The Most Luxe Scrub I’ve Ever Tried — And Why I’m Never Going Back

 


I've been exhausted for weeks - little sleep, constant travels, erratic appetite, tons of backlog posts, production, and crafting.  Not to mention the daily chores and my sudden bright idea to do a Lady E Edit today (more on that soon). 

So, this morning, I turned on my relaxing playlist and decided to give my tired skin a little love. I opened a new tub of body scrub that I got over the weekend during our staycation —Bathlux Sea Salt Scrub from KKV. And oh. my. glow. ✨


I wasn’t prepared.


The texture? Buttery smooth with just the right amount of grit. The texture reminds me of The Face Shop's White Seed Cleanser. The scent? Like a spa tucked inside a chic boutique hotel somewhere in the French countryside. Very subtle citrus scent. You have to lean in close.. very close.. to be able to appreciate the scent. The after-feel? Silky, as if I’d already moisturized. Excuse me?



This isn’t just a scrub. It’s a full-on experience.

This is hands down, the most luxurious body scrub I'v ever used. I thought it would be rough because it's made with sea salt, but no. It felt sooooo good on my sensitive skin. The first time I smoothed it over my skin felt like a lover gently caressing me, the sea salt soothing the rough spots while maintaining a soft massage on the rest of the skin.  

It also has a little bit of soap ( I saw bubbles!) and some oil that left my skin moisturized, even after I used body wash after. I cannot use body scrubs without using soap afterwards to make sure that none of those rought bits are left on my skin. Otherwise, my skin will get itchy. 

It comes with a small spoon to keep things hygienic and for you to get the exact amount you need. No waste here. 


Layering Scents

I was enjoying the citrus scent, but I was sure it won't last, so I used my The Face Shop Avocado Shower Gel and my Mumuso Green Tea Lotion after showering to layer and lock in the scent. The avocado shower gel is fruity floral, which blends nicely with the citrus scent of the body scrub. The green tea on top completed the symphony of scents. It's 10 hours later and I still smell the scent on my skin. 

Aside from doing a quick review, I wanted to write a love letter to these quiet moments—the rituals that remind us we’re allowed to slow down, to spoil ourselves without guilt. This scrub just happened to be the star of the day. 🌸

After using it, I wore my favorite robe, brushed my hair out gently, and felt like I’d been hugged by the kind of luxury that doesn’t shout, but whispers, “You deserve this.”


Glow Tip: If your body scrub doesn’t make you feel like you’re being adored, you need a new one.

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...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
