Haze? No Worries, Still Look Gorgeous!

안녕하세요! Everyone is in brighter moods right now, because the haze seems to have subsided here on our tropical island Singapore! :D

However some news articles have mentioned that with a change of wind, the haze might be back to plague Singapore once again. :( So we, beauty-lovers, must be vigilant!

Here are some super awesome products that will help you a lot in tiding through another hazy ordeal.

1. Innisfree Water Glow Cushion

Price Range: $$

Despite being still relatively new in the BB Cushion field, this product has earned its rightful name as one of the best BB Cushions in the market. The key part of this product is that it is really hydrating without giving off an oily sheen.

So you can be sure to still look radiant and keep your skin moisturised through the dry hazy period.

Another plus point is that this product comes in 3 lovely shades that allows more people to appreciate it!

2. LANEIGE Two Tone Lip Bar

Price Range: $$

Everyone who loves cosmetics would know this product. The unique combination of 2 complementing shades create an uber natural lip color.

But the real thing we love is how despite the strong and long-lasting colors, the product thoroughly hydrates your lips. Letting your kissers not only look stunning, but also healthy and dewy. Much needed for the hazy period!

10 super gorgeous shades… MUST.HAVE.ALL!!!

3. Sulwhasoo Hydro-aid Moisturizing Lifting UV Protection Cream

Price Range: $$$

This high-end range of Korean cosmetic products is indeed worth every penny spent. With their excellent ingredients and high quality, we’re always ready to be wowed by their products.

Their Hydro-Aid is easily one of our favourites and is super apt to combat the haze! We especially love the UV Protection Cream.

Some people think that because the Sun seems more covered up, UV protection isn’t so important anymore… False! Your skin still needs its dose of UV protection regardless.

This product is awesome that it combines both UV protection and a hydro-flood into your skin to keep it thoroughly moisturized so that the haze won’t strip away your radiance!

4. Etude House Moistfull Collagen Mask

Price Range: $$

Because of the haze, your skin has to endure a harsh environment - and the skin on your face is more delicate than other areas of your body. So help it along with a regular facial mask sheet!

This one from Etude House is excellent in dousing the skin with much needed moisture and collagen, plus locks it in as well. We love how the skin does not feel sticky after using the product - so it’s really great for use in the morning before your makeup routine or at night before catching some winks.

5. Milbon's Liscio Atenje Heat Care Shampoo & Treatment Pack

Price Range: $$

Through all the moisturizing your visage, don’t forget about your face’s frame. ;)

Your hair also goes through its share of harshness during the hazy period and if not taken care of - split ends occur, drying scalps can cause dandruff and maybe even hair loss in future.

Our previous hair model Gera is simply in love with this product which was recommended by DuSol Beauty’s hair stylist Sia! Don’t be deceived by the name “heatcare”, this product is able to take care of tresses through harsh surroundings.

You can grab your own set here at DuSol Beauty’s own online store!

It’s quite a bummer to hear that the haze might return - but at least we will be more prepared for it, beauty-wise! ;)

Stay gorgeous, everyone!

Harley Quinn Make-up & Hairstyle For Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner! Adorning make-up and hairstyle of Harley Quinn from the Suicide Squad is a perfect way to appear for Halloween party. Some beauty vloggers have attempted to come up with their own ways of doing this, and here are some!

1. Harley Quinn inspired makeup by SSIN

 Apply foundation and concealer thoroughly for matt and pale complexion.

Ready-To-Wear Fall Makeup

With changing seasons (in most parts of the world, at least), many makeup brands are churning out colors like burgundy, plum and dark rose shades for fall, which means that it could be the perfect opportunity for you to switch up your makeup looks.

Look 1- Shadow Hunters

With twinkling eyes and dark red lips, be prepared to charm everyone in the most mysterious way.

Step 1:

To emphasise a smooth base, use a foundation that gives a polished sheen, which has taken over the matte base to be the ‘it-look’ of this season.

Cover spots and dark circles with a concealers and pat it with a sponge brush to ensure it fully blends with the skin.

Highlight the cheekbones by applying a coral color with wide sweeping, rounded strokes

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

Image Source: http://onehallyu.com

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.

Find your nearest VDL store here.

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!

Korean Wedding Hair And Makeup

Hotels, decorations, food, bridesmaids and groomsmen…there is a seemingly never-ending list of things to do and worry about. And at the top of that list is one that is probably a huge concern to brides (and probably grooms) - looking your best (literally) during your big day. To ease the worrying about how your hair and makeup will turn out, here are some looks created by Korean hairstylists and makeup artistes for you to consider:

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

Image Source: www.westfield.com.au

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! ;)

Find your nearest Missha store here or here.

3. Etude House

Image Source: www.mooka.my

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.

Image Source: www.ebay.com

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!

Find your nearest Etude House store here.

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!

Find your nearest Innisfree shop here.

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!
