Fusion@London 2012 and Fashion Strikes

Fusion@London 2012 and Fashion Strikes

Now that London Fashion Week is over, let’s talk about an interesting fashion project which you can get directly involved in! In February 2012 I was lucky enough to model for an inter-University fundraising show called Fusion@London. Fashion, music and dance were central to the show. Emerging designers such as Nova Chiu, Vivien of Holloway, Jennifer Morris and Ramil Makinano lent out some exciting pieces for the show. Angel and Charli xcx were some of the headline acts! However, being backstage, I didn’t get to see their acts. Nonetheless, backstage has its positive sides such as having our makeup professionally done…

A Diary Entry to Company Beauty Week

A Diary Entry to Company Beauty Week

Some of you might already know about Company Beauty Week (#companybeautyweek), but for those of you who haven’t heard of it, it’s basically a week jam packed with events and competitions in association with Company Magazine. The event tickets were free for all Company Magazine readers and were given out on first come first serve basis. Not to be greedy, I (only, hehe) signed up for two events; Origins GinZing Event and Headmasters Styling. I think I was one of the super lucky ones to have gotten a place for the Headmasters event. Since my experience of  the two events…

Starting Off: Concealer – Garnier RollOn Review & Swatches

If you’ve read some of my previous posts then you might already know that I hardly own any make-up, especially things to cover up my blemishes.

In my previous post for The Starting Off Project, I posted a before and now picture of my skin. In the “before days”  I used to own a lot of skin coverage products so I have tried a lot of brands that have good concealers including L’Oreal,…

Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Review

Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Review

Have you heard of Kiehl’s? It is a famous American brand focusing on innovative body, hair and skin care through the use of herbs, essential oils and natural ingredients. I’ve read a few blog posts on Kiehl’s products and was surprised that a lot of people have never heard of the brand. I personally only discovered this brand a few months back on YouTube, and since then I’ve seen it everywhere, from people’s blog to department stores. This brand reminds me a lot of Ren Skincare and Origins in terms of price range and quality. To be honest, I’ve only…

Starting Off: Skincare

Starting Off: Skincare

First of all, let me introduce to you, my skin condition! My skin has gone through some major transformations throughout my life! I got acne at a young age and no matter how hard I tried to get rid of it, it stayed with me for at least 5 years. I was lucky enough to be acne free for about one year, but it started all over again in my first year at university. However, it disappeared as soon as it came when I started eating healthily and eliminated alcohol from my daily life. I still get break outs and…
