Too Faced Melted Chocolate Swatches: Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette & Melted Lipstick

Image
Too Faced's Melted Chocolate collection, consisting of the Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette and 6 shades of Melted Lipstick, is coming to Singapore in March. In the run up to that, I've got swatches of both the eyeshadow palette as well as the Melted Lipstick, and I'm so excited! Too Faced Melted Chocolate Makeup Collection The "Melted Chocolate" theme is pretty obvious with the products - the Melted Lipsticks are all varying shades of brown, in a very Kylie Jenner lips-esque sort of way, and the palette smells of chocolate, which is to say, it smells very yummy. In general, the quality of the collection also holds up very well for Too Faced - it's pretty similar quality-wise to their existing Melted Lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes, which is to say, it's pretty good.

Asian Skincare & Makeup BonjourHK Haul Part 2: Berrisom and Holika Holika

Image
Yes, more Kbeauty skincare and makeup goodness! This is the second post on my most recent BonjourHK haul, just because there was too much to blog about in one post without making it super long and photo-heavy. (That said, I do think my previous post on Part 1 of the haul was indeed quite long and photo-heavy, but at least I tried!) Yes, these all came in one package! Yesterday, we took a look at the skincare products - there was cleanser, face/body gel, skin analyzers, and masks of various sorts. Today, we're going to be looking at the lip products! One is a makeup product I'm pretty excited about, while another one is a multi-step lip mask pack. My second haul from BonjourHK, a retailer that carries a lot of Kbeauty brands Let's jump right in!

Asian Skincare & Makeup BonjourHK Haul Part 1: Holika Holika, Secret A, Cos Beauty and More

Image
Some time back I hauled from Kbeauty shop BonjourHK , my second haul since my previous one I blogged about some months back . As always, the draw was the array of Kbeauty items, including both makeup and skincare! And it is quite a haul too! My second haul from BonjourHK, a retailer that carries a lot of Kbeauty brands As with the last time, my haul arrived quite speedily - within 2 weeks, if I recall correctly, and everything was nicely packaged and nothing was broken. The haul includes skincare products from some mainstream Kbeauty brands, such as Holika Holika, as well as more niche ones, such as Berrisom, Secret A, and also other Asian-but-not-Kbeauty brands, such as Cos Beauty. And the products range from BonjourHK Haul: Holika Holika, Secret A, Cos Beauty, and Berrisom Since this haul has quite a lot of stuff, I've broken it down into two posts, so that it won't be too long. In this first post, I'll deal with the face cleansers, skin lotions, skin analyzers, and other...

5 Best VPNs for Torrents and P2P File Sharing

Image
Torrents have become incredibly popular for sharing files online, and as networks continue to grow for P2P file sharing , increasingly more people are tuning in to this massive content sharing system. Of course, there are inherent security risks with any type of file sharing. This, coupled with the fact that the content of torrent files is usually something copyrighted, such as music or movies, is making users look deeper for ways to protect their privacy and stay anonymous. Most people have at least basic anti-malware software installed on their devices, which is really helpful in screening files that may have viruses tucked away in them somewhere. However, this type of software really doesn�t do anything to secure your actual connection, it just secures your device. Where there�s a will, there�s a way, and VPNs have answered the call. VPNs - Virtual Private Networks �offer users a secure and anonymous connection, along with global access to any content they want, regardless of their ...

Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask and Renewal Serum Review

Image
Origins' Original Skin Retexturizng Mask and Renewal Serum aren't new products - they were actually launched end of last year - but since I'm catching up on some old reviews at the moment, I figured, better late than never! And I suppose as far as skincare reviews are concerned, it's always a bit better to wait til you've tried the product more before reviewing it, because then you really get a better sense of how the product works. Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask and Renewal Serum: Targeting A Slightly Younger Crowd From some of the promotional material I've seen, the Original Skin range is meant to target ladies with a "quarter-life crisis", so unlike traditional anti-aging lines it has a younger target audience. The Original Skin Retexturizing Mask is supposed to be a " two-in-one purifying mask and skin refiner ", while the Renewal Serum is billed as a " renewal serum (duh, I guess) designed to restore the glow of younger sk...
