Makeup Remover

Getting your clean on with the affordable Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm

September 19, 2023 Paris B Leave a Comment

beauty of Joseon radiance cleansing balm

I seem to have been talking about cleansing balms before they became a mainstream product, which tells you how long I’ve been around, and how great it is that we now have so many options available to us! I even have a whole Cleansing Balm repository (which I haven’t kept as updated as I should!)

The Korean brands were quite quick to jump on the cleansing balm bandwagon, which underscores their focus on proper cleansing via double cleansing, and how quick they are to pivot to a new formula/trend.

When I bought the famed Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun sunscreen, I put a few things into my cart along with it, and one of it was the Radiance Cleansing Balm. I still double-cleanse daily, and I run through my balm cleansers like water!

What’s so bad about makeup cleansing wipes? Why shouldn’t I use them if they’re so convenient?

February 4, 2020 Paris B 8 Comments

“I use cleansing wipes to remove my makeup”

Tell this to most skincare enthusiasts, and what you’d be greeted with is an exaggerated gasp of breath, and wide-eyed horror.

“No, you don’t!” They’d exclaim in disbelief.

are cleansing wipes bad for skin

What started out as a convenient skincare product is now one of the most villified beauty products in the market. Every beauty and skincare guru worth their salt is condemning it, left, right and center. Every YouTube personality who is caught using one, is shunned and talked about in hushed tones of disgust.

But why and how did this happen? Why are makeup cleansing wipes so bad for our skin, and are they? Should we not use them at all?

When I travel I make sure that these Biore Makeup Remover Wipes go with me!

October 10, 2019 Paris B 22 Comments

Let me say first, that I’m not personally a fan of using cleansing wipes as a facial cleanser. I know they exist, and I know it is popular, because it is convenient. But I avoid it because it firstly, isn’t a proper cleanse, and secondly, it doesn’t biodegrade, so it plays merry hell with the environment.

But sometimes, needs must, as they say. Sometimes, it’s a necessary evil.

biore cleansing oil in cotton makeup remover wipes

About 2 months ago, I went on a short holiday and flew a budget airline. To avoid unnecessary additional costs, we opted for just carry on luggage, so I had to strip my packing down to the bare minimum.

Being the skincare buff that I am, my skincare pouch usually takes up the most space and weight in my luggage, so I had to pare it down. Instead of bringing along liquids, I thought I’d try something different. I went and hunted in the pharmacy for handy products I could use in place of a makeup remover, and I stumbled on the Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Makeup Remover Wipes.

I double cleanse daily, so I had to see if the Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse holds up to scrutiny

October 3, 2019 Paris B 7 Comments

It’s no secret that I am quite a fan of most Pixi Beauty skincare products. They are generally fairly affordable, and effective. That’s pretty much what we seek in most skincare don’t we?

pixi caroline hirons double cleanse

And there is one specific Pixi product I get asked about a lot – the Pixi Double Cleanse, created with the popular skincare guru Caroline Hirons. There has been much I’ve learned from Ms. Hirons (and some that I disagree with) but if there’s one thing I can agree on, it’s the importance of a double cleanse.

I’d talked about double cleansing way back when I started this blog in 2007. It was a cleansing concept I’d picked up from using Japanese skincare, and it’s stuck with me since. People used to roll their eyes at me back in the day, because it seems like so much work; but now, it’s become an established norm, and touted by big names in skincare. So I’m now feeling somewhat vindicated for being a pioneer in this area 😛

The Pixi Double Cleanse gets a lot of raves, so naturally, I had to see what the hype was about.

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

We just started retailing our dog treats @quandogtreats at our first offline outpost! We’re available exclusively at Lex’s Patio Pantry @lexpatiopantry, a brand new cosy spot in the heart of Bangsar. 

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.

P/s yes I also need a haircut - badly 😅
