Just in time when I was about to check The Face Shop to see whether they already have stocks of my favorite mask sheets, saw there was this promo going on. The sales rep repeatedly informed me that if I buy 1,000php worth of make-up products, I shall get two Vita masks, and a toner and moisturizer sampler.

So enthused, I thought I would just buy another pressed powder, Lovely ME:EX in NB35. I like this particular color, because only in The Face Shop I found a color that suits my skin, since I am slightly a morena skin.

We went back to the office and I felt I'm melting my make-up, the cream foundation I used. I remember I brought this facial mist with me, the Bamboo Water from Etude House Aqua Cure line:

This is my facial toner story. After trying out so many different toners, I've found these favorites (in order) seen below. First, the facial freshener, or facial toner of the Collagen Moistfull product line of Etude House.

Application was a breeze after removing the bottle stopper, make sure you use a cotton to wipe allover the face and neck. The liquid is a little thicker than regular alcohol-based toners. This one is almost gel-type, in my opinion.



 Last December, I could not have resisted taking a picture with the huge poster of Kim Hyun-joong at The Face Shop store at SM Megamall, if not for my super kill-joy then boylet.

Okay. Now it's not because of this star why I'm hooked with this korean brand so far. For the record, I hate
