Kiehl's Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate

I think this is quite an underhyped product in the entire Kiehl's line. I absolutely enjoyed this eye cream and I think it worked very well in diminishing undereye fine lines as well as generating a moisturising effect post-application. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to keep those unwanted eye wrinkles at bay!




L'Oreal Smooth-Intense 1 Minute Caring Mask

L'Oreal hair masks generally do not disappoint. They typically work rather well and I have no issues when I use them. This product worked fine in smoothing and moisturising my mane.

Kiehl's Clearly Corrective White Purifying Foaming Cleanser

I previously had a review on Kiehl's Brightening Cleansing Cream on this blog (link here) but I believe that product has been replaced by an improved version - Kiehl's Clearly Corrective White Purifying Foaming Cleanser. I have been absolutely enjoying the new version of this cleanser and have gone through numerous tubes. I use it on its own or with my Clarisonic. However, do note that a little goes a long way because the product lathers extremely well. Take caution that getting the cream into your eyes may lead to a stinging sensation.

EOS Lip Balms

EOS carries my FAVOURITE lip balms ever - and trust me when I say I have tried and tested A LOT of lip balms in the market. Here are some of the flavours that I enjoy.

Eco Friendly Strawberry Lip Balm from Evolution of Smooth

EOS Summer Fruit

Fruity Lip Balm from Evolution of Smooth

EOS Sweet Mint

Sweet Mint Lip Balm from Evolution of Smooth

UPDATE: Sophie Monk Whitening Essence





I did not notice any significant whitening effects after going through more than half of this bottle so I chucked it out. As I was in the midst of lessening my skincare products, this was one of my choices for elimination. On a related note, I do not find Sophie Monk to be a hyped-up brand in Singapore.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Macara



I would say that the Scandal Eyes mascara worked better in lengthening than voluminising my lashes. It does not clump and the formulation is not too wet, which is great in my opinion and usually rather uncommon for "western" mascaras. However, given that there are many other better mascaras in the market, I doubt I would re-purchase this.

Rimmel Glam Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara



This mascara comes with a special wand that can alter in size depending on which cap you twist. The wand turns smaller when you unscrew the "length" cap and the wand becomes bigger when you unscrew the "volume" cap - The "length" wand is essentially a part of the "volume" wand. The product in the tube is the same, the wand is the only differentiating factor between the "length" and "volume" sections. This mascara tends to clump and smudge really easily, plus it is slightly too wet for my liking. However, it did lengthen and voluminise my lashes fine. Nonetheless, I doubt I would re-purchase.
