For someone who have hated the idea of using moisturizers until the age of 25, it takes a lot to convince me that a particular moisturizer is actually worth a permanent spot in my vanity. @Cliniquesg Moisture Surge 72 Hour Auto Replenishing Hydrator started its journey as my go-to moisturizer whenever I travel, the name speaks for itself, keeping my skin deeply hydrated and nourished (despite its gel-cream texture) even during winter. Lately, I have started reaching out for this even when I’m at home! Perfect for my night routine, especially on lazy days, I wake up to healthy plump skin despite sleeping in my igloo 🙊 Just like that, Clinique Moisture Surge slowly crept its way into my vanity and now, my heart... so you know what to do~ . TL;DR: MUST BUY! x . #clozette #cliniquesg #clinique #sephorasg #sephora #elcbeautyinsider #skincarejunkie

Haven’t had the chance to review on @clarinsofficial products in awhile, but here’s one that recently impressed me! Clarins Extra-Firming 2-in-1 anti-aging eye balm has a thicker consistency than I’m used to, but I unexpected grew to like this comforting texture. It sinks in quickly and makes a nice base before concealer, without causing creases (esp with cream concealers). If fine lines and dark eye circles are your concern, this helps to reduce the appearance of fatigue and lines, giving an overall refreshed look after prolonged usage! x . #clozette #clarins #clarinssg #sgbeauty #igbeauty

Ushering my long weekend with all things pink and pretty! Discover @givenchybeauty L’Intemporel Blossom SPF15 Anti-Fatigue Compact Day Cream to fight against skin fatigue. This unique day cream can be use throughout the day, whenever your skin needs a perk-me-up, as it refreshes and gives a subtle rosy glow. . Here’s also featuring Le Rose Perfecto Color Lip Balm in the prettiest pink leather casing, alongside Live Irresistible Rosy Crush - a floral fruity perfume with an explosion of rose and pink pepper! x . #clozette #givenchybeautysg #givenchysg #sgig #sephorasg #sephora #sgbeauty #igbeauty #flatlay #givenchybeauty

April showers bring May flowers 💐 This month’s pick is none other than the latest EDT launch by @maisonfranciskurkdjian , L’eau À la rose. It’s said that a drop of perfumed water reflects a bouquet of four hundred newly bloomed roses. Radiant and airy, nothing too strong nor artificial, it’s just delicate enough to uplift my mood (top notes are litchi and pear, my fave!) before I’m out for the day. I’m not sure if age is catching up on me, I very much prefer subtle fragrance these days. Anything too overwhelming gives me a headache - which explains why I keep reaching out to this beautiful soft scent these days. If you’re someone who especially loves rose fragrance, you’ll definitely appreciate this. x . #clozette #maisonfranciskurkdjian #sgig #luxasis #escentials #escentialsg #sgbeauty #igbeauty

Growing up, I was never the child with perfect results and good behaviour. Being short-tempered and always fighting hard for my beliefs resulted in an unhappy mother-daughter relationship between our two strong personalities. Thank you for sacrificing your youth and social life, to be a SAHM who never gave up and nurtured me into who I am today. I'll always remember your comforting words during my tough times "no matter what happens, always know you have a safe haven called home with us", that silent support to constantly push me forward. You spoil me in your own ways and ensured my husband does the same too, with that I thank you for who you have made me today. Happy Mother's Day to you and all the brave, tireless and loving mommies out there! . P.S Spot her immediately wearing her @goldheartjewelry jade pendant upon my surprise. I knew she would love it!! . Don’t forget to quote ‘Alene50’ for additional $50 off selected sale-priced gem-set jewellery.

@Herbivorebotanicals is one of the most understated #cleanbeauty brands in Singapore, but they’ve sure won me over! It all started when I was introduced to their facial masks during #Sephorapressday, found the Blue Tansy mask highly effective and later learnt that their products contain highly concentrated active ingredients due to the lack of fillers. . I have since moved on to their facial oils and would recommend using them at night: • Phoenix Facial Oil for intense hydration and revitalization. This is ideal for dry skin or when you’re at countries with dry/cold climate. • Orchid Facial Oil for that dewy hydration and glow. This would be ideal for combi-dry skin, and for those who’re looking for anti-aging products. • Lapis Facial Oil (my fave) helps reduce redness, soothe and balance irritated skin. This is perfect for those acne-prone, combi to oily skin types. . If you have problematic skin like me and are new to the clean beauty scene, this brand would be great to kickstart with (you can buy their mini sets at @sephorasg when trying)! Do explore their website too, they are very informative and interesting to read up on x . #clozette #sephorasg #sephora #herbivorebotanicals #sgbeauty #igbeauty

Been giving @skii GenOptics Spot Pen a try and I’m loving it! Expect the most concentrated WH Smart Cocktail infused with the brand’s signature Piteria to reduce spots and pigmentation! Ideal to be used after serum with light application, the magnetic applicator helps to penetrate deeper into our skin. Do note that this is only targeted at melanin spots and will do nothing to help with your acne, but it does helps in lightening your acne scars so grab a pen and be ready to use it after your menses ladies! x . #clozette #skiisg

Wasn’t expecting such an exciting collaboration until X’mas but here we have it: Shu Uemura x Maison Kitsune 😍 A twist to the usual camo trend, I love how the @shuuemura shades are so wearable, while the packaging is a chic mix of mt fuji and @kitsune fox.

I had a ball of time discovering new brands and launches at the recent @guardiansg beauty event! Who knew our local drugstore can be equally exciting too 😍 One of the crowd favorites was definitely @ryohairsg (I love the ginseng smell) and I just can’t wait to try it. Will do an unboxing on igstory soon to unveil more so stay tuned! . P.S Mother’s day is coming up next Sunday and it’s not too late to purchase some amazing blooms from @kikiwoodsflorist 💐 My hubs actually prefers buying from them for all occasions cuz they never fail to impress me. xx . #clozette #guardiansg #kbeauty #ryohairsg #ryohair #kikiwoods #kikiwoodsflorist #haircare #sgbeauty

I can almost smell the weekend after a hectic week! Here’s introducing a recent foundation discovery that I’m loving: @makeupforeversg Ultra HD Invisible Cover foundation ❤️ A little goes a long way, giving light-medium coverage while looking as though I’m wearing next to nothing. The finish is semi-matte and with my recent skin condition after all that laser, I basically looked as though I’m flawlessly glowing from within! Not exactly sure about the concealer as I’ve gotten a shade too light, but coverage is definitely on point (aka high!). Anyone a raving fan of the foundation too? x . #clozette #makeupforeversg #makeupforever #sgig #sgbeauy #foundation #lifeisastage #mymakeupbff
