Charme Eyebrow Shaping review

http://singapore.dataotuan.com/upload/tuan/201106/09/20110609183148499571187_b.jpg 
 I was looking to trim and shape my eyebrows, and I heard good reviews from Charme, so I decided to try it out. Charme is located at Far East Plaza, which is good if you want to get some shopping done too. They have 2 outlets, the Charme Hair Studio (4th floor) and Charme Nails (3rd floor) where they also focus on waxing, makeup and eyebrows. Their website showcases all their services and prices. I went for eyebrow shaping at $15.

First of all, the place is quite crowded, even when I went on a weekday afternoon. It was a Friday afternoon though, maybe there were a lot of people who ended work early? I had to come back 5 minutes later before they could accommodate me.

The place was also small and cramped. They divided their already small area into manicures (at the back) and eyebrow and simple hair-related activities (at the front). I have to admit, I was not impressed with the service from the receptionists. They basically ignored me, and the girl (Rachel) who did my eyebrows had to attend to me. Rachel was good though, she was polite and skilled, and shaped my brows very nicely and paid careful attention to them. It wasn't painful, just a little bit here and there. I was quite pleased with the results, but after that I thought they're a bit too thin.

Overall, I didn't have a good experience from them. I could have had them done anywhere with the same results and much better experience and service. So I will prefer to do my brows elsewhere. I won't ever go back to Charme again.

Intro Post

Despite the name, this blog is not about carousels or couture (although you never know, that might change?). Nobody likes to spend money on something, only to discover that it does not deliver what it has promised. I sure don't. So I start this blog with the hopes that perhaps it'll help someone find their holy grail. And maybe, I'll find my own on the way too. Expect to find beauty and skincare reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, and current obsessions. Oh, and a little couture here and there too.

Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour 499 Dark Cherry review

TDLR Review:  I would not recommend this hair colour product at all, because the shade turned out nothing like the box. Also it is difficult to wash off.  NOTE: I have dark Asian hair, which might be the reason why it's not suitable for this product. So I'm back with another hair dye review! I've raved about the Liese hair dyes before ( Cassis Berry , Sweet Apricot , Antique Rose ), because those are super easy to use (I've appreciated that even more after finding out how difficult some at-home hair dye kits can be to apply). But I got suckered into getting a box of Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour hair dye, because the models on Schwarzkopf hair dye boxes always have gorgeous shades of hair! I've used Schwarzkopf before, I've bought the Palette in Magical Blue Black (no review, only a haul). But I was disappointed with it, because there was only a faint sheen of blue, and the black faded from my hair quite quickly. The trouble with Schwarzkopf also is

Old Town White Coffee Ipoh Hor Fun review

  Who doesn't like Old Town White Coffee? It's so nostalgic, from the furniture they have to the food they serve. It's really like a throwback to the simpler times in Singapore. According to Wikipedia, Old Town White Coffee is the largest kopitiam restaurant chain in Malaysia and has over 180 outlets in the region. Can you believe that? I love their kaya toast and of course, their Ipoh Hor Fun. Why go to Penang when you can just enjoy the Hor Fun here? Normally I get those Ipoh Hor Fun that is served in rich gravy, with not much soup. But this one is served in a clear broth, which is perfect for a light meal that is also filling. At the end of it, you won't feel too full or bloated like if you had something richer. The kway teow is served with generous helpings of prawns and chicken shreds every time I go there (my favourite outlet is Playground at East Coast Park, the area that used to be Big Splash. There are 8 outlets in Singapore at the moment, and they ar
