![The Style Mermaid by Kisty Mea • Bellabox March 2013
03/05/2013 Update: I have so many things to blog about, including the recent Big Blog Exchange contest + live draw, but there a number of pressing matters that I need to fix first. I don’t think I’ll be able to relax or think straight until the end of next week. Figured I’ll just share some of the entries that’s I’ve been meaning to post but couldn’t find the right time to do so (I am so OC when it comes to post scheduling).
Last November, I made a Vanity Trove review, a subscription box here in Singapore. And because I’m not a beauty hoarder, it took me a couple of months to finally consume the samples they given me. Now that’s done, I figured I can try the other subscription boxes in the country.
Bellabox is worth $19.95 and it’s cheaper than Vanity Trove’s $25/month. You’ll receive 5 beauty samples, strictly 5 samples only.The box is small but pretty, which I love because it’s just right for my make-up. [[MORE]]
Anyway, these are the products they sent out last March. I was more disappointed than amazed with the samples though. I’ve realized that I’m already happy with my beauty regimen. I don’t really need more gunk on my face (But I still want a bottle of Ujene’s serum).
Anyway, most of these products were the beauty goodies I’m going to give to my Instax Winner and newfound online friend (I usually end up being friends with my winners YAY), Aia.
1. Lemongrass House Shower Gel - This product, according to the leaflet attached to the box, is back by popular demand. It’s an all natural, eco-friendly massage oil that provides a luxurious out of body experience with gorgeous scenes that stimulates the senses. I’ve tried this product twice after shower and… it’s alright.
2. Wonderstruck Enchanted by Taylor Swift - This smells like wild berries and all that possible scent that you can associate with Taylor Swift. It smells nice but it’s not “me”. I’m not a big fan of fragrances and perfumes, I like my own scent. I’m pertaining to that scent that you can only associate to me alone.
3. Dr. CI: Labo Super Washing Foam Ex - What a weird name, lol. But this special cleanser, according to the leaflet again, is not like any other foam products you’ve used. The thick lather acts as cushion that protectsskin and an absorption agent that takes in dirt, oil, and dead skin, carrying it away as its rinsed off. Although it’s a Japanese Brand, I wasn’t really interested in trying it out. I swear by Celeteque.
4. Dr. CI: Labo Aqua-Collagen-Gel Super Moist Ex - I’m addicted to moisturizers. I applied it on a my hand, just used a small amount, and after 12 hours or so, I’ve noticed the applied portion is smoother and softer. I have no idea if this is non-comodogenic, so I might just continue using this for my hands. Hehe.
5. Mox Botanicals Lip Balm - According to Bellabox, this is a cult favorite among their members. The packaging does look nice and it’s really tempting to use, but I’ve been under plain ol’ petroleum jelly since high school.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/443c655a41b33f692c9e50efde9befdb/tumblr_mlhjshLAoz1qzpdhzo1_1280.jpg)

![The Style Mermaid by Kisty Mea • Eat Play Love
This new and quirky cafe is hidden in the streets of Bugis area. It’s a new cafe but I’m certain that adults and kids alike will absolutely love this place.
I’ll let the photos do the talking. ;)

The look and feel of this cafe reminds me of Noriter but with added perks. At Eat Play Love, you get to do a lot of arts and craft projects. You can make accessories with the use of shrink paper, sew your own doll or just draw/color with a piece of paper! And even if that’s not your thing, you can just read one of their awesome crafty books for inspiration. :)
I can’t really give any verdict on the food yet because I only ordered waffles and ice cream (for S$5.5). It was yummy but I wasn’t a big fan with the syrup they used or the fact that they pour the syrup already. Although simple, the food presentation is still better than IHOP’s.

![The Style Mermaid by Kisty Mea • The Little Dröm Store
I’ve heard about this quaint shop located in Ann Siang Hill a long, long time ago. But I had a hard time going there because of school or work. Since I couldn’t spend Easter with my family, I’ve decided to go be a tourist for the day and visit some of the places I’ve been wanting to check out. :)
The Little Dröm Store is a gallery shop that houses one of a kind accessories, pretty books and notebooks, vintage things (in brand new state) and random knick knacks. The store is located two blocks away from Chinatown MRT, along the quaint street of Ann Siang Hill.
Ann Siang Hill, in general, is full of bars and restaurants. A hidden gem for people who likes to have a good time after a long day. [[MORE]]
The store/coffee shop is hardly noticeable. The cafe is located at this street that looks like a dead-end and where a sign that says “no vehicles allowed”. If you still can’t find it, just remember to look for these signs.
Popular childhood treats! <3
Birds fly high, hard to catch. Friend like you, hard to forget.
Can I have everything? This looks like like a great workstation. :) I absolutely love that raincloud mobile, but I’m not sure if it’s for sale.
The only downside is that I find most of the items too expensive. Maybe I’m just being stingy. After all, the first rule of money is never use your own! :p But I’m glad I was able to check the place out and take photos.
