching one video of "HelloOctoberxo" channel and she was pairing this bag with her OOTW thus I decided to head to MBS Zara Outlet to cop it.

High Waist Chino Trousers - SGD33.50

Copped this pair of checkered trousers during black Friday sales when I was out in town with my girls. Totally loving the material of it and it is super comfy. Best part of all, left 1 in stock which is my size.

Fila Sweater - AUD19.95

The price I stated for the Factorie clothing was bought during their cyber monday sale. I'm in love with the Fila neon sweater. The original price is so bloody expensive so I'm happy I got it at an affordable price. Hehe. Both the shirts are sold out but I think you can buy them on Zalora website. The jumpsuit I bought was in black and yellow, but it was sold out on the Factorie website. So I linked the white and black colour instead. I bought 3 more other clothing but it doesnt fit despite is the correct sizing. I hope Factorie does something about it. The sizing is quite inconsistent for certain clothing. I wish Factorie has a free international shipping to SG with a minimum spending as I need to pay AUD20 for international shipping. /:  

Nike Air Force 1 Sage - HK799 = SGD140.29

Recently my aunt went to Hong Kong, thus I asked her to get this Nike Air Force 1 Sage in Off White colour. The soles are thick which adds few cm to your height. I got a size up as Eur 39 (my usual size) is a little too tight if I wear thicker socks. The Nike store in SG is retailing for SGD159. So I got it at a pretty good deal.

On to beauty products.. 

Aritaum Velvet Blush - SGD14.89 for 2 blushers

First time trying this Aritaum Velvet Blush. I bought it from Qoo10 as it was having a group buy sale. I got it in no.2 and no.4 colour. The colour of the blush is pigmented and it gives off a natural radiant look.

Clinique facial cleanser (oily skin) - SGD35

Love the texture of this facial cleanser. The after feeling of the wash is a little minty which makes your face feeling fresh and clean.

Petal Fresh Scalp Treatment Shampoo - USD9.89

Petal Fresh Purifying Shower Gel - USD7.69

My dad brought home this Petal Fresh brand shampoo and shower gel. I'm in love with the tea tree scent and benefits. I'm not sure where you can purchase it in SG. But it is available in Malaysia guardian when I googled it. So those who are going to JB, can try looking for this product.

Alright, that's all for my hauls in November. X'mas is coming soon and I have been hunting for gifts for my family and my clique secret santa exchange. Yet to receive my grade for my last paper and assignment. Hopefully all is well. Since today is my off day, I was busy clearing and organising my clothes in my wardrobe. Ive set aside some clothes to bring back to PR. Way too many clothes at GP house. I cant wait for Aunt Cecilia to put up the X'mas tree at home. :D

April favourites

The month of April passed so fast and now its the beginning of May. I'm gonna share with you my April favourites. Last month I had a major pimple breakouts on my face because I was stressed a f with work and university assignments. I didn had sufficient amount of beauty sleep. So I popped by Sephora and asked the sales associate what kinda of facial mask should I get?

Mario Badescu - Cucumber tonic mask
Mario Badescu - Silver Powder
Origins - Matte moisturizer with willowherb

I was looking for a suitable face moisturizer as I have an oily and dry skin combination. Oily on the T-zone and dry patches on the side of my face depending on how humid the weather is in SG. I didn know there is such thing as a matte moisturizer for our face?! After using it for a month, I'm in love with it. My face stayed matte for at least 6-8 hrs with no makeup on. The origins moisturizer cost SGD 63. Its kinda of pricey but it works wonder for me. Mario Badescu products are well known for eradicating acne skin issues. The silver powder helps to unclog pores and minimise blackheads. I used it last night and I felt like my face went for a good detox. The silver powder cost SGD 27 which I think is quite reasonable. For the cucumber tonic mask, it helps to moisturise and brighten my dull skin. It cost SGD 30. After using all these products for a month, my face condition is so much better that I dont really use foundation when I go out. Sephora is having sales online and in-store now. So do check it out! 

Ryo scalp deep cleansing shampoo and conditioner

I dyed my hair too many times that my hair texture is dry and frizzy. I chanced upon this korean brand shampoo on Qoo10 and I decided to try it. When you apply the shampoo on your hair, there is a cooling menthol effect. After using it for a month plus, my hair look so much healthier.

No sebum powder

I've stopped using my Too-faced (Born this way) foundation for my daily makeup. Instead, I used this herb green no sebum powder. It makes my face stay matte for at least 5 hrs. The texture is light and it makes my skin feels fresh.

Alright, that is all for my April favourites. Gonna have my lunch now and start editing my research proposal. Thankful for no work this weekend. I really need a break. ):

Review: Nip+Fab

Nip+Fab is a famous skincare and body care brand in the United Kingdom which is founded by Maria Hatzistefanis. And guess what? You can find Nip+Fab products in Singapore (Ngee Ann City Watsons). The price range is within $16-$50. These are the few items I tried.. 

Bust Fix - SGD $29.90

There are so many bust enhancing cream in the world. I tried Bio Essence bust firming boosting cream, but it does not work on me. Yes, I know one should feel contented on how we looked. But admit it girls, you do want to have a bigger chest to look good in dress/tank top right? So for flat-chested girls like myself, this is our saviour! It's a gel-based cream which you have to apply every morning and night. Dont forget to massage your boobies! It helps to firm your boobies which gives it a little volume. I have been using it for 2 months consecutively. You can really feel the effect! It's a must try! :D

Moisture fix - SGD $29.90

I was running low on my face moisturizer, thus I decided to try the moisture fix. The texture of the moisturizer is very lightweight. Also, it contain anti-aging ingredients and hyaluronic acid all in one bottle. Definitely a good moisturizer for people with oily skin, as it does not clog up your pores. 

Dry Hand Fix - SGD $15.90

This hand cream has a scent of bitter almond and brightening effect. Usually working ladies who stay in the office all day long on their computer, your hands will be dry due to the air-conditioner. So always bring a compact hand cream to moisturize your hands. Best part of all, the hand cream is not oily. I hate it when sweat on your palms and hand cream mixed together giving those yucky feeling.

If you wanna know more about Nip+Fab products, here's the link: http://www.nipandfab.com/ Also, right now is GREAT SINGAPORE SALE! Time for the ladies to meet up for more shopping to be done!! :D

Self-pampering

Lecture and lab session are cancelled today, however there is tutorial at 3pm which i skipped as I felt that there was no point for me to travel to school for a 2 hour tutorial. Thus, I had my beauty sleep ever since i longed for it. Woke up around 12 noon and I went to thread my brows at some random shop house near my vicinity. Also, bought a pack of hair dye because my hair colour is fading away. Just received my pay and I have the urge to shop online. There goes my money.. Nonetheless, I've gotta mug hard for my integrated paper tomorrow. ;D
