 I've been a long time user of the bio-oil product range. If there's one brand in an testify about their efficacy, then bio-oil tops my list. I've been using the oil for more than 15 years and even recommending it to friends and family who are also impressed about how well it worked. I wanted to see how good the bio-oil lotion is. The lotion contains Hyaluronic acid, shea oil, rosehip oil and vitamin E. These ingredients are very good for the skin. The lotion feels very smooth, silky and soft when applied to the skin. It gives this feathery lightness and smoothness that feels so suave and it keeps your skin both moisturised and glowing.  This lotion is very suitable for dry skin. So if you have issues with dryness, then this lotion is the ideal skincare for hydration. 

 I have a strict routine on exfoliating at least once every week. This morning I decided to do a diy sugar scrub. I did a face scrub with no essential oil. It included sugar, green tea, baking powder and water. All I did was mix them all with water. I wanted to see how it felt without adding any essential oil. Surprisingly after washing the sugar off, it felt as good as a professionally prepared scrub. I was so impressed that I had to use it again to do a total body, neck to feet scrub. Now I realised you could still do a scrub without using any oil and it will turn out as nice. You can give it a try. But ensure you scrub gently because the sugar feels more abrasive without oil.  You can let us know about your experience using an oil free sugar scrub.

Bio-oil is one of my favourite oil. I have been using it for years since my university days. This moisturising oil is formulated to hydrate the skin, clear off stretch mark, sunburn , acne, scars, uneven skin tone, aging  and dehydrated skin. It is so light and it gets absorbed easily into the skin and it is non greasy.  Bio oil is one product I can authoritatively recommended for any one who is suffering from the above mentioned skin issues.   I used to have uneven complexion and dark knuckles way back. I tried bio-oil and it worked. The  dark knuckles was from using different products randomly when I was still a teen. A lot of these products had hydroquinone which discoloured my skin . So I can say this product is a very suitable for damaged skin from skin bleaching . It can help to blend and repair the damage from  chemicals. It's an effective remedy for stretch marks. I have been lucky not to have much stretch marks but due to the nature of the skin,...

One of my favourite perfume brands is Chanel. I have a few bottles of Chanel i collect for fun. The  Chanel Chance Eau Tendre   exudes a captivating scent that lingers in the air which reminds me of blooming flowers and freshly picked citrus fruits. It has sweet and floral notes mixed together, creating an intoxicating feeling. The fragrance is very feminine and soft. With hints of grapefruit, lemon, and jasmine, this fragrance evokes memories of elegant moments and fresh air. The sweet smell of Chanel Chance is one that is timeless and lasts long all over me whenever I'm wearing it and I get a lot of compliments from people asking what I'm wearing. I like how heady it smells, and I get the urge to find a lemony citrus drink. That's how intoxicating the Chanel  Chance  makes me feel. This is one fragrance I think every lady should try out.  Have you tried the  the Chanel Chance Eau Tendre ? Let me know what you think about the fragrance. Love ❤️, Silver Toj...

I first came across The Ordinary product 2 years ago randomly on YouTube. Recently, I had a skin consultation at Skin Laundry in Marina. The Beautician recommended some Skin Laundry products. After using the products, I noticed an instant improvement on my skin. The products were super pricey, so I went online trying to find a good brand which was cost effective. My search led me to The Ordinary. I wanted something with Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and Retinol, which were some of the ingredients in the Skin Laundry products. I started with The Ordinary toner , Hyaluronic acid , Retinol, Salicylic acid , Lactic acid and  Vitamin C . So far, the products have been working well except the Lactic acid i had to discontinue because the top of my nose itches me whenever I use it. Overall, I would recommend the brand. Their products are effective and super affordable. You can  The Ordinary products  here.

   There are countless brands of makeup brushes out there. Picking the best that guarantees your makeup application goes smoothly is of utmost importance. Some of us get carried away by the brand name because of its longstanding reputation. Like I tell people, don't always concentrate on the brand names. What more important is the materials the product is made of. Even a less known or inexpensive brand may have turn out better to suit your needs.  So the question is, how do I know which makeup brush is best for me? Which of these should I purchase? Generally, there are two types of makeup brushes. Natural and synthetic makeup brushes. One may have a preference for the natural or synthetic type. I like to use both alternatively because they work differently depending on which makeup products I am applying on my skin.
