Wow that’s a lot of Bs in the title. Agnes B BB Cream, say it really fast!
Anyway, Agnes B has launched a makeup range which I got a chance to take a look at and so far, it all seems really cute. Nothing earth shattering, but cute, compact makeup… reminds me of The Body Shop makeup.
One thing that “stood out” the most from their collection was their BB Cream. As if I need to tell you that there is a major BB Cream craze here in Asia (Exhibit A, B, C, D), so I wanted to see how this fared with some of the other ones I’ve tried. (So far, I am still loving Bobbi Brown’s BB Cream the best.)
Honestly, there is not muh to say about this BB Cream – which means it’s good. When I find there’s not much to say, it means it does it’s job and that’s good enough for me. The color is natural – no weird pinks or white cast on my face), it blends nicely and the coverage is fair. I like it, it’s really not bad at all. I like how it’s a cute, compact little tube and my skin looks nice in it… seriously, that’s all I gotta say! I don’t know what else to say about it, it’s good. Good. Good!
Have you tried Agnes B’s BB Cream? What did you think? Got anything better to say than “it’s good”? 
I’ve joined the Dark Side!!!
I got an iPhone yesterday as an early Christmas present from my dad because my Blackberry has pretty much given up on life, and my iPod died just last week after 4 long years… I took it as a sign I needed a new all-in-one! 
And boy is an iPhone all in one – I can’t believe I’ve been without one for so long. I had a Blackberry before but ugh. It’s not me, it’s you Blackberry… “work phone” my butt!
Anyway, the point of this post is that I wanted to talk about apps. 
I’ve installed Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Cut the Rope (MAAAH! I love that monster!), NIV Bible, WhatsApp… are there any apps you recommend?
Yes I am aware the plastic cover is still on LOL. Please don’t start with me, I got enough teasing about it at dinner last night! (Shout out to Natsumi the birthday girl!!!) But I refuse to take it out!
Y’know, I knew everyone wanted to walk like an Egyptian, but I never knew they held the power to super soft, smooth skin! But apparently they do, so says the makers of Egyptian Magic Cream, an all-purpose skin cream that is making waves around Hollywood and the world.
Featuring ingredients of olive oil, beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly, bee propolis and “divine love” (nice!) this skin cream counts everyone from Supermodel Karolina Kurkova, Rachel Zoe, Madonna and Kate Hudson, whose hairdresser calls it her “big night beauty trick”… and we all know how stunning Kate Hudson’s hair is!
Said to heal cuts and scrapes, moisturize skin, soothe eczema and skin rashes, moisturize hair, AND much more, it reminds me very much of Vaseline, minus the goopy, oily petroleum-jelly feel. Sure, the skin cream is very oily too, but it doesn’t have that greasy feel that Vaseline had (which I always hated). And though the celebs and models swears it makes their skin smooth, everyone knows that as an ex-acne sufferer, I am paranoid so there is NO WAY I am putting oil on my skin… ever. EVER! OK fine, I would for a million dollars. Either way, I’ve been using this cream for my dry areas on the body, especially my feet (which are now ridiculously baby soft), elbows, knees and even dry cuticles, and it’s amazing.

Even though I always “complain” about Katy Perry being played on radio way too much (seriously, I hear “Last Friday Night” everywhere!), I think she is ridiculously beautiful and incredibly talented. I also love her style – though it’s not personally my taste, it’s always so fun and bright (and we all know how much I loved her rainbow streaks!). Recently, she spilled to Life & Style magazine about her makeup essentials, and obviously I had to share.
Three essential items I can’t leave home without are…
Baby wipes and Entertainer’s Secret throat spray (it’s always dressed up in a little tuxedo.)
If you looked in my purse, you’d find…
Ole Henriksen African red-tea lip scrub, a Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage compact, CoverGirl lip tint, Dior blue mascara, and Pearls probiotics.
My makeup essentials are…
Vichy Dermablend, Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer, CoverGirl lip stains that are lip pencils. Sephora Funky Fusion lip liner, Dior lavender palette, Dior blue mascara, Johnson & Johnson green tea lotion.
Love it! What do you think about Katy’s beauty choices? Any of you agree with her? I totally agree with her choice in Laura Mercier concealer – I love her stuff. (Speaking of which, I am due to stock up on my favorite from their line, their famous Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer!)
First of all, let me start with an apology because there are a million puns I can use with Britney Spears. Forgive me.
Anyway, on the the review. This is Britney’s 10th (!) fragrance, so you know her perfume business is doing amazing – and for good reason, too: anyone remember Curious? That still is one of my favorite (if not favorite) celebrity scent. I’ve been eyeing Cosmic Radiance for a while now (ashamed to admit only because of the pretty bottle!) and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.
I got the perfume from Perfume Store, the largest online perfume retailer in Singapore. Delievery was super fast and I even got a free sample of another fragrance, which I thought was a very nice touch.
Cosmic Radiance features notes of amber and vanilla, a touch of jasmine and light top notes of refreshing mandarin and pear, this scent is similar to other Britney scents in that it is sweet; yet different because it feels like a more “grown up” sweet. It’s grown up without being too young, perfect for those who are Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman. Unfortunately, the staying power is so-so; which Drives Me Crazy, I wish it were Stronger, so I will be using this staying power tip. Still, it is a great scent for all ages, the bottle is beautiful (I know some think it’s tacky but I think it’s quite cute – then again I love anything black and white!), and… well, it’s Britney Spears – I am sure her fans would love this. Fan or not though, I think this would make a really beautiful Christmas gift this year.
Have you tried Cosmic Radiance yet? What do you think?
So true! Think I’m gonna start posting some quotes now and again for inspiration. What do you think?
An exciting new product range from Lemongrass House, one of my favorite bath and body brands, is launching TODAY!
The range is a collaboration with Singapore local celebrity Rilla Melati from Suria Channel, a full range of a scent she created with Lemongrass House, aptly named Rilla Blend. A heavenly blend of champaca, vanilla and tangerine, this scent is simply gorgeous – I am especially OBSESSED with the shower gel! As you all know, I immediately love anything vanilla scented, so I loved this range. What’s even nicer is that while you can smell the vanilla, it has the citrus-y smell of tangerine, which makes it such a nice combination of contrasting scents.
What’s even better, of course, is that this range is all for charity. That’s right – 100% of profits going to Jamiyah Children’s Home (Darul Ma’wa) – a charity very close to Rilla’s heart. I urge you to try it out at the shops and help this great cause. (I for one will be stocking up on their shower gels!)
