Bed Head Tigi After Party Smoothing Cream
Desperate for a bit of retail therapy, I bought the Bed Head after-party smoothing cream, hoping it was something different from a product I’ve been using. It was actually my frizzy hair that tramped my confidence level, in need for a styling therapy.
The after-party smoothing cream gives my …

Philips Norelco Satinelle HP6409 Epilator
Epilation is a painful process, no matter what the product adverts say about ‘pain-free’ epilators, I have never found an epilator that is painless.

Maybelline Volum Express Waterproof Mascara
This mascara is now my HG. I’m not really one to try mascara testers cause it’s very unhygienic and might infect my eyes but I got lucky when I happened to pass by the Maybelline counter at the mall. The MUA has just opened a batch of new testers. …
MAC Lip Kitty in Strayin
I don’t know when MAC jumpstarted making Hello Kitty-inspired cosmetics but I began noticing their promotional ads last year in some beauty boutiques. What kooky idea have they conceptualized out of Hello Kitty? Well I first thought, it’s just cute fanfare to improvise the same old packaging …
Marks & Spencer Magnolia Anti-Perspirant Deodorant
This anti-perspirant deodorant from Marks & Spencer’s Floral Collection costs about £1.75. I had never tried it before, but at the time it was the only spray-on deodorant I could find in the particular branch I was in.
The scent of the spray is lovely —“ sweet magnolia flowers …
