Benefit They're Real Mascara review

http://www.beautezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Benefit-They_re-REal-4.jpg

I heard a review from a good friend who bought the mascara that it was fantastic. I am rather picky with the results of any mascara (After using false lashes, I get very disappointed with using many mascaras that give ordinary results). I don't really buy anything from Benefit, but I thought perhaps I should give it a try. While i was in the US, I spotted a sample size of They're Real! mascara in Sephora. Why not try it?

It comes in a sleek unassuming grey tube with a silver cap. The sample size (net weight 4g) is half the normal size, which makes it easier to tote around. The wand size is still large, which makes it a little tricky to apply. However, I was very impressed with what I got.

They're Real! is fantastic in lengthening my top and bottom lashes, and I was able to apply it on every bottom lash. There is virtually no clumping as well. It was not so great on the volumizing category, but overall it has become one of my favorite mascaras. Once I have run out of this, I will definitely repurchase the normal tube size.

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...

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.
