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!
