Product Empties (August - November)

Hey y'all! *Effect of watching too much SoothingSista hehe* Happy Thanksgiving and T.G.I.F! This post will feature 13 products that I've used up since August (I am such a hoarder). Read on to find out whether or not any of these products are good enough for a repurchase!

October Favourites 2014

A big hello to November and a bigger hello to this lil' beauty blog of mine! It has been abandoned for much longer than expected since my last post, oops. I guess I just lost the motivation to take pictures, upload them to my laptop, edit them, and type out a super long chunk of text. But I'm back now! I guess? Hehe.

The start of October was when I decided to set up a beauty account on Instagram (@mybeautyroad), and it has been the highlight of my month! I cannot be more thankful for the amazing beauty community on Instagram (IG), especially for those whom I've communicated with (and even met!) because they're all extremely lovely and humble! It honestly brings me joy to know of so many wonderful ladies who share the same passion as I do. *virtual hugs*

I'm actually perfectly fine with no blog because I can type all of this on IG too. But it's a pity that the text alignment / format on IG is terrible :( I'd create different paragraphs in the captions or comments, but they'd be gone the moment I hit "send". I'm sure y'all know what I mean! My (slight) OCD cannot handle such torture hahaha.

So blogging it is! :) I'll stop blabbering and get started on my October Favourites 2014:

The Truth about Sunscreen & Sunblock + MY HOLY-GRAIL SUNSCREEN! (Biore UV Face Milk Review)

In sunny Singapore, each of us know of AT LEAST one friend who loves to suntan. And more often than not, these friends do not bring along a sunscreen or sunblock with them as they strongly believe the application will prevent them from getting their desired tan after an hour or more of suntanning at Sentosa. Even if they do apply something, it will be the Banana Boat tanning oil which usually only contains SPF 4+/- (I don't even know what kind of protection - if any at all - SPF 4 will provide; probably just to prevent a little sunburn).

Believe it or not, despite my fair skin hahahaha, I was once that "friend"! There was a certain sense of satisfaction whenever I left Sentosa with a sunburnt skin; it would feel like my hour(s) of suntanning had not gone to waste. Likewise, whenever the sun was not at its hottest, I would not get a sunburn and I would feel rather disappointed. This carried on for a few months (back when I was a Year 1-2 polytechnic student), until I got tired because my skin lightened up pretty quickly and my tan would only last for a few days; which I am thankful for, in retrospect.

Talk about the damage I ever willingly did to my skin.
