Products that don’t get enough use: . ✨#urbandecay Naked 3. I’m not getting enough use out of this because of how it looks in my lid. It looks amazing in pan but is more of an everyday palette. . 🌱#innisfree Mineral Highlighter in Cotton Candy and Mineral Makeup Base in Purple. A very subtle highlight that goes on a little white casty. Blends well but I have mostly been trying to blind NASA. I’ve maybe only gotten a couple of uses from it. The base is great but it has definitely been awhile since I’ve used it as I have been using foundations in the right shade. It was a big part of my makeup when I was using Laneige cushions because their shades were just too yellow on me and I’d look like I had jaundice. It really brightens the complexion. . ✨#Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal. I loved it for awhile then forgot about it in the recent months after slipping it into my acrylic organiser. Really need to get back to it; it gives an amazing glow on its own and under foundation. . 🌱#colourpop Super Shock Highlighter in Perilune. IT IS GREEN. Need I say more? It’s a good highlighter but I reach a lot more for Over the Moon. . ✨#notecosmetics Terracotta Blusher in Sugar Sense. It is very pigmented and a little too dark for me. I have to use an incredibly light hand which I do not possess just to get a reasonable amount of this on the cheeks. BRB, training my feather light hand. . 🌱#catrice Sun Glow Matte Bronzer in Deep Bronze. I am once again too fair for this. I reach more for the Rimmel Natural Bronzer that I own in Sun Bronze. At the moment, I am obsessed with Korean contour powders and the bronzer in my NARS blush palette so that too has taken a backseat. . ✨#seraphinebotanicals Goji + Galaxy. I really wanted to love this palette so much, it was beautiful when I saw it online. Somewhat dried out on application especially Crystalline. We know the story. Now? It’s dried even further which is so disappointing, including Andromeda. Going to get whatever use I can out of this before trashing it. I had been looking forward to panning it when I first ordered. . #scyriusreviews (at Singapore)

Dr Althea Cica Skin Calming Pad *gifted Received these toner pads from @dr.althea_sg and been using them for about 3 weeks now. I was originally a lil bummed to see the size of the pads - they’re really small and my face is pretty long and big; and I thought “oh boy how many will I need each time?!” But I was actually pretty surprised at how hydrating and soothing each pad is. It’s not dripping at all but my skin is so soothed after, I sometimes end up with a big pause in my routine because I’m so comfortable 😂 There’s 65 pads per tub and they come with a generous amount of essence. The tub is pretty sturdy (read: no leaks 🥳) and compact compared to some bulky pads so I’ve been keeping them on my table and reaching for them. The pads are double sided - embossed for exfoliation and smooth side for toning. It contains 85% Cica extract and you can see just how much my redness comes down in 1 use. The pads have a slightly herbaceous scent from their ingredients which I really enjoy 🌱 Some key ingredients are EOs (grapefruit, tea tree, lemon, rosemary), ceramides, green tea and HA for hydration, soothing and barrier healing. I totally recommend doing a DIY mask so your skin can absorb as much as possible, or using up the excess essence on your neck and chest because these pads are 💯 They’re going for $31 on @shopee_sg right now but I’m dropping this now hoping they can be added to cart in time for the 3.3 sales! #scyriusreviews #dralthea #draltheasingapore #draltheasg (at Singapore City Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSri0KpA-L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hits & Misses from my @lookfantastic Advent! 🎁 Can we talk about the full sized goodies, and 2 of my favourites in deluxe samples? The scalp scrub wasn’t even a surprise because it couldn’t fit in the drawer properly 😂 Swipe for the misses. It felt like DE got stingy with that sample, the single eye mask was a boring unboxing, the @westbarnco Spoolie is missing but the LF team continues to ignore me, and while I was crazy crazy excited for the @demicandle, it was sooo small and damaged! It smells amazing but wouldn’t make a good display piece with that underboob chunk missing. That really was my biggest letdown. While the LF advent is always a nice one, the CS continues to be really bad, and it’s always tough to get help for damaged items. The only advent that didn’t have a damaged / missing product was last year’s. The value works out though so I’ve continued to get it every year, though the price has climbed steadily every year. #scyriusreviews (at Singapore City Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmomSr-rSV_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve actually accumulated enough to create a series featuring empties from each step😂 The format differs from my usual as I’m reposting some of them from my Lemon8. 
While I favour balms and micellaire water, I do try out cleansing oils at times. I generally prefer the rich feeling of a balm and refreshing feeling of cleansing waters compared to the runny texture of most oils. 
✨Empties✨ 
Odacité Blue Aura Cleansing Water💦 
I felt that this stung around my eyes but loved how refreshing my skin felt after. My skin also looked radiant and glowy, and it does a good job as a first cleanse. I wouldn’t repurchase it however, because I prefer cleansing waters I can use on my eyes and I could definitely get the Bioderma Sensibio for the price. 
This isn’t readily available in Singapore but you can pick it up on their site if you’d like to try. I forwarded mine from US with Ezbuy ezship service! 
Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm🍑 
This was a real joy and I’ve been really tempted to repurchase though I’ve held back because I have other balms to try in my stash. I may actually have a backup too 🙈 It melts easily into a beautiful rich oil that melts off waterproof makeup so easily without irritating my eyes, and emulsifies into a milky cleanser easily. It has papain for gentle exfoliation, and my skin feels so nourished yet refreshed at the end of each use. Despite the papain, I’ve never noticed my skin getting irritated even with nightly use.

BOJ Relief Sun Cream🌾 I’ve been reaching for this everyday since getting it from @stylevana_sv and if you’ve not tried it, think of it as a blend between a gel and lotion sun cream. It’s super lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast. It does leave a dewy glow and a slightly moist layer which I usually blot away. It doesn’t pill upon reapplication, and actually feels hydrating and soothing to reapply which serves as an incentive (I hate reapplying). If you’re worried about the protection, it’s a chemical sunscreen that provides both UVA and UVB protection. The sunscreen also boasts 30% rice extract and a probiotic complex to strengthen the skin barrier while brightening and soothing the skin. All in all, I actually am looking forward to repurchasing this, and it’s on par with my HG Round Lab sun cream. If you’re looking to pick this up, don’t forget to use INFO10SCY! #scyriusreviews #VANAFamily #stylevana (at Singapore City Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaB_3ntLSpT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy I got to unwind again with this bunch. One thing I noticed very quickly about shuttling between houses is how I don’t always get to have my favourites with me. I can barely pick a favourite amongst the 5 but can definitely pick my top 3 (from the 4 I’ve tried). The hype is real 😂 I was sent these goodies by @stylevana_sv a couple weeks ago and slowly introduced them into my routine. I don’t know how I lived without the @rovectinsg Treatment Lotion but it’s not something I want to be without anymore! It’s super hydrating and has a slightly viscous watery texture. I use it right aft the @isntree_sg toner which is soothing, hydrating while gently mattifying. I feel like it helps reduce the redness of angry spots when I have them. While the @isntree ampoule is soothing and hydrating, I haven’t used it for long enough. The @beautyofjoseon_official Sun Cream has a really hydrating lotion texture that absorbs so beautifully and leaves a dewy finish. There’s no white cast and it actually reapplies without pilling for me. I have a promo code INF10SCY till April! You can get 10% off all orders, and 15% off orders above USD59/ CAD75/ £43/ AUD77/ €48. They don’t have shipping worldwide yet so do check that they ship to you before place an order!

Peripera Moonlike Lavender Pink 💕 So happy I picked this up last month! Been seeing @peripera_official all over my feed, esp in @matchaslushie’s posts! Loving how soft and blendable the shades are. They also seem to be a slightly more pigmented version of the Rom&nd Peony palette, and last pretty well on the lid without a primer. They do not crease or wear off after a day of wear which is a win in my books.💕 #scyriusreviews (at Singapore City Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZOP8etrMP6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jolse Black Friday Haul ☀️ Late with my Black Friday hauls! I received some of them early in December but much was happening and so couldn’t post them. Still waiting for my last one from Flare Audio but here’s my very first @cosmetic_jolse haul! I’ve seen the generous amount of samples they usually send but it still didn’t prepare me for the little bag of them I received! I was directed by @shinysiopao during BF because my HG @roundlab_sg Sun Cream was going for ~SGD15! It’s a beautiful hydrating sunscreen that goes on beautifully, feels like nothing on the skin and gives it a soft focused glow. The only downside is that it gets me oily in this weather, but seriously, what doesn’t get oily in this heat and humidity?😂 The @b_lab_global Sunscreen was also going for ~SGD7 and I was definitely excited to try. Been using it daily since receiving my parcel and it’s a beautiful hydrating cream that doesn’t get me as glowy nor as oily as the Round Lab one. It’s great for everyday use, esp under makeup. Both do not have a white cast though I believe the B Lab one may be a blended sunscreen while the Round Lab is a chemical one. I’ve not tried the others but have been dying to try the sun care products from @abib.sg, while @wellderma_korea is completely new to me. #scyriusreviews (at Singapore City Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXijdANJsT5/?utm_medium=tumblr
