First of all, I am impressed by the bottle design with cherry blossom logo. It's eye-catching; it stands out on my skin care shelf.
This lotion is intended to be used as the first step after cleansing, i.e. before moisturizer.
Its texture is a bit thicker than some toners that I have used. After applying this lotion on my face, I first felt a bit sticky (very lightly); then this feeling went away after a couple of minutes as I felt that the lotion has absorbed into my skin well. It prepares the skin to be ready to absorb moisturizer in the next skin care steps.
I use this lotion with other items in the Anti-Aging Super Hyaluronic Acid series including facial mask (20 ml of serum), Oval V-Lift Hydro cream, and Deep Wrinkle Corrector eye and mouth cream. They work well together to keep my skin hydrated all day long and overnight.

After applying Hada Labo Anti Aging Oval V-Lift hydro cream on the whole face and neck, I apply this Deep Wrinkle Corrector eye and mouth cream around my eyes and my mouth to put extra wrinkle care on these sensitive skin areas.
The texture of this eye and mouth cream is lighter than the face cream. It absorbs into my skin quickly.
This cream contains Super Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, and Retinol which work together to smooth and lift the skin around the eyes and mouth. It can be used in the morning and evening.
Fragrance free.

This day and night cream has a jelly like texture. When I first applied this cream on my face, I felt a bit sticky/greasy. After a few minutes, the cream gradually absorbed into my skin and the sticky feeling went away, leaving me with hydrated skin.
When using in the daytime, I find that it takes a while for the cream to absorb into my skin (and the greasy feeling goes away). The good thing is that after the cream is absorbed, my skin really feels hydrated throughout the whole day.
When using in the nighttime, I notice that I wake up to a smooth and hydrated skin.
To emphasize: the sticky feeling lasts for about 10 minutes only; I’m assuming that how the ingredients work to help increase the skin firmness. The cream is not oily at all.

Hada Labo is a famous Japanese brand that I always want to try.
First, I must say that I truly love the design of the package: it’s eye-catching with red and pink as the main colours. The cherry blossom logo is gorgeous.
Each facial sheet mask is soaked in a whole bottle of serum (20ml) which is a huge/generous amount for one use. The mask contains Super Hyaluronic Acid (a proprietary blend of 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid), Retinol, and Collagen.
When I first applied the mask on my face, I felt a bit intense and greasy. It’s probably because of the rich amount of serum that the mask carries (20ml of serum). The good thing is that this feeling gradually went away after 10-15 minutes. I believe the essence has gradually absorbed into my skin.
After removing the mask, I could squeeze out a lot of remaining essence from the mask and applied/pat it on my face. I do notice the glass skin look appeared after applying this remaining essence and I love it.
I waited until I felt like all the serum is completely absorbed; that is when I apply the Anti-Aging Oval V-Lift Hydro Cream.

I had a chance to use this fabric softener this past weekend. I did two loads and I am totally satisfied with what I got after each load.
Fleecy Pure Balance fabric softener comes with a gentle rose water scent that made me feel peaceful (definitely no chemical scents at all). It softens my clothes.
This product has a concentrated formula: for each regular load, we just need ¼ capful.
0% dyes, 0% Parabens, 0% Phosphates.
Pro tips: Do not pour directly onto fabric as spotting may result. If spotting occurs, rub with mild bar soap and rewash.
PS: I was gifted this product for testing.

I started using the Hello Super Fresh and Whitening toothpaste 5 days ago and I am loving it.
This toothpaste has an easy and mild spearmint taste that keeps my mouth clean and fresh not only while brushing my teeth but also after that.
The packaging is really eye-catching. I love the simple design and the logo “not tested on animals” won me over right away. I could not stop looking further for detailed ingredients. Here is what I found which made me believe this is a wonderful product:
- No peroxide
- No artificial sweeteners
- No artificial flavours
- Fluoride free, dye free
- No sulfates
- No parabens
- No brainer
I pair it with the Hello Super Fresh mouthwash and they make a great duo.

I have been using this mouthwash for 5 days, after brushing my teeth with Hello Super Fresh and Whitening toothpaste.
Like the Hello toothpaste, this Hello Super Fresh mouthwash has a mild spearmint taste. I feel that the taste of the mouthwash is a bit stronger than that of the toothpaste, but it’s completely normal for a mouthwash (not spicy at all). This duo definitely gives me fresh breath after using.
I also like the innovative cap which makes it super easy to open the bottle.
Love the packaging in which it says “not tested on animals” and that actually caught my attention. Reading the ingredients further, I found only good things about this product:
- No alcohol
- No dyes
- No artificial sweeteners
- No artificial flavours
- No sulfates
- No brainer.
Definitely recommend this mouthwash.

I recently had a chance to try Listerine Total Care Zero Alcohol Free Mouthwash and I love it.
Listerine Total Care Zero features an alcohol-free formula with less intense taste. The Canadian Dental Association has validated that when we add this Listerine mouthwash step into our routine, it can help reduce and prevent gingivitis better than brushing and flossing alone.
It combines eight benefits for a whole mouth clean:
• Kills bad breath germs
• Prevents and reduces plaque
• Prevents cavities
• Protects from bad breath bacteria for up to 12 hours
• Prevents and reduces gingivitis
• Strengthens tooth enamel
• Fights tartar
• Helps keep teeth white
One cap (or 20ml) is enough for one rinse of 30 seconds. My mouth feels so clean and fresh after using this mouthwash and I love the mild mint taste too. However, I do notice if I keep it in my mouth for too long, it will become a bit strong or spicy.
