Sponsored I discovered that the Lazada surprise boxes were a cheaper way to try out potential products to incorporate into my skincare routine. These boxes costs $29 nett but contain products that retail for at least $100 – how much savings is that? The only problem is that they are surprise boxes. When purchasing, if […]

Skincare Review | R.N.A. power by SK-II
I had very good experiences from years of using the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and, on and off, other products from SK-II. They left my skin supple, well hydrated and fresh. However, I stopped using SK-II for a few years later on due to the cost. What I use in replacement doesn’t give me the […]
Fastest, easiest way to clean makeup brushes
I used to have a love hate relationship with make up brushes. I love that they do the job so well but I hate it that I have to clean them. I bought specialty products for brush cleaning and used them for many years. Some were the spray on / non-rinse type. Basically you spray […]
10 Eyeliner tips and tricks
Have you seen this video of men trying out eyeliner? It’s hilarious! Men Try Eyeliner Posted by SOML on Sunday, 9 August 2015 I caught the men ask why people who put on eyeliner (it’s not just women!) do this to themselves. The answer is preference? Personally, I think make up, like dressing appropriately is a […]
Super quick make up that lasts
No matter how early my appointments are, I am always made up when I get there. People are normally skeptical when I tell them that my make up took me about 5 minutes or less but it’s true and I’ll show you how. Take good care of your skin The real secret for fast make […]
Browtisan by Coco | Eyebrow embroidery touch up experience
6-7 weeks after having my eyebrow embroidery done, I scheduled my first complimentary touch up. A touch up this quick after initial eyebrow embroidery is necessary because everyone’s skin takes to the colour dye at different rates and everyone’s embroidered eyebrows shrinks differently after the initial embroidery settles. The initial eyebrow embroidery acts as a gauge and the first touch up […]
Browtisan by Coco | Strand by strand eyelash extensions
I have never really considered going for eyelash extensions because it is pretty easy to work with my natural lashes. I mostly use a lengthening mascara (as opposed to thickening, because I feel that lashes become thicker when you apply enough layers anyway) or I use falsies when I need to be more dramatic. The convenience […]
Browtisan by CoCo | My eyebrow embroidery story
There are many different types of eyebrows you can invest in and they come with vastly different price tags. The left most ones are the cheapest (can be gotten for $200+ I heard) but I decided early on that if I were to ever do eyebrow embroidery, it must be the stroke by stroke kind […]
Eyebrow embroidery | Why I did it.
Have you read this article about why successful people wear the same (or almost the same) thing everyday? It has been on my mind ever since I read it about 10 days ago and while shopping yesterday, I finally concluded that it’s not quite possible for me. Cutting down my wardrobe is definitely possible, so […]
My hair secrets | What’s yours?
I’ve been suffering from flat hair for a while now, especially since mine has grown quite long. To achieve some kind of sustainable volume, I’d need careful flat iron curling, dry shampoo at specific portions of my hair, super strong hold hair spray and about an hour. Which is why, I’ve been sending friends photos […]
Some Make Up Secrets | K-palette 1 Day Magic Series
In my (much) younger days, I’m known for being highly skilled in transforming myself into a panda, like so. These days, the highest transformation level I go to is something like this only, for dinner events or weddings. On days with no special events, I wear minimal make – just enough to look human will […]
Ganban-yoku Therapy (岩盤浴) at Anti-Oxidant Centre + Giveaway & Readers’ Promotion! [ Giveaway Completed ]
I feel myself swell up significantly once in a while because of water retention but I know just the thing to bring it down – drink a lot of water, gradually. The other way of dropping the water weight / swelling / detoxing is, logically, to sweat it out. Ganban-yoku Therapy (岩盤浴) is a rock […]
