Sulwhasoo TimeTreasure Renovating Water

Here's a review for the Sulwhasoo TimeTreasure Renovating Water I've been using since last fall. I have a full size 125mL/4.22fl. oz. glass bottle plus a mini 20mL/0.67fl. oz. from the TimeTreasure Duo Set

Sulwhasoo TimeTreasure Renovating Serum

I bought this Sulwhasoo TimeTreasure Duo Set back in the summer of 2019 but didn't get around to using it until last fall. It was the peak of our pandemic-year stress at the time and my skin was wrecking all sorts of havoc. So I thought some rich and intensive skincare might help. 

The TimeTreasure Duo Set included full (125mL/4.22fl. oz.) and mini (20mL/0.67fl. oz.) sizes of the Renovating Water and Renovating Emulsion (will post these next), a 5mL/0.16fl. oz. pump bottle of the Renovating Serum which I'm reviewing below, a 3mL/0.1fl. oz. jar of Renovating Eye Cream, and 8mL/0.27fl oz. far of Renovating Cream (will post next as well). Note the current incarnations of these products are now called "Invigorating" and not "Renovating" (which, I admit, sounds rather wacky ^.^).

Lupicia Tea Part III

Long time no Lupicia, not because I don't like or don't drink teas anymore, but rather because I'm limited to non-caffeinated teas until my littlest one weans, which means this post is rather old having been stuck in my draft folder for almost a year now :(

First up was a restock of Lupicia's take of the Golden Osmanthus which hubby and I had been enjoying steadily over the year since I first tried it in 2017. Since I'd already posted about this tea, I won't repeat here again.

There was another restock of the flavored mugicha I love so much, especially now when I can't drink caffeinated stuff. In addition to the usual Anzu (apricot), Pineapple, and Ume (plum) flavors, Lupicia added three new flavors: Lychee, Ringo (apple), and Suica (watermelon).

- Lychee, Ringo (apple), and Suica (watermelon): of the three I like Ringo best, Lychee second, and Suica last. Basically, Ringo and Lychee over Suica. I love fresh watermelon, but to be honest I think it's not really a great flavor for drinks or candy, much less tea. This Suica Mugicha isn't bad. It's actually better than expected, but I still would rather drink cold press watermelon juice :P
