Do Some Good in the World With These Limited Edition Kiehl's Staples

Sep 13, 2016Aug 15, 2018

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in the human body? Yup, this means you’ve got to take real good care of it. Beyond skincare, you have to understand how different and unique your skin is in order to maintain that healthy epidermis. So, in an effort to solve local issues with great products, Kiehl’s is bringing a slice of its roots in NYC to the hands of its customers across the globe by introducing Kiehl’s Loves. Presenting a collection of limited-edition products, specialty items and in-store storytelling moments, Kiehl’s is celebrating the unique character of the local towns and cities it serves from all around the world.

Each limited-edition product is adorned with artwork that encapsulates Kiehl’s heritage as well as visual icons that are representative of each city’s local culture and DNA. Conceived in partnership with international design agency, Radio, the illustrations were inspired by design in its simplest form, from markings on the road signs to the emblems that embellish ancient temples – they discovered beauty at every turn. The smallest details helped to shape the creation of the limited-edition collection, serving as a memorable token for the global community of Kiehl’s to appreciate and celebrate.
The Kiehl’s Loves Singapore collection includes iconic products such as the Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner, Ultra Facial Cream, and Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream. Kiehl’s is also proud to present #LoveYourLocals, which is a new movement that aims to not only unite Singaporeans and show some love to the local communities, but to raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Foundation as well. When you purchase a limited-edition product, you can bring home the limited-edition recyclable tote bag at $3 and all the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Children’s Cancer Foundation.

It’s also not the first time Kiehl’s has given back to the community. Preceding the #LoveYourLocals campaign, Kiehl’s Singapore started the #UltraLove Charity Campaign to celebrate its 165th Anniversary, striving to amplify and maintain the company’s long-standing commitment to philanthropic work. In partnership with local artistes and celebrity “super-moms”, Kiehl’s presented limited-edition product staples in order to benefit the Children’s Cancer Foundation. Now, that’s admirable. So go ahead, get your hands on these special edition goodies and spread the love.
Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner, $58/250ml; Ultra Facial Cream, $48/50ml; and Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream, $48/50ml.
Kiehl’s Loves Singapore will be available from 1st October 2016.

Get Strong And Vibrant Nails With This 7-in-1 Nail Polish

Sep 12, 2016Aug 15, 2018

We love to flaunt our latest DIY manicures on Instagram, and with nail art trends in full force, chances are you’re probably paying close attention to your fingertips now more than ever before. Nail polish addicts would be well aware of the little imperfections that could mess up a new paint job. Splitting, breaking, and peeling are just some of the few things that can go wrong. We can eat clean and work out to get fit and strong, but for sturdy nail beds and tips that won’t split or break, sometimes that healthy diet and gym membership just won’t do.
Our nails have an absorbent nature that makes them susceptible to multiple external factors, all of which can ruin our canvases – and that’s definitely not good news for those who love to switch up their nail colours every other day. Nail polish is notorious for making nails dry and brittle, especially if you go too long without cutting your nails some slack. With that many problems that go hand in hand with the simple gratification of a manicure or pedicure, we have to be wary of what we put on our nails. Thankfully, Sally Hansen is here to save the day once again with their new Complete Salon Manicure – Keratin Strong.

Complete Salon Manicure’s new and improved keratin formula strengthens your nails and resist breaking and chipping. So while looking totally fab with any of our 29 available shades, you get up to 64% stronger nails; strong and beautiful nails inside and out! *Receive a FREE manicure kit (worth $10.50) when you purchase $35 worth of Sally Hansen products, including at least ONE Complete Salon Manicure bottle! Subject to retailer’s promotion mechanic. Terms and conditions apply: http://bit.ly/TNCsCSMFREEManicureKit #KeratinStrong #SallyCSM

Its new fortifying formula is packed with Keratin complex, producing a protective barrier over the nails as it revitalises the most fragile fingertips. With an all-new upgrade from its previous formula and a sleek brush design, the Complete Salon Manicure – Keratin Strong actually functions as both a base and a top coat. So, all you need are two thin coats to get that salon quality finish. Regular nail polish formulas can chip off in just a matter of hours, which is unfortunate for those who painstakingly worked on their manicures. However, this nail polish promises not to flake on you, so you won’t be tempted to peel that nail polish off and further damage your nails.

See and feel your nails get smoother and up to 64% stronger as your gel-shine colour stays fresh for up to 10 days. With this many vibrant shades to pick from and that many benefits packed in a single product, we’re seriously spoilt for choice! So, go on, find your colour and flaunt your strength.
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure, $13.90 each. Available at leading Watsons, Guardian and departmental stores in 29 shades: 21 permanent shades, 8 limited edition shades.
Receive a FREE manicure kit (worth $10.50) when you purchase $30 worth of Sally Hansen products, including at least ONE Complete Salon Manicure bottle! Subject to retailer’s promotion mechanic. Terms and conditions apply.

Matte Lipsticks That Won't Dry Your Lips Out

Sep 9, 2016Aug 15, 2018

Matte lipsticks are now a ubiquitous, chic lip formulation that’s more than just synonymous with Kylie Jenner. Unlike our usual lip glosses, cream lipsticks, and tinted lip balms, matte lipsticks are packed with high-intensity pigments that’ll stay put all day. However, most of the matte lipsticks in the market can often leave our lips feeling dry, settling into our lip lines as it starts getting flaky, marking the end of our love affair with matte lipsticks. But that shouldn’t put you off the hunt for matte lipsticks. Every so often, you’ll find a diamond in the rough – the glorious one that won’t wreak havoc on your lips. So, to help you avoid cracked, flaky lips, we’ve rounded up our favourite matte lipsticks that not only deliver some serious colour payoff, but feel comfortable on your lips too.

zoom_84e62fe8ac050203f34f4bcbcc9da2757febaa97_1449132710_color_20mother_20-_20dusty_20mauve_20pink

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

This liquid lipstick may be new in the market, but it’s already risen in the ranks to being one of the best matte lipsticks out there. Its rich and creamy formula glides over the lips with ease, but it doesn’t dry quickly, so you can easily fix up any mistakes you’ve made around your lip lines. It may go on like a buttery gloss but it dries to a true matte finish. Vitamin E and sunflower seed oil are a couple of the natural comfort-enhancing ingredients that you’ll find in this formula.

$31 each, available at Sephora

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

Lipstick application meets jumbo pencil crayon. Saturate your lips with a rich velvety matte finish that’s packed with pigments. Its formula is enriched with emollients that are combined with unique silicones to ensure longer-lasting, non-drying colour for hours on end, making them perfect for comfortable wear all day long. And although it may be a pain to sharpen these, we’re willing to put ourselves through the hassle – they make for perfect lipliner replacements, too.
$38 each, available at Sephora

Tarte Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint

Tarte’s Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint’s high-definition, saturated formula has a luxurious, velvety texture that’s designed to suit styles from the modern minimalist to the bold and dramatic. Its ergonomically slanted applicator wand makes it super easy to paint on this pigment – great for any self-proclaimed artist looking to create a lip masterpiece. While the formula feels moist and lightweight on the lips, its staying power isn’t the best, so be sure you carry your lip paint around with you.
$30 each, available at Sephora

Bourjois Rogue Edition Velvet Lipstick

The Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick has a surprising texture that feels kinda like a lip lacquer as it goes on a little water at first. But don’t worry, its consistency soon transforms to a beautiful, velvety finish that lasts for hours. Unlike most matte lipsticks, this one layers beautifully – it never goes patchy and it doesn’t make our lips crack, making post-meal touch ups a breeze.
$25 each, available at Zalora

Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipstick

Urban Decay’s Matte Revolution Lipstick’s soft, creamy formula goes on like dream. It has the feel of a balm, but it gives off smooth, pigmented colour that’s easy to apply without having to worry about any colour-bleeding. Some matte lipsticks fade unevenly, leaving an unsightly ring around your mouth by the fourth hour, but this one fades in uniform and it even leaves a pretty stain behind. The huge plus? It doesn’t accentuate dry patches on your lips.
$33 each, available at Sephora

Star Trek's U.S.S. Enterprise Is Now A Rocking Horse For Kids

Sep 9, 2016Aug 15, 2018

In what is quite possibly the most amazing children’s invention of all time (at least in geek terms), a custom Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Rocking Toy has been made by the GandGRockers Etsy store in San Diego California.
The rocker is modelled after the famed NCC-1701, and we’ve got to say, everything about the spaceship’s wicked design is totally on point, from the warp nacelles all the way down to the saucer.
It’s an absolutely perfect tool for your little kiddo to channel their inner Spock or Captain Kirk. Just think about it, they get to pretend warp driving around the galaxy, while nurturing a budding fandom for Star Trek at the same time! If that isn’t raising your child responsibly, we’re not sure what is.

Besides that, this rocker is great for showing off to your fellow trekkers. Because c’mon, who doesn’t love checking out a cool fanboy/girl toy every once in awhile? Also, since it’s constructed from unfinished wood, you can customise it however way you like! There’s also the option of paying for a pre-painted one.
Unfortunately, the rocker is only shipped within the United States and Canada. Still, that’s a small obstacle considering that it costs just $270 for beautiful, customised wood. Add to the equation the immeasurable amounts of trekker fun your kid will have, and you’ll forget that there was even a price to begin with.
Check out the Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Rocker at www.etsy.com.

You Have To See The Bag That Everyone Was Carrying At Fashion Week

Sep 9, 2016Aug 15, 2018

We bid our temporary goodbyes to the Spring/Summer 17 fashion shows at Stockholm Fashion Week last week. And from what we saw during our little Instagram stalking sesh of the super chic street styles that were prevalent throughout the week, it was clear that one bag predominantly stood out as a trendy “must have”. You may think that we’re exaggerating a little, but we kid you not; literally EVERYONE at fashion week was carrying this handbag. The super chic, boxy tote with a weighty belt-like sash and buckle across the front seemed to be a hit amongst the Nordic “cool girls” and we’d like to shamelessly give ourselves a self-invite to join the squad by snatching up one of these totes for ourselves.

That’s not to say that we’ll all look like photocopies of one another carrying the same purse – the variation of style and colour of Boyy totes we’ve seen on the many editors, bloggers and buyers on Instagram tells us that we’ll still have our individuality in check while shouldering what essentially is the same bag that everyone else is carrying. There’s a striking crocodile skin tote, a uber adorable one in patchwork fur, and our personal favourite; a slouchy sueded olive with a thick burgundy belt and dirty gold buckle. Iconic.
Boyy handbags, 800 USD – 7,000 USD. Available for pre-order at boyybag.com.

Here’s How To Check if Your Dropbox Password Was Stolen

Sep 9, 2016Aug 15, 2018

Made your Dropbox account before 2012? Well, you might want to take a look at this. According to Motherboard, hackers in mid-2012 stole over 68 million account details from the cloud storage platform. The tech magazine received the leaked database from the breach notification service Leakbase.
The hack was also confirmed in a blog post by Dropbox, which you can read here.
“If you signed up for Dropbox before mid-2012 and reused your password elsewhere, you should change it on those services. We recommend that you create strong, unique passwords, and enable two-step verification. Also, please be alert to spam or phishing because email addresses were included in the list,” the company wrote.
A Dropbox spokesperson told Motherboard that the company has not witnessed any evidence of malicious usage of these accounts.
Still, if you want to check whether your account details are safe, you can visit haveibeenpwned.com to find out. The website will fill you in on data that has been compromised by hackers.

For extra security, you can change your Dropbox password via this link. It’ll also be worthwhile enabling two-step verification while you’re at it. Better be safe than sorry we say.

Get Your Glow on With These Korean Shimmer Creams

Sep 9, 2016Aug 15, 2018

When it comes to innovative beauty products, Korea is constantly ahead of the curve. We can always trust our BB creams and handy cushion compacts to give us that radiant finish. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, there’s a new product to keep the dewy makeup trend going: the shimmer cream. While it’s relatively new in the market, shimmer creams are destined to take over the beauty industry. You’ll soon see Western brands giving the product their own take, since the no-makeup makeup look is still a popular go-to at the moment. So, what exactly are shimmer creams and how are they different to illuminating highlighters?
Shimmer creams are neither powdery nor or oily in finish. In fact, it’s a thin cream that moisturises and firms your skin to give you a healthy, hydrated glow. So, even if you stayed up all night binge-watching a Netflix series, you can still achieve that #iwokeuplikethis look with almost no makeup needed. However, shimmer creams aren’t just a quick makeup fix. Those that are currently on the market are silky to the touch and contain skin-boosting ingredients such as licorice and adenosine, making your skin healthier over time so you don’t always have to fake that glow. They provide a reflective effect on the skin’s surface to brighten up your face.
If you’re interested in trying out a shimmer cream, you can start by trying it out on your under eyes. Mix the cream with your current concealer to cancel out any signs of fatigue and hydrate your eye area at the same time. You can also apply it under your foundation or moisturiser, or blend it with them on areas you wish to highlight. The cream will make sure your foundation goes on smooth while those shimmering pearls in the formula will give you that healthy beam. It won’t replace the standard highlighter, but it’s definitely an alternative for those who prefer a less contoured and strobed look. So, get glowing with these luminous shimmer creams.

3CE Back To Baby Glow Beam

Approximately S$28, available at Style Nanda

Meet The Fragrance Millennials Need To Own

Sep 9, 2016Aug 15, 2018

Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke – a statement usually applicable to things in general. What we’re glad it’s not applicable to, however, is the iconic ck one fragrance that has captured the imagination of entire generations since its launch way back in 1994. Then, it started off with a minimalist and deliberately androgynous bottle design and a fresh and intentionally unisex scent; yet it’s undergone mini makeovers down through the years with various special editions of the ck one. While the bottle and scent varied subtly with each iteration, the essence of the ck one was never lost, just reinterpreted in different intriguing ways.

From left: ck one (1994), ck one Shock (2011), ck one Red Edition For Her (2014), ck one Red Edition For Him (2014), ck one Summer (2016)
It’s evident that each version has been a collector’s item; we’ve amassed quite a few of these bottles ourselves. But it’s this latest 2016 edition that has captured our hearts like no other ck one has yet – you’ll see what we mean when you see the bottle:

Each version of the ck one speaks to the generation of that time, and it’s never been as obvious as this time, with the ck one GOLD. Opulence is the theme here, with the recognisable bottle coated in a reflective gold that’s left “dripping” towards the bottom. You might have caught the reference to the Midas touch – causing everything you lay hands on to turn to gold – which we think is something that will resonate with the ambitious millennials of today who create success with their own hands; also, it’s simply too damn aesthetically-pleasing.
Like the bottle, the scent on the inside isn’t made to blend in; fig, jasmine and vetiver come together in an unusual layered mix that’s all at once fresh, floral and woody, to come across intriguing and confident. And yes, it’s unisex of course, because everyone deserves to smell so bold. Plus, how good will this look on your vanity table?

ck one GOLD Eau de Toilette, $88 for 100ml. Available at Sephora and major departmental stores. calvinkleinfragrances.com

Why The Apple Watch 2 Could Be Your New Exercise Buddy

Sep 8, 2016Aug 15, 2018

Amidst the excitement, and in some instances, horror, surrounding Apple’s launch of their new iPhone 7 series, there was a gadget that was mostly overshadowed by everything else – namely, the Apple Watch Series 2. That shouldn’t have been the case though. This beauty has got what it takes to be the best exercise watch in the world.
Here’s why.
While Apple’s second version of their first smartwatch looks like its predecessor at first glance, there have been a number of improvements that make getting it a worthwhile investment, especially if you love to exercise.
For instance, the watch is built for fitness junkies. It’s swim-proof with a water resistance of up to 50 metres, while there’s also the addition of a GPS chip. We cannot stress how much easier this makes it for runners who want to track their distances and map their routes without having to rely on their phone. It’s more efficient and less troublesome.
The Apple Series 2 also comes with a dual-core processor that is 50 percent faster than the original Apple watch. That means better graphics and twice the brightness. One downside of the Watch 2 is that it lacks GSM radio, so you can’t make calls, send texts, or receive app notifications by connecting to phone networks. You’ve got to rely on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi instead.

Apple Watch Nike+

The full Apple Watch Series 2 collection
Design-wise, the Apple Series 2 doesn’t disappoint. There’s a partnership with Hermès for a special edition, while there’s the collaboration with Nike for the Apple Nike+ that takes the fitness theme even further.
For instance, Nike’s Run Club app is built into the Apple Watch Nike +, so users can expect daily motivation through exercise reminders, training data that tells you your pace and heart rate, as well as alerts that’ll let you know when the weather is ideal for heading outside.
“Apple Watch is the ultimate device for a healthy life and we wanted to push it further to create the best smartwatch in the world for runners and athletes,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer. “Apple Watch Nike+ takes performance tracking to a whole new level and we can’t wait to bring it to the world’s largest community of runners.”
For Pokémon Go addicts, the Apple Watch Series 2 will offer info such as the distance to the next PokéStop, as well as stats like calories burned.
The Apple Watch Series 2 is available for pre-order this Friday (9 September). Visit Apple’s official website at www.apple.com/sg.

Smokey Grey Ombré: The New Hair Trend To Try

Sep 8, 2016Aug 15, 2018

There seems to be a new hair trend cropping up every other day, with plenty of #hairgoals spotted and lusted over on Instagram. However, there’s one reigning hair trend that’s combining two of the hottest Fall hues, smokey lilac and grey, to create smokey grey ombré hair. This fresh shade features either a subtle or defined grey fade that begins with dark roots. Think Elsa from Frozen gone goth.

Should I? 🤔🤔 #greyombrehair

A photo posted by Ro 🌸 (@ro_sauce) on May 17, 2016 at 10:40am PDT

This new coloured look is one that’s pretty and edgy in equal measure. The huge bonus? It complements literally every skin tone in the spectrum. Doesn’t matter what your hair texture is, too. It’ll look great on those with straight, curly, frizzy, or sleek hair. And thanks to its ombré style, it has a relaxed and easy-to-wear effect. So, if you’re feeling a little bored of your current hair situation and seek some hair-spiration, then this new trend is here in the nick of time.

Needless to say, if your hair is naturally dark, this look will be a little easier to achieve. So, if you’ve got lighter coloured hair, you’ll have to darken up your base before you start the process. The smokey grey ombré look is all about getting that platinum blonde hair and dyeing the lightest strands grey. You can also choose to put in as little or as many highlights as you please, which depends on how much grey you’d like to see in your hair. This subtle and frosty hair dye can be quite harsh on your strands, so remember to use a hair-strengthening treatment that will help protect your hair against too much damage.

‘Super Mario’ Bounces Onto The Apple Store Bandwagon

Sep 8, 2016Aug 15, 2018

It’s official. Nintendo’s developing a Super Mario mobile phone game, and it’ll be arriving exclusively on the iOS platform.
The game was unveiled by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo marketing manager Bill Trinen at Apple’s iPhone 7 event on Wednesday (Sept 8), and it’ll be the first time ever that Nintendo is going mobile.

Titled ‘Super Mario Run’, the game will consist of three modes. Firstly, there’s the traditional 2D mode, where players can collect as many points as possible, by running and jumping to reach the flagpole at the end of the level. The controls are extremely simple. Mario auto-runs, and all you’ve got to do is tap on your phone screen to make him jump.
The second mode is a “Toad Tally” mode where players can lock horns against each other, while a third mode allows you to construct your own “Mushroom Kingdom” with the coins you’ve collected.
“We have created Super Mario Run to be perfect for playing on your iPhone,” said Mr Miyamoto.
“Super Mario has evolved whenever he has encountered a new platform, and for the first time ever, players will be able to enjoy a full-fledged Super Mario game with just one hand, giving them the freedom to play while riding the subway or my favorite, eating a hamburger,” he added.

Whether this leads to the insane level of popularity that Pokémon Go enjoyed remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: it’s definitely a great move on Nintendo’s part to introduce a classic game to a new generation of gamers.
‘Super Mario Run’ will be released in December later this year. While there’s no word as to how much it’ll cost to play it yet, it’ll be available in over 100 countries in nine languages.
Android users have no reason to be upset though. They just need to be a little more patient. “We do intend to release the game on Android devices at some point in the future,” a Nintendo spokesperson told Kotaku.
