Two Girls love | MAC Illustrated by Julie Verhoeven

If you’re looking for a sneaky mid-month treat, you won’t go far wrong with MAC’s new Illustrated series from Julie Verhoeven. The acclaimed illustrator has made a quick appearance on our site before, but this collection deserves proper screen time. The graphic, punchy visuals on these make up cases are almost prettier than the products...

Dr Jart+ BB cream reviewed

Sooo, the Asian world’s beauty secret has finally been revealed to the world. The explosion of BB cream (not literally; that would be messy) all over the world has led to a bewildering number of beauty brands jumping onto the BBandwagon and pushing out their own variety. Now, BB cream has been around long enough...

Two Girls Love | Lisa Eldridge on YouTube

We’re late to the party, and have just discovered makeup guru Lisa Eldridge‘s wealth of makeup tutorials on YouTube. If you’re at all interested in makeup or English accents, this channel will be just like catnip to a tabby.

Two Girls love | Heroic lip balms

Two Girls love | Heroic lip balms

Lips. What I should say is that you should keep them moisturised because that’ll make them all kissable and lovely. What I really want to say is that you should keep them moisturised because chapped lips are a real bitch. Seriously. Ever felt the gentle tearing of cracked skin by the side of your mouth?...

Lullabelle | Handmade soap and more

Patricia Yau has always been a crafty one. She’d already been selling handmade zakka items like feathered headbands and other handmade curios when the idea to go into the soap business struck suddenly; she’d been importing handmade soaps from Taiwan, and one day thought “Why not create my own?”. Bless her DIY spirit. Pat dived...

Melvita Eau Extraordinaire reviewed

Remember my last review, where I extolled the virtues of drugstore beauty products? Well, these Melvita products were bought way before I had found the light or that lousy beauty-binge-buster called ‘being grown-up and practical’ had kicked in. The products are Eau Extraordinaire fleurs d’Orange and Eau Extraordinaire Rose. I use their original French names...
Everything Balm reviewed

Everything Balm reviewed

Trilogy’s Everything Balm is one of those wonder products that claims to work on everything. It’s a blend of a million different oils, plant extracts and general good stuff and they say that it will feed your skin nice things and make you all happy and glowy (in a slightly more scientific way). It’s RM59...

Rimmel London 1000 Kisses Lip Tint reviewed

I’ve always dismissed the lipstick index as something I would never succumb to. But recently in a bid to start an actual savings account, I’ve been trying to avoid my usual resting places of Zara and Topshop and thus have found myself with increasing frequency at Watsons and Guardian. All of which is a longwinded...
Baby Moist Essence reviewed

Baby Moist Essence reviewed

With age, there’s been a slight regression with my beauty purchases. Before, I used to scrimp and save for high-end brands at department stores, but my recent purchases have all come from the hallowed aisles of local pharmacies like Guardian and Watsons. Funny. Most people usually work the other way around. What made me make...
Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter

Through my stalking of beauty vloggers on YouTube, I was gratified to find that little ol’ Malaysia received stock of the new and very hyped Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter before the UK. Go us! The colours are on shelves now in most pharmacies at the fairly reasonable price of RM24.90. (And let me preface this...
