White X Gold


Went out to the beach with some of these beautiful little things today! It was so much fun. It's been some time since i had time to go out to the beach just to chill in the midst of all the work and projects that i'm working on. And of course, finally finding some time to get this blog started!

So here you go one some of the little items i brought out today,

Gold tattoos - these are temporary tattoos that i can put them wherever i want and they shine like accessories under the sun!

Vintage sunglass - very important to protect my eyes from the harmful UV rays and at the same time it's stylish! <3

Necklace with pearl in the triangle, from www.missystella.com

Real silk clutch - designed and made by a Thailand designer.

And not forgetting those marble stone bangles and earrings that is so classy and yet fun.

White and gold goes well with anything! The whites, the blacks, the basics, the flowery, the sun and the beach! <3 <3 <3

Maria Galland Foundation


Making up for lost time?

When it comes to make up, i am especially particular about the foundation i put on my face. If you don't have a good foundation, everything that is built on it will not stand.

A good quality foundation is like your first line of defence for your skin immediately after your skincare. You got to make sure that it is moisturising and do not dry your skin, at the same time it is not too rich for you. I have tried many other brands but this Maria Galland foundation is one of my top favourite! It is light and do not leave a sticky or heavy feeling on your skin.

Do you know that if your make up contains too large molecules, they do not only clog your pores, they also cause your skin to be tire and fatigue over a period of use. A good foundation that is suitable for your skin is definitely worth investing in!

Miracle Gel?

As agreed, i am going to share about these Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail polish :)

Are they really miracle? Is it really possible to have gel nails with the use of UV ray light?
I was as disbelieving as you are. But YES! They are just like normal nail polish, same application.
Do not need the use of UV light, which makes it convenient for anyone to own them and apply them on their own!

Are they as strong as Gel nails? Surprisingly they are! They lasted at least 2-3 weeks with no chips and crack! But i will say that you will need a stronger nail polish remover to get them removed.

Want to get gel nails done on your own? Sally Hansen made it all possible! Though they do not have a huge range of colors, i believing they are/will be adding more to the range as they go!

Animal Skin and Tassels


Went out for date night in animal skin and tassels! :) I the love the feeling that i am not carrying too many things and i can be free and easy.

Bought my Crocodile textured clutch from www.missystella.com ! I'm totally obsessed with that texture. The workmanship is so good, the pattern on the texture runs almost perfectly in the center. The size and thickness of this clutch is big enough for your iPad/template. The structured form ensures it doesn't go out of shape, keeping it sleek and classy.

They do worldwide shipping too! Shipping cost may variety for different country. :)

Filorga Medi-cosmetique MESO Range

My new set of products from Filorga Medi-cosmetique range!

Basic introduction to the brand: Founded by Dr. Michel Tordjman, who developed hyaluronic acid-based injectable products for the medical profession before Botox took off. The creator of NCTF, anti-aging mesotherapy product and treatment, cutting-edge non-surgical anti-ageing solutions that includes line fillers, polyrevitalizing injections (NCTF), peeling and photo-stimulation (LED). (From Paris)


S E R U M S - are very importantly to improve your skin condition because it goes deeper than moisturisers.

Being constantly exposed to sun and UV rays, ageing is a process that cannot be stopped. The next best thing we can do is, prevention. Keeping close to me is the MESO+ serum and the MESO Mask.

MESO+ helps to fight against fine lines and wrinkles. Contains Hyaluronic acid essential for anti-ageing, encapsulated retinol that helps to stimulate cell renewal and NCTF promotes cutaneous redensification. After using for 1 month, the fine lines and wrinkles have improved by almost 75%, in fact some of the fine lines are gone! Advise for dry and dehydrated skin, can be a bit rich and not advisable for younger skin.

MESO MASK is a very delicate and precious mask. It enhances radiance, treat wrinkles, helps with fatigue skin and soothes irritation. A mask that is suitable even for sensitive skin! Highly recommended for dry and tire skin. Simply do it once a week and see your skin transform and glow!

I'm so in love with MESO!

Overseas shopping and shipping!

We always say that the world is becoming smaller because travelling and importing of items are made way more accessible compared to 10 years ago.

I remember how it was almost a dream for anyone to travel anywhere out of their own country or even to just the neighbouring countries, but now, travelling across continent is a norm. Buying of things from halfway across the world is a norm. But yet, we still constantly seek for the best, the fastest and the cheapest way to ship something across the earth.

As not all online sites provides free international shipping option, we will still need to search out for companies who does shipping for us.

In the past, i use to purchase things through Vpost where they offer shopping from USA, EUROPE, JAPAN and CHINA.
 Their charges was one of the best at that point with a base charge depending on the location, weigh and fuel charge that are based on the weigh or volume of item.

However, i found a better way and it's way cheaper! 65daigou ships for you from USA, TAIWAN and CHINA.
Their rates are based on weigh only. There are no additional base charges or fuel charges. That makes it a lot cheaper to ship something from USA or China, to Singapore.
Of course the location wise does matters because if you are purchasing from Europe, then you will still have to use Vpost for now.

These sites too have a "buy for me" option where you do not have to coordinate the shipping options of the various sites and ensure the parcels arrive and coordinate for the items to be shipped to you. You can purchase you item through the site by keying in the URL of the item from the shopping sites. However, do note that they charge a service fees of 4-8% of your spending, meaning the more you spend, the more you are charged for the service.

But the good part about using this function is, they will be responsible for coordinating with the sellers and ensure that your items are received and sent out to you in good condition. Hence, they work as a meditator to ensure shopping satisfactory.

Hope this gives you a better and easier way to shop and ship! ;)

IKEA Molger Shelf Review

Many people saw my photo on this Ikea Molger shelf and commented so i decided to do a review on this! So here are my thoughts and review on this IKEA Molger Shelf, if you are intending to get one!

Firstly, i think it is a very good idea to utilise the 'unusable' space that is taken up by the toilet bowl. Many times, we try to put things on toilet bowl box where the plush button is and hope that they don't drop. When i saw this at IKEA i loved the idea!

So here's my unbiased review:
- It can only be used again a flat wall with nothing behind the toilet bowl. There a lot of toilet nowadays with this kind of built-in backing and make sure your tap is not in the way. So make sure you take your measurement properly.

- The shelf is VERY light hence, it is easy to fix and put it up. However, with its light weigh, it is IMPORTANT to ensure that the shelf is level properly by adjusting the legs as shown below.
If you have not realised, all our toilet floor is slanted so that water can be drained away. So every bit counts. Ensure that the shelf is properly fitted before putting anything on it.

- If you want to be very safe, you can get the shelf drilled to the wall.

Personally i don't like to drill things into my wall so i just have to make sure the legs are accurately adjusted. :)

- The shelf levels CANNOT be adjusted. So it limits the height of the items you can place on this shelf. There are also gaps, not very big though so you don't have worry that your handphone will drop through but please do not put small accessories pieces hoping that they will not roll off into the toilet bowl.

- Lastly, value for money? In the image below i have included the image of the code and measurement for you, for easy reference and you can just show the IKEA staff for purchase.


I personally think that S$99 for this is a bit expensive compared to the many other cheap shelving they have. For the idea of using an 'unusable' space, i still bought it anyway. If you are expecting very high quality wood or product because of the price you are paying... Not really... in fact there were some visible scratch marks already on it.

Hope this review helps you to make the decision and also for you to get all the measurements ready before making a wasted trip down to the nearest IKEA. :)
