Black Pond’s

ponds pure white deep cleansing facial foam with activated carbon, by bitsandtreats Pond’s Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam with Activated Carbon

After several days of apprehension, I finally had the courage to try the black Pond’s. I have to admit that this is one good product. It leaves the face really clean. But I think that it dries up my skin. Or it’s probably the weather. Any which way, I never saw peeling with my other facial washes, just with this one.

As with all Pond’s products that I’ve used, I get a little bit more oil than usual on my face when I wake up in the morning. Then during midday, my skin dries up.

Nonetheless, I was really enjoying this product until the 4th day of use. Alas, my love affair with Pond’s had to come to an abrupt end. My face broke out. Yes, it’s been almost a week and I’m still nursing a few pimples brought about by my usage of Pond’s. Haaayy…

Well, at least I was able to finish this sample pack from Cosmo. If you’re not sensitive to Pond’s, I really recommend that you try this product. It’s very affordable and it cleanses well.

P.S.

I forgot to say, it's not dengue! Yay!

    Aw talaga? I actually bought two sachets, I'm anxious because I might get breakouts (I get that when I use Pond's, pero specific items lang). But I agree the product does work well in terms of cleansing!

    My skin last week has been dry, but I can't say for sure if it's the weather or the PONDS, but when I broke out a couple of weeks ago, my dark spots lightened using this. I'm still using it and so far, it really cleanses all the make up in my face.

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...
