I Bought Korea’s No. 1 Soap on Sale. I Got More Than I Bargained For

I bought this box of Milk Baobab Original White Soap last year. Why? First, it said Korea No. 1 Personal Care right there on the display. Second, it was on sale. That was really all the convincing I needed. 😆 It came with 10 bars, so I knew I was committing to this soap for quite some time. I just didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It’s mild. And for me, that matters more than you might think. I don’t like using strongly scented products before going to bed because the fragrance can make me keep coughing when I’m trying to sleep.

Dior Le Baume I received this little sachet of Dior Le Baume and apparently decided that not one molecule was going to escape me. I squeezed it. Folded it. Pressed it. Then probably squeezed it again just in case the laws of physics had changed since the last attempt. There wasn’t much product to begin with, but my hands only needed a small amount so this lasted a few days.  I also enjoyed what was there enough to make sure I got all of it. And really, isn’t that the point ...
