DHC Color Lip Cream

What I thought of DHC Lip Cream after 9 years (Incl. Swatch of DHC Color Lip Cream)

Hey guys, let’s talk about one popular beauty product from Japan – DHC Lip Cream. I first reviewed this product in 2014. Since then, some things have changed.

Xeomin Botox (Glabellar)

Botox Before & After: How many units needed in 30s and 40s?

My forehead wrinkles were banished for just over $200 back in 2014 when I first published this post about Botox treatment at Cutis Medical Laser Clinics.  During then, only 13 units of botox were administered to erase my forehead wrinkles, which included the glabella (the two vertical lines you see between your eyebrows) and horizontal crease lines.

Elizabeth Arden Lip Balm

Review of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick

5 years after my first purchase, I’m still loving Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick. I first published this post in 2017 when I bought a trio pack at Changi Airport DFS. The tinted lip balms in shades of pink, red and nude felt like a practical addition to my luggage, protecting my lips from dry cabin air

Skinceuticals Vitamin C Serum 30ml

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Vitamin C – Is it worth the hefty price tag?

Hey all, after seven years of beauty blogging, I’ve finally splurged on SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic – a Vitamin C Serum that I presumed is the market leader because of its patented formula (and hefty price tag).
