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. But this one is mild enough that I can use it for my nighttime shower without being bothered by the scent afterward. It’s also quite mild on my skin. Does it make my skin unbelievably soft and smooth? No. But it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry either, which happens to me with some soaps. It just cleans my skin without making a production out of it. And apparently, that was exactly what I wante...

It’s Hard to Let Go

    Remember these cute Watsons Milk Yogurt Hand Cream I got from Watsons Vigan ? I  tried the blue variant first and wrote about it here . And I finished it! I actually liked it.  So I was excited to try the strawberry one. Halfway through the tube, I started noticing that my eyes would itch whenever my hand got near it. So I thought, I should just avoid touching my eyes when my hands have lotion.  I continued using it for a few days. But then I started noticing that I get rashes on my neck, forehead, and cheeks whenever I use it.  Okay. I didn’t like that. I’m guessing it’s the scent or another active ingredient. I’m not allergic to strawberries. But the scent is quite intense.  So I stopped using it.  It was hard to let go, but I have to. My health and peace of mind are more important.  I’m just going to give it away.  Will I try another Watsons brand hand cream?  Maybe.  If it’s not strawberry.  But then again, I still...

My Experience with the Laneige Lip Kit

I got this Laneige Dreamy Lip Kit in Baguio. I was looking for a good lip balm for a few months before I discovered this.  The Body Shop Avocado lip balm is not cutting it. I wanted something light and more powerful. While in Watsons SM Baguio, I happened to pass by the Laneige stand. I saw the moisturizer and thought that I might give it a try (more on that soon). Anyway, I also saw this Dreamy Lip Kit and asked the attendant how much it costs. I think it's Php950 (I'm pretty sure it was under Php1000). What a steal for 4 pots! So, I immediately got it and the moisturizer.  It comes in 4 flavors - Berry, Mango, Peach Iced Tea, and Sweet Candy. I'm currently using Sweet Candy. There's no applicator. I use my Bobbi Brown Lip Brush. The container is very good, nice and sturdy and compact enough for traveling.  The texture isn't very thick, which I like. It feels very smooth and easy to apply. After application, I immediately feel my lips calming down. I ha...
