Laneige Snow BB Cream – a review

Part of my beauty haul in HK is this Laneige Snow BB Cream SPF 42/PA++ in #2 Natural. I always pass by the Laneige store which is just around the vicinity of our hotel and one night, the staff volunteered to test the BB cream on me. I’m not fair-skinned so I got hopeless in finding BB creams that will match my skin tone. So anyway, I was told that Laneige Snow BB Cream only has 2 shades: #1 Brightening and #2 Natural. The staff both tested the 2 shades and suggested that Natural looks best for my skin tone (as expected :p).

I was easily convinced so I walked out of the store with a new BB cream. It is priced at HKD 260 (around Php 1,300++ when converted), I inquired at Laneige in Trinoma and it’s around Php 1,700.

Snoe White Soap No. 3 – a review

Another local beauty brand is added on my list, and its name is Snoe. The Snoe Poudre Extraordinaire is part of my daily beauty regimen. I also bought their Snoe whitening soaps to try. Since my primary concern is to whiten my skin, I chose Snoe White Special Kojic and Glutathione Combo Beauty Bar. Kojic and glutathione are known for their whitening properties so I chose this soap. This is also one of their bestsellers according to the staff.

Airport Express: From HK airport to the city in 24 minutes!

On our last Hong Kong trip, we stayed at a studio in Causeway Bay. Since I’m not familiar of the airport buses routes, I decided to try riding the Airport Express going to the Hong Kong station and then transfer to MTR line going to Causeway Bay. So from the airport, I bought the one-way Airport Express tickets at the counter and rode the Airport Express. It promises to bring the passengers to the city in 24 minutes.

If you’re traveling with a group, you can get discounts. Since we’re a group of two, the two Airport Express tickets is 160 HKD instead of 200 HKD, children below 3 years old are free.

The Airport Express is perfect for business travelers who don’t want to waste their precious time on the road. Riding the A21 bus from the airport takes about 45 minutes to Kowloon, while riding the train cuts the travel time in half.

But if you’re a tourist like me, I still prefer taking the bus to have a better view of Tsing Ma bridge.

Human Heart Nature Balancing Face Toner – a review

I love Human Heart Nature products! I love HHN mostly because it’s proudly Pinoy and it uses natural ingredients. I’m a fan of their shampoo and conditioner so I gave their facial washes and toner a try. I love all their facial washes, I enjoyed using them so much that I emptied the bottle that fast without making a review, hihi, maybe next time.

For now, here’s a review of Human Heart Nature Balancing Face Toner.
