Where’s a good place to shop for Japanese beauty products in Singapore? Yesterday, I spent a good one hour shopping at Welcia-BHG Takashimaya and was delighted to see so many items on sales. Most of them were at 35% off with some at an even more attractive discount of 50%. From now till 31 Oct, Welcia-BHG Takashimaya is having a […]
Hey guys, I bought Suncut Super Waterproof UV Protect Gel two years ago from Japan, and found it to be such an essential sunscreen for travelling (or staycation these days) that I’ve gone on to repurchase it. It provided convenience as a useful all-in-one sunscreen that can be applied to face and body in many situations, even in water. When
I’ve been a fan of Suncut since I first blogged about this sunscreen brand in 2014. Previously, I’ve only tried the “gel” version. Today, let’s talk about the “essence”, or more specifically – Suncut UV Protect Essence. How are the two formula different? Is the essence as good as the gel? Why use one over another? Let’s find out. :)
Hot and sunny days are here! Let’s check out Biore UV Body Care Serum that comes with a high SPF50 and see how it fares against my all-time favourite body sunscreen – Nivea Extra White.

The one thing that I’ll always bring back from Japan is none other than a Japanese sunscreen. In my recent trip to Nippon, I bought a few tubes including Skin Aqua Sarafit UV Essence SPF50+. This is by far the cheapest sunscreen that I’ve gotten in Japan and I wondered how Skin Aqua would match up with the other great
Another half a year has gone by since I last shared my Product Empties. Make a guess how many products I’ve managed to empty in the first half of 2019. It’s 15 full-sized products. Whoa! That’s a lot by my standard. I’m so proud of myself! Heh! I’d deliberately forced myself to finish a beauty product before moving on to
I’m surprised that I haven’t written a review on Banana Boat Ultra Protect Sunscreen Lotion SPF 80 although I’ve emptied so many tubes, probably one tube every beach holiday. It is definitely my holy grail sunblock when it comes to activities involving intense sun and water exposure. I have never ever gotten a burn when I have my green
Going for a beach holiday soon? If you are looking for a long-lasting and water-resistant sunblock, I’ve got a good one to share with you. Innisfree Perfect UV Protection Cream has accompanied me to numerous island-hopping tours and was very effective in doing what it was supposed to do, that is, to protect my skin.

Good stuff is hard to come by and I really would have loved for Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C serum to be featured as a holy grail write-up.  I mean, how often do you  find a product that can fade age spots within a month?
