A Combo for Combo Skin: Rojukiss A-Sol + A-Serum
FIRST THOUGHTS: “Will Rojukiss be my next HG Asian Brand?” I will be reviewing my absolutely favourites these days, Rojukiss A-Solution Set (A-Sol + A-Serum) from Wishtrend. I have been using this set for almost two weeks now – that’s a week before and a week during my period, so my skin is struggling with my papansin hormones. Perfect timing to test products, right?

A Very SweeTetite Treat: Oreo Choco Truffles
Valentine’s Day - It’s that time of the year again when couples are: a.) excused for being mushy in public b.) wear cliché I ♥ Her - I ♥ Him shirts and c.) forced to buy expensive gifts for their “better half”.

No Photoshop, Promise!: Mehron Celebré Pro HD...
FIRST THOUGHTS: “Instant lemming… thanks to Wayne Goss!” I’ve never heard of Mehron until one of my (new) favourite Youtube gurus, Wayne Goss, raved about it.
