Updated: Dec.11.2019 I did a blog post previously about my first eyebrow microblading experience with Mi Brows back in September (almost 8 months ago!) and received a ton of questions on IG about it. To answer a few of them now, yes, I’m happy with the results to this day, and no, I didn’t even go back for a microblading touch-up because my skin retains colour (unusually) well. So, on that topic, I was on Mi Brows’ Instagram one day, and found out about a new technique Sammi

[Update on Dec.11.2019] Mi Brows has since re-located to 17th Floor, 11 Luard Road, Southern Commercial Building, Wan Chai. Click here to read my most recent manual ombre brows experience with Sammi at her new shop. Considering that much of my morning angst comes from repeatedly screwing up my brows and having to re-do them, I can't believe I had never considered microblading before. It's a procedure similar to tattooing but with a much more natural result. Unlike tattooing,

I hadn't heard about the non-surgical face slimming massage until a Japanese (of course!) acquaintance introduced it to me one day over brunch. She showed me the before/after photos of her husband after he tried it himself, and the difference was so noticeable! Like, to the point that I actually thought he might have gone under the knife to shave off a bit of his jaw to achieve that result. So upon being urged to give it a try, I thought, why not? The place is right near iSQU

So given that excessive sweating occurs 1.4 seconds after stepping outside lately, it seems apt that summer cosmetics launches in HK appear to be geared towards pore-cinching and, in Neal's Yard Remedies' case, deodorant as well! On top of giving both products by the famous British beauty brand a whirl, I'm also in the process of trying out their newest line of Organic Superfood Blends, which, with a mere teaspoon a day, are meant to 'cleanse' you from the inside out and dram

So I've been receiving a lot of questions regarding my daily beauty routine, especially the tanning products that I use to retain my colour all year round. I've combined products that I've used for years as well as recent finds that I now most likely can't live without - and would love to share them with you guys. Here's my way of keeping dull, pale skin at bay even through my 9-6 job at the office every day - and these are my 100% honest opinions, no sponsoring involved! TRI

*Please excuse the terrible quality of the photos! They were all taken with my iPhone. If you're absolutely shitting yourself about taking the plunge and dyeing your hair like I was a few months before, this is the post to read for that extra boost of confidence! ;)* When the 'balayage' hair trend started dominating the beauty scene, I remember thinking that if ever I were to dye my hair, that's exactly how I'd want it to look. Balayage is a unique colouring technique that ca

As an avid coffee and red wine drinker, I always worry about long term stains on my teeth. I've used Crest White Strips a few times and they caused permanent sensitivity in my teeth, so I've been wary about using commercial whitening products ever since. This is where talk of The Smile Bar's safe and pain-free whitening service piqued my interest, and I went in to give the Double Whitening session a try. The entire spa-like experience was impeccable from beginning to end, and
