5 Things I Love Vol. 11 : The whirlwind that was July

August 3, 2020 Paris B Leave a Comment

I met with some friends for the first time in months, and over lunch, we mused over what a blur the first half of the year has been. I said that as far as I’m concerned, 4 months of 2020 are a write-off.

We’ve entered August 2020, and I’m still struggling to figure out what I’ve been doing from March to June! LOL! I have been busy, that much I know.

Now that July 2020 is past, I’m looking back to see how the month has been, and to pick out 5 of the high spots of the month.

With most of life going back to normal for many of us this past month, I’m sure you too are seeing bright spots in your months so feel free to share with me too! 😀

Don’t be so sensitive! Let the Mamonde Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream step in to calm redness and moisturize your skin

When the offer was made for me to try the new Mamonde Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream ahead of its launch, I had no hesitation to accept!

While I’m not your biggest fan of Korean skincare products, there are 2 brands I will pause and try. The first is Sulwhasoo, and the second, is Mamonde. Both, spanning different ends of the price spectrum, but both have generally worked well for me 🙂

I’d not had much luck with their creams before this, always feeling like they’re too light. But this one was different. This one is something I’m happy to keep using! 🙂

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Boost skin energy and recover your glow with the new Mamonde Red Energy Recovery Serum

If red be the colour of energy and life, then it is most apt that the newly launched Mamonde Red Energy Recovery Serum comes in a striking red glass bottle.

The Red Energy range is a new range within the affordable Korean Mamonde brand. It presently features just one product – the Red Energy Recovery Serum, that is targeted at revitalizing the skin.

Pucker up pillowy soft lips after treating with the Mamonde lip sleeping mask

It often surprises people to know that lip balm does not feature high on my list of must-have beauty items. “But you’re a beauty blogger!” They cry. To which my answer is “Yes I am, so I’m more discerning”

Unless I’m in a cold, dry climate, I never wear lip balm in the day. I personally believe that regular use creates dependency, but that’s just me.

That said, I do take care of my lips – I just do it at night. Like with hand cream.

I usually slick a layer of Lucas Papaw Ointment on my lips every night before bed. That’s my regular lip treatment – it’s affordable and lasts me years if I buy the large tub. That said, I have been informed that it’s increasingly hard to find locally, not that I know why.

A while ago, I discovered the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and that had proven to be a favourite lip treatment. In fact, I never ever leave home without it – hotel rooms, airplanes etc have notoriously dry air. Sometimes, I use it just to give my lips a treat, and I wake up with soft, smooth, flake-free lips.

So, when I came across the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask, I was intrigued enough to have a go.
