[REVIEW] iUNIK Calendula Complete Deep Cleansing Oil

I've been double cleansing for as long as I remember, but micellar water had always been my go-to because I simply couldn't imagine cleansing my oily face with more oil. I did learn that cleansing with oil is actually even better for oily skin, but when I did give it a shot with shu uemura's …

Important Lessons I’ve Learnt During My Beauty Journey

I started taking beauty really seriously sometime in late 2016, and started writing about beauty in 2017(?). Over the years, I've tried countless beauty products and learnt a lot of things the hard way, and one day I thought it would be a good idea to pencil down the lessons I've picked up and some …

[GUEST POST] Korean Skincare Myths & Beauty Secrets

Guest post by Laura - The Empties Diaries (Korean Skincare Reviews & Life in Korea) Hi, my name is Laura and I am happy to be sharing my thoughts on Vivian’s blog today! I came across her blog a few weeks (months?) ago now and really enjoy the posts, which is why I am happy …

[REVIEW] Sigi Skin Dew Potion

While sheet masks have been an integral part of my skincare routine for years, it was only recently that facial mists became a big part of my life. And I mean really big part: I spray them every couple of hours - sometimes because my skin feels dehydrated, sometimes because I just need a way …

[REVIEW] Olive Young Care Plus Scar Cover Spot Patch

Beauty junkies would surely have heard of CORSX's acne patches before. It's most probably the first product that got most people interested in the K-beauty brand - at least, that was how it was for me! Over the past few years, I've been looking to see if other acne patches can work as well, if …

[REVIEW] Canmake Glow Fleur Cheeks

As you can tell, I've been on a roll recently with my blush purchases - many of them are actually cheaper than lipsticks and just as pretty, which is why I find it really hard to stop myself from buy another one. Besides the Cream Cheek, the Glow Fleur Cheeks is another holy grail drugstore …

[REVIEW] Aprilskin Real Calendula Peel Off Pack

I feel like I don't really need to give an introduction to Aprilskin, because by now you would probably have seen one of those amazing ads on Facebook and Instagram where they show amazing results from using this brand's calendula products. Now, as much as I am a sucker for cool skincare products, I maintain …

[REVIEW] LILYBYRED Mood Liar Velvet Tint

I was extremely enamoured with LILYBYRED's Bloody Liar Coating Tint for the longest periiod of time (I even bought another shade of it!), so it was no surprise that I also went on to buy their Mood Liar Velvet Tint. Just curious though - why all the references to Liars for their lip product names? …

[REVIEW] Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask EX

Although I am highly addicted to sheet masks, I have a love-hate relationship with clay masks. Granted, they're supposed to be very good for my combination, acne-prone skin, but I find that many of them tend to be very drying or just not as effective as I had hoped. Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Color Clay Mask …

[GUEST POST] Quarantine makeup looks for Zoom meetings

(guest post by Jennifer from MissJenPlum) Let’s be real: aside from doomsday preppers, not a single person was ready for the Covid-19 quarantine. And I don’t think that’s a sign of anyone’s shortcomings! Who else is prepared for disease outbreaks? I’ll admit that as an introvert and home-body, I haven’t been particularly affected by the …

[REVIEW] A’PIEU Daily Sheet Mask – Green Tea

Back when I was super lazy about skincare, doing a sheet mask at least once a month was considered a chore. Now that I'm constantly battling acne and sensitive skin, all while trying to achieve glass skin (ha!), I've resorted to using sheet masks almost everyday. The old me would have found it incredulous, but …

[REVIEW] Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant

I rarely ever review cleansers, the main reason being that I don't really change them as often as you would think. Unlike other products in my skincare routine, which I love to shake up once in a while to see better results, I prefer sticking to just a few good cleansers that are tried and …
