This eucheuma seaweed is also known as ‘underwater birdnest’(海底燕窝） I did not realize until recently that I’ve been raised eating collagen-rich plant, sea, and animal product.

I requested a one-to-one makeup session as my belated birthday gift (Our family values time and skills over gifts) So Manda bought heaps of products over: primer, foundation, putti, eye palette etc. With them, Manda did some magic on me. …
