Ego QV Bath Oil: rids that layer of body sunscreen

A few of you had asked me if it’s necessary to double cleanse after applying sunscreen to our body and what is the best product to do the job. So I thought I’ll share this product that has worked well for my husband. He applies sunscreen to his entire body whenever he goes for a swim in the day and hence, proper cleansing is necessary as clogged pores can result from sunscreen that is not washed off thoroughly. In fact, he learnt a lesson after going through a season of skin problems as a result of improper cleansing.

Share: the oldest beauty item you still own?

I was trying to clear my beauty drawer the other day and I came across some beauty items that are so old, they should really be binned. Most of these are makeup items and it’s not like I took pains to keep them in a pristine condition. Yet, I was still unwilling to part with them; I seem to be emotionally attached to them somewhat or maybe I foresaw that they’ll come in handy for a post like that. (^.^)

Gentle REN cleansers to soothe & freshen

I’ve decided that a combination of cleansing cream or milk with a gel or foaming cleanser is best for my skin type when it comes to double cleansing. That revelation came about when I was using the Kimberly Sayer Light Cleansing Lotion. So after I was finished with that bottle, I was undecided if I should get another bottle of that or try another brand. Well, I love the Kimberly Sayer one but trying another brand would, heheh, give me the opportunity to write a new review. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I decided to give REN products a try and bought two of them at Beauty Emporium – REN Zostera Marina Cleansing Milk and Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Gel – and here’s my review of them.

Makeup with SPF: your 2nd line of sun defense

Some readers have asked me if they cannot reapply their sunscreen with their makeup on, is it fine for them to rely on their makeup for sun protection. Well, the answer is yes and no; it really depends on what type of makeup they are using, the active ingredients in their products and how much they apply.

Save up to 40% on beauty buys at Changi Airport

Hey VivaBellas! Hope you’re having a good weekend so far. I know some of you are traveling as you’ve mentioned on my Facebook page. So did you buy anything from the airport or do you plan to buy something when you return? I wanted to check out some items at Perfumes & Cosmetics in Changi Airport prior to leaving for my last trip but you know what, I never got down to it. Actually, it sounds kind of strange to want to buy something prior to leaving for a trip isn’t it? But it’s not so if you consider the substantial savings you’ll get to enjoy off your favorite beauty brands.
