New Blog!

Hello! School's starting again soon in Singapore so I decided to motivate myself by starting a blog about studying and tips! I may not be the smartest person but I'll try my best to help! :)

OPI, China Glaze and elf?!?

Recently, my friend and I were exploring Orchard Road and she remembered a flea called SCAPE! She showed me the way there and it was crowded!! Anyway, onto the point of this post, I SAW OPI, CHINA GLAZE AND ELF BEING SOLD THERE. CHEAP.

There is a DYON booth above ground that sells only OPI polishes and some nail dotting tools. The other DYON booth is located downstairs. You need to go down the stairs form Long John's and its on the right. They are currently giving away *some* free miniature bottles of the Seche Vite top coat when you buy something.

OPI:

The price for an OPI polish from a booth called DYON is $10 for a full bottle (Normally $20 in Sephora and BHG) the only catch is, the bottles are a bit damaged. The glass can have a small chip and the lid can have a piece of plastic missing. However, the polish itself is great!

They also sell the mini limited edition sets at $16. They are $20 in BHG for a set of mini's but a penny saved is a penny earned, right?

China Glaze:

One bottle of a full size China Glaze product is $8. They have a promotion which sells them at 3 for $20 (totally worth it.) They bottles are also a bit damaged but the polishes are still great! 

Nail dotting tools:

A set of 5 nail dotting tools are $5. They come with a range of different sizes and its worth the price!

E.L.F:

I haven't seen elf being sold in a store in Singapore before so I was really excited when I saw them selling it there! They have powders, blushes, lip glosses and some other stuff for 3 for $10! So cheap! Unfortunately, I couldn't buy anything because it was too crowded by other girls buying the makeup...

All of this can be found in the same booth! Leave a comment telling me if you go check it out!

Maybelline Baby Lips - Review

On hearing a lot of people raving about this lip balm, I decided to give it a try. I had really high hopes for this lip balm. I opened the packaging and I could immediately smell the product. The one I chose smells like strawberries. 

It feels very glossy on the lips and provides some moisture and shine. The balm only lasts 1-2 hours. However, I dislike the plastic feel to it. When it's on my lips, I feel like I can taste plastic (weird, huh?) I have used it several times to see if I will grow to like it, but I don't.

Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Exfoliating dead skin is important to prevent breakouts. We breakout because the dead skin, oil and dirt is clogged in our pores, thus causing pimples. Regular exfoliators have small beads that 'exfoliate' dead skin and they mostly contain harsh chemicals that will remove the dead skin. They will work the first few times, but over time they can get too rough for the skin.

Cure is very gentle on the skin because it does not contain any small micro beads. At first, I was very skeptical to purchase this product because I thought it was the gel clumping up and forming the balls. I went to a Watson's that stock cure and asked them for a sample. It cannot be found at every Watson's so it's better to check where they stock it. 

To test out if it really worked, I applied a bit of the sample onto the heel of my foot (the part where it often gets hard and dry.) I then washed it off and sure enough, it was smooth! I got so excited I purchased the full sized product a few days later. It retails for SGD$42 but can also be found on yesstyle.com.

  Comes in a pump bottle.

Has a cap (so it doesn't waste
      product when you press on it).              

It is a clear gel

Dead skin (ew)  

Pros:

-It removes dead skin effectively.

-It does not contain any harsh chemicals that will irritate the skin.

Cons:

Best for:

Every skin type.

N/A

Would I repurchase?

Yes! It is an amazing product!
