Is that soap?

That is the question I get every time someone sees this in the store:

I think everyone knows by now what this is. I have to admit, it took a while for me to try this. I just didn’t want to open a new lotion when I still have one. I believe in finishing one product at a time. The thing is, my Etude House Penguin lotion failed me. I know I said that it doesn’t suddenly open up in my bag and that the cap is secure. I was wrong! One day, when I changed bags, I saw lotion everywhere. The lotion sprung open. Needless to say, I left the penguin on the vanity where it sits nicely so I had to open one of my EOS hand lotions for bag use.

First off, hate the smell. Sorry but I hate it. It smells like cardboard to me. Love the packaging. So far, so good. No leaks. Love that it looks like a soap and I love the way people stare when I fish this out of my bag. I love how people are intrigued by its shape and color. And when they finally see what it is, they get that “aaah!” look.

For its purpose, I can say that it makes my hands and elbow a bit softer. I think I will eternally have rough hands and rough skin. At least this product gives me temporary relief. I have to re-apply throughout the day. MB likes this too as it’s not sticky and it’s not heavy on the skin. I will try the cucumber variant after I finish this. This lotion is addicting though.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

When You Need a Tiny Reset (Glow Cards Are Here)

The shade is actually a dusty mauve or muted orchid. It looks blue on the image, but it's not blue.  There are days when I don’t need a full day off — I just need a moment. A tiny reset. A quiet pause in the swirl of noise. That’s how Glow Cards were born.
