It is the time of the year where people are more inclined to frolic in the beach, do more outdoor activities and fall asleep on the grass in the park. Yes, it is the time of the year we* all love. The heat, the warmth of the sun on our skin, bright sunny days and the extended sun light hours are what everyone looks forward to all year round.

We all know that sunscreen is très important in our daily skincare routine. These days, sunscreens are so advanced and packed with all sorts of new technologies that it’s a little confusing to choose one that suits your needs. Not to mention that the choices we are presented with are mind-blowingly awesome that it’s hard to settle with just one.

Party season is in full swing. It is the time of year where everyone is looking to have a little bit of fun; where you catch up with mates and have your photo taken far more frequently than usual. Some of you might have after parties to attend; some of you will hit the beach to soak up the gorgeous weather.

If you work in the beauty/fashion/magazine industry (lucky you!), you can go ahead and disregard this post. But if you’re like the rest of us who don’t get to be too creative, funky or experimental with makeup and hair at work then read on..

Oh my God! Melbourne just had the most scorching week ever. It feels like we are in the middle of summer right now (and I’m pretty sure the rest of Australia feels the heat too). When all the magazine and beauty gurus tell us about switching our skincare and makeup products when the seasons change, they’re not just saying that to make us buy more stuff - they have a point.

I am sure everyone has their own little set of rules when it comes to beauty. God knows I have more than a little set of rules that I follow religiously. In fact, I name them my beauty commandments. Let me share with you ten of them, the ones that have survived the test of time and which I’m pretty sure most beauty writers would agree with. (Ed’s note: Yes. We would.)

I love a little radiance on my skin and since light-reflecting properties have popped up in loads of skincare and makeup products in the past few seasons, I am not alone.

Let’s face it; we all love to read about what other people’s favourite products are because most likely, if it works for them, it could work for us.

Today, I will be ranting about something that is very close to my heart and something that I rarely share with other people. Maybe some of you can relate. I had my first pimple at the tender age of 8. Strictly speaking, I had pretty bad skin, growing up with moderate to severe acne. Papules, pustules, cysts, nodules, acne scars, enlarged pores & blackheads were the constant foes I had to battle. This is one of the reasons why I got interested in skincare at a very young age. ... more

Facial Cloth Masks (FCMs) are not uncommon in most parts of Asia because of their convenience, cooling effect from the hot weather and availability. FCMs in Australia, however, are quite a rare commodity. And, while I do know that there’s quite a few brands (Olay, Neutrogena, Biotherm, shu uemura, SK-II, SkinVitals, Missha) that carry them here, the choices are a little limited and sometimes pricey. But don’t worry, here’s what you need to scope out if you want to try them. ... more
