COLOURS YOU'LL WEAR ALL YEAR

Hey girls!

Ju back here again to give you guys your daily dose of the closet essentials that you need. This time round, we're going to tackle all the ROYGBIV colours. Call us crazy, but some days we wake up and want to rock every colour of the rainbow. Both Jo and I have been experimenting and gravitating towards colourful outfits lately, and we must say, we're absolutely diggin' it!

We understand that there are some of you who aren't as comfortable when wearing bold and bright prints, and would prefer to wearing something safe, such as solid basics. Fret not! We have prepared some solid coloured outfits too. So don't be afraid to flaunt your colour crazy outfits - we'll show you how!

Here are some of must-have pieces which can give a full-on spectrum of colours to your closet. There's no other way to brighten up your look with the help of rainbow! 


Channel your inner flamenco dancer with this rainbow striped wrap dress from MFWStore. You'll look like a très chic lollipop! It is also a great outfit for a festive party! 


You'll be surprised at the different kinds of rainbow stripe dresses you can find in the market! Not only do they have bright & vibrant colours, but they have pastel stripes too! Jo is wearing a dress self-manufactured by Modparade.


Speaking of pastel, I also got myself the Modparade's Noemi Top which I am currently obsessed with! I have been pairing this top with my pink pants from The Closet Lover's Pink Carrida Pants! 


Playing with patterns and prints is a significant trend in the boho style. Jo is rocking in this bohemian abstract printed dress from Fashmob . Be sure to get ready for the heated summer with this nautical off shoulder feminine maxi number with a gorgeous handkerchief skirting. Get set to twirl all day in this maxi number.


I would say the colour, marigold yellow, has been the center of attention in the recent months. I'm wearing this lemon-hued summer dress from Shopwildpeonies. The cutting is also perfect for this Singapore heat.


Again, another marigold yellow. But this time, a top from The Closet Lover, to add a pop of colour to add into my wardrobe essentials.


This statement-making silhouette from Love & Flair, an exclusive collection by Olivia Jensen x And Other Days has been crafted from linen fabric, featuring a v-neckline, a wide waistband, matching belt! 


Who knew that dipping a toe into truly outside-the-box clothing colour such as barney purple and crimson would be this pretty! Jo is wearing this super pretty off shoulder ruffle dress from Doublewoot ! And I'm absolutely lovin' this look on her! 


Everybody needs that rainbow skirt in their wardrobe. It's a piece that you can wear to make a statement! This rainbow pleated is from Danityroses, and I have gotten huge compliments from my friends about this skirt! Just wear it with a white top and you're ready to roll!


Double up the fun this season with funky red stripes on a playsuit from MgpLabel! This minimal playsuit exudes convenience and an effortlessly chic style! It lends a cool feminine edge to your ensemble and is super comfy to wear!


A pop of orange, yellow and grey in Fashmob's two-piece! This shade of orange is what makes it such an interesting statement! Give your basic peplum top a fun twist with a fun print, subtle smocked back and bow details at the shoulder straps! Wear it with the Sylvie Paperbag Skirt to create a one-piece look! 


Can we just take a moment to appreciate this amazing dress! Although teal green was one of the the Pantone Spring 2018 fashion trend colours, I am still not over it! I'm in love with this Doublewoot ruffle dress, perfect for a date night out.


Here's another Doublewoot dress of a similar colour that Jo is wearing! The prints on the dress is so pretty that I'm sure you'll not be able to take my eyes off it! 


With that, I hope you guys enjoyed reading this blog post and learnt a thing or two about styling yourself in colourful outfits! 

Catch you guys real soon, Ju.

How Micellar Water Transformed Our Skin


As dramatic as it sounds, micellar water has saved our skin. If you aren't familiar with the magic of micellar waters already, fret not! Micellar water might seem like a mystery skincare product that leaves many of us scratching our heads. Both Jo and I were once clueless about it too, but now that we know more about it, it has totally been a game-changer for us ! Micellar water are one of the holy grail products that everyone loves, but not everyone understands. Is it a makeup remover? Or is it a cleanser? 

Cleansing is one of the first steps to healthy-looking skin and when you don't remove your make-up, the pores get clogged and the dirt build-up can leave your skin irritated and dull. This is where micellar water comes in. And if you didn't already know, Bifesta is Japan's No.1 Micellar Water Brand. They have come a long way and have perfected a way-to-go cleansing routine for us to achieve crystal clear glowing skin.






Known for their 2-in-1 makeup removal and beauty lotion, Bifesta's Cleansing Lotion has definitely become one of our holy grail products in our daily skincare regime. And trust me, once you've tried it, it could potentially replace your cleansers at home! Having tested out a bunch of makeup removers over the course of the past one year, unlike other makeup removers, the formula of this cleansing lotion is so light and gentle. It is rich in moisture, unlike oil-based products, and can be doubled up as a toner and makeup remover.

Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Lotion also comes in FIVE different types: Bright Up, Moist, Enrich, Acnecare, Sebum. And the latest addition to their product range, Sensitive, which stood out the most to me most. This Sensitive Micellar Cleansing Lotion is designed especially for sensitive skin users like me.

Living in the city is great, but it may also negatively impact our skin. Don't get me wrong, city life has it's perks, but whether is it because of pollution, fatigue, or plain old stress, city living can play havoc with your skin. Good news is that the Sensitive Micellar Cleansing Lotion has been designed to provide the defence against City Skin. The mosturizing cleansing ingredients derived from beauty lotion quickly float and envelop oil-based make up, smoothly removing makeup and dead skin cells. This is not only suitable for people with sensitive skin, but also people who occasionally experience skin sensitivity.




The cleansing lotion does not require rinsing after removing your make up. It contains absorptive hyaluronic acid for richly moisturised skin, easily able to be wiped off with a single swipe of your cotton pad. The best part, is that all Bifesta Micellar Cleansing lotions are 100% free of oil, paraben, fragrance and colorant. Gently glide soaked cotton on the skin, and remove your makeup, foundation trapped in pores, and even skin dullness, easily without rubbing.

Just so you know, Bifesta's Cleansing sheets are also a popular option, and are useful as they are convenient and easy to bring around for travel. It is also suitable for lazy days when you don't feel like reaching out for a cotton pad to wipe your face.


You can find Bifesta's Cleansing Lotion at all leading supermarkets, personal care stores, selected pharmacies and departmental stores. With this pocket friendly price tag tagged to it, this powerhouse remover is bound to leave your skin feeling spanking clean and glowy! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this little review.

Talk to you soon,
