Current favourite: Laline Girls Perfume Oil


I first got to know of this brand through my colleague and I wanted to get the Laline Girls Perfume Oil however the brand suddenly pulled out of the Singapore market and ... it's not available in physical stores anymore. :( The one reason why I wanted it so much was because this perfume oil smells like a mix of Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers G Perfume and ice cream soda! Every single time my colleague rolled this on, I went "wah smells like ice cream soda again!!".

That's correct. I hate smelling like chocolate but I was dying to smell like ice cream soda.

So for my birthday, my colleague actually searched through eBay to get one for me. Thank you so much!!!! It has now become a staple and I must have it on my work desk. It's tiny and compact - perfect for any type of bags/clutches.

According to the website, it has "vanilla sandalwood fragrance with a touch of jasmine and rose notes". To be really frank, I don't smell the jasmine and rose at all. But still smells damn nice and addictive. Sometimes I would apply too much and get a headache. Serves me right lor.

Have a great weekend guys! 
Such an abrupt ending lol. Prata time!

Current Favourite: LUSH Parsley Porridge Soap

When I first received the LUSH Parsley Porridge Soap from Eve, I gave a very rude eeyer-what-is-this look. Even though it was all wrapped up in the classic LUSH paper packaging, I could still see a hint of green. Also, it smelled strongly of herbs. Naturally, my face contorted because in my very narrow-minded mind, soap bars were supposed to smell either of fruits or of flowers.

Sorry, Eve, I'm a retard.

The LUSH Parsley Porridge Soap is now a favourite! It looks very unattractive - dirty green slab of soap with brown spots - and not everyone will get used to the smell. But wow, it's such a refreshing soap to use after a long day at work, and especially so after a run!

This soap contains fresh parsley, finely ground oatmeal, thyme, tea tree oil and aloe gel - great for those who have back acne as well!

It's not very easy to sud up, but it's a minor flaw because after rinsing, my skin feels soothed, refreshed and very moisturised. Some soap bars strip off the moisture and give you that squeaky clean sensation (I really hate that feeling) but this one will not. The best thing is the LUSH Parsley Porridge Soap has tea tree in it and tea tree is one of my holy grail skincare ingredients. Sometimes after running, I will soak my exercise clothes in a water+tea tree oil combination. That's basically saying that if a product contains tea tree, I will be naturally biased.

One more thing - my bathroom smells of herb garden after I shower with this soap. So nice! I don't think my siblings will love the smell though haha,

Thanks Eve for this amazing soap! I definitely will go back to LUSH to get more!
