File those thick-skinned dinosaur feet!

I happen to chance upon this body shop foot file introduced by a podiatrist (foot doctor) which cost S$6.90. I don't have any troubled feet problem but thought I should just give it a try just for fun. -.-"  Before (no idea why it looks dirty despite washing them thoroughly): With a *wave of my foot file* and a shout out "dead skin be gone!" TADAH! Results : Honestly, I have no idea how to use it. After washing & drying them,  I just happily file my feet by scrubbing it against those areas with thicker skin. It feels like sandpaper and the file will have visible dead skin (those powder looking thing) attached to it.  Then I ended the process by washing and drying them again and applied moisturizer (I feel it absorbs better after filing). My foot became smoother, fairer and free from callus~ :) I did some research and realise that I should also soak my feet before filing. Maybe I can also do a foot mask after filing.

I used to have rather dry, cracked lips. And my itchy fingers will go an tear those dry skin off, leaving my lips bloody at times. T_T Having such dry lip condition makes lip sticks/tints/gloss hard to look smooth. It just looks cakey and ugly. That's when my lovely boyfriend (thankew dear ^^ ) bought for me the Vaseline Lip Therapy  with Advanced Formula as seen below in the picture.  It's really really good and is really cheap at S$2.80 at those neighbourhood stores!  I use it before I sleep and before I put on my lip stick/tint/gloss.  It is like a gel and is very creamy. So don't overly squeeze the cream out! It has no smell and no colour. So you can use it as a make up base. My BFF recommends the Elizabeth Arden Lip Protectant Stick that contains protective sunscreen. But obviously that is much much more expensive. $_$ Ultimately, the best treatment to anything will of course be to drink more water!

Oil be gone! Panda eyes no more!

It is always embarrassing to have all the eye make up smudged over my eyes that I ended up looking like a: Haha! Okie, that is overly cute. But looking like a human panda is totally not cute at all.  A year ago, I researched on which  eye primer to use to help solve the oily lid panda problem. Basically , eye primer sets your eye make up and helps it satay longer, stops the creasing/smudging and helps brighten up the eye colours. One of the top eye primers that are highly recommended is: Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion They come in easy to squeeze tube, where you can just squeeze a tiny droplet of "potion" to make wonders to your eyes.  There are 4 fancifully named colours available:  - Original (nude invisible) - Sin (champagne shimmer) - Eden (nude matte) - Greed (shimmering yellow gold) I bought the Champagne shimmer from Sephora Singapore. It is pretty expensive for a small tube that contains 11ml of

Ellips Hair Vitamin!

Thank you Mieo for recommending affordable Ellips Hair Vitamin capsules to me! And CC for motivating me to review again despite this hectic PEAK period. >.< Anyway.. I bought a bottle of yellow "Smooth & Shiny" capsules to bring to Taiwan to fight the dry winter season when I was there in Dec~ They have different types of vitamins depending on what you are looking for: Verdict : Definitely a must buy! ^_^ PROs: - Cheap, cheap, cheap!  It's 50 capsules for less than $20 from Watsons! (>.< sry, can't rmb the exact $) - Package in CAPSULES It's convenient to bring a handful around when travelling/working!  - Has a nice pleasant smell - Not oily or sticky CONs: - Require scissors to cut the capsules (lol. can't think of anything bad.) COMPARISON to Body Shop's Grape seed hair serum Although Body shop's Grape seed hair serum was awesome, I felt that Ellips does more magic to the hair texture .
