The Comeback Of Denim

Denim is making a comeback – on shorts, skirts, overalls and even the unconventional, such as midi skirts and hoodies. For all you out there who are completely overwhelmed by the multitude of denim options there are, we have categorised them as such for you to take your pick.

1. Denim Jeans

Needless to say, the most commonly worn denim apparel is the jeans. They are functional, versatile and trendy. Go for the ripped jeans look, which is all the rage this season, or if you are more adventurous, why not put on a pair of denim jeans with prints and patterns?

2. Denim Jackets

Another common denim look you can see on the street is the denim jacket. Pair them with a simple t-shirt and pants to add some colour and texture to your ensemble or wear them with a dress to add some edge to a feminine look.

3. Denim Overalls

Mixing and matching current trends is a favourite hobby for fashionistas and denim overalls are an example of that, in particular, denim “skirt” overalls.  Even a simple, plain dark blue denim overall will make one look absolutely adorable and you can even opt for one with prints to grab even more attention.

4. Denim for Men

Unlike our pleated and wide-pant trend which is geared more towards women, men are equally able to pull off the denim look as well. Dark blue, tailored jeans are perfect for a casual look and, at the same time, gives the impression that he at least “bothers to dress up”. It is likewise for denim shirts, which are useful for both casual and semi-formal occasions.

5. The Unconventional Denim

As with all trends, there will be a few adventurous fashion-lovers who are able to pull off an unconventional look – and being such a versatile material, denim is definitely not an exception.

6. The Denim Couple

Just when you thought we have all the denim apparel there are – we are not done yet! This is out to inspire couples who are looking for a “different type” of couple look and to make all you single ladies (and men) go “Aww” with helpless jealousy.

Singapore's Favorite Korean Cosmetic Brands & Their Worthy Mentions (Part II)

안녕하세요, beautiful people!

We are back with part 2 of Singapore’s Favorite Korean Cosmetic Brands!

So what do we have in store to show you today?

1. VDL

Price Range: $$

A fairly new player in the Singapore market - this brand has quickly won the hearts of all beauty-lovers in our tropical city. With it’s super sleek and posh ambience, it readies elegantly packaged cosmetics to be indulged by customers.

While everyone raves about the Beauty Metal Cushion Foundation, we cannot deny that our most loved from VDL is their Lumilayer Primer. Crazy easy to blend, keeps makeup flawless for significantly longer and gives a radiant glow. What’s not to love?

After all, it was soooo popular that it was practically sold out in Singapore when it made its first launch.

2. Laneige

Price Range: $$$

This brand is no stranger to Singaporeans, albeit some initially had difficulties pronouncing its name… A popular brand name, it truly lives up to its standards of producing quality products for just about any skin requirement.

Almost everyone knows Laneige’s signature product, but it’s really worthwhile to mention again. Our favorite is their awesome Water Sleeping Mask!

Singapore's Favorite Korean Cosmetic Brands & Their Worthy Mentions (Part I)

안녕하세요 once again, dear readers!

Today we are going to be sharing part 1 on some insight on Korean cosmetic shops that you are able to find in Singapore stores - and highlighting some must-try products from them!

Beauty-lovers will definitely not want to miss out on this! ;)

1. The Face Shop

Pricing Range: $$

The first noticeable Korean cosmetic store that popped out in Singapore - this brand has been going strong with popular items like their colorful & affordable range of nail polish shades that are so pretty!

However what we really love about The Face Shop are their masks! Economical and they really work. What we feel every girl needs to have is the Real Nature Mask Sheet range!

Each of them cater to different ‘occasions’! Lately when the weather was getting mighty hazy and dry, we loved to slap on the Green Tea or Chia Seed one. For special occasions, the Blueberry one is a must! It really helps smoothen the skin surface and slows down the skin’s oxidation rate, this way makeup stays fresh for longer!

2. Missha

Price Range: $$

Another of Korean cosmetics’ pioneer brands to enter Singapore, Missha disappeared for a while and has now made a strong comeback.

And we were ecstatic over the news! Missha’s very worthy mention is this BB Cream right here…

The M Perfect Cover BB Cream!

This product has to be used sparingly - so less is more here! It provides a good medium coverage and does not oxidise so quickly as well.

By far one of the best Korean BB Creams in the market! ;)

3. Etude House

Price Range: $$

Known as the brightest store - mainly because their stores are perpetually glaringly bright and flushed in light pink. All part of their young & fresh image!

What we really love from Etude House is their range of Fresh Cherry Lip Tint.

After applying some product on your lips, you’ll find that the color has worked its way under your lips and looks almost too natural! Totally looks like you’ve been blessed with nicely-colored kissers. ;) And it lasts for long hours as well. Color us impressed!

4. Innisfree

Price Range: $$

One of the newer entries into Singapore - Innisfree has easily made itself one of the favorite Korean cosmetic brands in town. With their fresh shop ambience and rave-worthy products, it is no wonder.

However if we had to pick just one product to love, it’ll definitely be their Volcanic Pore Clay Mask!

Image Source: http://global.innisfree.co.kr

We were simply amazed at how wonderfully this product worked. The only slight qualm we might have is it isn’t the easiest product to apply - unlike your usual liquid masks, this one requires a good few minutes to apply properly.

However we can assure you that it is entirely worth it! After 15 minutes of having this miracle-worker on your skin, you will see why!

5. Too Cool For School

Price Range: $$

This brand does not look like your typical ‘girly’ Korean cosmetic brand - but this is precisely what people love about it. It has a whole quirky and cool look to it, which makes its name ‘Too Cool For School’ seem so apt.

While this brand has quite a number of hot products, the one we love best is the Egg Mousse Pack & Soap!

Image Source: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg

For silky smooth and clear skin - these products are definitely the way to go!

The best part about this is that it works for all parts of the body. So you can look fresh and stunning from any angle. Think of it much like deep cleansing mask for your entire body!
