Travel Beauty Essentials


It seems we have chosen extremely humid places to visit on our travel journey. This sticky humid weather is all worth it though, there is nothing I love more than summer and sunshine beaming into my room. So right now we're in Singapore and enjoying the air-con at our hotel room. We cannot wait to share with you our (hopefully) successful hauls and the fun we will have!

Our late dinner last night at the Hotel

After coming back from Gold Coast, we packed similar skincare and makeup to Singapore.

Make up I have brought along include:

  • Sportsgirl Protect Me Sunscreen
  • Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector
  • MAC Concealer in NC25
  • MAC Studio Fix Plus Foundation
  • Bobbi Brown Pastel Eye Shadow Palette
  • Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Mascara
  • Dollywink Eyeliner 
  • Missha Shimmering Ball Blusher
  • Make Up Eyelash 02 Elegant False Eyelashes
  • Sigma Brush Set 
Makeup

I packed along the basics at the moment, as I know we will be able to buy make up from our local Watsons if needed. Brought along the Bobbi Brown Pastel Eye Shadow Palette instead of the Naked Palette, due to it's size and brighter range of colour. I have been using the colour at the end as a highlighter. If we do decide to explore Singapore's night life, this palette would be easily use for a brown smokey eye and then I can add on my false lashes! 

Skincare products:
  • Haruhada's Hyaluronic Acid to remove makeup
  • Garnier Pure 3 in 1 Cleanser
  • Cucumber Toner
  • My Beauty Diary Shining & Moisturising Sleeping Mask (to hydrate the skin at night!)
  • Pond's Flawless White with SPF 15 (as a day moisturiser)
Skincare
So we will be in Singapore for 5 days! We are heading to the famous shopping road, Orchard Rd. Fingers crossed our wallets won't be emptied out today.

Skincare 101 - The Importance of a Toner


It seems that most people often skip using a toner in their skincare routine. However, it is one of the more important steps required. Cleanse, tone and moisturize is the basics for keeping our skin happy and healthy.

Toners are used to restore the pH balance in your skin. Cleansers usually strip the skin of natural oils and distort the pH balance inside your skin. It may take your skin up to one hour to restore the acid/alkaline balance! By using a toner, it restores the pH level in your skin instantly.

When purchasing toners, try to choose one for your skin type. Try to avoid alcohol-based toners as they dry the skin.

Some toners I would recommend include:
Kuan Yuan Lin – Cucumber Water

JUJU Cosmetics - Aquamoist Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Toner
