Been super uninspired with flatlays this year; I wouldn’t have had such a pretty one if not for the help of the ever creative @qiyunz 😘😘😘 Here’s a shoutout to @bottegaverde_sg for finally being back in Singapore again! You can find these affordable natural beauty products (from haircare to skin and body care) within @takashimayasg; do check out their Christmas sets and enjoy some irresistible discounts at their pop-up (B1 gallery, interior department) from now ‘til 21 Nov!

#Throwback to @MacCosmestics event where we uncover the iconic Studio Fix collection! From foundation sticks to cushion compact, there was definitely a shade for everyone. My pick for the day was actually the Studio Fix Complete Coverage Cushion Compact SPF50/PA++++ in shade NC20. I was drawn to its velvet matte shade with high coverage, which is pretty rare since most cushion goes for the glowy finish, and is super long-wearing. I have been sporadically reaching out to this on days when I'm breaking out and higher coverage is needed, it instantly hydrates and settles on my skin quickly.. making my morning routine quick and effortless! x #elcbeautyinsider . #clozette #maccosmetics #maccosmeticssg #sgbeauty #macstudiofix #theartofstudiofix #sephora #sephorasg

Let’s take a moment to admire one of my rare good hair days before it was cut short 😜 x . #clozette #doublewootootd #alenebootd #doublewoot #ootd

@ShuUemura’s annual holiday collection is always something I eagerly look forward, and this year has got to be the most electrifying on ever! A collaboration with Pokémon, this Pikashu limited edition collection is so very special. I’m totally in love with the packaging of the ultime8 subline beauty cleansing oil; the eye palette and rouge unlimited are definitely worth collecting too! Already launched islandwide, be sure to get yours (and the precious gifts with purchase) before they’re all gone ⚡️ . #clozette #shuuemurasg #shuuemura #jbeauty #sgbeauty #igbeauty #xmaswkitty #sephorasg #holidaycollection #pokemon ©2019Pokémon

Haven’t had a beach holiday in a long while, but that doesn’t mean I can’t smell like I’m in one 😜 @MaisonMargirlaFragrances Beach Walk opens up with a citrusy burst of bergamot and lemon before settling into a blend of pink pepper, ylang ylang, coconut milk, musk and heliotrope. It’s not your typical “pina colada” beach scent, as it reminds me more of a salty-floral skin scent after a walk on the beach. Subtle but comforting, with a lasting light sillage that won’t overwhelm my senses - especially for our tropical climate. x . #clozette #maisonmargiela #sephorasg #sephora #maisonmargielareplica #sgbeauty #igbeauty #alenebootd #ootd #balizatribe

Do you know that wet hair = weak hair? That is why @aquishair came up with a new Prime System: four important haircare steps to combat any potential damage! Step 1 - Spray and fortify with Water Defense Prewash, leave on for 2 minutes to protect your hair before stepping into the shower. Step 2 - While waiting for time to pass, proceed with your usual routine before using the Rebalancing Hair Wash at the END if your shower. No conditioner/treatment needed as this is good enough to reduce tangles and fight frizz. Step 3 - The Rapid-Dry Hair Turban is my favorite for lazy me 😜 I use this daily (since last year and bought for my 2 mommies) cuz it’s soo convenient and cuts my drying time by half. MUST BUY! Step 4 - Spray your hair with the Restorative Leave-In Conditioner once you’re done with towel drying to further detangle and calm humidity frizz (if needed) And voila, that’s all you need for healthy hair! I love that this entire range is so clean, natural and super fuss free. Definitely worth checking out at your next @sephorasg trip! x . #clozette #aquishair #aquishairturban #sephorasg #sephora #cleanbeauty #sgbeauty #sgig

Do you know that @naturallyseriousskin is actually available at @sephorasg (though the range is limited at the moment)? The products are 100% vegan, do not contain gluten and they are serious about their anti-oxidants! I have recently tried some of their products, with these two being my top pick ❤️ I love reaching out for Fruit-Tox Resurfacing Facial Remedy for my weekly scrub. The detoxifying Red Clay and volcanic pumice combo is amazingly intensive yet gentle on my skin. Not forgetting my daily Get Even Cold-Pressed Peel Pads to help soothe and hydrate tired skin for a gentle exfoliation after a long day. Both products seek to leave skin appearing radiant and even-toned. The peel pads are already available at Sephora (60 pcs at $63, pretty reasonable), hopefully they will bring in the facial scrub soon! x . #clozette #naturallyseriousskin #cleanbeauty #sgig #naturallyserious #sephorasg #sephora #sgbeauty

Introducing my favorite discovery at #sephorasgpressday: @drdennisgross ❤️ It all started with simply trying out their Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel for 3 consecutive days... and I was sold with how glowy and healthy my complexion looks. I now alternate the Daily Peel with C+ Collagen Brighten & Firm Vitamin C Serum to maintain the glow (yes it’s instant!!). On hormonal period, I switch to the Extra Strength Daily Peel until my breakouts subside. I’m also loving the Alpha Beta Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel (that smells like fresh passionfruit) and Ferulic + Retional Triple Correction Eye Serum for daily usage! As both of the texture is rather thick, a little certainly goes a long long way. I’m still discovering the brand as I go along, but I’ve definitely already fallen in love with all that I’ve tried so far; they certainly improved my complexion with consistent usage. If you’re keen to give them a go, do redeem the universal daily peel at @sephorasg’s rewards boutique! x . #clozette #sephorasg #sephora #drgennisgross #drdennisgrossskincare #igbeauty #sgbeauty #sgig

If you've been watching my IG Stories (or beauty routine highlights), you would have noticed my ongoing Intensive Stretchmarks Treatment with @Estheclinic! It's basically an anti-stretch mark LED photomodulation treatment combined with thermo-controlled radiofrequency to boost cellular metabolism, regenerates cells and helps remove pesky stretchmarks! My sessions have since ended a couple of month ago and I will be documenting the results on my blogpost, so do look out for that soon! . #clozette #estheclinic #sgbeauty #ootd #igbeauty #oursecondnature #alenebootd #sgig #wiwt

Have you guys tried out @marcbeauty’s Youthquake Hydra-Full Retexturizing Gel Crème? Cuz this pina colada multitasker sure pack a punch! A little goes along with this moisturizer packed with powerful pineapple enzymes, encapsulated hyaluronate, antioxidant-rich starfruit and dragonfruit extracts. The results? Instant glowly and super-hydrated skin, even for the driest skin. I tend to apply this at night, since I sleep in 18 degree a/c, yet still wake up to supple happy skin! x . #clozette #marcbeauty #marcbeautysg #sephorasg #sephora #skincarejunkie #sgbeauty #igbeauty

Apologies for the mini hiatus kitties! It wasn’t easy transitioning back to studying after 6 years of not doing so, I much rather be at work 😜 Regardless, the previous post was taken after I was trying out my new @diormakeup! For base I tried out the chic Dior Forever Couture Perfect Cushion Foundation that gives a luminous matte finish despite its hydrating properties. And let me introduce my new love: Rouge Dior Ultra Care Flower Oil Liquid Lipstick in shade #808, Caress. I love the petal velvet finish with golden shimmers, yet it feels like I’m wearing nothing on my lips. They have the lipstick version as well, but I reckon you definitely need to try out the liquid lipstick first! xx . #clozette #diorcosmetics #sephorasg #diorcosmeticssg #sgbeauty #sgig

Prepping my pre-flight face with @Koraorganics Noni Glow Sleeping Mask tonight! This light bouncy gel sinks in super quick, without any sticky after-feel, leaving my face glowing and plump the next day. What’s not to love? xx . #clozette #koraorganics #koraorganicssg #sephorasg #sephora #cleanbeauty #sgig

Been religiously trying @albionsg’s EXCIA Whitening Immaculate Essence MXC to crush melanin and eradicate dark spots (by breaking down brown spots), all while giving radiant skin! I’m halfway through this 28-day intensive treatment and I’ve got to say the most obvious results so far is its brightening properties ❤️ Despite being a tiny 1.5ml vial, it’s extremely potent! Though advised to use the entire vial at one go for maximum effect, I was afraid that it could be too much for acne-prone skin to handle, so I have been splitting two bottles into 3 days 🙊 Not ideal but at least results are still visible! Definitely worth investing if you are concerned of pigmentation and/or are looking to be a radiant, glowing bride! x . #clozette #albionsg #albion #sgbeauty #igbeauty #jbeauty #CoolJapan #asianskincare @albion_jp
