Beauty Possessions: Bath Essentials, Skincare Products, Cosmetics


1. Essential Nuance Airy Shampoo
2. Essential Nuance Airy Conditioner
3. Summer Naturale Deep Moisturisng Body Shampoo (Lavender)
4. Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Mild
5. Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream
6. L'oreal Total Repair 5 Hair Masque


My Hello Kitty shower cap :)

I use the deep repairing hair mask once weekly.


1. Lancome Youth Activating Eye Concentrate
2. Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 (Exfoliator & Toner)
3. L'oreal Derma Genesis Pore Minimising Smoother
4. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion
5. Biore UV Bright Face Milk
6. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Pure-Mild Sunblock Lotion


When it comes to choosing the best sunscreen, here are a few tips.

- Pick a product that provides protection for both UVA and UVB by ensuring that the sunscreen contains the ingredient "helioplex". 

- "Waterproof" sunscreen should provide protection in the water for 80 minutes while "water resistant" sunscreen lasts for 40 minutes.

- SPF30+ harbours up to 97% protection whereas SPF50 has 98% protection.

Also, always apply sunblock at least 15-30 minutes before going out into the sun.

I religiously use the Biore one on my face and neck under my make-up and the Neutrogena one on my body.


This little baby is such a miracle in a mini tub! It claims to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, reduce dark circles, and makes the eye area look younger. After consistent application, I really noticed a significant difference!


1. Boss Lady Wild Flower Body Cream
2. Marks & Spencer Camellia Moisturising Hand and Nail Cream
3. Soap & Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream

The body cream entails the tagline "rope 'em in with softer skin" and it truly delivers what it promises. Got it as a birthday present from my BBF :) Pity this has now been discontinued.

I slightly prefer the more exotic smell of the body cream than as compared to the sweet floral smell of the hand cream and the minty smell of the foot cream.


1. Anna Sui Secret Wish Perfume
2. Soap & Glory Glad Pits Anti-Pespirant
3. Liese Smooth Hair Cocktail

I only use the anti-pespirant spray when I know I'm gonna sweat a lot outside.

The Liese hair product is amazing! I've heard from people how it doesn't work when I first made my purchase but it has been very effective for me. Then again, I'm a relatively easily-satisfied consumer :)


1. Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer 105 (Limited Edition)
2. Silkygirl Moisture Rich Lipstick Romantic 27 
3. Estee Lauder Lipstick Rouge Tiger Eye 86
4. Clinique Lipstick Extreme Pink 19
5. Clinique Superbalm Moistursing Gloss Apricot 1
6. Daiso Cosmetic Brush 
7. Too Faced Lip Primer
8. Urban Decay Eye Primer
9. Maybelline Brown Gel Eye Liner
10. Sheene Black Liquid Eye Liner
11. Clinique High Impact Mascara Black 1
12. Daiso Make-up Corrector
13. Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder Natural
14. Estee Lauder Deluxe All-Over Face Compact
15. ZA Concealer Perfection 2
16. Chanel Lift Lumiere Firming and Smoothing Fluid Make-Up Opaline 12
17. Daiso Brow & Lash Comb

I must say, Silky Girl's lippie is surprisingly one of the best I've tried. It's really long-lasting even without the assistance of lip primer. I mostly only use mine when clubbing because the striking red colour is too loud for normal wear.

The Daiso brush is also another unexpectedly good product. I was quite blown away by its seamless blending properties. And it suits me fine for I like the effect of blusher blended with foundation rather than blusher ON foundation. If you get what I mean...

Sheene is a THAI brand liquid eye liner that I bought on a whim with my Mom. Super cheap but super difficult to apply. And this is coming from someone who can work liquid eyeliners quite well.

The Daiso make-up corrector is another unbelievable product that I have to attribute kudos to. It clears up any stray make-up with one or a few strokes. 

Maybelline pressed powder is a mediocre product (the wallet-friendly price speaks for itself) that I am unable to find fault with. One of its most prominent plus point is that it is marketed specially for Asian women. Would not consider re-buying though, shall seek better alternatives.

ZA concealer is one of my trusty pals in the cosmetics pouch. My only chagrin is that it doesn't come with highlighting effect.

Chanel fluid foundation is a classic. Liquidified foundation works better for people like myself with dry combination skin but is not recommended for those with oily complexions.


Estee Lauder's Deluxe All-Over Face Compact comes in a sophiscated, classy packaging. The gold colour is extremely eye-catching.

3 Silky Powder Blushes
- Nude Rose 11
- Rosewood 13
- Pink Kiss 2
1 Soft Matte Bronzer
- Bronze Goddess 1


1. Duo Eyelash Adhesive (Clear-White)
2. Lash Clip
3. Falsies


1. Biore Cleansing Strips Pore Pack (Black)
2. Bejewelled Stone Nail File

My virgin attempt at using a pore strip evidently displays that dry skin has little if not no need for this product. Or it could be due to the fact that my daily skincare ritual has become such a staple regiment embedded in my life that I have successfully managed to combat blackheads :) Btw, the rumours online that complained about the pain that comes with removal of pore strips is a huge hyperbole.


1. Aloe Milky Lotion
2. Aloe Cleansing Sheets
3. Aloe Eye Cleansing Tissues

My 3 reliable Aloe Vera comrades that saved my skin after prolonged sun exposure especially during camps.


1. Detergent

Another wonderful purchase from Daiso! It cleans off every single trace of make-up with just a tiny drop.
