You shave, yes?

Do you shave? Be it armpits or legs or ............???? :p

If you do, read on. If not, I'd say it's a strange fact worth reading!

You might already know this and I'm sure I was probably a bit slow to get on the wagon but do you know hair conditioner can also be used as shaving cream?

Not only it saves you money but it helps to condition/prep the skin and hair before you shave, just like most other shaving gels supposed to. As a result, it gives you smoother skin and in time the unwanted hair will become finer too. As of shaving gels, they're not just quite expensive to buy but sometimes they can be quite drying to the skin too. I always had to lather on loads of lotion afterwards.

I know this sounds a bit strange but I actually read about this from somewhere - can't remember where exactly but let me reassure you it was from a reliable source! I won't be sharing this with you if I haven't tried it myself. After using the conditioner I find my skin really well moisturised and actually smoother compared to using anything else! It saves me time too as I no longer need to pile on lotion after shaving. Glad I read about it.

Hope you find this helpful and have fun ladies! xoxo

Many Congratulations on your wedding, Cao Tian & Alvin!!!

May you both be blessed with a lifetime together filled with lots of love, happiness and good health.

Put together a flower bouquet, did her makeup and styled her hair for their big day.

I enjoyed myself tremendously, just hope I did them proud!

Some friends have been telling me that I should become a freelance make-up artist and hair-stylist but not sure if I have that kind of confidence just yet. Will see what the future holds for me. :*)

Be well everyone. xoxo

My little day saver!

When you're looking totally worn-out with no sparkles in your eyes and you're going on a day or night out, what you need is this little baby I discovered a while ago! Whether you're like me, a mom with many sleepless nights or lately been up all night for whatever reasons be it studying or a late night out, you'll appreciate that these things are out there to do you some miracles! Haha.

When I lack my eight hours' sleeps I often have this slightly red or sometimes yellowish tired-looking eyes, I look like a zombie (believe me!) and even piling on loads of makeup doesn't help!!! So this really saves my day!! You can call it my little miracle drops!!! Haha.

All I need is a single drop in each eye to have white sparkling lively eyes. What it does is to remove the day's build up of redness in our eyes so we look more fresh and clear. Not like we've been dragging around all day.

However there are precautions when it comes to the use of this product. You must always consult your pharmacist or doctor before use if you are pregnant, if you have an eye disease (eg glaucoma), or have had eye surgery, if you are taking any medicines or receiving medical treatment for high blood pressure, depression, heart disease, diabetes or thyroid disorder.

And one other thing is not to use more than four times a day! Well, everything has its limitations even foods have! But if you're using it wisely I'd say we're ok. It isn't too bad for me because I only use it when I need to - maybe only once a week or twice at most! Sometimes none at all. It depends very much on how I feel I look - more like a touch-and-go kind of thing! Mostly weekends when we're going out or when I'm looking like I need a slap in the face to wake me up or someone to drag me out of bed! ;*)

So there you have it, my little secret! What's your day saver? Let's share!!

Take care and cheerios! xoxo

Favourite eye makeup remover - for now!

I've used Lancome Bi-Facil eye makeup remover for as long as I can remember and finally decided to give drugstore ones a go. Not that it's not good, it's great! I've loved it and enjoyed using it all these years but one day I just thought why not give drugstore ones a chance - they can't be that bad. The Lancome one is also costing me a bomb at £18.50 for a 125ml considering it only lasts for a month or so.

I started with Loreal's. It wasn't too bad but not quite up to my expectations. Maybe because Lancome did a great job at removing waterproof mascara whereas Loreal's I was literally rubbing my eyes yet I still get panda eyes in the morning.

Anyway believe me when I say this, No. 7's Cleanse and Care is the best I've used so far. Not only it's well priced at £7 for a 100ml but I got mine when they were having the 3 for 2 deal so it was just under £5, even cheaper than the Loreal's. Best part is it doesn't evaporate - unlike the Lancome's or Loreal's, so that's good news! It's cheap and lasts longer too! That's another great find for me! Yippie.

Hope you find this helpful and enjoy your weekend ladies.

Huggies. xoxo
