Tighten Your Skin, Not Pores With Kiehl’s Precision Lifting and Pore Tightening Concentrate

Kiehl's Precision Lifting and Pore Tightening Concentrate

It’s hard to review a serum that doesn’t work for everyone, especially when you think it might have worked for you but even though you’re 1/3 through the serum, you’re still not 100% sure. That’s how I feel with Kiehls’ Precision Lifting and Pore Tightening Concentrate.

I’ve been using this for 6 weeks now and I reckon it’s time to share what I thought about it with you. I’m still a bit on the fence about it but read on and let me know what you think.

Bloggie Wednesday: Preparing for a Blogging Conference

Bloggie Wednesday: Preparing for a Blogging Conference

In a couple of weeks, I’ll be heading to sunny Gold Coast for the 2015 Problogger Event. This will be my 3rd time attending the conference and while it’s a hell lot of money to pay for the ticket, flights, hotel, food, so on and so forth, it’s worth every penny. My last blogging conference was last year’s Problogger Event (also at Gold Coast) and it was my first time attending one that wasn’t held in Melbourne. I was hesitant on how it would be as 1) I wasn’t in my comfort zone (it wasn’t “my turf”, so to speak” and 2) barely anyone I knew was going to be there.

But you know what? I’m so glad I sucked it up and went because believe it or not, that conference last year changed my life. So much of it changed my outlook of blogging and of life, and it didn’t even bother me that I went there pretty much alone because when I came home, I made some new friends whom I’ll be seeing again in a few weeks.

When the tickets for this year’s conference was launched, I didn’t even hesitate to get myself a ticket. I’m GOING!

It might seem strange to say that one needs to prepare for a blogging conference because while it’s not 100% necessary, it’s going to help you so much when you’re at the conference. This is especially true if you’re going to be there on your own.

Physician’s Formula Super BB All-in-One Beauty Balm for Cheeks and Lips: Can I Call It Ping Pong Blush Instead?

Physician's Formula Super BB All-in-One Beauty Balm for Cheeks and Lips

When it comes to blushes, Physician’s Formula pretty much have them to a T. Most if not all of their powder blushes are almost too pretty to use. Today I have a dinky one to show you and while I wouldn’t say it’s too beautiful to use, it’s still pretty damn cute. It has a long name, the Super BB All-in-One Beauty Balm for Cheeks and Lips, so I’ll call it the Ping Pong blush because it’s the size of a ping-pong ball. 🙂

If you’re familiar with EOS and REVO lip balms, the packaging of this blush will come as no surprise to you. It looks just like those sort of lip balms, but instead of a waxy/glossy finish, it has a cream-to-powder one. You can use it directly on your cheeks and lips or you can use your fingers to apply it. I’ve tried it with both and I find that I prefer to apply it directly from the ball.

What’s In My Makeup Bag (July 2015)

What's In My Makeup Bag July 2015

Oh my, I haven’t done a “what’s in my makeup bag” post in ages! The last one was done in January 2013 and I’ve changed a few makeup bags since then.

Okay, when I say makeup bag, I mean the one I carry with me in my bag on a daily basis. It’s not the sort of makeup bags I’d bring when I’m travelling. Now that would be an entirely different bag altogether. Also, by makeup bag, I also mean the random almost-beauty-related items I carry with me. You’d be surprised to find that I barely have any makeup in that so-called makeup bag. I’m not the kind who would touch up my makeup when I’m out and about other than blot my nose with a facial blotting papers and reapply my lipstick.

A number of items in my bag are still the same as the ones I carried in 2013. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it, right? 😉
