Review: Dr. Jart BB Creams

If you haven't already checked out my review on the Dr. Jart BB Creams...


Should you be interested in purchasing the Silver/Black Label BB Creams, I highly suggest you get them from my favorite online beauty store. I've compared the prices of Dr. Jart BB Creams from Sephora to drugstores and it's definitely the cheapest here.

On top of that, do check out my banner link for a discount code! No harm in saving another few dollars off an already good price right?

Happy Sunday and happy shopping!

Closet Wars

We are all fighting our own battles.

For me, it's a never-ending struggle when it comes to packing my closet and dealing with school (that's a given). Just yesterday I had a horrible evening because I had my time planned out perfectly so I'd be punctual for class but my friend and I ended up waiting 40mins for a bus, which resulted in us being 40mins late for lecture. When I got home, I was starving and still fuming. Naturally, I started packing my closet. Yea it may be a sign of OCD because I'm trying to achieve some sense of perfection in one aspect of my life to make up for a void in another blah blah but damn just being able to indulge my senses with the presence of clothes made me feel tons better.

That is veering slightly off-topic but the point is, packing my closet was tough because of the amount of things I have in there currently. I did a pictorial tour of my closet before but it has changed a lot since then. Thanks to the WWW and YouTube gurus, I am slowly but surely mastering the art of maintaining a closet that's suited to my needs.

The reason why I am even sharing this is because I feel it's really important to understand what your closet needs VS wants. E.g. for students, clothes that can be considered staples are: tank tops, denim shorts, simple blouses. When I came up with this list a couple months back, I was so determined to buy at least 10 new pairs of denim shorts because it's something I "need" as a student and you can never have too many pairs of shorts, right? However, friends who were already working warned me that the amount of shorts I already own would suffice as I'd be graduating soon and those shorts would be sitting in my closet for the rest of my life, therefore occupying a significant amount of closet space. They were speaking from personal experience.

I have found some form of enlightenment from the YouTube links especially, and I hope you do too.

List: Taobao Stores

Realized I should've published a blog post on this longgg ago but for some reason it hasn't occurred to me till now.

Since my first Taobao haul uploaded on YouTube, I've been getting emails asking for the exact links of items and also a list of my favorite stores. Unfortunately, I'm usually unable to provide the exact links of items as my hauls are filmed perhaps weeks or in this case two months after I receive my items. By this time, the items aren't in stock anymore or I don't save the links of items or my Taobao cart is full of new items added right after my existing purchase is done. Woes of a shopaholic.

As for my favorite stores, this was the first list I sent to people who've emailed me.


I am now going to add on a few newer stores to that list so for people who've emailed me before, just add on these new ones will do!


If you see an item you like in any of the stores but the price is out of your budget, copy and paste the important parts of the item name and make use of the search function to find the same item elsewhere for probably only half the price. For e.g. 蕾丝 (lace) 西装 (blazer/vest) 碎花 (florals) 短袖 (short sleeves) 上衣 (top) 九份裤 (capri-length pants)

Have a happy weekend browsing!
