After watching Michelle Phan’s video on Basic Smokey Eye Tutorial, I tried doing the same on my eyes.

Though it’s not prefect, but I still like it.

More trial & error will make perfect. =D

How to apply eye shadow?

I saw these few videos at QQ’s blog and is kind of interested to pick up a skill or 2. Well, I suck at my eye shadow application. -_-”

& yes, indeed I do love smoky eyes.

Body lotion: Do we need it?

Skin reflects the state of beauty of women.

Most people think that only facial skin needs to be moisturized. But this is so not true! Besides our face, all the other parts of the body need equal moisturizing. After a certain age say 30, the proper moisturizing would benefit us. It keeps the skin healthy and it slows the aging process of the skin. Skin should stay hydrated all the times to sustain the pollution and other factors, which lead to wrinkles. Body lotions make the skin more elastic and supple.

Our skin is the largest organ of our body, which gets damaged by sun, poor diet, stress, pollution and hormonal changes easily. To counteract these damaging elements, there is great need of skin care products. So now comes the importance of body lotion. It should be used daily to replenish its moisture otherwise the skin will look dull, dry and irritated.

Different parts of body needs different kinds of lotions. Lotions used on facial skin are generally called moisturizers while lotions used for rest of the body are called as body lotions.

I am currently using Provocative Woman Body Lotion & have been using for years.

I love the smell. It has a clean scent and you can smell the nice odour on your body all day long. It is not over powering, just a clean nice odour. I seriously love it!

Grab your body lotion now! Else you will regret when your skin starts aging and has wrinkles.

Jurlique Rose Hand Cream

Rose Hand Cream
What it is:
A rich hand moisturizer.

What it is formulated to do:
Jurlique’s Rose Hand Cream deeply hydrates the hands, restoring a soft, supple feeling.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petro-Chemicals

What else you need to know:
This protective, emollient formula uses the living energy of rose, calendula, and viola to deeply nourish the skin, creating sublimely smooth results.

Review: This hand cream is absolutely heavenly. Everything from the scent to the texture is complete perfection. It goes on smooth (not greasy) and hydrates until washed off. The scent is light enough to not be obtrusive, but strong enough to turn heads. I definitely recommend this! BUT, the price is kind of steep. I bought a 40ml at $50 bucks?

H2O+

I had heard raves about H2O+ products since 2005. Unfortunately, they have not many stores around in Singapore and whatever I wanna buy skincare, it seems that H2O+ always slip out of my mind.

That day, while I was making my way to the Suntec, I walked past H2O+ counter at Citylink Mall. So I decided to stop by and look for the oil free moisturiser which I wanna get long time ago.

My loots:

Review: 4/5. I had been using it since last year. Bought it from Korea and it merely cost me less than S$40.  I use it as the last step in my nightly routine and the next morning my skin would feel soft and supple. The feeling is like the face is full of moisture. Not only that, it smells good and puts you in a nice sleep with its lovely scent.By the way, I used daily for 1 week before and I seriously feel the difference. Worth it BUT how much does it cost in Singapore?
