RetinAl not retinOl, does anyone have any brands they love? Thinking of starting at age 35 (very late I know!) and I’ve read some good reviews on medik8 (expensive) and geek & gorgeous (not sure if the ones on Shopee are authentic but don’t know where else I can get it from). Please share the products you love! ❤️
hi there! im looking to get a new foundation and concealer for my dehydrated skin (like, i can actually see my forehead skin peeling) that also gets kind of oily throughout the day. for context, i dont use makeup often, only for dates. i was previously using the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation, but unfortunately got the wrong shade, and i also found it a little too cakey for my liking. im hoping to go for a more dewy, skin-like finish this time, so id love some recommendations!
as for my skin concerns, i have quite a lot of blackheads but not much acne, so i dont think i need a ton of coverage(?). however, i do have really dark circles, so im also looking for a concealer that can cover those well. i was previously using NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer but i also got the wrong shade as well, together with the Tarte peach colour corrector. im not sure if it was because of the wrong shade or my application technique, but they didn't cover my dark circles very well. it just looked grey instead..
also, my foundation tends to get wiped off pretty easily, so if anyone has recommendations for a good setting powder that can help with this, id love to hear them too! thanks!! :D
Hi girls, I'm 22 in uni and have no clue where or how to start with makeup 🥲 I'm starting to get FOMO because I see baddies left and right and I feel like I'm behind, kind of sick of looking "nerdy" and want to glow upp.
I have combination, acne-prone and textured skin, so I've always been scared of using makeup out of fear it might make my skin worse or it looks bad/cakey.
What products do you girls recommend for a beginner with this skin type? I have no clue where to begin so idk if this is the right place but would also love to make a friend who could teach me!
I’ve been to a number of aesthetic clinics around Singapore and keep running into the same approach, filler or injectables get suggested quite early in the consultation.
I’m hoping to find somewhere that works the other way round. Ideally a place that starts by properly assessing the skin (barrier health, pigmentation, collagen quality) and focuses on strengthening the foundation first before recommending any volume.
Has anyone had experience with a doctor-led clinic here that takes a more restrained approach and doesn’t push unnecessary treatments?
I’m mainly looking into under-eye / dark circle options and skin boosters. I’m not interested in filler at this stage.
For reference: early 30s, Asian skin, some pigmentation and mild under-eye hollowness. Prefer results that still look natural.
Would appreciate any honest feedback from people who’ve been through similar searches in Singapore.
ok so no matter what I do, my hair is perma-frizzy and it’s driving me actually insane.
i permed my hair 2 months ago and here’s the routine:
fyi: hair masks feels like conditioner to me (though i may be wrong here)
what am I doing wrong?? is the perming damage catching up to me or is my technique or routine? drop your holy grail anti-frizz hacks/products below pls,
I’ve visited quite a few aesthetic clinics in Singapore and noticed the same pattern, most of them recommend filler or other injectables almost immediately.
What I’m looking for is the opposite. I want a clinic that actually assesses the skin first: barrier function, pigmentation, collagen quality, etc. Ideally one that says “let’s improve the foundation before we add anything.”
Has anyone here been to a doctor-led clinic in Singapore that takes this kind of restrained, skin-first approach and doesn’t hard-sell treatments?
I’m particularly interested in under-eye / dark circle protocols and skin boosters. I specifically don’t want filler.
For context: I’m in my 30s with Asian skin, dealing with some pigmentation and mild under-eye hollowness. I want results that still look natural, not overdone.
Would really appreciate any honest experiences (good or bad) from people who’ve been through this in Singapore.
Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations for a good dermatologist in Singapore for acne, milia, and overall skin texture. Has anyone had a good experience with a dermatologist you’d recommend?
I’ve also heard about the National Skin Centre, but I’m not sure about the consultation/treatment costs for foreigners. Would appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks!
To add, can anyone recommend a brand and I'll check it it has my shade? I'm aiming for a dewy look
Hi ladies! I have recently moved to Singapore and have been having a really hard time finding proper workwear. I feel like almost nowhere sells formal blazers. Found some interesting pieces in Zara but they feel more like something you'd wear at a party than at work.
Any advice on where I can look?
I’m currently using Lancôme Miracle and I love the scent its soft, feminine, and not too overpowering.
Now I want to get another perfume, but I’m looking for something not fruity, not sweet, more soft/elegant/clean but still long lasting because when using lancome, my laundry basket smells like one.
Any recommendations?
Hi girlies! I've been dealing with thinning hair and hair loss, especially with the hotter weather these days I've noticed its getting worse because my scalp will get oily and abit itchy at times. I've read that rosemary oil helps with hair growth. Just wanted to know if anyone has a good brand to recommend? And if there are any other products besides rosemary oil that helps with hair growth? Big thanks to all in advance!
I want to do arm lipo. But there is unfortunately not much reviews online or celebrity endorsed clinics. I have seen some google reviews but I wanted to try my luck here.
I'm planning to do arm lipo. And I would prefer my doctor to be a woman during the surgery.
Has anyone tried any clinics who does liposuction? How was the results? How was the surgery experience? Can you share a before and after photos? Thanks in advance!
Hi all! I came to sg for vacation and wanted to buy a few skincare products and make up. So far ive been to sephora and mustafa but none where i can find a decent collection. Sephora 0 discounts and mustafa limited collection on skincare.
Would appreciate it if someone can guide places where you can find a combination of both in budget ?
So far ive just bought a hair mask, toner pads and retinal.
Plus any products you swear by could be for hair or beauty tools please do recommend i love to buy kooky things and trying out cutesy stuff which is why i go broke but please do recommend! :D
Thankyou all :)
Heyaa, any recs for JB-based dentists? I need to get my dental bridge replaced soon...
i used to buy sets from sweetcare but they dont do them anymore. any recommendations?
Hihi I have combo skin,
I don’t like the heavy feel of foundation so I am looking for medium coverage skin tint or Bb cream, with SPF (30 and above).
Would not consider luxury options like SKII…
Does anyone have a good recommendation?
I really love the glazing milk and am willing to shell out $$$$ for it... but these days with beauty scams and all... where can I find authentic products from them?
hello! previously i was asking if anyone has gone to aura bangkok~ while researching, i found about bfill clinic in bangkok!
i did see some influencers talk about it even though they were not sponsored.
but mostly the sponsored posts were from thailand influencers.
was wondering if anyone has been to there? is it okay?
My clinic didn't give me any healing cream or ointment after laser. It is still raw red after 3 days and I am abit worried. What medical grade ointment or cream would you recommend to apply to prevent scar? Thanks!
