NuTeen Acne and Pimples Away Sleeping Mask review

http://thesamplestore.sg/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/0256_APA-SleepingMask.jpg

Usually the sleeping masks I know are for moisturizing or oil control. But this sleeping mask targets acne and pimples, and is applied just before you go to bed. I like NuTeen's Oil Away Cool Cleanser so I got suckered into buying this when I was in Watsons. I read quite a lot of good reviews on this product, and the packaging looked really good too, it just called out to me!

It comes in a light-weight plastic tub with a screw-on top lid. It has a green top and white bottom, similar to the type of designs of the other products from NuTeen. Inside it is a light green gel that you have to scoop out with your fingers or a spatula. It is meant to be put on after your night moisturizer. It has a very light consistency, and has a cooling feeling. When you wake up the next day, you can wash your face to rinse off the mask.

It contains salicylic acid to fight the acne-causing bacteria, and works to prevent and cure acne. However, I'm not exactly very impressed with this. It does help to calm down my acne a little bit, but my acne does not go away, even though I put it on every night. It works well if you have those first day pimples, but it does not help to fade acne scars. What I do like about it is that if I have those first day pimples, I can put this on and it will make the white 'head' come out, so that I can squeeze it. This quickens the process, so that the pimple will fade away much more quickly after that. I like the texture and cooling feeling, and I might repurchase this when I finish it. However, because it is only good for first day pimples but not a-few-days-old pimples, I will also be looking out for other products that will help to reduce acne scars.

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
