There’s a few particular brands of lipsticks I’m guilty of hoarding... well, @shuuemura is definitely one of them! 🙊 Posted about this limited edition Yazbukey x Shu Uemura collection months ago, and I’m still very much in love with these! Currently tabulating a few of my favorite reds, any recommendations to add in? x . #clozette #mattitude #shuuemurasg #shuuemura #sgbeauty #igbeauty #discoverunder100k #sgig

A sneak of Kako’s wedding ceremony at the beautiful Tsubaki Grand Shrine that was bustling with activities when we arrived ❤️ This is one of the oldest shrine in Japan with holy water that’s known to treat illness. Do you know that they even have a “branch” shrine in America?! . #clozette

It’s no surprise how amazing the coverage for @itcosmetics products are, so this Bye Bye Breakout Full-Coverage Treatment Concealer is definitely high on my wishlist when it was first launched. Super high coverage, a little definitely goes a long way when it comes to concealing those pesky zits and blemishes - please do not expect miracles for cysts and nodules, a doctor is what you should look for instead. Love that it doesn’t dry out my skin while it treats, definitely a must-buy if you have acne-prone skin! x . #clozette #sephorasg #sephora #sgbeauty #sgig #acnecare #itcosmeticssg #itcosmetics #igbeauty

A little way overdue but I finally Gave @Schwarzkopf’s Beology Deep Sea range a try 🙊🙊 Suitable for both damaged and normal hair, it leaves my dry bleached hair soft and smoth without being too rich for my oily scalp... which was quite a miracle considering the amount of split ends I was accumulating before snipping it off. Slightly pricier than your usual drugstore shampoo, but worth a try I reckon! x . #clozette #schwarzkopfsg #schwarzkopf #sgbeauty #igbeauty #haircare #discoverunder100k #sgig

Last shrine of the Day 2 before we made our way to Nagoya. Famous for it’s lion-shaped stage, Namba Yasaka Shrine is believe to swallow evil spirits with its huge mouth; thus bringing good luck, especially for students and businesses! We were heaps lucky to arrive half hour before closing, resulting in the lack of crowd~ x . #clozette #alenebtravels #akiralene #osaka #大阪 #nambayasakashrine #纸猫咪去日本 #神社

Unexpectedly quaint hostel that was super clean despite sharing the toilets and shower facilities, super cool mini onsen at the roof top with loads of food options around. My only gripe was that the rooms aren’t exactly soundproof so it can get pretty loud should the neighbors be inconsiderate assholes 🤷🏼‍♀️ Won’t mind coming back again! x . #clozette #doublewoot #doublewootootd #alenebootd #ootd #kiplingsg #kedssg

The last time I’ve tried @jurlique’s Herbal Recovery Serum was back in Adelaide, when I was just getting started on all things beauty. 6 years down the road, this signature range has been remastered to restore skin’s natural glow with powerful botanical extracts. This anti-aging serum is now packed with Red Clover Flower extract for major hydration, it even improve skin’s ability to retain moisture. Can’t wait to incorporate it into my routine real soon! x . #clozette #jurliquesg #jurlique #herbalrecovery #sgig #skincarejunkie #sgbeauty #igbeauty #cleanbeauty

Next stop: Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine. One of Japan’s oldest shrine that’s dedicated to the three gods of sea, and to the spirit of Empress Jingu. Remember to cross the famous Taiko-bashi bridge that’s said to cleanse you from your sins and impurities before approaching the gods. And of course, how can we forget the hidden Nankun-sha that sells traditional shofuku neko for good luck! x . #clozette

Reminicisng on my recent trip to Osaka and the major fun we had ❤️ Shrine-hopping is a favorite activity of ours and we’re glad to have dedicated a full day just for it. First stop at Hochigai Shrine for some much needed luck and purifying after a shitty month we both had! Call us superstitious but we felt a spring in our steps after visiting it; sure was a good start to our trip. x . #clozette #alenebtravels #akiralene

Very much needed now that hell week is coming and my puffy dark eye circles will be out again 😏 x . #clozette #alchemeskin #sgbeauty #igbeauty #bbloggers #beautychat #customizedskincare #sgig

Just one more working day to a lo g-awaited trip + reunion ❤️ Almost done packing, but first, let me slip in @irenskin’s hydrating serum to ensure my skin remains hydrated throughout the trip! x . #clozette #irenskin #happyskinpromise #jbeauty #sgbeauty #igbeauty #skincarejunkie #sgig

{#paperkittiesgiveaway} Been awhile since I’ve done a giveaway so I’m back this time round with @drgl.skincare - another brand that I’m a major fan of! The Moisturizer Collagen Boost is perfect for parched skin that needs extra TLC with their 3 forms of Hyaluronic Acid. The gel-cream texture is ideal for night usage if your skin steers towards the combi-oily side, and I even use it as a spot treatment when my skin was being super sensitive and dry at my laugh lines and it thankfully worked! . I was blessed to receive a set of 4, so I’ll be picking two lucky winners to own a 10ml tub each ❤️ All you got to do is: 1. Follow @paperkitties 2. Like this post 3. Tag 2 friends to share the joy! Giveaway will end on 20th Sept, 2359 x . #clozette #sephorasg #sephora #sgbeauty #igbeauty #drglskincare

If you’re a huge fan of @alliesofskin like I am... well, good news! They’re finally stocked at @sephorasg! I’ve almost tried the entire range (and paid for 90% of it) and the two products that have since became a staple in my skincare is none other than the All Day Pollution Repair Mask (for day) and Promise Keeper Blemish Facial (for night). Perfect for busy ladies who prefer a one step solution that actually works, this is for you x . #clozette #sephorasg #sephora #escentials #sgig #alliesofskin #skincarejunkie #sgbeauty #igbeauty
