The Little Black Beauty Box - Shiseido


Previously I bought a few boxes of Vanity Trove, but as I find the samples in Vanity Trove getting more and more uninteresting, I decided to look for other beauty boxes instead. After doing some research, I found the recently launched "The Little Black Beauty Box" (LBBB).

A joint venture by mediacorp styleXstyle and Robinsons, each month, the LBBB delivers to your doorstep a box containing a variety of beauty products in a dedicated theme, all for just S$19.90 (free shipping in Singapore).

Online reviews on the past boxes showed the boxes with reasonable sized samples from quite reputable brands, all for a lower price than Vanity Trove. So I decided to try out the August box which happens to be themed "Shiseido" a brand which I am a fan of.


LBBB has a nice customer service which calls you up one week before delivery to confirm delivery timing, and finally after a long long wait (I order in early July), it finally arrived! Ribbon wrapped, the LBBB looks like a black book. Inside the LBBB, there is a small brochure with the information of all the items in the box, personalized with your name written on top of the brochure. Greedily, I dug into my LBBB and got a very pleasant surprise! Look at the box full of Shiseido products, especially the ones from Shiseido upcoming new range Ibuki.

From Top: 1. Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper, 2. Translucent Loose Powder, 3. Zen Eau de Parfum, 4. Ibuki Gentle Cleanser, 5. Pureness Refreshing Cleansing Sheets, 6. Ibuki Protective Moisturizer Emulsion SPF 15, 7. Ibuki Softening Concentrate Lotion, 8. Makeup Lacquer Rouge in RD 607, 9. Ibuki Refining Moisturizer Emulsion
Nine large samples consisting of a lovely balance of fragrance, makeup and skincare (majority from their new range Ibuki which is only said to be released in September) filled up the box. I have earlier read that Shiseido’s new skincare line IBUKI, is designed for women in the 25- 34s age group and promises to help women build inner resistance for their hectic lifestyles, and I have been waiting eagerly for the launch. Thanks to LBBB, I get to try them out way before it is launched in Singapore!

Although it is nice to have some makeup items, I did slightly wished that the makeup products included were some other makeup items. The translucent loose powder is the 3rd box of loose powder from Shiseido that I have (every GWP from seems to include one box of it), and while I do love a lip lacquer, it came in the most unwearable shade for me: RED (I have small thin lips and wearing red makes me looks like a scrooge somehow).

I will not go into each items as their description can be found on LBBB breakdown of the August box. Overall I still love this month's LBBB very much. Thank you mediacorp and Robinsons for putting together such a pretty box packed full of pampering beauty indulgence! I do hope you guys keep up the good effort and I look forward to future boxes!

Sleek i-Divine Palettes

After learning of this brand called Sleek  some years ago, I have been trying to get my hands on their wonderful well pigmented, vivid colored and cheap eye palettes. Thanks to Luxola , I am able to enjoy products from Sleek without having to go through all the hassle of shipping it from UK. I first started out my collection with the Au Naturel palette, after which I went on to buy the Oh So Special from some blog sale. Just within a year, my Sleek eye palette collection grew and so I would like to share some swatches and thoughts of the palettes. My Collection: From left to right: 1.Snapshots, 2.PPQ Shangri-la Collection Respect, 3.Storm, 4.Au Naturel, 5.Oh So Special Top row: 1.Storm, PPQ Shangri-la Collection Respect, 3.Oh So Special Bottom row: 1.Snapshots, 2.Au Naturel Oh So Special i-Divine Palette Sleek Oh So Special i-Divine Palette 1.

Brand new look at Watsons IMM

Watsons at IMM has undergone a facelift to give you a cleaner looking and brighter shop! Although I welcome the new look, I have a feel that the shop has shrunk in size. Is it just a feel or a real shrinking? Nevertheless, along with the new look, we welcome new brands and products as well! First in line is a new essence booth: In season is the Fruity theme, with fruity nail polishes, creme blusher, eye shadows and lip balm. Had gotten the lip balm in peach flavour prior to this, as I thought the lip balm color looked way too cute, but the toilet freshener scent totally puts me off. >< (Remind me again why did I buy it??) Up next is the CLIO Art Collection : Image of their famous baked eyeshadows and blushes Been reading CLIO Art Collection for quite some time, but it's the first time I have came across the Art Collection apart from the normal collection. The eyeshadows swatched smoothly and beautifully. Pink trio, I have my eyes on you! Apart from the eyes
