Brand's Innershine Prune Plus Essence

I received a free bottle of Brand's Innershine Prune Plus Essence and decided to try it out. Of course, the results would probably appear after regular use, and taking one bottle would not necessarily have obvious results.

Brand's is far more famous for their chicken essence, which they claim promotes brain power. They constantly use the top scorers in schools as their ambassadors and I've seen plenty of their print advertisements around.

It is made from California prunes of the finest quality, and prune skin and pulp are added into the essence. It promises clear and radiant skin and also promotes bowel movement. Targeted at women, it provides the nutrients we women need without having to compromise on our already-busy lifestyles. Since it works best while we sleep, it is probably best consumed at night or during dinnertime.

The essence can be taken after refrigeration or at room temperature. I drank it at room temperature, but I think it would have tasted nicer if it was cold.

The bottle size is small but heavy, so I don't really find it handy for being on-the-go. The concentrate is thick, with bits of prune so be sure to shake the bottle before consuming. The mixture is also very very sweet. I personally didn't enjoy it, but if you like the taste of prunes then you will probably enjoy it more than I did. After that one use, I didn't find any significant differences.

Because I do not like the taste, I would not be purchasing this. But I do believe that this is far more effective than simply drinking prune juice, because it contains plenty of nutrients and has no added sugar, coloring or preservatives.

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

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.

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
