Hi! My name is Jade and I live in Singapore.
Like half one quarter of the population, I have to do something for a living. My day job sees me working as a Legal Executive with a private legal practice in the Concrete Jungle. Can you say l-i-t-i-g-a-t-i-o-n?
When I’m not at my day job, I help moderate the Benefit Cosmetics Singapore Facebook page. I am your resident Benefit Cosmetics junkie, and am commonly known as The Beneholic, LOL! :) I also have a compulsion towards Soap & Glory, so yes, I am quite the Soap & Glory Buff!
I have been taking photos of my purchases and sharing them with the world on Facebook pages, but as my beauty stash grew, I thought it would be great if I actually organised the items in one spot. Hence I set up this blog. Even though I have my favourite brands, I do recognise that other brands produce great stuff too. You can count on me to give a positive review where one is due! :)
Since I love to write, I also contribute articles on a freelance basis to various online portals/magazines, as well as other blogs (as a guest blogger). Click here to see some samples of my work.
This blog has slowly evolved to include other topics, such as fashion (Chanel! Tiffany & Co!) and lifestyle, and I am happy to share with you these aspects of my life.
Finally, if you have any constructive suggestions on improving the blog or if there’s anything you would like to see on the blog, please feel free to email me at jade[at]jadeisabelle[dot]com.

Hello, I’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog! Will be adding your blog to my list of beauty blogs :)
Hi there! :)
Thank you for your support! Means a lot to me. XD
I’m a huge fan of Benefit and Soap & Glory too! I find their packaging similar too. I don’t know if you’ve heard of this British brand called Eyeko before but they make good cosmetic products and they come in cute packaging too. Do visit my site and let me know if you want to sample any products. :)
I would recommend the Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner for the easiest and most fuss-free application of liquid liner ever but we’re currently out of stock for that. It’s doing really well!
Hi there! :)
Always a pleasure to meet a fellow Benefit / Soap & Glory fan!
Oh wow I checked out your blog, and I think the Eyeko products look fab! I’m totally in love with the coral nail polish as well.
Thank you so much for liking my post for benefit cosmetics.
You’re welcome! Thank you for subscribing. :)

How to get what, Niza?

Thank you Abi! Appreciate your lovely support. :)
Hi Jade, you have a nice writing style. Its difficult to find someone whose words and identity resonate. Its nice that you do a lot of the pics your self. You are truly committed.
Thank you! Sometimes I do take my hobby a little too seriously….. :)
Hi Jade,
Nice blog!
I live in Belgium, and I am a huge fan of Benefit too! Recently, when I was in London, I bought almost everything of benefit! I already had a few products that i loved, So I decided that I want them all! I only have 1 BIG problem! There is no Benefit in Belgium!
In the same time, when I was in London, i discoverd Soap&Glory, and yes, I fell in love the second time! Also they do not sell this brand in Belgium!!
However, I’m going back to the UK this summer, and I will certainly by me some Benefit / Soap&Glory stock!
Hi Anke, thank you! That’s really awesome, we love the same things! :) Yes you should totally stock up on Benefit and Soap & Glory goodies. Hopefully, they will be available in Belgium in future. :)

Hello Henna! Welcome to the blog! :)

Hi Henna, I got your email! :) Just replied. Thanks!
Hi! I’m so glad I came across your blog. It’s so hard to find Singaporean blogs on wordpress, most of them are on blogger or some other site! I’ve recently gotten introduced into the beauty and blogging world and didn’t know there’s so much to know haha. I absolutely love benefit! It was the first-ever makeup brand I bought and I used it for years for natural looking makeup. Now I’m in UK for a few months and managed to try out Soap and Glory products. Needless to say I’m a S&G convert =) Can’t wait for more posts =D
oops! I was linked to your blog through a wordpress blog, didn’t realize you weren’t hosted by wordpress! Still subscribing =D Love good SG beauty blogs ^^
I used to be on the free WordPress platform, but I bought my own domain and launched JadeIsabelle.com sometime mid-March. This blog is still powered by WordPress though (on the .org side), just that I’ve moved things off the free platform so I get free rein. :)
Hi Szesianne, welcome to the blog! So happy to know you love Benefit and Soap & Glory too! How is life in the UK. :)
You have a lovely blog! I guess you and I have another thing in common – a love for WordPress!
Tried to subscribe to your email but I didn’t receive any notification in my email. And I swear I clicked 4 times to subscribe, oops! I checked my spam folder but it’s not there either :( And after I clicked subscribe, I got redirected to this page o.o Could you help me check? Thanks!
Oops, I just got it. Sorry to bother you!
No problem Saralyn! I got your email – just replied! :) Thank you.
