Goodbye 2017 Hello 2018

Today marks the last day of 2017 and as I sat down to pen my last entry for the year, I can't help but gets reminded of the ultra talented Jonghyun's suicide with the realisation once again, that life is so fragile and precious and its sooo important to be happy. One day, he's here and the next day, he's gone.

Top 15 Tried-and-Tested Products I Love In 2017

Here are some of my top picks in 2017, after trying out 89 products in this year alone. Did you see some of your favourites?

1) A'Pieu Pure Block Natural Sun Cream SPF45 PA+++ : Suncare is essential in our daily arsenal and A'Pieu Pure Block Natural Sun Cream is my top pick for sunscreen this year. Loving the price and the texture! Despite it being a chemical product, I do foresee myself buying this again, should I fail to get a physical sunscreen with a texture I like. I am on my 2nd tube now. Top Amazon choice with many positive reviews. You can buy from here. 

2) Grown Alchemist Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser Olive Oil and Plantago Extract : A nourishing cleanser is important to me, because my skin tends to react badly to harsh cleansers. Grown Alchemist Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser is my holy grail cleanser for 2017 and I am on my 2nd tube now with another tube as a backup. 5 stars reviews from users on Amazon as well. You can buy from here. 

Review : Laneige Water Bank Double Gel Soothing Mask

Product Description
A moisturising and soothing mask that helps to relieve the tension in skin. The hydro gel lowers skin's surface temperature for soothing effects. Contains green tea and chamomile to soothe and moisturise skin. The thick hydro gel soothes skin exposed to UV rays, seeping deep into skin to keep it moisturized.

Key Ingredients :
Hydro Ion Mineral Water : Infused with 6 ionized moisturizing minerals that play a role in regulating skin moisture, it swiftly penetrates the skin to activate natural moisturizing genes in the skin. 
Quinoa extracts : Quinoa has been a food source for mankind for the past seven thousand years. It is also known to protect the skin from dryness and damage. 
Natural olive oil : Micro-sized botanical oil particles absorb quickly into the skin to reinforce the lipid barrier in the epidermis to help retain moisture and smoothen the skin texture. 
Tillandsia extract : Rich in betaine, a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that plays an important role in hyaluronic acid synthesis in the dermis.
