Falcon and the Winter soldier

Stuck at home and subscribing to Disney+ we have been watching the Marvel series Falcon and the Winter soldier.

What can I say about it?

Was it great? No
Was it good? Meh
Was it worth watching? No regret

It started good, but after 2nd ep it went downwards...
What I didn't like was the new Captain America. Not only that he totally ruined the view on Cap. I get he is not supposed to be S. Rogers, but the actor portraying him.. not only was his character very annoying, on top of that the actor couldn't caption his role. To me it was fake and over exaggerating, some actors just fit for the role, emotions, expressions, lines - the act makes it seem real.
Captain  was the one bringing the series down. Also it was way long for how it ended, 4 episodes would have had been enough.

If there is a season 2, will I watch? I guess it depends on where we are in the world..Covid or No-Covid.

NeogenxJoan Kim Vita Duo Cream - REVIEW

I have seen people complaining already about it and saying they feel Joan scammed them. But to be fair, isn't it the same with all "companies"? You promote your brand and product for people to buy it right? Not to defend Joan at all but just saying, as a consumer we have our own responsibility as well.Personally when someone says it's SOOOOO GOOD and perfect for all, I get SUPER SUSPICIOUS and I always take a second look because I don't trust people/companies! I mean at the end of the day they want to SELL!
I read and I hoped it would work on me despite the lavender oil etc. but knew I could get into trouble. Yet I was willing to spend the money although the cream isn't cheap!
Looking back at Joan's own review on YT and after using the cream I'm keen to know how many are in the Neogen office and how the various skintypes/age/gender etc was representative before this was approved to "fit all skin types".

The creams - Day cream is super thick yet easy to apply and Night cream - it's like a gel and light. I hate the lid, to me a little product escape each time when I close and i always had to clean it to avoid bacteria/dirt!!!
A little goes a long way so that's of good value for your money! It sets quickly to your skin.
I have super dry and somewhat sensitive but seems to be very selective for what drives the sensitivity. As a first impression I was super happy like WOW and no immediate irritation or anything. However 2 weeks in using it day and night I'm not so pleased.

1. Being as dry as I am, I urge to use my face mist throughout the day, usually it's enough like 2-4 times a day, now i want it every 30 min! If I tap on the skin before I mist it feels ok yet not the way other creams have done and therefore I urge to use my face mist way more than with other creams.
2. I get red around my cheeks!!!
3. When I put on make up, my foundation is caking!! Never happened with other creams!
4. it itches around some areas of my face.

I looked at Sokoglam's website to see what's out there for English speakers to support you in the choice (I bought mine using a Korean website and info in Korean). Sokoglam's website says "The nourishing Joan Day Vita Cream gives skin a morning boost with ingredients like energizing green tea and brightening vitamin C. The fast-absorbing formula also serves as a smooth canvas for makeup.
The Joan Night Vita Cream features a juicy gel formula that repairs, soothes, and strengthens skin while you sleep thanks to ingredients like lavender oil and vitamin E.
Using this perfect pair also ensures round-the-clock hydration.
Both formulas are free of parabens, artificial fragrance, animal ingredients, and mineral oil."

I think it gives you an idea right and also have full ingredient list! Awesome!!
But looking at the statement "smooth canvas for make up" - not for my skin! I have tried them separately and mixed. It's good they mention the Lavender oil!
It feels like a waste of money unfortunately (my own fault for want to try it out) as I have 90% of the jar left! I will see if my husband can use it, however he has even dryer skin than me...
I won't re-purchase it and I cannot recommend it to people with dry skin or sensitive skin.

I hope they can re-formulate it and remove oils and other ingredients which can irritate the skin. Possibly also only recommend it for certain skin types and not all!

Moistfull Collagen Cream

Who hasn't heard about this product? The Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream.
When I was introduced to this cream it was said: This face cream is enriched with Etude House's super collagen and Baobab water to provide moisture and keep your skin hydrated for over 12 hours. The gel texture makes this a good choice for dry to combination skin types. 
A little goes a long way and it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue or heavy feeling behind. Skin feels soft and supple after application.

I can agree my skin feels soft and not greasy, but is it the best I have used?
Did I see a big difference?
I'm actually torn, it is good but not great. What I mean is that I can feel the smoothness and my skin is moist. But it doesn't provide my skin with the overall moist compare to some other creams I have used.  I would buy it again but it's not the first I'd go for.

Neogen Knit mask

I was not able to pick this one up in Korea last time.

But I found it in Germany the other month!

This face mask is not like any other sheet mask. This one is knitted!

1. it felt heavier on the skin

2. It's way bigger, even covers the neck!

3. It was drenched in all the goodies.

Sadly the pack only comes with one per pack and cost around 6 Euros!

Similar price as Korea.

I liked the feeling, I have hard mixed reviews, but I liked a lot. Still not sure how effective this one is compare to the regular sheet masks. I have read reviews but I didn't buy enough to be able to tell.

I bought one pink and one yellow, so far I have only tried the pink!

Sorry for the pics below but didn't want to show it all..haha

A fun mask to try, all the excess fluids can be spread on neck, arms etc!

Do not waste it.

if you have extra "dry masks" you can make a DIY sheet mask!

Son & Park Beauty water

One of the most raved products in K-beauty.

The Son and Park Beauty water.

This product is a  multi-tasking toner and cleansing water. It is said that it creates a clean base for the next steps in your skincare and makeup routine. Besides from cleansing it also  mildly exfoliates with willow bark and papaya extract which help to sweep away dead skin cells, revealing brighter skin tone and smoother texture. Lavender water, rose water, and orange fruit extract impart a subtle hydration so your skin can be prepped to absorb the next skin care steps, while adding in a bit of moisture. The Beauty Water can be used in the morning to create the perfect canvas for makeup application, midday as a refresher, and night after cleansing to whisk away remaining impurities. The Beauty Water has a pH of 4.5, and it's paraben free.

My review, I love the texture and multi function.

I feel clean when using it. But lately I can see my pore clogs more than before.

It was a long time ago since I had this many black heads. Could also be because of the summer season - sunlight, sweat, sunscreen etc

I think I will need to use another toner and only use this to remove make up and impurities.

Staying at MBS

To get a room at Singapore's Marina Bay Sands you can book in many different ways.
We booked directly on their website, for us at least it was the best option.
Just a few days before our stay hubby and I decided to upgrade to another view from the room. It was the same price when we booked but since it was close to the stay it went up.
We booked Club King including Afternoon tea, evening beverage and canapes and breakfast.
We came early and decided to leave the bags then to walk around the area. We went to the lounge in tower one. We took a number and was served almost right away. The staff was very friendly and he asked us a few questions - why we were in SG, Been to MBS before, when our flight was...
Then he said "I'm upgrading you free of charge to a suit", "Your room is ready and can check in now no need to wait until 3pm", "I also added a late check out for tomorrow".
The he wrapped our receipt in a folder and gave us the keys. He asked if we wanted to take the luggage or have the staff to do it, however if we waited it'd take some time.
We rolled our luggage and headed straight up to our room, located on Floor 47!!

We opened the door and the curtains unfolded!

As we walked closer to the window this amazing view appeared in front of us

We walked into the second room and found these fellas on the bed.

And then we walked into the bathroom and found this amazing view!!!!

Such amazing room! The shower was huge as well, like a Sauna!!

We quickly undressed and put on Swimsuits and headed upstairs to the famous Infinity Pool, where we spent most time after check in.

We enjoyed lunch at the pool, later afternoon tea at the Club 55.

To cool down from the heat I went for some shopping in the mall downstairs while hubby went to the gym.

Afterwards we headed back to Club 55 for and evening beverages and canapes before going back up to the pool to enjoy the sunset. Like most other visitors. Still the pools weren't over crowded.

For dinner we decided on room service, with a huge selection!!

I really really want to go back there!

We had such an amazing time, it was pricey but worth it!

Thank you @MBS for the upgrade and great services!!

Pokemon cafe

In March or April.. can't remember.. a new Pokemon cafe was opened in Nihonbashi close to Tokyo Station. Next to the cafe it also hosts a big Pokemon center.

We went there last week, I was thrilled I managed to get us a table. If you haven't heard it's is not easy to get a table. To be sure you should make a reservation. And the reservation page is all in Japanese. So for foreigners it's not as easy.

You can also go and hope they do have seats. When we were there they had a few "counter" seats for singles, actually it's a long giant table but made for "singles" of course if they have multiple seats you can go as a group but you might not get to sit next to each other.

The menu is not so big and quite pricey. Food was ok taste but nothing special.

However it was great it came out as a pokemon character.

You order items from an Ipad and you can make orders throughout the meal, Last order needs to be made before your last 30 min. Each seating is 90 min.

The coffee was way overpriced, 8 USD for a coffee and a mini cookie!!!

But I got a coaster in plastic, I was lucky to get a Snorlax one!

The cafe also sells special goods but nothing special.

it was fun to visit and to see Pikachu.

If you are a Pokemon fan, this cafe is a MUST visit!!!

Lunch at Pom och Flora

The other day I had a delicious late lunch at Pom & Flora in Stockholm.

The place is a bit over hyped I think, the food was delicious, but not GLORIOUS as some call it!!

We had two different egg sandwiches!!! Really enjoyed our foods, will visit again whenever I can find the time :)

[체리블라썸 페스티벌 KIT02] 달콤한 말린 벚꽃 솜사탕

I saw this on their FB page and I fell in love with it.

I went online to buy it. Once I finally got it I was kinda pissed off, No pouch came!!

That was one of the reasons, I mean it looks cute and would be of use!

I also like the whole cherry blossom theme, I got the pink version as I think those colours fit me better.

The eye shadows as usual is not that pigmented but when being mixed you can build a great look. The lipstick has a very nice colour but my lips needs more moisture. I think I need to fix my lips..haha 

They are so dry. I hope it will be better as spring comes.

I got the pack for 14 900 won, aprox 12 USD.

KLAIRS Supple Preparation Facial Toner

★★★★/ ★★★★★

This product has been highly raved so I picked up a few in Korea last year. it has also won the Sokoglam Best of K-beauty.
It's said that this product is to remove excess dirt and sebum while restoring pH balance. Amino acids reduce irritation and provide deep hydration.

I used a whole bottle now and I don't know.
Compare to other tones, this was the best so far, but then I heard it could cause rash and redness and I have had a bit of that so I'm not sure if that has to do with my skintype. Or if it's because of another product. I need to evaluate. I now changed to another product so will see if there are any changes to fully understand if it's the toner or not. What I liked was that a little goes a long way and the bottle lasted for 1,5 months I believe.
I will continue to evaluate...but for now I'm in the middle.
I'd like to try the new one with out the oils, I think those could be why my skin causes to be red.

For normal, dry, combination and sensitive skin types.
This product has a pH level of 5
Size: 6.08 oz / 180 ml

라비오뜨 코드덤 캡슐 클렌징 워터

Last year I picked up a few of these - Capsule Cleansing Water from Labiotte. I love the bottle, it looks like a pill... haha 

And I like the functionality of it, you press and it comes out, very convenient using a cotton pad.

I'm not sure if this is as revolutionary compare to similar products I have used.

This one comes in three different versions - Hydration, Clearing and Gentle.

This one is the gentle one, I have used half a bottle so far and I also have the hydration. I look forward to see if there are any differences.

Find the Answer

Matsujun is back for a second season of 99.9 Keiji Senmon Bengoshi. As with the previous season, Arashi provides the drama's theme song, this one is called "Find The Answer".  It's a refreshing song with piano and strings with an uptempo melody.
I was keen ever since the previews came out and I like the song a lot, as for the rest they are good but I didn't fall for any of them. I've missed Arashi, due to work I haven't been able to listen or follow them at all which is really sad!! I used to follow ALL shows, dramas, performances etc. These days barely anything... I mean this one was released a month ago but I didn't have time to listen until today!!!!

Hot Ruffles

Youtuber Joan Kim has been going on about these ones, Hot Ruffles!

I picked up a bag at Walmart when I visited the US.

What can I say...?

Hmm... don't get the hype she has for them..haha 

But I'm happy I tried it.

I wonder how other Ruffles taste, I liked the crunch of them. Too bad I have no schedule to visit the US in the near future.

Neogen Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling - Lemon

As I went to Korea I was told about these, I picked up a few, but I started with the lemon one.

Wow what a game changer and what a great exfoliator!!

It's so easy to use there is no excuse not to. They really made it simple for us and the skin feels so different after use. I wonder how my skin will look like in a few months time. As this one contains a lot of Vitamin C I'm excited to see it making my skin clearer, smoother, and brighter!

I look forward to use them all, then to try the Wine and Green Tea versions ^^

You can get this at Sephora, Sokoglam, Amazon, SkinID (Sweden), Selfridges (UK)

What is Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling?
The star ingredient of this version is lemon, it's loaded with Vitamin C (a powerful antioxidant) and nutrients that promote visibly clearer, smoother, and brighter skin!

A chemical and manual exfoliator that uses natural ingredients and innovative triple-pad technology. This product provides gentle yet effective exfoliation of dead skin cells and impurities, leaving skin smoother and clear. Dead skin cells are sloughed off the surface of the skin using the unique 3 layer pad technology, as lactic acid penetrates deep into your pores to clean out pore-clogging debris.

Solutions for:
- Uneven skin tone
- Dullness and uneven texture
- Oiliness

How to use

After cleansing, slip your fingers into the sleeve of the gauze peeling pad so that the criss-crossed gauze side is facing down. Use gentle, circular motions all over a dry face and neck, working your way up to your forehead.

Next, rotate the pad so that the gauze side is facing up and the soft, quilted side is facing down. Swipe the softer side across the face to pick up the remaining debris. Throw away pad. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Free of Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates

페이스 블러 SPF33/PA++

This item was highly raved in 2017. I bought one to try and I fell in love.

It really does what it says and I was first afraid it'd bright my skin too much but lucky enough it just gave a glow.

It's smooth but you can see how it changes the skin and with layer of foundation etc it just makes the face look stunning!

I was so happy in Korea I picked it up at the duty free store, at the time they had "buy a pack of 3 and we give you an extra for free".

Jeju orchid enriched cream

This line was one of the most highly anticipated lines I wanted to try.

As said I used a lot of other brands before but recently heard a lot of good for this Orchid line. Especially for dry skin.

When we were in Korea I could not find it at first, I went to several stores and finally asked.. is it discontinuated?

Reply was no, but they are renewing it and therefore not in store until Jan 1.

And so I waited.. for 3 days.

On Jan 1 they released it and posters all over. I got lots of messages. And they had the Lucky box promotion too as I stated in another post.

This cream was the basic in the pack and honestly I have now picked up so many creams I donno what to do. However after using another for a month, which seems to work but I cannot really see that much of a difference. I opened this. It's so rich and once applied on the skin, it feels thick. Not in a bad way, just like it coats the skin and protect it from the cold. It has a scent to it, but to me it's a fresh scent so I'm fine with it. I will review this upcoming month and let you know my thoughts.

So far so good!

Egg Mellow Cream

Too cool for school is a Korean brand that you can find at Sephora. Expensive but good, I however do miss their make ups. e.g. highlighter and contour would be great buy. I bought this in a small version before Christmas and I liked it a lot. I was thinking this item would be PERFECT for travelling as it's a 5-in-1 cream. This moisturizer works as a serum, priming moisturizer, eye cream, neck cream, and sleeping mask in one. I mean, this saves so much space in my suitcase still I can keep my face fresh.
I picked a full size up in Korea, so much cheaper too! And I brought it with me for work travels. However the day after I applied before bed and woke up I saw a few "bumps" around my eye area and freaked out. This did not look good, only a few and not too visible but big enough for me to decide I will not use this around my eyes. For the rest of my face I think it works as it should. And I'm not sure if it's the cream that cause the small bumps but I have never seen them before with other creams. Therefore I will take precaution and see what happens, I will use again to try.

In all a great moisturizer, it's lightweight and you only need a small amount, a little goes a long way.
It has a scent to it, cannot really tell what it is, a mix of egg and something else. But for you who are sensitive, pick up a small sample first and try.

BUBBLE PORE CLEANSING PATCH

According to Etude House this product is all about: The wash-off type Bubble Pore Cleansing Patch cleanses impurities, and the pore astringent effect of Grapefruit Carbonated Water™ Bubble tightens pores on the butterfly zone characterized by excessive sebum secretion.
I have only used it once, and not sure if it worked or not. Honestly I don't have that large pores and I only got a few. My nose felt more clean but it could have had been all on my head.
It's fun it bubbled up, it has been a hype in Korea.
It's also a fun present to give to friends, however to really know how this work I think I need to use on a regular basis.

How to apply
1. After washing the face, open the product and closely attach the patch on towel-dried face while aligning it with the nose and cheek. (The solution may settle, so rub the surface of the product in a circular motion to mix the content well before use.)
2. After 10 minutes when carbon bubbles are generated, remove the patch.
3. Gently massage the remaining residue on skin, and then wash off with lukewarm water.
*When Grapefruit Carbonated Water™ rises, your skin may get red or burn, but they are normal reactions to the massage effect of bubble. If the burning sensation persists for more than 15 minutes, discontinue use and wash off with lukewarm water.



Caution
1. Use only as directed.
2. Avoid storing in high/low temperatures or in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Stop using if it causes any allergic reaction or any problems arising.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Laneige is famous for the masks. and my lips are usually so dry in the winter you can see the dead skin. I cannot use lip products because of this. I of course have a chapstick but it doesn't always work. So in Korea I was lucky to get my hand on this item. When we bought it, it was on promotion, buy one get one. I'm not 100% sure if there actually are any differences besides the smell.
Hubby and I smelled the four and decided on one berry and one grapefruit.
The retail price at the Laneige store was 18 000 won, aprox 20 USD. But we got two for the price.
If you like these and visit Korea I suggest you to go to any of the duty free stores to possibly get an even better deal.
What can I say? Even after the first night using it I could feel a difference. Hubby said he could feel it too. I'm not sure what's in this that makes it different from other masks.
You only need a tiny bit so one jar will last for a long time! Really value for money.
