Review: Biore cleansing oil-in-cotton

Hello all!!!! did u guys had an awesome christmas???? I did despite being super sick hehe! It's the flu season here in Singapore so I caught some serious flu virus... was down the whole week before xmas week. I quarantined myself at home for the whole week as I was too uncomfortable to go out and I didnt wanna spread it to others. (SO CONSIDERATE RIGHT! haha)


Anyway, I was feeling better so I decided to meet my friends hehe! But I look damn sick and pale. :( Instant remedy: MAKEUP! HAHA 



I was going for the natural look. hehe! so I had bb cream, concealer, foundation, blusher, pressed powder and blot powder on. My eyebrows look damn nice right!!!! I went for eye brow embroidery the day before. I shall blog abt it when the eye brow project is done ^.^



Ok...Back to the intent of this post. Review of this super convenient makeup remover: Biore cleansing oil-in-cotton. I dont like anything with oil as I find that it's super easy to form milia seeds (a.k.a oil seeds) Since this is like SUPER convenient I did the rash thing (which I always do) I bought it. 


I actually bought it when I was shopping for stuff that I need to bring for my holiday trip: China (I NEVER thought I would say this but China is fantastic). I didn't want to carry my makeup remover there as I felt that it takes up alot of space (lame excuse). haha! so YAY! I had a reason to buy and try this product.

(A photo of my literally trying hahahahaha)

After the first wipe~ REALLY NOT BAD!



So here's a photo of my half cleansed face. To let you guys see how CLEAN this product can get your face to be. 

This photo is w/out flash. (Inserts 9gag idk what im doing dog... haha! just inserted this for fun! In case u guys can't see the difference from the previous photo) 

So I used like 5 pieces to ensure that my face is TOTALLY clean. If you guys are wondering why not stop at the 3rd since the 3rd is barely used. I'm sure if you clean harder it will clean everything. WRONGGGGGGGG! having good skin is the most important thing of all. If you sleep with makeup on or didnt clean it enough, your face will age MUCH faster. like 5-10 years faster! SOOOO HORRIBLE! (my aim is to age beautifully haha) In the end I cleaned and cleaned until I can see nothing on the tissue. Call me kiasu. 


Anyway! I rate this product a MUST HAVE for TRAVELING! coz it's really too convenient! Also, you can use it for your eye makeup all. It can really clean and doesnt have that oily feel after usage. I rate it a 8/10 coz it's really value for money as well! Wallet friendly and good. It's a steal! hehe! 


XOXO

NOTD: Simple X'Mas Nails!


Hello everyone! MERRY X'mas! Sorry I haven't been blogging much :( I went to China for my holidays and that place is awesome. Yes, China is awesome. Didn't expect myself to say that but that place is BEAUTIFUL! and than I fell sick after I came back. So happens that 3 of my family members at home were sick when I returned and I caught it from them. THEM. ok?!?!?! I did not carry some weird illness back. But yea I got really sick  :( I stayed at home for a WHOLE week coz I didn't even have the strength to go out. And PORRIDGE EVERYDAY... omgawd that was the worst combination ever. 


ANYWAY! For those who are concerned I feel so much better already! :D Thank God for my recovery just in time for x'mas! :) What do I do when I feel better? Not to parties or shopping, but to paint my nails :) Of course after I ate my pizza and drank my bubble tea. hehe! I can't tell you how good it felt omg it was like fireworks and love and glitter all mixed together. teehee! Since x'mas is around the corner, I did my nails x'mas style. Since I just recovered I don't have the strength and energy to be all bubbly and energetic. So my nails are pretty low key, just like how i'm gonna be for the next few days. 
I kept it simple and classic for my hands as I didn't have that urge to go all cute this x'mas. Probably it's the fever getting my head. teehee!

There's abit more of a party going on down at my toes as I felt that it's not easy for them to stand out. They are quite poor thing, always get outshined by the shoes. Not this time! I had painted more of the white for a more x'masy feel and added glitter polish on top of the white so the whole thing won't look like it has too much going on. Sorry that there wasn't even any lighting... will take a nicer photo next time! So what do you think of it?  

How does your nails look this x'mas?


p.s. I got a beats headphones from my parents! HEHE! not because of x'mas but it's because I was THAT sick. yea my parents are weird. They don't give me presents during occasions. They give me presents when I'm sick... usually... well, only when I'm major sick. HAHA! blessing in disguise? idk... it makes me feel better :) Will post more photos when i'm actually out hehe

XOXO
