Garnier Gentle Clarifying Foam and Whiten and Protect Moisturizing Cream

Because I bought so much stuff from Maybelline, (and maybe prodded the attendant a little) Nerissa gave me this:


Actually 7 boxes which contained:



Let's take a look at the Garnier Gentle Clarifying Foam first.


If you have sensitive skin, I will tell you upfront to avoid this product by all means! First time I used this, my face broke out into a gajillion zits. Kidding, just 2. Even MB who has normal skin had 3 huge pimples for a few days! And we had 7 mini bottles which I gave to my cousins. I hope they had a better experience than us.

Now the Whiten and Protect Moisturizing Cream is another story...


I have absolutely no idea why I'm so hiyang to this product. I don't break out. I even use it to whiten some dark spots on my face. I've been using it for months now and have not encountered a problem. One pack is enough for 2 applications on my face, neck and décolletage. I'm now using this instead of Pond's. I no longer use any Pond's product after so many years of loyalty to the brand.

I like this cream. It's not greasy, not oily.It leaves a smooth matte finish. And even after a few hours without makeup, my face is not shiny at all unlike with Pond's moisturizers. I also like the subtle fragrance. It doesn't give me allergies. If you have sensitive skin, I suggest you test this product out first before applying all over your face. Maybe apply some on the insides of your elbow or on your jaw line then test for itching and rashes.

This product blends well with makeup primers and liquid foundation from The Face Shop. Will I repurchase? Already did! Bought 2 bottles in spite of still having a dozen or so more of the free packs.

How about you? Do you you use Garnier products? How do you find them?

    really? Garnier broke me out after 2 weeks. Maybe even less than that :/
    I'm trying Pond's.
    I'll be posting a review on Garnier myself in a while :)

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
