Singaporean Beauty Loot : My New MAC Loves



It’s one thing to wear your face bare, and your flatmates couldn’t care much on how you look ( except if something drastic shows up ), but it’s another thing as you go out of the house, do your stuff, as the world is watching you!

Well, as soon as I landed in Singapore, yes, within a few hours , I went to the place I called home – Tang’s, in Orchard Road. I love, love the MAC Cosmetics display there the most. I remember meeting Renee there for the first time, and my goal in my self imposed vacation right now, is to check out all the beauty stops here!

My new MAC loves? Continue reading

Beautynomics Beauty Profile : Schu’s Ruby Gan



Last week, I received an email from a good friend from Manila, that she’s coming over Singapore. I wasn’t sure if I would be a fit tour guide for her since I’ve only been here for roughly two weeks, and she flies to Singapore four times every year. Ruby Gan, franchisee of Singaporean shoe brand Schu, did not only show me where the best shopping places are here, but she also brought me along with her at the buying office of Schu here. I would have to say this – oh. my. god.

As I entered the Schu office, I was stunned, and I felt I was dreaming. all the four walls of the room were filled with racks of an endless array of shoes of all styles and colors, and I said to myself, ahh, Ruby has the best job of them all! I was able to observe her pick the styles she believed in and loved, and I must say, the new designs that will come out by second, and third quarter of the year, both in Schu shops and the Chocolate Schu Bar in Rockwell will definitely be promising. I’ve been a Schu buyer ever since, and I have seen the brand progress, in terms of style, and quality. By the end of the buying session, I was able to note 5 designs that I would be getting from Schu as soon as they release those styles. So, I’m telling you, be on the lookout for Schu‘s designs. I’m officially in love!

Okay, so, I’m not really turning this in a fashion blog, yknow, I’m still trying to explore my fashionable side, and I still love black amongst everything, but this post is about the beauty addict in Ruby Gan. Ruby , I confess, is someone that I’d want to be like because as a mom of two, she is still as stunning and beautiful as ever, and her body is just so fit! Also, she is an inspiration as she is a very good businesswoman, gym addict, and a sports lover who loves running. She’s someone who’s clearly passionate about life !

I have noticed the beauty addict streak in Ruby as she asked me to meet her in Watson’s in Takashimaya Mall. As I walked in and found her, I saw her cart full of beauty products! Her must-hoard for this trip? Klorane Shampoo, a dry shampoo that you just need to spray on to keep your hair clean! Aside from the fashion boutique stops we made, we also raided Sephora, and the beauty sections over at the Paragon Plaza and Takashimaya Mall. It’s amazing, to see her face light up in such radiance whenever we’d talk about blush ons, self tanners, eyeshadows, nail polish shades, amongst alot of things!

So, ready to see her travel kit, and shopping loot? Continue reading

Beautynomics Review : Sunsilk Straight and Sway

Can I just say that Sunsilk products just keep getting better, and better?

First, the brand has been a bathroom staple for years as I usually effortlessly toss Sunsilk shampoo bottles in my grocery pushcart as I have been using them since highschool. Next, they come up with pots of intensive moisturizing conditioners that I so love. Now, they have styling products! And not just styling products. Really good styling products!

Straight and Sway is definitely a staple as I style my rebonded hair. Aside from moisturizing it to look soft and manageable, rebonded hair also needs to be styled somewhat, sometimes with anti-frizz products, or creams that should define the bangs more, or other styling products as regrowth starts and you’d want to tame the un-rebonded areas.

NARS Spring 2009 Collection

The Spring Collections from various makeup brands are coming in! Now, it’s NARS that’s back with such a beautiful collection – and yes, it definitely stands out as the brand seeks to be different from the usual colors released for Spring,

“My inspiration for spring was a very sexy woman,” explains François Nars, Founder
and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics. “I wanted a bit of a ‘70s feeling,
somewhere between Guy Bourdin and Chris Von Wangenheim’s photographs—
aggressive, but very sensual and fragile at the same time.” In the ‘70s, Bourdin and
Von Wangenheim’s iconic images for Charles Jourdan and of the late supermodel
Gia Carangi respectively, were sharp-focus portraits of savage eroticism—Nars’
modern vision is more beautiful, less brutal.
A striking matte brick-red eyeshadow, made infinitely more wearable in combination
with a pearly white shadow or simple black liner, is tempered by a sweet, baby pink
glossy lip; while eyes painted in pastel hues of dusty rose, sage and lilac are a fitting
match for a statement-making berry lip. And everything should be paired with the
only cheek for spring: sparkling and sculpted.

The items included for the NARS Spring 2009 Collection are as follows :

Sephora in Singapore: A Beautynomics Report

Okay, girls, as soon as I set foot in the very beautiful country of Singapore where my self-imposed vacation for this year is situated ( I finally reveal, haha! ) , I immediately contacted my beauty blogger friend, also Singapore-based Renee for us to meet there for a stroll. Last year, our meeting place when we first met was at the MAC Cosmetics counter in Tang’s Plaza, and now, our second time to meet, we agreed to just enjoy ourselves in the place where we feel most at ease and absolutely blissful – at the beauty counters, of course!

As we went in the Takashimaya Mall, Renee slowly led me to the Sephora store, and as the sight of the Sephora signage became more and more visible to my eye, I could just feel my breaths getting shorter and my eyes widening. Se-pho-ra!!!!

Beautynomics Review : L’Oreal Derma Genesis Eye Contour Cream

Looking for the perfect eye cream must be one of the hardest things to do, but definitely one of the things that one should do, because we owe ourselves some supple looking, and beautiful looking skin to be able to age gracefully! The eye area is the thinnest skinned part of the face, and the first to show signs of aging. It’s a pressing issue as one progresses in his or her 20′s to keep the eye are as youthful as ever.

Another eye cream product that I decided to roadtest is the L’Oreal Derma Genesis Eye Contour Cream. The packaging is too cute, it looks like a time capsule! Anyway, it has my favorite ingredient, hyaluronic acid, that aids in anti aging as it retains moisture on the skin. Very good!

What’s New : Bobbi Brown Brights Collection

Bobbi Brown eyeshadows are really, really good. The textures are very silky, even the shimmers are silky and fine, and the color payoff is unbelievably beautiful! I swear, Bobbi Brown earned my love in the eyeshadow department the moment I tried the Shimmering Nudes Collection. And I want more!

Bobbi Brown starts the new year with a bang, with the absolutely stunning Bobbi Brown Brights Collection!

I won’t try to save the best for last because makeup addicts like you and me can be really impatient. ( I don’t know, but I really am! )

Beautynomics Review : MAC Chill Collection

Ice the competition. the temperature drops, predictability plummets,
but a new beauty barometer sets the tone with light snowflake lips,
twinkle shimmer shades with opalescent pearl.

The MAC Chill Collection, as I checked out the pictures, must be one of my favorite collections because I love looks that remind me of snow, crystals, and the holidays, because they seem so light, relaxed, and magical!

I have a few items from the MAC Chill Collection that I have my thoughts on about :
