Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - KKV Part 1

 


From the annex of Lucky Chinatown, we went back to the main mall.


This is the view from the bridge.



And then I saw it as we entered:


I didn't know about KKV prior to this visit. Mom said she's familiar as they have it at SM North. She said everything is from China. 





While I was checking out the beauty products, my son yelled, "Mom, are you spiraling?" 🤣 Yes, I am, my dear boy. Yes, I am. 


I was overwhelmed in the best way possible! Just look at the sheer quantity of those beauty masks! 

And the prices! They're very affordable! Too bad I couldn't try any because I'm still healing the infection on my face. 


 A lot of people here and a lot that I've met stay away from products made in China or are from China. I try to keep an open mind, especially when it comes to beauty products. Just look at Chinese women. They have beautiful skin! I've been using some China-made products for a while now and they really work. I'm very sensitive and I haven't reacted to any of them and I've been using them for months already. Plus you know, I have Chinese blood, so I somewhat feel that sense of loyalty and belongingness, and perhaps some hope that my curated Chinese products are well made.  



Quick facts: KKV was established in 2019 as a Chinese Lifestyle brand. They have hundreds of stores in China and they are eyeing 200 stores in the Philippines! I hope they open one near me. 


KKV has officially become one of my must-visit Wastelands. I call places like Daiso, Flying Tiger Copenhagen, Mumuso, and now KKV, Wastelands. They're places that have vast amounts of products that you want to try and end up draining your cards and wallets. 

When my son saw this place, he squatted on the floor with his phone and said, "Oh, this is gonna take a looooong time." 😆



They have a lot of makeup, but the palette shades are too light for me. 







Look at this huge tissue roll!

Oh, totes! I didn't even bother checking out the totes one by one because I just got my Hello Kitty tote from Miniso a few weeks back. Must. Not. Buy.


The sunglasses were 50% off. 




The white one is so quirky! 

I wanted to buy a pair, but my mom was getting hungry, so I skipped this part.

Ugh..I'm a sucker for pretty handwashes, but I still have a few bottles, plus we got those gifts from Circuit Mall. 

Can you believe that these are ear plugs? They're so pretty! 


Very interesting, for when you have your period. 

These are handmade soaps. 




How do you like your cheddar, sharp or bubbly?




I was looking for the watch for these straps, but couldn't find them! 😆



Look at that fun wet wipes! This is the shelf for baby products. 




There's more KKV goodness in Part 2. I took so many photos that I need to break down the post, so your browser won't choke! 😁 Stay tuned!

Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - The Great Buddha, Curated Purchases from Eng Bee Tin, and Last Thoughts About Ramada

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light. 

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 ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
