Glow by Lady E

  This lotion now joins my collection of empties this month I’m letting my body decide now when it comes to choosing products that stay. But my reality is that, my body is ever-changing.  Sometimes she says yes to a particular product then 2 weeks later,  I’m reacting to it.  Other times, I can use a product continuously without any hitch.  But I still want to be careful.  Especially with my skin. So I don’t treat my skin the same every day.  I rotate products.  Days spent at home require something light, easy to absorb.  Also easy on my senses.  Especially to my nose.  Going out requires something stronger.  And that’s where the Luxe Organix above came into play.  I stopped using it daily.  The scent just sat heavy on my chest.  But when I go out?  That’s a different story.  I’m constantly bombarded with different smells that I don’t notice what’s on my skin anymore.  So I used it on my legs....

A fter we got back to Manila from Baguio, we had a staycation in one of our favorite hotels.  Let's start this staycation with a quick product review. 

  There’s something sacred about your bathroom. It’s where you unwind, remove the day, and care for the parts of you no one else sees. But when you travel — whether for work, a conference, or to visit family — you're suddenly sharing someone else's space. And even if the hotel is luxurious, there's nothing like your own tiny rituals that make you feel whole again. Are you one of those ladies who need to frequently travel for work?So, you know how hotel bathrooms can be hit or miss, right?  Whether you’re staying somewhere swanky or just okay, nothing beats the feeling of your own bathroom. My Favorite Skincare Duo We don't travel as often as we used to but whenever we do, I always bring this little duo with me — The Face Shop Avocado Body Wash and Lotion. These are the travel sizes (50ml!), but they also come in full sizes if you fall in love. The Deets The scent? Fruity floral, gentle, not overpowering. Is the lotion effective for my super dry skin? A little, if I appl...

Fast Facts: 🌿 Key Ingredient: Honey extract — moisturizing and calming 👃🏻 Scent: Mild and pleasant. Not overpowering. Let's talk about my favorite mask in my current stash - Molang X The Face Shop.  I normally use masks in the morning, but this time I thought of using it after removing makeup.  I don't reapply moisturizer after I remove makeup so I thought I'd use this moisturize my face.  I wore this for 15 minutes and my skin felt hydrated and calm after. I rinsed some of the product off with water, but I made sure to still leave a little on my face to continue hydrating. I don't leave all the product on because my skin might react, plus I don't like the heavy feeling.  I skipped my facial wash that night and just let the shower water run over my face. The next day, the rosacea flare was significantly reduced and almost no redness!  ❤️ Rosacea Note: I have papulopustular rosacea and this calmed my skin impressively. BUT — always patch test first, especially...

Shoutout to my beautiful readers in Norway! You were number 1 yesterday! And I discovered something interesting. At 3:36 am yesterday (your time), 19 of you from Norway were reading my blog! I am honored to keep you company during those wee hours in the morning. Whether you were preparing for your day, can't sleep, or just decompressing, I hope you found something useful and inspiring here.  If you’ve ever had to wipe away makeup with a rosacea flare in full swing, you know the stakes are high. I've been using The Face Shop’s Herb Day Cleansing Tissue for about two months now—and I was pleasantly surprised. Even with my ultra-sensitive, flaring skin, this held up beautifully. These wipes are gentle, with a light scent that doesn't overpower. What’s more, the fragrance fades nicely once you rinse your face. I always follow up with my go-to White Seed cleanser and everything feels clean afterwards. This isn’t my first rodeo with the Herb Day line. I used the Herb Day Cleansi...

If you’ve ever been so tired your under-eyes practically scream, this little pink jar from Laneige will whisper a soft “shhh… I got you.” 💗 The Laneige Bouncy & Firm Eye Sleeping Mask is technically a night product, but I use it during the day — especially when I need a boost. It's a refreshing, cool gel that instantly soothes tired under-eyes. Just a dab and you’ll catch yourself sighing, “aaahhh…” No applicator? No problem. I use a cotton bud for hygiene since it’s a clear gel, and I only peel the foil cover a little at a time to prevent dust from getting in. The jar is cute — soft pink with a nice, tight screw cap that travels well. 🧴 Texture & Feel: Light, hydrating, and soothing without any stickiness. A little goes a long way. 👃 Scent: A subtle sweet scent — gentle enough for someone like me with rosacea, MCAS, and histamine intolerance. I’m super sensitive to fragrances, and this doesn’t trigger anything. 💖 Results After Almost a Month: Undereye area looks a litt...
