Laneige Basic Care Moisture - Review

I got the trial kit version: Laneige Essetial Power Skin Refiner &  Laneige Essential Balancing Emulsion.  These both have  been part of my travel skin care kit since last year.  I only use it during my travels and since I use it in such short time and in different weathers, it took a while for me to make a review for this.

Packaging	Both come in plastic cylinder containing of 15 mL each.  It has a twistable cap and the container is small perfect for travelling.
Smell	This has the same smell as the sleeping mask, sweet floral scent.
Consistency	The Skin Refiner has a runny gel like runny consistency like the usual consistency of "essence".  The emulsion has a creamy consistency. Laneige Essential Balancing Emulsion Laneige Essential Power Skin Refiner
Application	This is not as lightweight as I expected it to be.  You can feel a little something on your face when you apply this.  This has withstand different types of weather.  When I went to HK, it was summer during that time and my skin just looks soft, plump and radiant whenever I use this.  Another is when I went to Melbourne, during winter season, it was my first time to experience winter and I was expecting my naturally dry skin, be more dry after taking baths in Australia.
Duration of use	lost count
Pros	Very smooth application smells good non sticky feeling doesn't alter makeup

Travelling really enriches one's soul.  You get to be exposed to different cultures, new experiences and it just feels great to experience a new country or a new city.  It gets you out of your comfort zone and opens your eyes to a lot of beauties of the world.

Fashion 21 Pink Obsession First Impressions

One day I woke up and saw an instagram pic of a bridal pink lipstick, and I just thought I would like to try some baby pink or barbie pink shade of lipstick.

Of course I know this will just be a phase, so I decided to buy some affordable lipstick.

Packaging	This has a pink plastic packaging with silver cylinder.

Daiso Eyebrow Pencil (Dark Brown) - Review

I got this in my recent trip in Hong Kong, this is one of famous products of Daiso in makeup, when I go to Daiso in the Philippines, it's usually out of stock.

I just recently finished my old Daiso eyebrow pencil in gray.  The old one is pink and longer compared to this one. I'm actually not good in eyebrow makeup, which was why I don't buy expensive eyebrow products.  I know kilay is life, but as of now I'm still not good at how making it 'life' hahaha.

Packaging	I love the packaging of this one.  It's short enough to fit on my pouch so I can take it whenever I travel.

Biore Makeup Remover Cleansing Milk - Review

This was a "pasalubong" / gift from my mom and sister when they toured Taiwan.  I had to finish my Biore Uru Uru before I use this to avoid wasting of products.

Packaging	Plain white opaque plastic pump bottle, very simple The back has everything written in Chinese and I don't have the patience to read them all.

HK Must Try Food, Mini List

Hong Kong is one of my favorite countries, whenever I go there, this is just a mini list of my must eat food everytime I visit Hong Kong.  The items in this list are generic and can be found in a lot of places in Hong Kong.

1. Roasted Duck/Goose

Our family loves this so much that whenever we go back to the Philippines, we bring at least one or two whole roasted ducks as "pasalubong".  It's just so fragrant and tasty.  You just have to tell the seller that you'll bring this back to your country and they'll pack it so it's ready to put in your hand carry bag.

Innisfree Apple Seed Lip and Eye Makeup Remover Tissue - First Impressions

This is one of the stuffs I bought in HK when I went to attend the convention.  Actually I was not really planning to buy this since I'm very much happy with my Biore Makeup Remover Wipe.  But I was asked to add a few more items in what I bought so I can have a box of free face sheet masks.  And wouldn't want that???

Packaging	The product weighs 27g with 30 sheets.  The sheet is round like a cotton pad.
