Nostalgic beauty products of yesteryear

Find these products familiar? Seen them on the vanity table of your mom or your grandma? Or maybe you’ve tried them when you were younger? The square box of white powder with the fair maiden is probably considered iconic as it’s been around for ages and you can still get it for around S$1.80 or so at the market. I don’t remember if my mom used the powder but she kept one of these in her drawer all the time. I do the same too because it makes such a pretty keepsake.

Share: what’s your favorite facial moisturizer?

I’ve been asked a number of times to recommend a facial moisturizer and I’m always stumped for an answer and nothing comes to my mind. Because for about two years now, I rarely use moisturizer on my face. Other than the range from True Beauty, I’ve been using mostly facial oils, serums and sunscreens. In fact, most of my sunscreens double up as a facial moisturizer for me.

How the mini USB fan keeps my nails cool & dry

Do you own one of these mini USB fans? I love them and I think whoever introduced them is ingenious because they don’t need to be plugged to a power socket. Instead, they’re powered by the USB port of your computer, laptops or even PS3 game machines. I bought two of these from Home-Fix a couple of months ago and I have one sitting permanently on my desk, keeping me cool while I’m working on the computer. Then the other day, I was painting my nails and I realized that these mini fans can help to dry the nails! Why didn’t I think of that earlier?
