Aparna asks:
Hi IMBB Team,
I am in Singapore for a couple of months on work. Need your suggestions on what skincare and eye-makeup I can pick up here that’s not easily available in India. Whatever I’ve seen here (like TBS for example) is comparatively pricey than in India, so I’m thinking to restrict myself to brands not available back home.
Also, my skin has started misbehaving as soon as I came here. I have combi-oily skin that has become more oily and dull, with some zits too!! My regular cleanser (Biotique) & scrub (Lotus/St. Ives) are not working. Please help!
More details: I’m 29, dark skinned, work most of the day in AC, and not a very regular makeup wearer (unless on weekends), but a big sucker for skincare and bath products. And eyeliners (can’t get enough of them!!)
Suggestions please!

Thank youz Neha! That article is a gold mine! *woot*
Aparna, for skincare and makeup, it makes sense to check products not easily available in India or the ones which are over-priced here.
Try:
Shiseido – good sunscreen, face washes, foundations
Shu umeura – AMAZING cleansing oils (but pricey)
Urban Decay – 24/7 eyeliner pencils – some really interesting colours
NARS – Blushes, Cream liners/shadows, lip pencils, eyeshadow primer
MAke Up Forever – Great eyeliner pencils, blushes, foundations
Check local skincare and bath products in places like Boots and Watsons. Boots No. 7 line is interesting and has some winning products in skincare and makeup.
