The answer is no! I think that most of you should know by now how crazy I am about colours – especially bright perky ones that go on the lips. It’s the quickest way to make a beauty impact. If you ask me how many different lipsticks one can possibly have, the answer will be limitless. Lipsticks for me are like bags and shoes for some girls. They are the key accessory to your look. There’s never a dull day when there’s a bright lippie around.



You will also notice that many brands – both luxe and drugstore brands alike are launching more and more lipsticks. My top 10 +1 favourites include Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet, M.A.C Mineralize Rich, Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain, Lancome Rouge In Love, Shiseido Perfect Rouge, NARS Satin Lip Pencil, L’Oreal Paris Shine Caresse, Laneige Silk Intense, L’Oreal Paris Color Riche, Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-talk and Maybelline ColorSensational Bold Matte Lipsticks. When it comes to choosing a lipstick, I like to look at the colour first followed by finish and texture.

There’s no rule to wearing lipsticks because most of the time it depends on my fancy and style. Red is a classic for formal occasions while fuchsia and orange are more statement-making hues that I wear to attend a beauty event or whenever I need something to perk up my look. With beige, I like to use it more to neutralise heavy eye makeup or for a barely there look. If you’re a pink lipstick girl, why not try a peach or coral instead? If colour appears too strong for you, you can always blot it off with tissue and it’ll leave a gorgeous sheer hint of colour.

Our CLEO 50 Most Eligible Bachelor 2013 issue is out! While you’re busy ogling at the guys, the one thing that I took notice of most is their hair. I don’t think the term crowning glory is a cliché at all. For me, a good hairstyle can make or break a guy. Like shoes, the way a man wears his hair says a lot about him.

I’m a little embarrassed to say this but I used to have a thing for men with long locks – more so in a ponytail. Think Antonio Banderas in Desperado. Honestly speaking, probably only 1 in 10 Chinese guys can pull that kind of look off. Regardless, there’s something very sexy to have hair fall over his face.





But now, what’s very attractive is hair that’s closely shaven as spotted recently by Robert Pattinson, or a style that’s epitomises masculinity such as that of David Gandy or David Beckham. It just makes you want to run your fingers through. The fringe is longish but is properly styled while the sides are neat and shortish. Just look at Beckham and Gandy and you’ll notice how this style enhances the masculine jaw line perfectly.

For men with naturally wavy or curly hair, I think it’s pretty cool to keep the look and let the texture work at its Mother Nature’s best as with Orlando Bloom. But if it’s a bit more unruly and frizzy, it works to have it short or tamed and styled as Gandy had done. Nothing is more of a turn off than a guy with a head of dry, fizzy mane that resembles permed locks. Last but not least, boyish cut like one on Chace Crawford is cute and it’s also one of the most versatile styles that look good on most men. 

So the next time your BF tells you he prefers girls with long hair, let him know what a good hairstyle makes of a man and give him something to think about.

Cocooned in the cosy room inside Pure Tincture, I couldn’t help but feel relaxed and pampered. For 60 minutes, the Snowberry Signature Rejuvenating Facial, $160, promises to put my rather-stressed-out skin back into equilibrium. It uses biodegradable grains in the exfoliator and natural clay to purify, cleanse and invigorate the skin through a mask. Highly effective anti-inflammatory activity is also provided by a combination of natural plant extracts such as the Terminalia Arjuna Bark Extract from the Indian Arjuna tree. My skin is soothed and renewed after treatment. It remains calm and balanced for the next few days. I was able to get away with putting little makeup on. I was told that though Snowberry targets ageing concerns, it doesn’t mean women in their 20s can’t use their products. In fact, their Bright Defence line helps to counter free radical damage that can cascade to other problems like discoloration and pigmentation. You'll also love the cute drawings on the products.
