I made this video to discuss what sorts of skincare gifts are good and bad, which ones are safe and which ones you should stay away from (unless you hate the person you’re gifting it to). I also included a few suggestions for ...

Gift Ideas for a Good Cause From The Body Shop

Michelle Wong — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 20:52:34 +0000

Christmas is always a stressful time of year, with so much event planning and food prep and running around before all the shops close for public holidays. That’s why I’m a big fan of gift sets, and The Body Shop always has a great selection at various price points. I’m not a huge fan of unbridled capitalism, but I also ...

iHerb, every Aussie beauty lover’s favourite grocery-store-that-sells-Real-Techniques-for-cheap, now has a Korean Beauty (K-Beauty) section! The prices aren’t too bad compared to other K-Beauty outlets like RoseRoseShop, considering iHerb’s cheap and fast shipping.

Do Asians really need their own sunglasses?

Michelle Wong — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 21:30:13 +0000

(Note: When I write “Asians” here, it’s shorthand for people of Asian ancestry, in particular East Asian.) My entire life I’ve had difficulty getting glasses that fit me. If a pair of sunglasses fit me around the front, they’d tug my ears forward. If they fit my ears, they’d hug my temples too closely and give me a headache. During ...
