Review: Advanced Clinicals Hyaluronic Serum

Review: Secret Key Aloe Soothing Moist Toner
The Landmark sometimes sells beauty products for one time only, one of which was Secret Key’s. Among the products available were the Nature Toners.

Review: Dior Capture Youth Glow Booster
When the Dior Capture Youth skincare range released, I had my eyes set on the Glow Booster. My skin loves vitamin C, and it has AHA. It sold out fast when it became available in my usual Dior store, so as soon as I heard the following delivery included stocks of it, I quickly had…

Review: Chanel N°5 The Body Oil
I have always wanted a Chanel N°5 EDP, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy because I usually get gifted with scents. When I made up my mind, I got the Coco Mademoiselle instead. After all, it’s my all-time favorite (and lucky) scent. 🙂 Late in 2018, I started to get into body oils. I…

Review: Rouge Dior 666 Matte Kisss
Nope, that wasn’t a typo. 😉 I only intended to get the Rouge Dior Liquid Copper Lava from Dior‘s 2018 fall makeup collection. (An attempt in my low buy, haha!) But the Rouge Dior 666 Matte Kisss was released at the same time as the liquid lipstick. My wallet wasn’t ready! 😂 I didn’t want to skip…

Leejiham 5 Alpha Control Cream Review for Oily Skin
Since I emptied the BeautiControl Facial Spa Defend and Restore Moisture Creme SPF20, I switched back to the Leejiham 5 Alpha Control Cream.
