I’ve been to the sephora store in Taka but I didn’t see any Nars products there. Maybe I’m too awed by the vast collection of make up to be seen.

I hope to get a lipstick & blusher from Nars. I bought my blusher last year in Sydney.

Nora: No NARS at Sephora here. They don’t carry it…not yet.

Have you tried Bobbi Brown lipsticks? My favorite from hers is the rum raisin color, goes on nicely and not overly bright or dull. Anyway, you mentioned in other lip posts about ‘exfoliating’ the lips, can you expound upon that or send me in the right direction for more info, my lips constantly peel, to the point of bleeding a bit, I’m using John Masters which is great but not great with lipstick, but still, I’m peeling and wondered what the ‘exfoliating’ thing meant? Thanks!

cowsandlemonade: Hi, I have not tried Bobbi Brown’s lipsticks or any of her cosmetics. I wish I have the chance in future.

For exfoliating the lips, it works the same as exfoliating the skin…except that the lips is more delicate so normal facial exfoliator don’t work. We need to rub away the top dead skin on the lips otherwise you’ll find that your lips become flaky after awhile when you use lipstick or even lipbalm. There are some products on the market to do the job eg. Lipscription from Benefits but it really uses AHA and Jojoba Beads.

You can also try using a toothbrush to brush your lips. I tried that but didn’t find it great for me.

i din know that we even have a mini Sephora @ Scotts Road!! Gonna take a look asap. Can't wait for the one @ Takashimaya. Thanks for your info!! yukifumi: Yes, there is a little counter at DFS, next to Royal Plaza Hotel at Scotts Road. But last I saw, they only have their in-house brands. So got to wait for the big one to be up if we want the other brands.

There’s a Sephora coming up in Takashimaya?! *faints* I’m SO jealous…. luckily I live just across the causeway (not literally, but you get the idea)

YZ: Heh. We actually already have a mini Sephora at Scotts Road but it’s just a small corner at the Duty Free section. The bigger one is coming up at Taka but I don’t know when exactly. It’s easy for you to come down! Good thing Singapore is small.

Hi!! i went to True Colors and they say they no longer carry NARS (T_T) yukifumi: They don't? Oh dear. When did they discontinue because they still have it on their website. Okay, no worries. I believe the new Sephora coming up in Taka would have it. Let's cross our fingers.
