This month’s theme is clearly Halloween-inspired and came with a cute red lace print pag, with even a bat zipper! Overall I really liked this month’s bag.

My Ipsy Glam Bag: September 2017

In this post, I provide a not-too complicated guide on how to pick a good one. I also share 2 products I found with the same ingredients list!
Asia Beauty Haul Part 1: Skincare
I bought 110 sheet masks, and a whole bunch of other things. If you’ve ever wondered how Asian cult beauty favourites perform, you’ve come to the right place. This is my skincare haul from my Asia trip this year, with swatches and mini reviews.
Dehydration could be behind your oily skin.
If you’re like me, you use oil-free products to keep your face oil-free. But sometimes, you get oily anyway. Your face could even feel tight or dry after using certain things. The summer weather makes us try to dry out the skin, but dehydration could be the source of your over-oil production.
