How We Achieve 100% Honest Reviews
When we say we keep our reviews honest, we mean it! We are glad to see readers sharing though our Readers’ Survey that they trust reviews on this website and find our recommendations useful and honest.
We don’t believe in short-term gains in exchange for breaching your trust. Press samples that aren’t aligned with our readers’ interests have been consistently declined. Also, we would only accept press samples if companies allow myBeautyCravings to retain our honest voice.
It’s not nice to say something bad about people who gift you something, right? The same goes with brands – we would rather not post anything if we have nothing good to say about the free products or services.
Another method to ensure that we remain unbiased is to pay for products first before seeking sponsorship. If the product turns out to be good, we may invite such companies for advertorial opportunity.
See What Our Readers Say
Hello!
Hi there, I’m Nicole A. Lee from Singapore and I’m the founder and editor of myBeautyCravings.
Every product, service or travel destination has been personally tested or visited by me. I pay for most of the products and experiences shared on this website.
I’m in my 40s, but like to believe that I look younger than my age. Ahem! :) I credit that to good genes and proper skincare regimen.
Are you looking for 100% honest reviews on beauty and travel?
Do you want to know which products truly work? Do you love free and easy travel? Would you love to save money on beauty and travel?
If your answers are “Yes!”, stay on as I’ve made it my mission to help readers obtain the best value for their money by sharing:
1) Honest Beauty Reviews
2) Original Travel Stories, Destination Tips & Guides
My main beauty concerns are aging, enlarged pores, blemishes and dry patchy skin. I breakout easily when I use the wrong product despite my ‘advanced’ age. LOL! Therefore, you’ll gain from my reviews as I will point out products that are safe for pimple-prone skin (and those that aren’t).
My beauty targets are to find products that:
- Slow down aging
- Improve skin firmness and hydration
- Are safe for pimple-prone skin
- Make us feel beautiful and confident
I love travelling! And I only do it on free and easy, sometimes adding a little adventurous spirit to my travel itineraries. I’m not too keen on over-touristy attractions. By that, I’m referring to places that are touristy for the sake of being touristy and offer very little authentic experience.
Therefore, you can find me sharing a mix of worthy tourist attractions and places off the beaten track – both of which would be equally favored by locals. Here are the places I’ve been to.
I love beaches, hiking, mountain-climbing, waterfalls, good food and seeking out gems that’re off the tourists’ map. If you are into fun and authentic travel experiences, this site could become your next best friend (and we may become great virtual friends :)).
I’m into personal finance too! That’s why I don’t have the habit of spending excessively, be it on travel or beauty. For example, I would rather walk 20 minutes than take a bus (that’s for health reason too). I would rather take a bus than hire a cab. I wouldn’t mind staying in a budget hotel on days when I would be out the entire day.
Sometimes, you may see me splurging on cool apartments, expensive activities or premium beauty products. That’s because I’d found the experience value for money.
I do things based on a value principle. How much value do I get out of the money I’ve paid? That’s a little different from being on a budget.
Based on the same principle, I like beauty products that work more than how big their branding (and marketing budget) is. Products I like can be a mix of premium and drug-store brands as long as they work and offer excellent value.
Stay connected with me if you find similarities in our likes and dislikes on beauty and travel.

I hold a BBA (Honours) degree from the National University of Singapore, and have 19 years of experience in business, marketing, communications and outreach. I have led production of mainstream TV infotainments, media advertisements and helped companies launch websites and portals to reach out to their target audience.
My interests other than beauty and travel include personal finance, blogging, business news, keeping fit and tea!
I believe my addiction to tea helped me look younger than my actual age. If you take away my tea, I will hate you forever. :P
