REN Skincare

REN has been one of our favourite skincare products since we came back from Hong Kong.

If you are located outside UK or HK, you can source REN products quite conveniently from StrawberryNet. I find the prices on this shopping hub generally quite reasonable.

Now. Let's be honest. I only got to know this product from one of the hotels I stayed in HK.

Let's face it. Most of the time the hotel products are pretty crap anyway but these REN products really took us by surprise! The smell of the grapefruit body wash is faint but nice and lingers around for hours  after shower. The body cream is great too (very moisturising)! Alex seems to like the shampoo and conditioner very much but not so much for me because I have lotsa scalp problem so I have to stick to my medicated shampoo instead. The soap is just as great, if not better than the body wash. 

Now the best part of REN products seems to centring around this Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask.

What it does is that the fruit acid complex peels off the dead skin to reveal a smoother layer underneath. Well pretty much just like other "peel" products available on the market but it does it in a lot more gentler way without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

I am not surprised why it quickly became one of the best sellers on the skincare market. Even our skincare consultant spoke highly of it. Love it, absolutely love it!

We haven't really explored other REN range yet but for now I will definitely recommend:

✔ The Neroli and Grapefruit Soap

✔ The Neroli and Grapefruit Zest Body Wash

✔ The Grapeseed, Jojoba and Shea Butter Body Cream

Look forward to trying more new brands! Hopefully will get the chance to share more reviews soon ^^

A Splendid Lavatory Experience

The best washroom I have ever been is at the Upper house. I was totally flabbergasted by its design.
The washroom door opens to a five-foot-tall dressing area, marble hand wash and a glorious view of the HK skyscrapers.

How often do you get the chance to enjoy a lavish loo experience like this?

#1 View from the door as you are walking in. Can't you tell how dedicated I am risking myself being caught taking pictures in the washroom (^o^)

#2 The hand wash area and the superb view of HK high rises.

#3 and #4 Dressing area and the cubicle.

I love the bamboo door handle... so sleek and elegant.

#5 Fully marbled hand wash area.

I love every bit about this washroom - whether it is the design or the mechanism.

Such clever design. Such wonderful experience.

See you again in the next post. Ciao!
