A girl's got to indulge sometimes, and with Chinese New Year in our wake, we're going to need detox, diet and a prayer to stave off those additional pounds we've gained. In the meantime, there's a new range of Bodyslim Shapewear out there that can give that illusion that you were disciplined, maybe even deprived. They are a range of products that can conjure womanly curves, banish muffin-tops and say goodbye to goodbye arms. Their day-use products include a tummy and full leg shaper, bust and waist support, and a…

If you're unfortunate as I am, to be endowed with hair so fine and limp that's lost its fight against the humidity in Singapore, you're constantly on the hunt for a good product to add some volume to that mane. Volumising sprays don't usually cut it, because you'll end up feeling like you've got a helmet on your head, and that sea spray thing? It's all right, but if you play with your hair as much as I do, you'll end up with salt on your hands and limp locks…

You know you almost live in the Jetsons-imagined future when your mascara applies itself. Sasa's house brand, Sasatinnie sort of makes this dream come true with its new 360° Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumising Mascara.

You'll only need to position the brush by your lashes and let this tiny wonder get to work! Plus, the revolving brush claims…

No matter how endowed you are, skin-wise, age is going to catch up with you one day (haha). Snark aside, we'd like to take the time to tell you about a new The Body Shop product that just might save your skin. Drops of Youth, the newest in the Nutriganics skincare line by the brand, is a concentrate that one would use post-toner, pre-serum. Think of it as a product that works all over the face (sans eye area) by combating the first signs of aging. This product, that's said…

Sometimes in the pursuit of beauty, we all get a little lazy. We feel you. That's why a roll-on's always good for a quick two-swipe, pat and go. Neutrogena's just launched its Hydro Boost Eye Roll On that comes packed with hyaluronic acid, olive extract and ionic mineral complex to deliver moisture and good minerals to your eye-area for better, firmer skin and smoothed out lines. Rolling on the formula around your eye also helps massage the area around your eyes and stimulate blood circulation so that's an added benefit…

As World Aids Day fast approaches - it takes place on 1 December, lest you forget - M.A.C Cosmetics finally unveils its new Viva Glam spokespeople for the year 2012. The Viva Glam campaign, which puts proceeds from the sale of limited edition Viva Glam lipsticks towards raising awareness, prevention and the treatment of HIV and AIDS has to date raised over $224 million for the cause.

No, not really. :) But their colours have definitely been captured! In conjunction with The Muppets movie coming out at the end of the month, OPI has teamed up for a lacquer collection that comes in a variety of sparkles and brights. In this collection, Miss Piggy's got three nail colours that capture the different aspects of her personality. Gettin' Miss Piggy With It! is loud, red and glittery, reminiscent of the laid-out-on-the-piano jazz vocalist lady Piggy sometimes portrays, while Divine Swine captures the sultry elegance of her at night.…

We're still not completely sold on the idea of home medispa treatments, but more and more companies are coming up with treatments like IPL, derma-abrasion and zit-zapping that you can do at home. The people at Clariancy here in Singapore have brought in a line of TriPollar products that aim to cut inches and lift faces with a degree of success you'd usually get after an appointment with a professional.

Each bottle of lacquer is made with water, acrylic polymer and natural colourants. It paints on a little watery, and you might need more than just two coats to get the job done, but we love that it…

We know your dirty little secret - you can't smell all that good after all that moshing and pogo-dancing. You need a scent that can keep you smelling fresh, but one that doesn't reek (too much) of capitalist pig. Your needs are now satisfied. The Sex Pistols have paired up with French nose Etat Libre D'Orange to come up with their own unisex official band fragrance that delivers 'a revolution in a bottle'. So how does a revolution smell? Lemony, with sharp notes of black pepper and prune and flowery…

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! We're constantly advocated to drink our eight glasses of water a day, but really, you shouldn't really forget your skin - it needs water too. You'd think that sitting in an air-conditioned room all day, and just popping out for a quick lunch will minimise the harm the environment can inflict on your skin, but a cool room and the pollution we face even for a short time can lead to premature aging and skin dehydration. Garnier's new Aqua Defense Bright Essence combines hydration with skin brightening…

Sally Hansen's Salon Effects makes sure that we'll never have to wait again, and that no liquid lacquers will ever need to touch our nails, unless we want them to. Salon Effects are adhesive nail stickers that come in packs of 16 nail polish strips, an orange stick, a nail file…

M.A.C's limited edition collections are seriously making us go broke! But how can we say no to them, especially these ones in the Art of Powder release? Inspired by modern art, this collection will feature In The Abstract, a highlighter; the graffiti-reminiscent Street Art eye shadow; and Optical Bronzer that features geometric bronzy-gold lines on a neon pink bed of powder. We wouldn’t worry too much about the proper method to apply this though – these are products that you’ll probably buy and display, just like their work-of-art equivalents. Priced…

The first ck one campaign from the early nineties, was considered revolutionary. It was unisex, edgy, young and hip. Now, their current fragrance carries the same message as the first, but on a whole new level! Calvin Klein ck one SHOCK will be…
