Beloved One Skincare
It has always been Korea Korea and Korea when it comes to Skincare. What about Taiwan? Taiwanese have great skin too! One of their top selling brands in Taiwan is For Beloved One. I can see it almost everywhere when I was there last November. *How I want to be back in Taiwan again!!* To be honest, I have never bought any products from For Beloved One before until I went for a lunch with them in October last year when they gave me some Bio-Cellulose Masks to try! They are the world’s first bio-cellulose masks – not any cotton or paper mask so it would stick to the skin…

Sun Moon Lake @ Taichung, Taiwan
The Sun Moon Lake experience will be split into 2 parts because there are too many pictures in this post! Instead of taking a coach to Sun Moon Lake, we were persuaded into a very persistent taxi driver who wouldn’t let us off into booking his cab for NT4000 (~$170-180) for that few hours. We only realized that we were cheated after we came back when other taxi drivers offered us NT2500 – NT3000 (for 2 places – Sun Moon Lake and CingJing Farm). 2 stops are being covered in this post: 1. Puli Brewery 2. Wen Wu Temple Visiting the brewery can be quite an interesting thing but the…

Taipei Day 3
Day 3 was pretty boring (since we covered most of the famous shopping areas). Day 3: Long Shan Temple, Xi Men Ding, Hotel (rest for 2 hours), Shi Da Night Market and then back to Shilin Night Market. Outfit of the day. I was very very hungry cause I skipped the hotel’s breakfast so I grabbed a Pudding Bread nearby first. They have interesting and nice bakeries! We went to visit the famous Long Shan Temple and had lunch at that little village place. Ordered 2 You Tiao and my god, they were as hard as potato chips. The temple was crowded and the people at the village were quite…

Taipei Day 2
Woke up early for the hotel breakfast (but it was a disappointment). To be honest, I don’t each much when I am in Taipei because of the differences in taste. Their food seems to be either too salty or too oily. It is always on the extreme side. I avoid street snacks due to the oil issue that was reported in the news recently. (Having said that, my parents still enjoy street food -a little) I always start my day with this shampoo-looking bottle of coffee every morning. Our plans for Day 2 were – Taipei 101, Xinyi District, Shilin Night Market. But it turned out – Taipei 101, Xinyi…

Taipei Day 1
We took the 8.30am flight and reached Taoyuan Airport at 1.15pm. By the time we retrieve the luggage and all, it was almost 2pm. Cabbed from the airport to our hotel at Xi Men Ding straight. I have no idea why, when people told me that the cab fare in Taipei is much cheaper, I thought it would cost about 20-30% lesser but hell no. Our cab fare from the airport was SGD50. The distance is like our Jurong to Changi Airport (slightly further up). It would only cost SGD25-30 for that distance in Singapore though. After checking in the hotel, we roamed around Xi Men Ding for lunch. Settled…

Add in Shills to your beauty regime!
I was recently introduced to a new Taiwan brand – Shills during a beauty workshop. Some of their products really caught my attention because of the unique features. Two favourite products in the brand are – SHILLS Anti-Blackhead Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Bubble Facial Scrub – SHILLS Mandelic Acid Skin Renew Toner The toner is really really really special!! It has the latest Ice Cotton Technology which tightens pores, reduces black and white heads, decreases acne formation and improves skin clarity. Have you heard of the Ice Cotton Technology? No? Okay, instead of “spraying” out liquid or foam when you press it, cotton comes out instead! The cotton is pretty icy.…
