Drugstore Skin and Bath Products Haul with Mini Reviews

This is my latest drugstore haul from CVS. I had some extra bucks, and red box coupons so I decided to shop. I might have a shopping problem and you might be right.


I heard Eucerin is a good skincare brand for people with dry and sensitive skin so I decided to try the Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion. It is a moisturizer plus sunscreen and has broad-spectrum SPF 30. I've used it a few times now and I just love this product. It is lightweight, glides on smoothly, sinks in very fast, hydrates my skin, does not cause any irritation, and does not leave any noticeable white cast (not on my medium brown skin at least). So far so good, but I will have to use it long-term to see if it is worth a repurchase. I might do a detailed review in a later post.

The Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy Total Care Shampoo is a new product and I've been seeing it everywhere, so I decided to give it a try and see if it cures my dry, itchy, sensitive, and acne-prone scalp in any way. I've used it a few times now and I feel like it does nothing special. It's a pretty regular, average shampoo. And I'm not sure my opinion is going to change after a few more weeks of use.

I needed a good conditioner so I got the much-hyped Organix renewing Moroccan Argan Oil conditioner to help control frizz. After a few uses, I feel like it is a good conditioner and works pretty well. But I didn't notice anything special or wow about it. It seems like any other regular conditioner. 

I find makeup removing tissues to be quite rough and harsh so I thought I'll try a gentle 2-in-1 cleanser cum remover that doesn't irritate my face. I got the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser which is a dermatologist's fave/recommended, not just written on the bottle but for real. I've used it a few times so far and this cleanser is so moisturizing I don't feel the need to apply any moisturizer afterward. I don't wear any heavy or waterproof makeup so I cannot comment on that but it's good for removing normal makeup and sunscreen.

Have you been using any new skin/haircare products lately? Please let me know in the comments below.

15 Must Watch Chinese Youth Dramas That are Artistic Masterpieces

I stopped watching youth dramas (dramas usually set in high school/college backdrop) over a year ago since I felt like I was getting too old for these. I find most of them quite juvenile like I am watching the Disney channel. However, before I completely stopped, I tried watching more than 30 popular youth dramas and I had to drop most of them because they were just too mediocre, with bad writing, and bad acting/editing. But I also found some gems that were just too good and should not be missed by anyone, doesn't matter how old you are. These dramas have something more than just being a funny/silly high school/college drama. They have some kind of an x-factor to them that makes them quite unique in my opinion. Be it the story, the casting, the cinematography, the costumes, the locations/settings, etc. all together create a magical on-screen experience that I have not found in the other youth dramas that I have seen. Listed below are my top picks from the Chinese youth drama genre ...

10 Popular Perfumes/Mists With The Same Scent DNA As Baccarat Rouge 540

 Baccarat Rouge 540 was launched in 2016 by the famous perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Since then it has reached a whole new level of popularity when it comes to perfumes, especially on social media. But since it is a very expensive perfume there are a lot of people like me, who cannot justify spending so much on a perfume, and who are looking for something similar that costs less. On the other hand brands that grasp the popularity also come up with perfumes that are inspired by the OG. People refer to these as dupes or smell-a-likes. It's basically a win win situation for everyone. I am personally not crazy about the scent profile that BR540 belongs to but since it is so hyped I wanted to try it out for myself. So I went to the store several times and tested it on the paper strips, on my clothes, and on my skin. And after several tries I decided that it is not really for me. It's a little too spicy and woody for my tastes. And since it is so expensive it's also not some...

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I ...
