One of the things that I like to keep in my purse is a bottle of fragrance. You never know when you need it. I love wearing a delicate, light floral scent, as it leaves the skin fresh, feminine and sensual all at the same time. The new Floral Drops Eau De Toilette from Dolce & Gabanna is a refreshing floral fragrance which is anything but overpowering. It’s inspired by […]]]> https://sparklette.net/beauty/dolce-floral-drops/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/beauty/white-gradient-nail-art/ https://sparklette.net/beauty/white-gradient-nail-art/#respond Fri, 06 Dec 2013 06:09:31 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1542

It’s time for another nail update! Following that awesome floral nail art (which had lasted more than a month with crystals intact!) at Simplicity Nails, I decided to go for a more muted design. In terms of colours, I communicated with my nail artist, Trina that I really wanted a white theme that looks elegant and versatile enough to match any outfit. Here’s the outcome. Gelish manicure, with gradient nail […]]]> https://sparklette.net/beauty/white-gradient-nail-art/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/beauty/floral-nail-art/ https://sparklette.net/beauty/floral-nail-art/#comments Mon, 23 Sep 2013 07:49:15 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1516

I’m absolutely in love with the beautiful floral nail art that I had done at Simplicity Nails, so much so that I have been raving about it to any person that cares and posting pictures on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/every social network ever. Simplicity Nails is a home-based nail salon operated by Trina in the western part of Singapore. Trina has obvious passion and pride in her craft, and it manifests in the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/beauty/floral-nail-art/feed/ 1 https://sparklette.net/beauty/vanitytrove-april-2013/ https://sparklette.net/beauty/vanitytrove-april-2013/#respond Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:59:14 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1478

As a Hello Kitty fan girl, I thought it will be fun to commission my nail artist to do up Hello Kitty nail art. This is the cute nail design created by Zima at Ms ZS Studio: Hello Kitty appears on a white French tip on the ring finger. The other nails have brown tips on a gold sparkly base, along with bright pink and brown dots.

I just did my first manicure and pedicure with gelish rather than conventional nail polish and I am beyond happy with it. For this nail grooming experience, I went to Ms ZS Studio.

Subscription boxes – where you pay to receive a monthly surprise box of curated goodies in the mail – are the craze these days. And it’s not hard to see why. The idea works for subscribers because it adds a surprise element to product discovery. And we all look forward to receiving surprise gift boxes don’t we?

Every once in a while, I like to pamper myself with a spa massage or facial treatment. I only have wonderful words to describe my recent facial experience with GLOMAX Aesthetics. This beauty parlour provides facial and body treatment services. With its location at SOHO 2 @ The Central, GLOMAX Aesthetics is a convenient stop for working professionals in the area.

I have been sort of a gym rat lately, heading to Phillip Wain at United Square every other evening for a good workout. What I really like about Phillip Wain is that it’s a pampering heaven for ladies (yes, it’s a complete women-only health and beauty club). Apart from the gym and fitness classes, the club also offers a galore of beauty treatments.

A range of products that I recently fell in love with is ECOYA, the Australian home fragrance, bath and body brand. These eco-luxe products are environmentally friendly and add a touch of delicious fragrance and class to any home. No wonder they are favoured by celebrities!

I’m not much of a girly girl who uses plenty of cosmetics or follows a strict skincare regime. But one thing that I do try not to skip out on is a good face moisturiser. I feel that’s probably the bare minimal that the skin deserves. One product that I have started using daily for the past two months is Clinique’s Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator.

We recently ran a poll here asking readers to feedback on what sort of products they would like to see featured on Sparklette. More than 30% responded with beauty products, closely followed by gadgets. I guess that means we’ll be reviewing more of these products from now on!

In Bangkok, I find myself constantly heading to the 7-Eleven stores to stock up on these collagen drinks. Apparently, these “Beauti” drinks are made with some form of collagen formula and promise to be chock-full of the beauty-enhancing collagen protein!

I got hold of a couple of My Beauty Book from Maybelline recently. Guess what the book is about? An idiot’s guide to cosmetics? Makeup techniques? Colour guide? Ta-da! It’s a makeup palette!
