Laneige: Water Sleeping Pack EX and Water Bank Gel Cream (A Review)

Summer is here and it is already very hot and humid here in the Philippines specially in the afternoon where the temperature can get as high as 35 degrees. I, for one had to hydrate myself by drinking as much fluids as possible to prevent dehydration! But as you know, it isn't only our body that needs to be hydrated. During this period, our skin tends to become dry and flaky because of the intense heat. 

So for today, let me share with you a product that I discovered that is very good in hydration and in keeping my skin healthy and vitalized. 

Let me present you the Water Sleeping Pack EX and Water Bank Gel Cream from the Laneige line.

1) Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX 

What I like about this product is that it is very light when applied to you face. It is so light it easily gets absorbed by your skin you wouldn't even notice that you applied it. It's light blue gel type texture is also non-sticky and it has an aromatic scent that is so calming. (Thanks to the Sleepscent incorporated in this product!)

I use the sleeping pack twice a week but you can use that as necessary. I use this at night before going to sleep. When I wake up in the morning the following day, I feel so fresh and my skin looks so healthy! :) 

Tip: When you're so stressed and had a very rough day, try to inhale the scent of this product for 5 seconds and pretty sure you will feel relaxed after! 


2) Water Bank Gel Cream 

This one is essentially thicker than the Sleeping Pack and I personally use this product in the morning rather than at night. I use this daily as it provides a 24-hour long-lasting moisture to keep me well-hydrated throughout the day. 

So what are you waiting for? Love your skin and start moisturizing! :) 


This product is available in all Laneige Branches here in the Philippines.

Cena gastronómica de la Cova Tapas y Sangria

Last March, Luthie and I decided to avail our long overdue voucher from Deal Grocer and so one fine Monday night we headed to Jupiter Street in Makati and had our dinner at Cova Tapas y Sangria.

The interior looks like that of inside of a whale. (Don't ask me how I figured that out, I also don't know why.. Hehehe)

For starters, we ordered the Huevos Cabreados. Well, this is basically, fried eggs, shoestring potatoes (yes, I also thought of Piknik), crispy chorizo and alioli. This is already quite heavy but nonetheless yummy! Hahaha

Next, for the main course, we ordered this Fideua. /phi-du-wa. This one is composed of squid, clams, short noodles and alioli. It looks scanty but this one serves 3-4 pax though.

Lastly, our dinner will not be complete without the taste of this Summer Peachy White Wine Sangria. Oh man! This sangria is the best! I think I had 3 glasses of this one! It's so refreshing, perfect for a night of small girly talk! Hahaha
