The Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum did an impressive job at lightening my hyperpigmentation and I’m pretty amazed!

I’m not sure how I came about the Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum. It’s not a brand I’m familiar with, nor an ingredient I’m used to using.

Yet, one day while browsing Worthee Cosmetics, I conveniently added it to my shopping basket, ordered it, and promptly forgot about it.

Until now.

I took it out to use, but there was something about it that didn’t sit well with me, so it was a product I wasn’t very regular with. And then, we went into lockdown, and I went on a mission to use up my skincare.

And when I ran out of my most recent Vitamin C serum, I decided to use the Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum up, before hopping along to a new Vitamin C serum.

Well, let’s just say that I’m pretty impressed by this nondescript little bottle! 😀

I pick the Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Cologne for days when I want to smell shower-fresh

Paris B 2 Comments

I shared some time last year some thoughts on fragrances and how your preferences might change over the years, as your preferences and lifestyle changes. Mine has.

But there’s one scent that I discovered via a sample a little while ago, and fell in love with, that I still love today.

That scent is the Jo Malone Amber & Lavender cologne.

When I shared it on Instagram, a few people asked me how it smelled, and I realised then, that I had not shared about it on the blog. It helps when I do, because I can then direct people to read about it haha! 😛

My search for a cordless vacuum finally ended when I found the Karcher VC4i Cordless Vacuum

Paris B 1 Comment

I shared about my purchase of the Karcher VC4i Cordless Vacuum on Instagram a month or so ago, and promised a proper review after using it. Here it is, finally! It’s taken me a while, as I wanted to use it properly and thoroughly, so I could reliably tell you what I think of it, and if it’s worth a purchase.

Like many people, when thoughts turned to the purchase of a cordless vacuum cleaner, I was immediately drawn to the Dyson. You must admit that they have marketed themselves well, showcasing a sleek design and a seemingly ‘must-have’ technology.

But like many, I balked. The pricetag was too high for me to justify. So, I kept to my corded handheld vacuum, and told myself I’d wait for a good deal to come by.

When we had our MCO (lockdown), I spent more time than normal at home, and it was then I realised just how dusty it can be, and how much hair my dog sheds. Goodness me! Let me warn you about beagles! 😛

So, when I found myself lugging my corded vacuum cleaner out every other day, my thoughts once again turned to getting a cordless vacuum. I ran a quick poll on Instagram, but it wasn’t much help. The choices were endless, ranging from very affordably priced cordless vacuum cleaners from China that we could get on Shopee or Lazada, to naturally, the Dyson. Everyone who said they’d bought the Dyson told me they didn’t regret it.

While I was ready to spring for the Dyson, I wasn’t sure if I should go for the V10 or newer V11 version. As I dithered, a friend linked me to the Karcher VC4i and said, here’s something else to consider!

So I did, and I dug around and did my research, and eventually, I picked the Karcher VC4i Cordless Vacuum. Here’s why 🙂

The lightweight Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel is very affordable and comfortable on skin

Paris B 1 Comment

I remember the fuss we all made over the Melano CC Anti-Spot Essence when I first wrote about it. It wasn’t available then, but became available locally not long after. As much as I’d like to take credit for that, I’m sure it wasn’t me who did it haha!

Since arriving on our shores, there have been more products added to the Melano CC brand, and I was offered the opportunity to try the Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel.

Of course, I said yes 😛 I love anything with Vitamin C remember?
