Jill Stuart Cream Wash

The Jill Stuart Cream Wash comes in a 125ml salmon-colored plastic tube with a silver screw top cap. Just a little bit of the white-colored cream cleanser will give you lots of foam. Although it leaves skin ultra clean, it does not dry it out. 

A good cleanser for oily or combination skin but nothing spectacular. If it had the signature Jill Stuart fragrance, I would probably repurchase.

Astalift Jelly Aquarysta

The Astalift Jelly Aquarysta comes in a 40g red plastic jar with a screw top cap. Rather pricey at $148, the jelly contains nano ceramides and soluble collagen to plump the skin, improve clarity and refine the pores. It also claims to boost the efficacy of any other skincare that is applied thereafter.

The texture of the jelly is similar to watery konnyaku, and changes from a semi-solid to liquid upon application. It is perfect for oily skin as it absorbs completely within a minute, leaving the face matte. It has a faint rose scent which disappears completely once the jelly is completely absorbed.

Singapore Toy Game and Comic Convention (STGCC 2012)

We went to STGCC 2012 last weekend, expecting it to be better than the previous year's only to be disappointed. Most of the displays and artists invited were the same as last year's, and though there was quite a good variety of cosplays, I have yet to see a brilliant cosplayer, professional ones included. Simply doning a costume doesn't make you the character.

Well, I'll leave you with some photos taken on that day.

Chop for the purpose of re-entry on the same day.

Most of the hall was occupied by little booths like these.

There was also a stall selling Japanese snacks, stationery and toys. For $15, you could also dip your way to plushies and miniatures.

I got myself a white strawberry chewable sweet. Frankly, it tastes just like ordinary strawberry.

Some of the cosplayers that day. As usual, I'm not enough of an otaku to be able to identify the characters.

The most popular cosplayers and guests for the day, was of course Kosaka Yun and Touya Hibiki.
