  • NOTD – It's Skin Matte Blue Nails and some bling

    I did a shopping haul post from my first visit to an It’s Skin store. I picked up a couple of nail paints from It’s Skin that day – one nude rosy pink and matte blue. I had never worn a Matte nail paint before as I like my nails looking glossy and healthy; and…

  • Empties! I'm so proud of using up my products!

    When I started watching YouTube beauty videos and reading beauty blogs way back in 2010, even though I loved getting introduced to new products and makeup tricks, Shopping Hauls always left me baffled.

    Neutrogena body emulsion – daily relief lotion is my first time trying any Neutrogena product. I had stepped out of my teens when I first heard about the brand Neutrogena.
