    JisuLife Stroller Fan Review: Life2 vs Fan 4

    Since it’s summer all year round in the Philippines 😛🥵, a stroller fan has become an essential for my baby, especially during our weekend mornings at the park and post-dinner walks. Over the past few months, I’ve tried and tested two JisuLife stroller fans: the Life2 and the Fan 4. I’ve used the former the…

  • My Thoughts on Two Cleansers That May Already Be Gone: Holika Holika Prime Youth Black Snail vs Dior Capture Totale Review

    My Thoughts on Two Cleansers That May Already Be Gone: Holika Holika Prime Youth Black Snail vs Dior Capture Totale Review

    In this post, I’ll be reviewing two cleansers that are hard to find, if not quietly discontinued. I rotate skincare (and makeup) products a lot, so things tend to last me longer than they should, lol. While neither product may be easy to get anymore, I’d still like to share my thoughts on them, especially…

  • Luxury Lip Balm Thoughts: Rouge Dior Balm Review

    Luxury Lip Balm Thoughts: Rouge Dior Balm Review

    I have a lot of lip balms, mostly accumulated from Dior. 😅 I thought it would be fun to do a series of lip balm posts, covering both newer releases and older or discontinued ones so I could see how much I’ve spent unnecessarily. J/k .🤭🤭🤭 I’m going to start with the Rouge Dior Balm.…

    Curél Intensive Moisture Facial Cream Review for Dehydrated Skin

    It’s about time I reviewed the Curél Intensive Moisture Facial Cream.

I didn’t plan on getting a moiturizer because I…

    Givenchy Le Rouge Interdit Balm in N°10 Revealing Color

    During my pregnancy, one lip product I kept reaching for was the Givenchy Le Rouge Interdit Balm in No. 10 Revealing Color. I was constantly dehydrated, so I avoided my lip stuff that felt heavy, matte, and drying on my lips. The lip balm comes in two shades: Natural Finish and Revealing Color. Of course,…

  • Rosy Rosa 3D Beauty Sponge

    Rosy Rosa 3D Beauty Sponge

    I think I have found my HG makeup sponge. The Rosy Rosa 3D Beauty Sponge can be used either wet or dry. I personally prefer using it wet as it helps prevent my foundation from caking. It also allows for larger coverage and application at a time due to the sponge’s increased size when damp.…

  • Itamae Sushi

    Itamae Sushi

    For sushi and sashimi, you can’t go wrong with Itamae Sushi. I go to their Akasaka branch since it’s near the apartment. It is in a bustling area with many bars and restaurants, and it looks the most accommodating and safe choice, especially for foreigners. The menu prices are reasonable, and I particularly enjoy the…

    Leejiham 5 Alpha Control Cream Review for Oily Skin

    Since I emptied the BeautiControl Facial Spa Defend and Restore Moisture Creme SPF20, I switched back to the Leejiham 5 Alpha Control Cream. I’ve used this a few times before, but I decided to finish my older morning moisturizer first. The 5 Alpha Control Cream (now called the Hope 5 Alpha Control Cream) was the…
